Menu
As soon as we have a menu for Emerald Isle from Chicago, we will publish it here. In the meantime, feel free to check out the menus in the surrounding area.
Emerald Isle offers a mixed experience, oscillating between charm and chaos. While many appreciate its excellent drink selection, live music, and favorable food reviews, customer service issues often detract from the visit. Reports of rude staff interactions and inconsistent age verification practices have left some patrons disgruntled. Despite these challenges, the ambiance, particularly on weekends, draws in a diverse crowd looking to unwind. The venue's outdoor space is a highlight, allowing guests to enjoy music and company. Overall, while the restaurant has the potential to shine, improvements in service and communication are essential for a better guest experience.

What Kent Blomqvist dislikes about Emerald Isle:
Bouncer did not let my friend and me in and said our IDs were fake (even if we are both 23-24). But I saw people I KNOW in there under 21 years. Get someone who can actually say the difference! View all feedback.
I visited Emerald Isle, located in a charming part of Edison Park known for its variety of restaurants and pubs. A friend of mine was performing in Nashville, so I wanted to...
On Saturdays, there's some great music playing in the parking lot and on the street. Bring a drink and relax while enjoying the tunes, or feel free to head out to the street for more atmosphere!
I went in at 11pm on my 21st birthday and before me and my 21+ friends could say anything the bartender said and i quote i 'm not dealing with this s get the f out we 're closed . We were all very confused because this bar closes at 2 am so we tried to show the bartender we were in fact 21 and he would not look us in the face, all he said was get the f out . While we were googling somewhere else to go he forcfully pushed us all out. I especially was very upset because we just wanted to order one drink for my 21st birthday and all the workers were very disrespectful and rude. ALSO FOR ALL COPS READING THIS, ALL UNDERAGE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN THE NORTHWEST SIDE GO TO THIS BAR EVERYDAY TO DRINK AND ARE NEVER QUESTIONED, so maybe this place should focus on training their staff to be nice people or fire the ones who let underage teens in without question.
It was quite noisy due to an event, but watching the Enjoyable Band was fantastic. The food was also quite good.
