"I went to the Emerald Pub last night for the first time in about a year, and boy has it changed! What was once a grungy Irish pub with a lot of character and a bar full of space for me and my coworkers is now a trendy lounge decorated like a gothic ski lounge and packed with a classier after-work crowd. They have an amazing happy hour with 1/2 price drinks (ALL DRINKS!). I was able to get an Absolut with club soda for just $4!! They have several large tables with long, comfortable booths and tons of barstools, making it a great place for large groups. The jukebox is full of classic, sing-a-long rock tunes. The Emerald Pub is definitely worth checking out, because you WILL have a good time here!"

"Old fashioned goodness. The Emerald Pub has several of the necessities of a great place to hang out. It's crowded all the time, the people are friendly, and the staff is more than accomodating. House drinks are common as are free food. "

"This was the best location for our Office christmas party. We always look forward for friday to enjoy our After work Happy Hour"

"This place is great. I was only on my second or third visit to the bar and the bartender already knew my usual order. On Thursdays during the summer they grill free burgers, wings, and hot dogs during Happy Hour (before 8pm) There's also a good selection of draft beers"

"Best birthday spot ever! I was looking everywhere for a place that had a good crowd, but didnt pack them in, good music, and a mix between a lounge and a bar. Well, I found it at Emerald Pub. Not only was the spot exactly what I was looking for, but the service was incredible. Damian, Pat and the bartender Andy treated me like a princess. All I had to do was ask, and Damian reserved the back room for me- free of charge. I will definitely be back here and highly recommend it for anyone looking to plan a party.

"Emerald Pub you are my hero. I drank. I danced. I sat on big cushy seats. I made out with a boy named Showtime who mows lawns for a living. (I have nothing against landscaping but with a nickname like Showtime, shouldn't you be in a rap video somewhere?) Clean bathrooms--even the men's room was clean (yes, I wound up in there when I had to pee). Fun music. Fun people. Nice bartenders who know their stuff. Nice bouncers who told me I didn't look my age and kept wishing me a happy birthday (most likely because I kept telling them it was my birthday every time I passed by them). Some locals and some passersby. Emerald rocked my birthday casbah. If I could, I'd marry it.".

"WOW I celebrated my b-day party and my group and I had so much fun. The waitresses were incredibly friendly and showed up exactly at the right moment when I needed a rifill!".

"I researched places, asked for recommendations and searched all the review sites looking for the perfect place to have a get together with 10-12 people for my 23rd birthday, and thanks to the amazing reviews of this place across the board, I chose it, and it was such a great pick! I reserved the back room, and my friends (who had never been there either) said they all loved it as well. I might just make it my annual birthday spot!".
