Our Top Pick
Emerald Loop Bar & Grill
Pub-style fry snacks that fit a pre-theater Loop stop.
Worthy Picks
7.7
An Irish-leaning Loop pub where fries land best in their flavored, snackable pub forms—ideal when you want something salty and shareable before a show or a late drink. It’s at its strongest when you treat fries as the centerpiece snack and keep everything else optional.
Must-Try Dishes:
Irish curry chips, French fries, Cheese curds
What makes it special: Pub-style fry snacks that fit a pre-theater Loop stop.
#2
Taco Rio
7.6
A counter-service taco-and-cocktail stop right on the Riverwalk that’s more about the setting and momentum than a destination taco crawl. Treat it as a late-day snack run: grab two tacos and churros, then linger with the river traffic and music instead of forcing a full meal.
Must-Try Dishes:
Carne asada tacos, Fish tacos, Churros
What makes it special: Riverwalk tacos with a bar vibe and built-in scenery.
