Been there multiple times. The management is top notch,the service as well. The best bar/slot place I've ever been too. So accommodating, they go above and beyond to make you feel just at home.if in the area I don't know why you wouldn't stop in to this neighborhood

Well, this turned out to be a very disappointing experience. So much so, that we won't be returning...ever. First, we walk in and take a seat at the bar. Wait about a minute for the person behind the bar to say something useful, like, "Would you like to see our wine list?" He says nothing, so I ask to see the wine list instead. He then points to the wall behind him where a number of bottles were hanging and says "This is our wine list." It took me a few seconds to realize he thought my wife and I could read the labels of the bottles hanging on the wall from 10 feet away. Never mind that many of the labels weren't facing forward. I told him we couldn't tell what was what, so he started reading them off one-by-one, which didn't really help the situation. Then, I asked to see the food menu because we had intended on eating dinner there. Instead, he tells us they only have chips because the cooler went out in the afternoon and just got repaired a little while ago. He said that if we were still there in 45 minutes the food would be ready then. That got me wondering what he meant by that. As far as I knew the only thing Emma's serves are cold sandwiches - so what did it matter whether the cooler was cold enough or not. Whatever food that was in there would've had to have been moved out of and then back into the cooler so it wouldn't go bad. Waiting for the repaired cooler to go down in temperature would have made no difference. These are hand-made sandwiches. As long as they didn't go unrefrigerated the deli meat would be just fine. We decided to not pursue having dinner there since we probably would have ended up getting sick. It gets better, though. Next, my wife asks what Chardonnay's they have. He doesn't know, but plucks a couple off the wall. We decided to go with an organic one and asked for a couple of glasses. He then opened the bottle and was about to pour the wine when my wife and I both said, "Stop!" Don't you have anything that isn't room temperature?" He was really going to pour us room temperature white wine from the bottle he grabbed from the wall. WTF? He did find a bottle in the cooler behind the bar and poured us a couple of glasses. The wine wasn't room temperature, but it wasn't cold either. Neither one of us liked the taste and both of us started getting a headache from it before we even finished our glasses. Meanwhile, the host pretty much forgot about us and was instead talking to his Unabomber-looking friend the whole time. After that, we decided we'd had enough, paid the bill, and went somewhere else to eat. All those great reviews Emma's has touting excellent service, great food, and a friendly host were not meant for us, apparently. Instead, we got one of the most bizarre "dining" experiences we've ever had. Obviously, we won't be going back.

It's an amazing local bar with a great beer selection. The staff is top-notch and super friendly!If it's your first time there, they make you feel like you're a regular! I'd give them 6 stars if i could!

Stopped In for a glass of wine..noticed they serve sandwiches so I decided to get one and let me tell you...Lisa made me one of the best sandwiches I've ever had! The pretzel bread was nice and soft, the amount of salami was filling and the pepper Colby jack cheese had a nice delicious kick to it. They also have a nice variety of wine. Lisa was also very nice. Will be coming back here again. Thanks Lisa!

Wasn't that lucky. There were kids in there playing and being reprimanded by someone. The gaming area looks very classy. Not looking to hear someone else's kids while getting out of my home.

Good food and drinks and very friendly staff! Fun gaming choices and occasional live music too! Plenty of parking and easy access off 120

This place is pretty good, my old friend took me here for some wine and it was like juice, delicious. Sandwiches were good, a little overpriced, but good
