    Really nice spot! Great friendly service, wonderful decor, friendly atmosphere. I consider myself a bit of a connoisseur of dive bars, and this is a very nice one. I highly recommend it, go and enjoy!

    PROS: This place was very lit. The target market here would be heavy metal, punk, emo people. If you aren't one of them, it's not a good place for you. They have decorations, a juke box, game tables, and they serve food late. Staff is semi nice and it even has a good amount of bathrooms CONS: The food takes 9 years to come out and the place doesn't have a website so it's tough to figure out what they have on the menu food and drink wise OVERALL: Great place to come and hang out if you're apart of that type of crowd.

    Great little bar with yummy bar food and fun games to play. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Drinks were fast and good. Exactly what I needed. Will be back!

    Wow, check out this decor! Can't believe there's not a line waiting to get in.

    This bar aims for a Hot Topic-Esque Vibe. The crowd consists of a very peculiar crowd that basks in the glow of Primus and AFI of years past. The bartender Blair with huge boobs was awesome though. Full of energy and perky until I asked her if there was a military special. She proceeded to lose all interest and walked away. Sad face.

    Bar, decor

    This is easily my favorite bar. The bartenders make solid drinks, the vibe is weird and cool and the food is good! Definitely my first choice of where to unwind on my own or to get together with friends!

    Went here for my 21st birthday (2014). I've been back a few times since then and always managed to have a good time.

    Great Dive bar. Good draft selection. Decent pizza for late night snack. Check this place out.

    Emerald Corner is your classic neighborhood bar--nothing fancy, just good vibes, solid food, and…read morebartenders who keep things moving. It's the kind of low-key spot where you can grab a drink, watch a game, and feel like a regular even if it's your first visit. The vibe is relaxed and a little old-school, with sports on TV, a jukebox playing in the background, and a small but lively crowd. It's the perfect place to unwind after work or hang out with friends The food here is way better than you'd expect from a dive bar. The burger-and-wing combo--juicy, flavorful, and a ton of food for the price. Wings come in a bunch of flavors (the hot buffalo and teriyaki are standouts), and the portions are generous. The bartenders are friendly, fast, and totally on top of things. Overall, Emerald Corner nails the dive bar formula: chill atmosphere, great service, and food that hits the spot without killing your wallet. Try the burger and wings combo--it's one of the best deals around. You won't regret!

    I had this place on my "wings are good, try this out" list. The short answer is: wings are good,…read morebut not enough to pull you away to try them. The long answer: You have two choices with Emerald Corner. Take out orders of food to go, which I saw people do, or come to your local neighborhood dive bar. I do not recommend coming here to eat. For at least two reasons: 1. Much longer wait for food than I am used to at a bar. 2. VERY LOUD music playing constantly and people yelling over it. And then they turned on the TV even louder over the music! Headache city. One star for ambiance - if you like dive bars. If you don't, zero stars. Service is friendly enough but no one checked on me after handing me my beer (which was also a few minutes after I ordered) or let me know the food was coming. No one offered water or anything, but at least with the rings he offered to bring honey mustard. After all that, the food: Fried. Fried city. The wings are breaded and cooked hard, so they were perhaps the crispiest I've ever eaten. They were good wings, got 11 to my 1 lb order (typically 10), but overbreaded. And the hottest sauce (hot buffalo) barely registered on my palate. The rings were also fairly heavily breaded, but you get a good portion for your money on that as well. In the end, as much as I don't like going to Sharky's, I don't think anything will unseat them as the wings capital of NJ. And with one right near here in Clifton, if I really really need wings, that's the place to go.

    it's great close to both the subway and MTA and open till 4 it is nice if you are like me and don't…read morehave anywhere to go really. I know a few of the bartenders by name and even the ones I don't are still really nice and chill. its nice that there is a place I can go where I actually like the music they play and while sometimes spots might be on id say it's more of a dive bar then a sports bar might not be for everyone but I really like not having to care about sports in a bar. I have anxiety out the ass about everything ordering drinks included and I hate bothering people. 99.9% of the time If you give me the wrong order or mishear me I wont say anything. i have a certain drink order i like its very simple and every bar has all the ingredients but outside of the names I've given the drink myself there is no official name for it and there is one bartender there that makes it for me everytime I'm there and I don't even Have to tell him He just remembers even if it's been a while its just really you don't always get that and its really nice. I keep to myself and always go out alone when I do I find the customers that go there can be really chill the possibility of socializing i feel is way more likely at Strangelove then other Bars Ive been to in the area. it's definitely a vide that might not fit some people but personally I kinda like that even more and the drinks are simple and cheap another thing I really like.

    Cool little punk rock dive bar on midtown on the east side. Great music and the friendly bartender…read moreplayed a mix of 80's metal and old school punk the night I was there. Terrific drink and shot specials which won't break the bank. Dim lighting, graffiti on all the walls, plenty of seating in it's narrow space, along with a chill non-pretentious vibe. Just a cool cheapo grungy dive bar you normally don't find up in this part of town. My type of joint.
