Great food and server. My husband and I asked for a beer we were going to share and they put it in two glasses! Really appreciated that! We were not rushed and truly enjoyed our meal.

My group came into Emerald Loop the other night and although the staff was amazing and accommodating, the manager, Russell, was very rude. A couple of people in our group who interacted with him said he had a bad attitude and had zero sense of hospitality. If the owners of this establishment think that’s a qualified manager and allow him to treat guests that way, they will lose business quickly. You should reassess what qualifies as a cultural fit in your company because the disconnect between the wonderful staff and the bad manager was apparent.

Emerald Loop is great Irish Pub to watch a sporting event. My brothers and I met at the Emerald Loop to celebrate my brothers birthday and to watch the Bears game. The Guinness was poured correctly. The food was excellent pub food. We ordered hot wing's and pub Nocho's to start with. After the appetizers we ordered from the Octoberfest section and the pork schnitzel and brat were excellent. The service was great are waiter was always prompt and on top of his game.

The wife has been here before and has always enjoyed it; she brought me in for my first time. The place was hopping when we got here. We waited approximately 20 min before we got someone's attention to put in our order. We finally got our food at 58 min after we sat down. Now I get they were busy, I don't expect perfection especially when its hopping. That being said it still feels like we were dropped.
Normally include pictures but it took so long, we were hungry and dug in. I ordered a steak salad, medium. When the salad arrived the steak was well done. Everything else tasted great (wings and shepherds pie). The staff recognized we had been waiting a long time and the snafu with the salad; they did their best to remedy it and comped the salad altogether (greatly appreciated it). I could tell the staff genuinely regretted our experience.
The wife loves this place and I think it was just an off night, I would still give it a shot again.

Karina our waitress was great! Very nice and welcoming. On top of everything. Anything we needed she did not hesitate to help. The food and drinks were good as well. If you're in the area go see Karina at Emerald Loop Bar.

We ran the marathon and celebrated with Mac Piggy and grilled cheese and brisket. It was delicious! A reservation may be needed but the sweet waitresses out front let us sit down.
Always a good spot for dinner and drinks downtown.

The Emerald Loop Bar & Grill is the best Irish pub in Chicago! We had an authentic Irish meal. The manager, Conor, made us feel very welcome and attended to our every need. All the staff were very kind and the food was 10/10 delicious. Would 100% recommend if wanting an authentic Irish experience. A must-see when in Chicago. ☘️☘️ ☘️

A solid pub meal. Not fancy, not the freshest or most innovative, but was exactly as expected and hoped for--tasty food, served piping hot and quickly, and service was fine.
