We love a restaurant with a juicy, dramatic history to add to the dining experience. Emmit’s that featured in Ocean’s Eleven (Danny Ocean played by George Clooney invites Linus Caldwell played by Matt Demon to Emmit’s for a quick meeting) has earned its iconic celebrity status. Additionally, it was also featured in Backdraft and Uncle Buck. To add to its impressive resume, the site also has an incredible history, to be told another day! At Emmit’s, you can feel an 80s era of Chicago captured with its hard-to-miss green facade, gold shamrocks, and brass plated revolving doors. High ceilings, padded wooden booths, ornate wood blocks, a player piano, and a small library of books give it an interesting character that could almost be of a Byronic hero from one of the classics.
Here, you can expect an impressive selection of pub grubs, right from mini burgers to chicken tenders and from corn-fed BLT to shepherd’s pies. We suggest that you visit this place with a large group and a big appetite.
