Top notch! Best pizza around. If you are a pizza snob you need to check them out. Super friendly with my kids as well.

Elation is solid. Gorgeous build-out with a wide-open, industrial feel...great for groups with plentiful indoor and outdoor seating. Excellent variety of beer choices and NA options. Wouldn't say there is a stand-out, must-have brew, but everything I've tried has been tasty (been more impressed with their darker beer options). The highlight here is actually the pizza -- try The Hive with pepperoni, basil, and hot honey...Ric Flair woo-inducing.Bar service is friendly but thinly staffed (you have to queue to order/close-out at the register).Elation is a perfect happy hour/after-work spot, but definitely NOT a place to watch a football game as it's not a sports bar, and there are no TVs to be found. That being said, it's easy to stream a game on a phone and attract an audience at the bar. Trivia here on Thursdays could improve -- it drags on for over 2.5 hrs with poor audio quality and a low payout.All in all, it's a nice neighborhood brewery in the Larchmont area.

Wow!! This place is truly awesome! Upon entering, I was greeted by the most amazing dog (they are very dog friendly)!! The service is top notch as well as the amazing Bacon Gouda pizza I received! Added pepperoni to mine for an extra dose of goodness!! As an IPA guy, I absolutely loved the Highland Park Hazy!! Can't wait to return with friends!!

Very great place. We come here for work gatherings often. You can't beat good pizza and great beer. Very spacious and relaxing.

I ate here for lunch. I got the pimento cheese and ham sandwich and it hit the spot. The service was great even though we party fouled and didn't let them know ahead of time we were coming with a big group. Elation is a nice clean space and would be nice at night with the fire pits going.

The beer was ok but the wait staff was rude and unfriendly. The lady behind the bar wasn't helpful in choosing a beer (it was my boyfriend's first visit) and seemed impatient as we decided. She had conversations with her coworkers and barely Acknowledged us, as we were keeping her fromThe conversation she was having. Later when I went to pay, she simply flung the iPad around and walked away. Here's a tip- say hi. Maybe have a nice day. Bottom line - pretend the customer exists for a few seconds. We decided to leave without ordering second beers or food and I'm typing this at a different brewery (bold mariner. Highly suggest and there's bbq!! ).

Great place to chill on a weekday. They have trivia night, as well as karaoke available for anyone who wants to sing their heart out. Their pizza is from Bakehouse at Chelsea, which I reviewed this bakery like five times by now because I LOVE their pastries. The pizza is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. No one can beat the sourdough crust. The food was amazing, and the vibes indoors are great. There is plenty of space for parties greater than ten. The only reason why I'm giving it 4 stars is because I personally don't think their beer is the best. I recommend just doing take-out from here and drink your favorite beer at home.The have some parking spaces available at their own parking lot, but some people will have to find street parking if they are trying to chill here at busy hours.

We stopped here after I'd been attending an interview and I was pretty exhausted at the time. The atmosphere was bustling and decently busy being a Friday evening. I liked the atmosphere and normally would love the energy, but since I was tired we stayed for one beer. We tried two different gose style brews and enjoyed both. They also serve food that looked and smelled really good, but didn't partake this time since we weren't hungry. Staff were very friendly. Overall, it was a cool spot and one I'm sure I'd frequent when feeling less tired!

This place is close to our house so we come here often to relax with a beer, or to grab a pizza on nights when we don't feel like cooking. The indoor space is beautiful and spacious, especially when the weather is nice and they can leave the garage doors open. Outdoor space is also nice, with some tents for sunny days and a huge fire pit for cold nights. Bartenders are great and very knowledgeable. The pizza (courtesy of Chelsea Bakehouse's on-site kitchen) is awesome. The beer is fair to good, with occasional duds and occasional standouts. Current favorites are the Highland Park Hazy (IPA) which is crisp and not too bitter with a bit of citrus, and the Rose Gose, which is refreshing and not too tart. (I don't like sours.) When they also have the Mimosa Gose, ask for a "Mimrosa," which is half and half of that and the Rose Gose -- it's the best of both beers and tastes better than either of them solo. They do trivia and kaoraoke here, as well as live music and a Sunday craft market, so there is usually something fun going on.
Came here for some beer and cards recently with friends and enjoyed myself! The space was very large and had plenty of seating, which is always appreciated. A lot of the tables were reserved, but thankfully the reservations started later in the evening, so we just grabbed a table and started playing some cards. The beer wasn't bad! Not the best I've ever had but definitely decent. I didn't try the food but the pizza looked pretty tasty.Whenever I'm back in the area, I definitely plan on coming back here!

This place was our first stop upon entering VA Beach and did not disappoint. First, the patio and indoor space is not only comfortable but DOG FRIENDLY. (Yes, that's correct, both outside and inside! Huge plus for our family!) Next beers were great but the pizza was really fantastic! We got the Arugula / Salami and Hive, and honestly wish this place was in the DC area so I could visit more often! Will be coming back the next time we visit!

Every pizza I’ve had at elation has been great. The crust is always perfectly crunchy since it’s baked in the wood-fired oven. The Hive pizza is my favorite on the menu.

Placed an order for a pizza online and walked in 5 minutes after it was supposed to be ready. I walked in, both employees had their heads down in their phones. Once I got their attention, they hadn’t even started my order yet.Sad excuses that you’d been busy getting ready for the dinner rush doesn’t make up for poor service.Granted, the pizza is good and I was offered a free beer from the nice lady at the bar, but I declined.

Great atmosphere, Amazing service,Pizza was outstanding (would want more toppings on it next time),Beer was ok. The FOX & THE BEAR were playing music and they didn't stop. They killed it, every song. Even the songs I didn't know. They even silenced a heckler at one point. Tell them I want to hear "California Love" (Tupac) next time. 100% I would come back.
