by Stephanie Y. on I only really come here for happy hours on Friday. $5 cocktails and it's RIGHT across from work. Can't really beat that, especially on a hot summer day and you're waiting for that second hand to hit 5 o'clock. You know you already have your stuff gathered and with 1 fell swoop, you've locked your computer. You seat yourself, so no waiting is a plus and a waitress comes over, you just pick a color on the rainbow. Since I'm Asian, it tastes strong enough for me, especially since I start glowing after 1, but I will get a second. Enjoying the drinks while chatting with coworkers. Yes, the seats aren't very uncomfortable. Sometimes I'll order Pod's famous lobster roll to go. It's my fave. Food in general isn't bad, but a bit overpriced. Dang, it's only Wednesday. 2 more days ....
by Shemika Levesque on $25 cover?! SERIOUSLY? I hate paying cover - would I say cielo was worth it? Sort of - DJ was great, and my friend managed to score some drinks at that bar, which made me feel a tiny tiny bit better (ok, a whole lot better). The space is much smaller than I expected though....honestly, if it weren't for the dj and the fantastic sound system, cielo is not really worth the cover charge. should be 3.5 stars - woman working as the cashier at the door has serious attitude issues and reminds me of a cat lady..call me shallow, but old cat ladies should not be working late nights at hot clubs. totally -1 star. And watch out for the AUTOMATIC 20% gratuity included when buying drinks.....
by Gerry Nwakanma on I have been a fan of Emerald since....2004/5....my god time flies. I think this place is awesome. Clearly this is not like a nightclub of sorts. Its a good ol fashion bar...very much pub-like, but they redid the place i guess a year back, and it just got better for me. I think the staff is way cool. If you treat them with respect, you get it back....thats to say for anywhere I think. Veronica is my girl. You can't ever go wrong with her. Weekends get crowded. Thats because its really good. But you can also walk in during the day or happy hour just to relax with a drink. I honestly don't know what else to tell ya...its just good.
