Excellent service from Cortney & Bart. Made me feel like I was right at home at my own local bar. I can't wait to come here again & I have this on my permanent list of places to come to when I visit St. Pete!

The greatest bar in the world. Do not bother going anywhere else in St Pete. This is Emerald. This is our kingdom. This is home.

I went in at 11pm on 07/30/25 to wait for ten mins not to get served. I went towards the bartender and she was like I have three girls at the other end of the bar to serve first. I watch her finishing serving the ladies and then proceed to serve someone else. I didn’t say a word and left . As I go to leave she said some foolish comment expecting me to wait all night. What an unprofessional , dumb bartender. She should not work there. The funny thing is I wanted a surfside a drink you don’t even have to make. I will never come back to trashy bar.

I'm from St. Pete and have been here many times. I went for the first time in probably a decade last night, and was disgusted by the presence of German cockroaches crawling on the walls underneath the bar, while the bar was packed with people. I had my purse on a hook under the bar top and another customer tapped me on the shoulder and pointed out a roach that was about to CRAWL INTO MY PURSE! I spotted 2 more after that. I get this is an old dive, but maybe consider getting some kind of pest control? I personally can't go back knowing this. Don't use the wall purse hooks or you'll be taking home some new friends!

I really love emerald - but was so disappointed in how they treated me tonight. I’ve been a regular for years and I’m a st Pete native. I truly empathize with the bartender if he was having a bad day, and understand it is a dive bar… however, there’s a way to treat humans on a basic level.

Rudest bartender I’ve ever encountered— for zero reason at all. Very disappointing.

This is my kind of bar! Big fan. Love a good dive. I wish I had this bar back home. I loved it so much! If you don't like cigarette smoke don't come here because they smoke inside. All of the bartenders was fun and entertaining.
