"Emerald Lounge is such a vibe. The space is gorgeous, the staff are friendly, and the cocktails are some of the best in St. Paul. This place is creative, balanced, and just plain fun. Their happy hour is definitely worth planning around. I’d recommend making a reservation or getting there early because it fills up fast (and for good reason). The perfect spot for date night, drinks with friends, or a classy start to the evening."

"Emerald lounge is a vibe. The ambiance is retro cozy and chill. Serving is great, servers are easy to tip! Food is small plate style but everything is delicious. The drink menu is unique! My fav is the Penicillin, smoky tequila with lime and a few other ingredients…delicious!!!"

"This was such a delight to or taste buds. Small but mighty menu that packs a lunch. The mussels, wedge, bean spread and pumpkin rigatoni were absolutely phenomenal. Highly recommend this place!"

"Great cocktails, beautiful ambience and awesome music. I had an amazing time at Emerald. The service was great and the cocktail options were fun and delicious. I even got to try a Dealer’s choice as I saw a bottle of an aperitivo that I like and the bar whipped up a fabulous cocktail with it. Highly recommend this place and would strongly recommend to make a reservation."

"This must be one of the best dishwashing gigs in all of the food service industry, because I lick every plate clean. Food is perfection. Hospitality is excellent. The food is so good, I thought I might be on drugs. Would recommend, but don’t tell too many people. We love that we can get a table any night."
