The Emerald Lounge - Richm

Gorgeous and intimate cocktail bar with great music and beautifully crafted drinks. Each one comes in a unique cup, and the presentation is incredible! Menu is really fun, with pictures of the drinks and a booz-ometer. Really special spot.

What a fabulous place! It's exactly what a sophisticated, themed cocktail bar should be. The decor is moody, festive, and fun. The cocktails were pitch-perfect. Just go.

Will update if I ever go back but I doubt it Was really looking forward to trying this place out when I finally had the chance 6/29 it was a terrible experience there were two tables available but the server said it would be about a 30 minute wait there was no line also at the bar there were two chairs available server also said they were being saved for somebody the people who looked to be saving them had empty plates and drinks in front of them so I'm not sure what that was about the atmosphere was great the restaurant amazing but service was terrible looking at reviews they wait time and service seems to be a issue that yet has been addressed

Overall The Emerald Lounge was on its way to being a vibe. And the happy hour is totally a move. The place had a pretty decent tiki atmosphere but was missing a few key elements. Atmosphere would be a 5 star if they had some dried palm leaves at the bar and gave a little more effort the black painted ceiling. Would recommend getting the drink of the week, that slapped, but the rum old fashioned took me back to getting my mouth washed out after saying a few bad words at grandmas, so I would steer clear.

Gorgeous cocktail bar!! Love the ambiance, decor. We tried the Dead Reckoning Blue Hawaii and both were delicious! Pleasantly surprised by the aquarium and intimate seating. Just Beautiful. Certainly will be back with more friends!
