Elmyr

"Tacos, loaded nachos, and burritos paired with cold beer in a dive bar? That’s what Little Five Points dive bar Elmyr is serving up nightly next to the Variety Playhouse on Euclid. And it all totally hits the spot." - Denise K. James, Eater Staff

"Part restaurant, part dive bar, you’ll either love or hate Elmyr. The generously-sized burritos range from a deliciously simple beans and rice, to unique interpretations like the "Brunswick Burrito" (stuffed with smoked pork, corn and potatoes). It might be the pitcher of margaritas talking, but there’s something about the ooey-gooey Monterey jack cheese that makes the burritos and quesadillas special here. Elmyr is a smoking establishment, so leave the kiddies at home." - Rogers Eckersley Design

"The abandoned building aesthetic is something that could really only thrive in Little Five, which is why this Mexican-food-serving dive bar has remained a neighborhood fixture for nearly three decades. The walls are plastered with graffiti and vinyl decals. Usual Tex-Mex fare like tacos, quesadillas, and burritos are all decent enough, but what we normally do at Elmyr is drink. Get a jalapeño margarita or a Grizz (a Coronita topped with a tequila shot) and utilize the food when sobering up becomes necessary. The laid-back vibes even when the place is packed make it one of our favorite watering holes. " - juli horsford
