Elbow Lane Smokehouse & Brewery has opened its doors again with a temporary new menu called ‘Bites at Elbow Lane’.  More informal than its usual offering, 'Bites' is packed with bold flavours, small and large plates and casual bites; all made in-house and paired with the drinks that regular diners know and love. The move follows a small fire at the restaurant earlier this month, which caused some external chimney damage and necessitated a temporary closure. 

Think small plates such as “Deep fried pork belly, fish sauce caramel, chilli & peanut crunch” and “ Koji Beet carpac­cio, pick­led wal­nut, gar­lic scape, water­cress and Cais na Tire” and sharing plates like ‘Slow smoked baby back ribs with house sauce’ and ’Pan seared hake, pis­ta­chio beurre blanc with glazed veg’.

“While the grill gets a makeover and everything comes back up to full steam, we are taking this opportunity to freshen things up and try out some new ideas on our menu,” says Harrison Sharpe, head chef of Elbow Lane.  "Although reservations can be made up to a week in advance, we welcome walk-ins and guests who just want a drink and a quick bite. As we gear up to open fully, we are hoping to introduce some new diners to a taste of Elbow Lane with this more relaxed format" he adds.
