The games were junk, the drinks were junk. I wouldnt waste your time.

Denied entry to someone over 21 because they thought her ID was fake but couldn't prove it. She runs a bar in town so that's just a tad embarrassing for them.

The bouncers here are awful and have no idea how to actually check an ID. I’m 29 and a bartender myself. I went in there 3/22 and the bouncers denied me access to the bar because “the background on the ID wasn’t the right color”. My ID is 4 years old and faded. They didn’t know any other way to check the validity of the ID other than looking at the background color of the picture? Terrible. I offered other forms of proof and was denied and told to leave. Until this bar gets better bouncers it’ll be one star reviews from here on out.

They should learn the legal way to check for fake IDs instead of denying entry for someone well over age.

These door men can’t tell a real ID from a Fake ID. My friend wasnt aloud in cause they CLAIMED her ID was fakedShe’s 29.Get real buddy.

They need new bouncers that can actually check IDs correctly. Me and my friends come here frequently and tonight (Friday 22nd) one of my friends got denied because they said her ID is fake… she’s 29 yrs old and it’s obviously a real ID & anyone that could properly check, would know. Not only did they deny us, but they were rude and called us names as we were walking out.

I was invited to a 21st birthday party and glad I didn't throw the invitation in the garbage. I had never been to Emporium but this location had it all - pinball machines, classic arcade games (I held the high score in pac man for the night), air hockey, and so much more.The service at the bar is phenomenal. It was a packed night but the bartender kept helping out my group in no time at all. You are allowed to reserve a table (which we did) and you can order out and bring outside food which was a huge plus. There was also a DJ the night I attended and he was playing hit after hit.The crowd was early 20s to early 30s and it never seemed like it was too crowded...just be weary of where you park in this location.

Didn’t try the food but the drinks were good and not overly priced. Great music and a decent size dance floor. Not to mention they have a Photo Booth and tons of games. My favorite is the foosball and the 1v1 basketball arcade game.
