Eli's East ***3.5/5 stars


Juli, Kel and Nick joined me on the northeast side of town this fine afternoon for late brunch, or as Kelly likes to call it, alcoholism with a side of toast. If Eli's second location is half as cool as the first, we're in for a treat.


The layout here is pretty great. Comfy booths, warm wood and good lighting. 


Unlike the south side, the bar has craft taps, wine and all the liquor your little drunken heart desires. The menu here is pretty fun. Chipotle Cheesesteak Omelet, Brunch penne (mac and cheese with bacon and egg), Turducken Benny (turkey sausage and duck confit hashbrowns...what??!!) Beef Stroganoff Omelet...Huh??!!


Drinks first. Mimosas, screw ups and coffee with baileys...no espresso here. Baaaaw.


They have a tomatillo bloody I was wanting to try, but I accidentally ordered the house. Fine choice.


The lovely pastrami hash...if you think pastrami is lovely.


The spinach salad. #hbusa It was a bit over-dressed, and I wish it had fresh mozz instead of smoked.


One of the two things Nick orders regularly. A breakfast sammy. Featuring gouda, tomato, applewood smoked bacon. Rarrrr....


The atmosphere was good, the service was good, the company was good. Two thumbs up for Eli's East!
 
NOTE: the women's restroom door needs to be messed with in order to get it to lock. Juli learned this after she busted in on some dude with his pants down. Why he was in the women's room, we can only assume... 

Now if you're not finished yet, and you know we're not, head over to Legend's across the street to drink away the afternoon...


Cheers from Bad Eggs.
