Emerald Lounge

“I have spent SEVERAL special occasions at the Emerald Lounge (NYE, birthdays, anniversaries, celebrating new jobs, I was there the day DT got "shot") and every time it is perfection. The staff are engaging, caring, and knowledgeable. The food is consistently amazing. The decor is exactly what I want my house to look like. Also, one of the only places in town that makes a proper whiskey sour. Go check it out!”

“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.”

“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 drinks, good desserts, amazing service. Had a delightful seasonal old fashioned and the seasonal hot drink (has almost a mulled cider taste, but has nothing apple related I was both confused and delighted). The creme brulee was decent. The seasonal drinks are based on what the bartenders think will be good and aren't necessarily repeats so if it looks good get it before it's gone. The bartenders are as you would hope conversational and friendly.”

“Highly recommend the Anne with an “E” cocktail if you’re a gin fan! Definitely a tight squeeze and was a bit pricey for the portions but everything tasted great.”
