Came here on whim because I was looking for a local bar near me in Queens Village that had a pool table. My boyfriend and I were happy to find a place on a Sunday that closes late. This place is not fancy but it's a good neighborhood spot I think. First the service, the bartender Mia was nice and attentive. She can make a mean cocktail. I would come back just to try those honestly. I ordered a lemon drop and it was good. Second the prices. Listen I don't think you can beat those prices. Beer is around $5 Cocktails from $8-10 and a personal pizza (the only food offered) is $8. Pool is $1 just make sure you have quarters or the bartender can make change for you. The pizzas were decent. You definitely can split between 2 people. Wish they offered more food options though. Come here if you just needs a spot for cheap good drinks and to chat with friends. Very laid back. read more

A friendly local neighborhood Irish pub in queens that keeps it simple and old school which I prefer..Good place to grab a few drinks , watch sports and hit some pool balls while the darts are hitting the board .Old school interior that's heavy on wood and lite on the chill vibe . While cuz is sitting at the bar taking to his boys , I am across the bar at my own table watching the Yankees and met game while the world cup is on most of the giant screens . Prices for booze is reasonable and I ain't sure if they serve food as I didn't notice any at the bar or the tables . A cool relaxing pub to get your drink on and watch sports without the noise or frat atmosphere. 4 stars on my yelp meter. read more

I was visiting the old neighborhood as I usually do once a year and staying at the hotel next door when I learned the wifi wasn't working for hours and I needed to get some work done. So I wondered out and popped into Emerald Pub. Luckily for me they offered free wifi and started working with a pint of Guinness. The sweetest bartender anyone can ask for named Mia was an absolute doll. She made me feel like I was one of her regulars right out of the gate. Warm, approachable and unassuming. The overall vibe is pretty chill. Reconnected with the owner after 26 years! I came back every day for drinks before I left.Too bad it was only 4 days. Can't wait until next time! read more

Went there while in town for a few days. The bartenders were nice as can be and the place has a great dive bar vibe.

Sorry to anyone that sees that there's a dj or live music it's very rare there but everything else is ok

My boyfriend and I asked for these two specific cocktails and the bartender Camy did a great job making them. She had an awesome personality and made our visit fun! read more

We enjoyed spending a few nights at the local dive bar, which was conveniently located right next to the Courtyard Marriott Hotel in Queens. We were very much entertained by their local bartender, Christina, while we were there. She made us laugh with her crazy antics throughout the evening, which brought us back the second night that she was there. An evening of cheap, well-poured drinks and good conversation with Christina made for a great way to end a few of our long working days out there in New York better. read more

Great local place with great drinks. Eileen took great care of us,. My Cosmo was delicious! People were friendly and the the pool table was open! They also have a dart board. This place is a staple in the neighborhood, We'll definitely stop back in! read more

So-so. Not much interesting so far as I could feel.Nice bartender (Kat), but largely unimpressed by the place. Seemingly as much so-called 'security' as there were patrons in the place. A Friday night where I had a beer, and left. read more

My husband and I decided to stop in here for a drink when staying next door in the Marriott. The drinks were great prices and we had a nice time sitting outside under the umbrella. The redheaded bartender was very sweet and she is a student at St John's like our son. She took our temperatures and was very sanitary, especially when she cooked. The chicken nuggets were so good! Although I must say the inside could use renovations, but I would come back. read more

Very nice, friendly neighborhood bar with a pool table and darts. Nice drinks, nice bartenders and a nice pint of Guinness. .

Walked in and met Cat the bartender, awesome personality! Great environment and very cool place

Cristina is worth it. She's a total fucking banana but I loved every minute. If you are staying at the hotel next door and you don't go in you are a beta and deserve not to have fun before your flight in the morning. That concludes this review. read more

This place is super chill. Great vibe and Kat is the best for sure . I'm just staying at the hotel next door but this little pub is really fun! read more

Are you kidding me? Mike. Seriously you need to cherish your gold mine. Your ladies make your place the extraordinary place it is. Christina is a gold mine. Embrace her. Rude and crude? She's a gold nugget! Your ladies make that place. If ya can't handle the heat, go the hell home. I will always return! read more

Cat is a superior bar keeper and conversationalist. I won't drink anywhere else! Looking forward to coming back! read more

This place is cool. Fun staff and easy atmosphere. Prices are not insane. Definitely will be back soon.

It's definitely interesting to go there when staying at the hotel next door. Cheap drinks and a very eclectic lclientele. I try not to stay there too late when I have to walk back to the hotel by myself. read more

Good little spot with friendly people. Come for the drinks and play some darts. Only right next door to the hotels.

Went here when I was in the mood for a local dive and not in the mood to travel far. The vibe here is super casual and you can tell it is mostly regulars that make up the patrons. Drinks are cheap and average tasting. I like that they have a dart board to pass the time: a nice touch if you are not one satisfied by just "sitting" at the bar. My experience here overall, was pretty good. I had ordered an Irish coffee, and the bartender said they did not really do that here, but she would try. She tried, I tasted, and it was not bad! I had a good conversation with another local and played a few good games of darts. After a couple of hours here, I was tipsy, happy, and able to walk back safely home. I would definitely comeback here if I was ever not up to traveling to Bell. The best part about this place is that Bagel Oasis is across the street. So after drinking, you can get a great sandwhich to soak up all the liquor! read more

I felt like I was in my homeland! Irish Pub, gorgeous Irish Bartender, and a great pint of Guinness! I'm originally from Cavan, Ireland now living in queens. I came to this pub with with my brother staying at the hotel. We came in on a Friday night after touring the city. I hope this place never changes, this place is great! Will be back soon! read more

Christina is an awesome bartender with an awesome personality! Love how close this bar was to my hotel. Great ambiance. 10/10 totally recommend read more

This is defiantly a nice little dive bar. Lots of locals and guys coming off of work come here to kick back and have some drinks. The bartenders here are usually very friendly. The owners here are great, always nice to talk to. They have events here sometimes and have lots of tvs! They have a jukebox and lots of music to choose from! They get all different types of crowds as well. They have many alcoholic choices, lots of seating and a pool table. read more

This place is seedy and it smells like urine. Drinks taste off, like no name brands have been poured into old top shelf bottles. Patrons here steal, do not leave money on the bar! If you are depressed and wanna hit skid row, then this is the place to be. read more

I've been coming here for quite a few years, never have I met a better bartender than the one that works Monday Tuesday and Thursday

Went there first time, with friend who has been there. Bar Server Christina, fast, funny, she should be part owner, she gives multi tasking a new definition. Had chips for customers, nice I was hungry, then mozzarella sticks came out soon after a frequent customer I just met was talking about "Their mozzarella sticks awesome " Well I am not sure who paid for them, I tried them, YES they were AWESOME, like they must have a secret place they get them. Queens my grow up place, just where I needed to be. Esmeralda, Floral Park. Gov Cuomo, Mayor De Blasio need to try their Mozzarella sticks, they may have an awareness of what places like this need to stay in business. Customers friendly, like I felt at home, "Saying hi, I am, telling me their name, asking me mine" well something I haven't experienced in awhile, friendly, people with manners. Other peoples's reviews said "The place was disgusting ! Their bathroom is meticulous clean if you know what that is !! read more

So you've been hanging out at bars in Manhattan or Brooklyn, which means you've been competing with European tourists for the attention of bartenders who moved here from the Midwest a year or so ago after finishing their Liberal Arts degree. Maybe it's time to check out The Emerald Pub instead. This is a dive bar in the best possible way. read more

Use to come here because we had a great friend that worked here. Been back only a few times since she quit. The staff was always friendly here. Parking was never an issue, but be aware of the drug addicts. Also cops are known to frequent this place because of did activity in the neighborhood. read more

This bar is trash I sat here for less than ten minutes had a beer which was less than ten dollars didn't have a word with the bartender just watched some tv the place was so dead here gives off a horrible vibe. I gave bartender $20 to pay for my drink and didn't give me back any change. I didn't want to ask for it but i will never be coming back here again... read more

Amazing bar its were me and my fiance hung out again. Then he proposed to me months down the line. The owner is a very nice guy gave a free shots for me and my fiance with our group of people read more

I think this will be an atypical review of the place since I don't think I saw it on a typical weekend night. However, here we were--my partners and I--coming back from a trip to Vietnam that was wine-dry and tiring. We landed at 11pm and settled into the hotel by midnight....but we were jetlagged and ready to go. I mean, it's noon somewhere and day-drinking is a thing--except it's more acceptable now that it's midnight in the states. Well, one of my partners found this pub within walking distance from our hotel, and we decided to venture out. I mean, would I normally like this place? Probably. I love me a good dive bar with a quality dart board and pool table. I also love the late-night spinach pizza that they were serving up. However, it was our bartender that made it awesome. She cleared us three spots at the bar, turned us onto some cheesy goodness, and poured much-needed glasses of wine. This was a good welcome home, and this place is gonna have a soft spot in my heart. read more

Horrible! The bartender doesn't give you change and overcharges you for drinks depending on her mood! The regular price for a cocktail is $10, the short haired bartender charged me $17 and didn't give me my change on multiple occasions! Same thing happened to my boyfriend. I don't know if she's racist or what but avoid this bar at all costs unless you want to get ripped off! read more

The worst bar you could ever go or recommend anyone to go to!!! The alcohol is putrid!! Bugs in the liquor bottles, not to mention how old the alcohol is! The beer in the tap is so disgusting!! Beware the alcohol, you can get alcohol poisoning from the dirty alcohol that is served! The waitresses, including Christina, set their own prices on drinks; including their own tip, overcharging anyone who orders from the bar!! Christina spilled my drink and was going to charge me for another one because of how drugged out she was! Oh not to mention, the place gets raided by police on more than one occasion, and many times on the same night. Drugs are always on the premises, and underage kids go and drink there all the time!! The bartenders do not I.d. Anyone; so they basically let anyone in to drink. There are always fights and they window in the front of the establishment has always been broken shattered, to where they had to get a plastic window and not to mention, see through!!! You notice a lot when your not enjoying the place you attend. I wouldn't recommend this bar to Anyone!! read more

This place sucks. The bartender was super drunk and rude. Have no social skills, doesn't greet new customers. Was acting like a straight buffoon. Place is good if you want a quick drink and leave. Was attempting to go and get to know some locals since I moved in the area but the bartender is not professional at all. Place needs to be on the show bar rescue ASAP. read more

Very cute dive bar it has a mixed crowd the night I arrived . It was nice to see a DJ who was really nice bartender was cute and held her own .parking wasn't bad either read more

It's a neighborhood bar and a place to get a drink for the folks staying at the two hotels right next to it. I'm in the later group. The place is old, but clean. The barmaid there, when I was there was very cool. The prices were reasonable and well, I just loved the atmosphere. My kind of dive bar. Don't go here to eat; go here to drink and find a new friend. read more

I love going to Pat's Emerald Bar. Larry the owner is great, he'll always join you for a drink, and Tommy, his son, is just as good. The place isn't around other bars, but it is worth it just to go here for a comfortable few drinks. read more
