Visited this bar recently hoping for a good time, but unfortunately was met with a disappointing experience at the bar. The bartender had a noticeably negative attitude and seemed uninterested in providing any kind of friendly service. Requests were met with curt responses, and even basic questions were brushed off or ignored. Instead of making customers feel welcome, the bartender acted as though serving us was a burden, which set an uncomfortable tone for the whole evening. I understand that bartending can be demanding, but basic courtesy and a friendly demeanor are essential parts of the job. Even during busy times, a bartender’s attitude shapes the environment, and in this case, it left us feeling unwelcome and unlikely to return. If management cares about customer experience, they should address this, as guests should never feel dismissed or disrespected by bar staff.

Terrible experience. The staff was rude and acted like I was bothering them just by being there. Zero hospitality, zero respect. Won’t ever return and don’t recommend anyone waste their time here

Very chill environment with a great pool table. Drinks were good. I did not get to try their in-house food but they allow you to bring food in (no food delivered to the bar, you have to pick it up). There is a nice lounge area in the back as well.

We had our wedding party here, which turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. Gina, the owner had excellent communication with us leading up to answer any and all questions quickly. The venue was ready for us when we arrived that night, fully decked out with beautiful decorations and lights they provided, flowers they cut and arranged for us, cake and desserts they displayed, and our own photo booth in the back.
They helped provide a thoughtful itinerary and kept the pace of the entire event. Truly could not have imagined it going any better. We already know a few couples thinking of switching from a more traditional to a bar reception after they attended ours. Would highly recommend this venue.

I came here with a date one night as part of the city's Negroni week. The place is cash-only, which is a bit annoying. Past the bar is a small backyard which is quite chill and has good vibes. Overall, this place was alright.
If I could give Gina and her team 1,000 stars I would! We booked this bar for our wedding reception and there aren't enough words in the world to express how amazing the Emerson team is! Gina was so great at communicating throughout the whole time we were planning. She helps you with the decorations, the cocktail menu, and pretty much any other details you might have missed. Gina is truly a rockstar and I believe she moonlights as a wedding planner because I was so blown away with just how much she is hands-on. If you're looking for a spot to host your next event, formal or not, I highly recommend The Emerson!
