“Nice lil pub and has good drinks. They also have pool which was really fun and they allowed us to play for free. My only disappointment was the rush to order drinks, my friends and I like to take things slow and were hoping to at least start our game before visiting the bar but the lady came up to us asking if we were going to order something which kind of felt weird.. I would’ve spent a longer time and ordered more than one drink if she didn’t approach us like that. The atmosphere aside from that was really nice, very calm and cozy & like I said drinks were priced fair & were good. So overall a solid place!”

Our server had way too many tables in her section. She was very rushed, but also had people around helping fill our drinks so kind of made up for it. We will be going back for the steak and lobster very soon.”

“We thoroughly enjoyed having our wedding reception at The Emerald Green. The new event coordinator, Dani, is truly fantastic. She is very familiar with event hosting and has a solid understanding of the wedding industry. It was a pleasure to work with Dani for her reliable communication, attention to detail, and professional coordination of vendors and reception timeline. Dani respected our floor plan design so the seating arrangement was exactly what we envisioned for our wedding. There was ample seating and space for our DJ, photo booth, dessert table and a gifts table. Our guests especially loved the food and the open bar. Overall, we were pleased with the entire server staff of The Emerald Green. If you are interested in a beautiful venue to host your next event, we recommend this!”

“A nightclub in the middle of Harvey. And...it...was....bumpin!!!! On a Thursday!!! Just wow!!! The bar inside is fairly small but well appointed. Since it s summer? They had 3 huge tents...and a great sou d system. It was not only loud? But clear. You could hear the music clearly and the lyrics were clearly discernable from several blocks out. Wow Smittys!!! You are winning!!! The security was also excellent. With the sidewalks all blocked off......with horses and tape and rope. Done well. Bumpin in Harvey!!! If u want a black owned nightclub? With great music? Atmosphere? Vibe? With young AND grown people? You ve found it!!!! I only gave the food the rating I did because I didn't have any. When I do? I ll add to the review. But? DO GO!!!! On Thursdays!!! You ll b happy you did!!!!”

“Great pizza, but dropped the ball with service on recent visit. This is one of our favorite places for pizza in the area, and we go there regularly. The food is always good, but today, we sat there for over 20 minutes without a single person stopping by to offer us water, offer to take our drink order or even just acknowledge our being there. It wasn’t even especially busy - most tables were empty. We gave up and went somewhere else.”

Maria led the class and clearly knows her stuff; she made the whole experience both educational and fun. The food was fantastic, we learned so much about tequila and agave, and I even made some new friends along the way. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for something a little different for a night out.”

“Enjoying a smooth and memorable time at a great bar in Hyde Park 🍸✨ The atmosphere is on point, the bartenders are truly skilled and welcoming 👏, and the crowd is just as good—friendly and full of good energy 😄. Sipping on a Henry Clay War Hawk cigar makes the experience even better 🔥💨 honestly, it pairs perfectly with the vibe of the place. If you’re a cigar lover and haven’t tried a WarHawk yet, you’re seriously missing out 😎💯 even Santa might be wondering why you haven’t lit one up yet 🎅🔥”
