The Emerson

We had our wedding party here, which turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. Gina, the owner had excellent communication with us leading up to answer any and all questions quickly. The venue was ready for us when we arrived that night, fully decked out with beautiful decorations and lights they provided, flowers they cut and arranged for us, cake and desserts they displayed, and our own photo booth in the back. They helped provide a thoughtful itinerary and kept the pace of the entire event. Truly could not have imagined it going any better. We already know a few couples thinking of switching from a more traditional to a bar reception after they attended ours. Would highly recommend this venue.

Really interesting night. As me and my girl friends entered to celebrate, we only had one friend who had cash so she was making sure we all got our drinks then sat down at a table to save for us. I was last to order and a customer complained to the bartender loudly that my friends didn’t tip- I don’t think he realized that only one friend had cash and we wanted to take care of that first.. nonetheless, I tipped, and the bartender told the customer tips were just appreciated not necessary. After I went to sit, I then heard more customers talking badly about us to the bartender, in which he started to agree. We started having people give us dirty looks from the bar (all men.) we were, at this point, talking lowly so we didn’t get any attention as we felt extreme discomfort and fear as a group of young girls, and confusion- because they were going to leave the tip when we dropped our drinks off to leave. We left to leave early due to this weird atmosphere. My friends had cash in their hands to hand over to the bartender until he decided it would be appropriate to call all of our attention to basically scold us that we need to tip him at least $1 even if they ordered canned drinks (whi

Great vibes and good lighting. Seems like a great date spot. Huge backyard with delicious burgers in the back and this place has one of the best pool tables I’ve played on in Brooklyn. The staff is really kind too 💯

Great neighborhood bar. A quintessential example of Brooklyn life. Locals and travelers a like will enjoy this place. There is plenty of space for chatting with friends or small tables for an intimate date
