Wow! I've been on a mission to go to all of the places that make good burgers per reviews that I have read and so I was expecting a good burger at Emerald Inn since I read that they make good burgers. However, when I bit into the burger - cheeseburger to be exact with American cheese - sitting at the bar, I was overjoyed. I have had good burgers but this medium cooked patty was juicy and tasty. I could not help but smile. Vibe was great, friendly, attentive but not overbearing staff. I had no intentions of drinking beer but had 3 Guinness Stouts on draught. Wow wow wow!!! Can't wait to go back. Such a great place to go in and have good food, enjoy great ambiance, and friendly folk ambling about talking sports or theater or anything else by turns. A gem in NYC! 10 of 5 stars

A true gem of the upper west side with the friendliest and most supportive staff; I lost my engagement ring and they helped me with the mission to find it and I will forever be grateful for the support!

Excellent inconspicuous hideaway with high quality wholesale food and drinks. As well as Irish bartenders and authentic homely feel. Shepherds pie and cold Narragansett are amongst best in City.

A classic New York Irish pub. Family owned for 4 generations. My Dad was a regular here (when it was on Columbus) when he was with FDNY. Maura is the best bartender. Been coming here for years, love it.

Emerald Inn is my favorite Irish Pub on the Upper West Side. We have been visiting here since they were in their first location on Columbus Avenue. It has now been over 10 years since they moved to the current location. The food has always been solid, and the service at the bar has never been anything short of fantastic! I couldn't recommend Emerald Inn highly enough if you're looking for a nice Irish Pub on the UWS.
GREAT spot. Good fries, beer, and a pool table.
