The Emerald - Vancouver, British Columbia

LOVE the 1970’s mid-century modern décor and ambiance here! The drinks were quite tasty and good, however the food was a complete disappointment. We tried the BBQ platter for two and the ribs were nearly inedible and completely burnt. The chicken wings were average and the corn bread was quite ... dense. We added a side of truffle fries which were quite good. This place is better suitable for drinks than dinner. Read more

Came here one evening with a large group of friends and we were sat right away, which was awesome! Drinks and food were both good. Service was a tad slow, but overall pretty good. The carpet lends a certain charm, but is kinda gross at the same time. Overall a ... fun evening. Read more

We love the atmosphere here. Great Cocktails and service. Food is good however would love to see the menu a bit tweaked. We'll be back..... Edit a month later.... Twice we have organized a group of people to go to this lounge on a Friday evening for food and drinks ... only to find it closed to private functions. After all our planning and even expense of parking we had to come up with a plan for our friends to stop heading here. Too unreliable. We WON'T BE BACK. Read more

Hidden gem! Great drinks, huge selection of everything, experienced bar tenders! Good pub type food! Large space! Located in an area that guarantees an interesting experience to remember. Not expected, but highly recommend checking this place out for an over the top experience genuine to Vancouver. The quality and knowledge ... of drinks here is impressive. Walk in the green door and up the stairs, your in the right place. Music selection is top notch! Read more

We chose The Emerald to host our wedding reception because it is a beautiful space that suited our tastes and could accommodate our party size of 80-100. This was a great decision! The owner and staff were such a pleasure to work with, as they accommodated all of our ... needs to customize the night to make it our own. The communication was great. They asked all the right questions to ensure we had exactly what we needed for food and drink, and the night went as planned - all logistics were covered in advance. The owner, Rachel, even let us in at 9:30am Saturday morning to set up as this was the only time that could work for us. The bill was exactly as discussed at the end of the night and there were no surprises. Thank you to The Emerald! Great service from start to finish. Read more
