A lively spot for a late night drink.
I have been here a couple of weekend nights over the past months, and it seems to be getting more popular as time goes on. It is a large venue with bars and seating areas on two floors, but the space fills up quickly as it draws crowds. The music is upbeat if you are looking to get tipsy and dance/sing, and the noise (though loud) is not entirely overbearing to a point where you cannot hear the person next to you. The bar service is pretty good all things considered.
The drink menu consists of a full bar. There are plenty of tapped and bottled beers, liquors, wines, and cocktails to keep the alcohol enthusiast happy. The food menus (particular the lunch and dinner menus) list some good options, but I am weary of trying it given the posted sanitary inspection grade as of 11/14/15. Hopefully, these issues will be cleared up soon so I can give the food a shot.
I recommend grabbing a drink here if you are in the UES and looking for a place with a bigger crowd/scene.
Fun lively bar/ restaurant with live music Thursday's and a DJ spinning the place into a club vibe Friday and Saturday nights.
Two levels, with outside table seating on the ground level and an outside patio where you can stand and people watch onto second avenue while chatting with friends on the upper level. (The 2nd avenue construction does not make this a pretty view – but still, it is cool.
The first time here a while ago the live music was the attraction as we walked by looking for a place to have dinner – sitting outside hearing the music was wonderful, and while I don't remember what we ate, we were pleased.
The most recent time I passed and noticed people standing on the upper level patio and wanted to check it out, so came here later on a Saturday. Definitely a fun time, though pretty crowded both upstairs and downstairs around 11, crowd downstairs thinning a couple hours later. Both levels had loud music, and definitely a fun upbeat energy.
Drinks, basic. I had an extra dirty martini last night, and it was decent enough, though I don't think any drink served in plastic (required on the patio) could be exceptional.
Neither time disappointed and definitely recommend as a fun bar to go with a fun date or with friends.
For a regular bar this place has a couple things that make it stand out. First, the food menu offers quite a few diverse and unique options and everything i tried was average to above average. Also, the 2 floors, live music and large wrap around balcony were awesome as well. A great spot to stop into for a drink in the UES
This is a really oldey but way over-due review. I wouldn't have hopped in here or it would have just taken me much longer to notice this bar unless it was for one of Yelper Phil's infamous upper east side Yelper bar crawls last year. Five Mile Stone is a 2 story bar with an upstairs area that overlooks the street with little balconies facing the glorious sunshine and construction along Second Avenue. Lol. It's pretty low-key but with a great craft beer and cocktail menu. On this particular visit I had some kind of Cherry Ale from Gun Hill Brewery. LOVE in a cup. They also gave us Yelpers numerous shots of complimentary maple syrup whiskey. It was so tasty and is also a regular complimentary gift when you hop in and check in again. Their food I've never had the pleasure of trying but they have a lot of tasty options involving southern cooking (gumbo, deviled eggs, lousiana style chicken) and then numerous items with lobstah on their menu. It's kind of a Louisiana meet Ireland type of pub with some flare.
This is a run-of-the-mill bar, but I do like it and keep coming back for happy hour. The deals are pretty good — Monday-Friday 11-7pm, they have $5 select beers, wines, and well drinks. The bartenders and servers make good beer recommendations and let you sample them if you're undecided. The bar has 2 floors, so it's usually not too packed and you can find a table. There's a "porch" area on the second floor which you can go out on in the summer but it's unfortunately standing room only. I've had food before, and while the fries were good, I wasn't a fan of their veggie burger. My friends had wings the other night which they really liked though.
Cute little spot. Comfortable as far as bars go. We came as a big group for the Kentucky Derby and sat right down and ordered a bunch of wings and drinks and a few other bites. The bacon app was awesome and the flights were pretty versatile as beer goes. Enjoyable. Great live music options too.
Best burger I've had in a while by far!!
Whoa ! Came in on a whim after every other place had a super long wait because of March Madness. This place was packed as well but I was quickly seated in their upstairs space and while the server took a bit because it was so busy, the manager approached us and assured we would be helped soon, that was very nice to hear.
I ordered the bacon burger, the burger was insanely delicious, the fries however had too much parsley and was a bit weird for. The burger was perfectly juicy and the bun was fresh.
Will definitely be coming back for this tasty burger
Came here for a quick dinner and drink before a friends birthday party. Service was fine although it took a while for our food to come out even though it was just small appetizers, and the waiter completely forgot about extra dips we asked for (after we asked for them twice). Avocado toast and buffalo wings were yummy and they had a lot of drink options with a full bar. Overall it seems like a pretty typical sports bar, nothing particularly exciting, but not a horrible experience.
