In the rain, with Christmas lights glowing hard, it can be hard to pinpoint where Thee Elbow Room is at. At least in my case, I drove by it a couple times before getting out on foot to locate it.
Down a few steps in a sunken courtyard off of Honolulu Avenue in Montrose the small bar is a nice refuge from the outside world. Yes, they do have two TV’s that could be scaled back to one but there are a bevy of taps and an interesting selection of beers to try. Strike Brewing caught my eye but the draft system was having issues so I moved on to a porter from Tap It which was smokey with a touch of chocolate.
The bartender was helpful. Offering information about the beer when prompted and on the ready when the next round was needed. There are a couple tables inside but the most comfortable seats were at the bar. They also offer up food as well for those wanting a pairing option.
