This busy intersection is no stranger to wild times. The building that houses Emmit's once housed the valuable hordes of several prominent Chicago gangsters. The remnants of this era can be seen throughout the building. Along the years it has evolved but the spirit of old-school Chicago remains. In addition to the craziness, Emmit's is also a favorite location for Hollywood producers with... more

This gem of a place offers Irish specialties such as microbrews, shepherd's pie and Irish stew. Dark wood and forest green are the primary color tones, with a lighter tile floor and brick walls. There's a varied selection of scotches that you can enjoy while watching a game or listening to the piano player. They also have branches at Milwaukee, Grand and Halsted.

RIVER WEST . Emmit's fulfills all the requirements for a textbook Irish pub – a great selection of beer and scotch, traditional grub like shepherd's pie, and live Irish music on weekends. The professional 20-somethings who comprise most of the clientele don't seem to mind this distinct lack of trendiness. Instead, they revel in neighborhood ambience, high-backed booths, and touches of Celtic... more

I love hanging out here whenever I get a chance. The food is not memorable, but the atmosphere is unbeatable. There is just something to the place that makes you feel right at home. Never been during the week, only Saturdays, and it's been both super crowded and very mellow. Great staff has fun and took great care of us. Must check it out!
