Eli's Tavern - Milford

Never made it inside. Parking is an issue when you are not from the area and don't know the best options. It is located in a popular area.

$10 cover last night for a DJ that gave the same experience as my elementary school daughters sock hop. Played maybe 3 good songs, there were less than 10 people on the dance floor at all times and DJ refused to listen to what the crowd wanted. No one wants house mixed Katy Perry. Especially not for $10. I chose not to request any songs, but my friends did. None of which the dj played. Upon leaving the dj called out to me through the window and told me to come back inside. I said no because the music sucked and he said “you didn’t even request anything” and after explaining that my friends did and he refused to play them he said “well have you seen your friends, you should have requested them”. If you think insulting my friends is going to help, it doesn’t. I’m sure the majority of the managements energy has gone into Elicit, but Eli’s management needs to do better with sourcing DJs. The opportunity to steal business from the stonebridge line is there, but not with a dj that’s playing shakira from 2010.

Really cool joint. Nice brass top bar. Lots of dark woodwork. Lots of tables and a few booths. Good bar service. Didn't eat, so can't say anything about the food. No parking there, but that's not a turn off.

Ambiance is very nice, food was great, service on point. Appetizers delicious. Try the roasted Brussel sprouts with potatoes.

Here on evening of 1/6.... not greeted the bartender too busy showing pictures on phone with other guests so walked out after waiting several minutes to be greeted or even acknowledged ...First time to visit so kinda disappointing. Especially based on reviews.NOTE: I can't reply to your message directly but I wanted to thank you for the response
