Serving Rochester Since 1977

Our building dates from about 1890, when it stood beside a small apple orchard. From 1955 to 1970 it was the Byrne O'Leary Funeral Home, and it then sat empty for seven years before opening as the Elmwood Inn in 1977.

Today you'll find over 25 draft beers, a fireplace and food made fresh every day. And if you're not happy with your meal, we'll make it right or we'll make it on the house.
