As football season returns, Emerald Waterfront is gearing up to become one of Navarre’s favorite game-day destinations. Guests can enjoy special football menus available both inside the restaurant and at the outdoor bars during Monday Night Football, Sunday Night Football and Thursday Night Football games.
The football menu will feature many of the fan-favorite items guests already enjoy from the restaurant’s late-night offerings, while adding new game-day favorites including chicken wings, sliders and Emerald’s signature deep-fried ribs. Combined with cold drinks, waterfront views and multiple viewing areas, Emerald Waterfront creates the ideal atmosphere to cheer on your favorite team all season long.
Adding even more excitement to the dining experience is the arrival of Chef Andrew Suthers, whose creativity and culinary expertise will help elevate Emerald Waterfront’s menu offerings. Guests can look forward to chef-inspired daily and weekly specials that showcase fresh ingredients, bold flavors and innovative preparations.
In addition to football season, Emerald Waterfront is already helping guests prepare for the busy holiday season ahead. Holiday party bookings are now being accepted for corporate events, family gatherings and seasonal celebrations. Whether hosting an intimate dinner or a larger group event, Emerald Waterfront offers customizable catering and event options to make every occasion memorable.
For families looking to spend less time cooking and more time celebrating, the restaurant will once again offer holiday meals to go for Thanksgiving and Christmas. These convenient take-home meals allow guests to enjoy a chef-prepared holiday feast while spending more quality time with family and friends.
Returning this fall is Emerald Waterfront’s popular gift certificate promotion. Beginning October 1, guests who purchase gift certificates for family, friends or colleagues will receive a bonus promotional voucher. The annual program has become a favorite holiday tradition for guests looking to share great food and experiences while receiving added value during the gift-giving season.
Before football and holiday festivities fully take center stage, Emerald Waterfront will host one of its most anticipated events of the year during Labor Day Weekend. The Jimmy Buffett-themed celebration on Sunday of Labor Day Weekend will feature live music throughout the day, creating a festive atmosphere along the waterfront.
Guests can also enjoy a special appearance by the “Parrot Lady,” who will be bringing live parrots for interactive displays and photo opportunities. The event will include silent auctions and a 50-50 raffle benefiting the Special Needs Athletic Department at Southside High School, giving attendees an opportunity to support a meaningful local cause while enjoying a day of entertainment and community spirit.
Of course, guests can still enjoy everything that has made Emerald Waterfront a favorite destination year-round. Happy Hour is available seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., with half-priced appetizers at the bar from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Signature favorites include Boom-Boom Shrimp, Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp, Mushrooms and Spinach & Artichoke Crab Dip, accompanied by drink specials on well drinks, call drinks, house wines and domestic and Emerald Republic draft beers.
Lunch is served daily from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., featuring handhelds, fresh salads, Bayou Bowls and steak burgers. Dinner begins at 3 p.m., showcasing locally sourced seafood, premium Midwestern beef and chef-crafted entrées inspired by Gulf Coast flavors.
Whether you’re gathering with friends for football, planning a holiday celebration, supporting a local charity event, or simply looking for great food and unbeatable waterfront views, Emerald Waterfront Bar & Grill continues to offer something for everyone this season.
