Located in Historic Downtown Mount Prospect, Emerson’s Ale House is an American Style Pub serving a wide selection of draft beers, delicious food, and exceptional service.
Emerson’s Ale House is located in the heart of town and is a popular destination for the Mount Prospect community and surrounding neighborhoods. If you are a beer fanatic, like we are, then you need to check us out. We proudly offer a selection of 32 different draft beers with a large selection of local brews.
Our 1/2 LB signature burgers have been dubbed the “Best Burgers in Town”. Using only midwest, grain-fed natural beef, these hand-packed patties contain a mix of chuck, steak and brisket and are ground fresh by Ascot Meats. Our mouth’s are watering just by talking about them!

- Marisa N.4/23/2026I am moving away from this area after living here for 5 years with my husband. A lot of our dates were here at Emerson's before we got married. All the bartenders through the years have been wonderful. The food has been amazing. Overall, Emerson's has been amazing.So, for my last week in the area, I made it a mission to work from here and just sit and drink and eat one last time. I have studied here as well through Engineering School and worked from home here when I am lonely more times than I can count. Thanks for being such a staple in my early twenties and into my late twenties!!! My husband and I will make sure to visit when we can!!!!!read moreread lessDamir4/15/2026Had a great lunch experience here with a few friends! The place was pretty packed, but we got lucky and found an open table right away. The restaurant itself was very clean and had a nice, welcoming atmosphere.The staff were friendly and attentive, and the service was impressively fast—even during a busy time. Prices were very reasonable, especially for the quality of the food.I ordered the salmon salad, and it was absolutely amazing—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. I highly recommend it!Overall, a fantastic spot for lunch. I’ll definitely be coming back!read moreread less

- Mitchell G.1/10/2026Great place to watch a game and get a fantastic meal! Short rib grilled cheese with a tomato bisque and fries was one of the best meals I’ve had in a while. Fries are fresh cut and everything comes on a wood board or cast iron pan. Mac and cheese a neighbor table received made me jealous. Really good craft beer menu with 20+ options. Cocktails were great and there were some options there as well! Only recommendation would be to change the waiters to be in charge of sections over every other table. Tables they are responsible for is too spread out which makes it hard to get another round or close out.read moreread lessJordan C.1/08/2026Cute spot in downtown Mt. Prospect. They have daily specials, and Tuesdays are all day happy hour which includes some drinks and food. The cheese curds were a bit too breaded for my liking, but still good. They have different salads that you can get as a wrap- I’d definitely get one again!read moreread less
