There is rarely a better feeling than knowing there's a place right down the street where you can go to read, drink beer or hang out with friends in a pub with a friendly, open atmosphere. The huge, cavernous space provides the ideal people-watching deck with its floor-to-ceiling windows and spacious interior. It also serves as a wonderful place to sit on huge, overstuffed couches and chairs, sip house beers and listen to live jazz. The bar is limited to beer and wine, but with the famous Elysian house brew on tap, that's no hardship. The menu consists of some above-average pub food, as well as an impressive amount of vegetarian options. Nighttime patrons tend to be mostly Capitol Hill hipsters, while the daytime brings in a slew of laptop users (the pub provides a free Wi-Fi connection). Parking is on the street at this Capitol Hill locale, so be prepared for a walk.
