- CMC M1 day ago1.0Whoever the bartender was the night of July 8th was very rude! The black guy with nose rings

- MTMaria T.Jun 27, 20265.0It's a great place to go and have drinks and spend with friends!!
- BKBeau KebodeauxJun 12, 20263.0Emporium feels like a place that wants to be everything at once: a pinball hall, retro arcade, pool hall, music venue, bar, and social hangout. The problem is that it doesn't do any of those things particularly well. The drinks are bad to mediocre, it's not a great place to meet new people, the maintenance on the games is lacking, the decor is boring, and even simple things feel overlooked. For example, I completely understand not allowing drinks on the arcade machines, but then why not put small drink stands next to every machine? Instead, the whole place feels like a collection of decent ideas that never add up to an ideal experience.
- SMSweet treats wanna be meJun 9, 20263.0It’s ok they just don’t sell bar food 😩nice atmosphere, guess be on their best behavior, the workers are friendly. The drinks is cool nothing special unless I keep going there for drinks 🍹 to try other cocktails. It was pretty laidback music good but nobody there is dancing. The games brings back childhood memories.
