The purple emerald was an excellent place to have an 18th, management was extremely helpful in organising food and drinks and the atmosphere was beautiful. Would definitely hold a function here again!
I hosted my 18th here and it was such a wonderful venue! The staff are just lovely, the area is very cosy, drinks were delicious and minimum spend isn't too ridiculous ridiculous either! The staff helped make my night run smoothly and completely stress free, I really couldn't have had a better experience! Highly recommend!
My go-to place for decadent cocktails, smooth tunes, comfy lounges, low lighting, and crazy cats on the dance floor. The bar staff are awesome, and Thursday nights currently feature the amazing Vinyl Vixens DJ collective.
Went there for a friends birthday and the layout is really nice. There is an outdoor area decking which is perfectly suited to the out door vibe. The cocktails are amazing, probably the best I've experienced in Northcote. Really good music too, the staff are very friendly and we all felt at home here. (We're a bit older). Definitely coming back. The canapes for the function were simple, but really tasty and fresh. Northcote certainly has a winner with this place!
Yumtastic cocktails but a bit pricey. The amaretto sour was it and a bit! We also had some canapés as we were there for bday drinks and surprisingly the chicken skewers were tasty and tender and so were mini meat pies! The staff were very friendly, and there's a cute little outdoor courtyard deck area for warmer nights.
Love it!. Fantastic venue with good live music, delicious drinks, tasty food and friendly staff. What more could you want?!
The Purple Emerald is just what you'd expect to see in the heart of Northcote..quirky, retro, casual. Tapas and sangria were yummy, but missing some finesse in the service....side plates, grown-up cutlery and a cheerful smile would've made a big difference. We came on a Thurs night - fabulous band but not the right venue for a loud 5-piece...an unplugged muso might attract more customers. Overall, we enjoyed the evening.
Called in tonight for tapas and Sangria. Both of which were superb, could well be the best Sangria I've experienced and the tapas were fresh n tasty. Overall the Purple Emerald comes highly recommended and is a welcome addition to the culinary north.
Absolutely love the chicken skewers and arancini! Yum!! Good cocktails too
Slightly rustic vibe. Cocktails have a Latino influence, with a retro twist. Outdoor area is a little run-down but has its charms.
Great little bar with a comfortable area for group bookings / entertainment. Staff were friendly and attentive. If you're looking for a place to hold a celebration for small to medium numbers, this suits nicely.
Cocktails were YUM YUM YUM, had so much fun thx 💖💖💖💖
Great little rooftop for a sunny get together. Cosy inside if its a cold one too!
Service was hospitable and cobsistent.
Menu was well priced, and who doesnt love a cocktail deal!?
Yummy snacks and caters for vegetarians, definitely go back.
$30 for two cocktails and they are yummy. Nice vibe and staff. Would suggest to start you chilled night out here.
Cool vibe and fitout - if you're looking for a good cocktail, this is your place! Food is so-so, staff are always friendly too!
The Purple Emerald is a gem! No pun intended. Great Martinis. Looking forward to my next visit. The lychee martini was the hit of the night.
