Reviews for The Emerson
Matthew Protacio
We recently held a company gathering at the Rooftop and I must say, the venue exceeded our expectations! The moment we stepped in, we were amazed with the venue, from the open and closed areas and seating options. The staff were not only helpful, but also incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the event. The prices were surprisingly reasonable and our overall experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the stunning ambiance to the remarkable staff, we couldn't have asked for a better place to host our company gathering. I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for an unforgettable event with an affordable price tag.

Horrible place! Would never recommend. They ruined my birthday. Xenophobic place and door staff think they are gods and don’t let people in even when they have a birthday going on, people wanting to celebrate together, spend money and have a good time because 3 man in a group of 15 girls is too much. Couldn’t get in to celebrate with my mother and sister cause my partner couldn’t get in. I hope you all learn how terrible service is. They only have numbers but quality is below poor.

the worst club in the southern hemisphere, security at the door is a clown don’t know what’s bigger his stomach or his ego. He’s got false power thinks his a hero picks and chooses who they want and bars every ethnic person. Club is full of creeps. the blonde girl and the door seccys need a reality check because that’s all they are going to be doing for the rest of their lives.

Had an amazing time at the rooftop Veuve ‘boujee brunch’. Great service from the team on the 25th of November and cocktails were delicious. Free-flowing champagne and good value for money, considering. Food was beautiful. I had the tuna nicoise, which was tasty (although maybe not enough carbs for the alcohol consumed).

The Emerson is a nice bar and club in the great location of South Yarra. It’s has three levels so you there is plenty of space to enjoy drinks at the bar and then head downstairs for a dance. The rooftop also has a great view.
