Fun cocktail bar and a perfect spot for a pre-dinner drink (dinner was across the street at the Roosevelt). Had THE BEST piña colada and the bar staff were extremely friendly and kind. 10/10 would return.

Emerald Lounge is THE spot in Church Hill. With its regularly changing menu, you can visit again and again and always get the chance to try something new. I can't speak more highly about this place. They also have an amazing happy hour, so check that out too.

Absolutely incredible. I wrongfully believed the food would be mid-tier as they seem to be primarily focused on drinks here. However, the pork belly tacos had me swaying like a little kid. The Mellow Monkey is great if you love banana. Can’t recommend this place enough!

A great cocktail lounge. Great service and inventive, delicious cocktails.

Amazing staff and the drinks are super creative. Food is pretty good, but definitely more of a place to go for drinks. My husband and I visit frequently.

It was pretty good, only paid $10 for a drink, service was OK for the night, they were quite busy so I give them a pass, other than that the drinks were good, the atmosphere was amazing and laid-back, overall a fun time

Unfortunately we, party of two, didn’t get to experience the atmosphere or drink/food. The hostess told us that there was a 45min wait, although the bar had empty multiple empty seats and a free table with no people waiting.

For the time we were going to wait, we wanted to order a drink, upon trying to order the bartender refused to make us drinks if we don’t have a seats. We walked back to the entrance and wanted to wait there when an employee walked up and told us in a not very friendly manner that we have to wait outside or walk around the neighborhood at 7.30pm on a windy 48F Saturday evening until we get notification that the seats are ready (three seats at the bar and table were still free).

Upon the last interaction we decided to take our business to a different bar. This would have been my first visit to The Emerald Lounge, I definitely won’t go back and can’t not recommend the establishment to anyone. The unfriendly, unwelcoming treatment of customers shows that they clearly don’t need more patrons.

The food and drinks were good. The service was terrible and pretty much downright offensive. All three guys working were rude, short, passive aggressive, and gaslighted us when we asked for simple requests. We felt completely unwelcome and considered leaving after the first few interactions with the staff. As previous hospitality workers, we tried to give them the benefit of the doubt, but with each interaction the treatment got worse.

Visiting VA & was trying to find a nice chill bar to have drinks. We ended up here—atmosphere is very dim/jungle themed, played alternative/disco music at a moderate volume, drinks were also great as well as the service! We had the Espresso Martini and Mental Gymnastics. I highly recommend if you are trying to find a hidden gem bar. Parking can be hard to find but we found street parking and walked over to the bar.
