Hip Irish bar in the loop downtown Chicago. Busy, relaxed vibe with a good selection of Irish, Scottish and other whiskies along with a properly served (and great tasting) Guinness. …

We ran the marathon and celebrated with Mac Piggy and grilled cheese and brisket. It was delicious! A reservation may be needed but the sweet waitresses out front let us sit down.

Nice place with good service and friendly staff. I liked the beer and the nachos—they were really good. But I didn’t enjoy the burger. I ordered it medium, but it came well done and was very dry. That was a bit disappointing.
Still, it’s a nice spot to hang out, maybe just not the best for burgers.

I got the brisket grilled cheese. It would have been better as just a grilled cheese. Chicago needs to stick to pizza and dogs and leave the brisket to south. But their apple tart is one of the best things I've had in Chicago.

Whatever you do, make sure you get the spice bag! This dish has no business being on the list of starters, it is 100% a finisher. End your night at the loop with a few pints and a spice bag. Great atmosphere, the perfect place to pop in, get a break from the cold, and enjoy a strong drink & good food.

This is a big Irish pub, great for big crowds, office and social events. The food was really good. We got the Shawarma bowl🥗, Emerald burger 🍔🍟and obviously the Shepherd’s pie🥧 but the best thing we shared was the Cheese curds. Lovely place for a warm evening meal. …

Stopped by Emerald Loop Bar & Grill and loved the lively Irish pub vibe! The green beer, Irish curry fries, and curried clam and potato chowder were fantastic, the Guinness pour was perfect, and the staff made the experience warm and welcoming.
