First time at this restaurant. Didn't really know what to expect as had mixed reviews. Awesome atmosphere with appropriate decor. Brewery tours next door to restaurant/bar area. Our waiter was very attentive to our needs and answered questions regarding the craft beers. Food was ok. Parts of the meal was very good and some not so good. Overall a fairly good experience
It's surprising to find great food at a brewery but emersons does it really well. They incorporate a fusion twist and blur the lines between fine dining and bar food. Keep it up
Dan the man! Went for the brewery tour with Daniel and it was a 5 star experience! Great tour guide and answered even the most bizarre of questions. My first brew tour in Dunedin and worth going to. Great selection of drinks and food before/after the tour.
Great place, great atmosphere. We were looking for closest bar from where we stayed and found this place. Very lively and friendly staff. Ordered 2/3 glasses of different beers each person and meals to share. Came back next day and bought 10 plastic bottles to take back. Loved it!
We had a absolutely delightful 12 hour brisket. It was sweet and juicy with burnt edges. It sat on top of two golden breaded potato fritters. On top, the garnishes included a pickled purple cabbage and sprouts. The plate had swirl of mustard and purple ? Together it was St.Patrick's day extravaganza with an international flare fit for royalty. Do try it. It will knock your socks off.
From the young man at the desk who sat us, the wee Irsh lass who was quick cleaver and witty and who kindly waited our table, to the manager who told us about the place and selected our sampler tray of Emerson brews... the service was welcoming, fun, and posh.
We went to Emerson’s for the Guided Tasting session. Connor was really friendly and very knowledgeable about all the beers we had. Would highly recommend and thanks for an amazing experience!
The tour was interactive in a novel way and more insightful than most brewery tours I've been on. The guide, Harrison, was very knowledgeable and the staff were all friendly and helpful. Generous tasting too! Would highly recommend the tour, as well as checking out all the brewer's reserves at the bar

Excellent place to spend a evening, drinking beer and having dinner. Very unique presentation of food. Nice ambience. Friendly service. Everything good here.
Came here, especially for their crafted beer and pub foods. This place lives to the expectation of good pub foods and the different varieties of their house beers. We all liked the foods we had and also the beers. I especially like bbq pork ribs and peri peri chicken. A few of the beers we tried were light and have a fruity flavour.....nice.
Well worth the visit. The beer was perfectly cold, which is hard to get in a bar setting. Great food and atmosphere.
