We are thrilled to mark 60 years in business and the grand opening of our new expansion. This beloved local bar, which first opened its doors in 1964, has recently grown to include new pool tables and more, enhancing the experience for our valued patrons.


The Fairfield Chamber of Commerce will be joining owner Sandra Coffey for this special event, and we would be honored to have you there as well. The Elbo Room Bar has long been a family-friendly establishment, known for its welcoming atmosphere and timeless charm. Whether you're a long-time visitor or new to the bar, you'll find a familiar and inviting place that feels like a safe haven from the hustle and bustle of daily life.


As The Gnarly Gnome so perfectly described: "You might not know this bar, but it doesn’t take long after being bellied up to realize that it’s familiar in all the right ways. Tucked away like a hidden oasis in the middle of an ever-changing world around it, the Elbo Room feels like a safe little getaway from the chaos of day-to-day life."


Please join us in celebrating our rich history and exciting future.
