I haven't stepped foot in this place in years (kinda surprised I didn't have a review on this place already). However, after having friend suggest this spot I was like... OH YES, LET'S!! It still has a super chill vibe, pool & ping pong. Love the booths on the side for a more intimate chill out area. Or just sit at the bar and chat it up with Kevin the bartender, makes great cocktails and is such a cool dude. He offered me a chicken tender cause I was starving...LOL! Now that's full service bartending. LOL! So why 4 stars and not 5...well they're cash only. Like who carries cash?? Okay okay..I know people do but I don't and I never remember to go to the bank beforehand b/c I dont like using random atm's.Thank goodness for great friends who say I got you tonight... LOL! Overall a great spot. I'll be back the next time... with cash... LOL!

My friends and I just had an incredibly mind-boggling experience at the Emerson bar tonight…read more We had gone to the bar to celebrate the end of the school year, and had ordered a couple drinks (beers and cans) for the night. Because we were paying in cash, we were a bit disorganized and had planned to tip at the end of the night before leaving. However, the service we experienced throughout our stay was truly an overall uncomfortable and negative experience. One of the people in our group was left standing at the bar, ignored by the bartender for an extended period of time. While she was waiting, she overheard another customer speaking negatively about our group, with the bartender dismissing it us being "students". Later, continuously throughout the night, our friend would overhear the bartender and customers make negative comments about our group and the other student customers, but we dismissed it as we thought we were overthinking the matter. When we were preparing to leave, we cleaned up the table and brought our glasses to the bar, thanking the bartender for the drinks, with tips in hands. As we were about to leave, the bartender calls for the attention of everyone in the bar, announcing that "before everyone leaves, i'd like to say something. now that you are all of drinking age, you guys should be aware of the fact that it's customary to tip when ordering a drink". Needless to say, none of us gave the tips (literally in our hands) to him after that announcement. Afterwards, we discovered he had made several comments to individuals in our group, such as "you should really tell your friends to tip next time", or made other people feel intimidated to provide a tip. I have been to this bar numerous times with friends before, and have usually had a pleasant experience with the other bartenders, and have always left a tip. From the beginning to the very end, the bartender and other customers at the bar have made the atmosphere and experience incredibly uncomfortable for our group. The bartender was a younger white man, with lighter /ginger color hair and facial hair. I have never received such a negative service from a bar before, and needless to say, the service was definitely not worth tipping. I do not recommend coming to this bar, and encourage instead to look for other places in the area if you are planning to come with a group.

Dope karaoke on Mondays. Solid security that doesn't harass women. Probably the cheapest prices in the Myrtle area. Extremely gay friendly. And the food is fire.

But I would like to avoid it becoming just-another-gay-bar. And as it is right now, it's definitely not that. There's seemingly always something going on, as mentioned above. I would recommend checking their Instagram to see what to expect on any given night. But even if you're not coming for a particular reason, the drink specials are great, and the fact that you can get a little snack is great. I definitely appreciate being able to grab some pita chips and hummus while drinking, rather than stumbling out and making poor burrito-related decisions after the fact (ok maybe that still happens, but the point stands). The best part, at least for now- it's really never too crowded. Some nights have big turnouts, and it can feel like a hot-spot for an hour or two on a Friday or Saturday night, but most nights it just feels like that neighborhood hole-in-the-wall gay bar I've always wanted.

My next move was a wine since I just wanted to stay longer and chat with the bar crew. It really got popping after 10 and there are a few great places to head to afterwards.
