Elmwood Inn is a little bar/restaurant near the University of Rochester campus and Mt. Hope Cemetery on the corner of Mt. Hope Avenue and Elmwood Avenue. It has a college/sports atmosphere, with good, reasonably-priced food, and a good selection (about forty) brews and microbrews on tap¹.

An under-appreciated, but supremely bad-ass feature: side-by-side dartboards allowing head-to-head play, with a television display. That is, two people can play each other in a number of timed or untimed games, each with their own board. Ponder this feat of awesomeness.

2008-01-17 16:52:27   As someone who went here as a UR student 'back in the day', walking in now always freaks me out for a few minutes. I don't know whether they 'classed up the joint' and drove students away, or whether the remodel / re-concept was a response to the Saturday night drinking drinking crowds drying up and leaving them without a core market, but I suspect it was the latter. In any case, this place is VERY different than it used to be (for the better, I suppose, although I do get nostalgic for when it was darker and dirtier), and even still, I don't know if it's really anything special. It's a decent bar with (just) decent food - I wouldn't go there ever if it were out of my way. Am I missing something? —BrendonTroy

She was very friendly and seemed to have a rapport with every table. She handled a loud-mouthed group of four sitting across from us, like a champ. The food was plentiful and very good. Nice coleslaw. —BigPun
