Five Mile Stone

Fun Spot! Great drinks and super friendly and welcoming staff. I love the feel of the place when you walk in, and you have to check out the upstairs bar and balcony. Will definitely make this a regular spot for after-​work cocktails!

The food concepts here are great, but the execution leaves much to be desired. I got the quinoa goat cheese salad, which was not quinoa & goat cheese on a bed of lettuce (like I was expecting), but rather a heap of quinoa with too-​big lumps of goat cheese mixed in. And the occasional beet. My friend got a sausage dish, which she also found disappointing. I probably won’t come back for dinner, simply because there are so many better places nearby.

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.

The appetizers are ALL delicious– (I tried every one). The music here on weekends is great. This is always my favorite local place. Also the waitress Ariel is phenomenal, I’m a professional and know when a worker is breaking their behind or not– Ariel does, she accommodated my growing party of guests and sat us all at a large table. She was quick, sweet and we just loved her. Will definitely be back!

Nice light and bright atmosphere for a bar with tvs. Friendly quick and attentive service, free Bloody Mary mimosa or screwdriver with reasonably priced brunch options on weekends and holiday Monday’s. What’s not to like?

Burgers were good (terrible BBQ sauce = like ketchup mixed with orange juice). The Irish couple at the table next to us talking to the Irish manager got both their appetizer and entrée before we got just out entrée. Lame.

I cannot begin to tell you how frustrated I am… if your going to this bar, make sure you pay in cash. Otherwise they will charge up you’re card, as they did for me. The manager told me that they sometimes charge your card as a voided check… I’ve never heard anything like this before. To check with my bank to see an issued return. After that, was another unauthorized charge… UNAUTHORIZED CHARGES!!!

Great place to come with friends or a date for a low key night out. The upstairs has a nice balcony to hang out on when the weather is nice and they often have live music at the bar downstairs which is a plus.

I love catching up with old friends. This was the case when I visited Five Mile Stone for the first time. Why I’d never been here before is beyond me, I live a stone’s throw away (pun intended).
Anyway, I met a couple of friends for food and drink. The lower level has a nice bar and ample space for tables/​seating. The service was great. Our waitress was super friendly and very attentive.
I started with a cocktail called the Fitzgerald which contained Gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, and bitters. Sometimes you just want a high quality, but simple and refreshing, cocktail. This was just that. Good stuff.
For dinner, I opted for the veggie burger with sweet potato fries. The burger was barley based, and very hearty. It came topped with fresh avocado and red onions (I asked to hold the aioli). It was very good, I would recommend it.
Overall, good food/​drink, good service, nice atmosphere. I’ll be back.

Great atmosphere and a very fun local bar. They have an upstairs area where people have plenty of space to dance and the Dj plays all the hits. The staff was amazing and extremely attentive. Didn’t wait longer then a few minutes for a drink. Definitely will be back!

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.

This place is beautiful and clean. The upstairs and balcony area is awesome. Very friendly staff and owners who greeted us with fine Irish friendliness and hospitality.
Great selection of craft beers. We just stopped in for a drink and ended up with the home made potato chips. Seasoned well and tasty. Will try more of the food next time.
Will be one of our usual spots when we move to the neighborhood.

I used to really love this place — great location, awesome ambiance, and happy hour & burgers. However, my last two experiences here ensure I won’t be coming back.
First I brought my parents for lunch with my boyfriend, and the waitress completely forgot my mom’s order so it came 20 minutes late and she didn’t apologize or even offer anything comped.
Then I came for happy hour with my boyfriend last week and we were overcharged for our wine. Then the bartender completely disappeared from 6:30 to 7 (aka when happy hour ends) and gave us a hard time about asking for happy hour prices since he was nowhere to be found. Again, no apology. And it seems so ridiculous because there are so many other great bars nearby and literally across the street that offer the same happy hour. Needless to say, I’ll be taking my business elsewhere from now on.
Such a shame for a place that started off so promising!

One night a fight broke out with frat boys taking off their shirts, eloquently displaying the ills plaguing young men in America.
The next night my friends wallet was stolen from his jacket.
Best to avoid this place.

Five Mile Stone from the outside looked pretty inviting, until I saw the huge glaring «C» rating it had. I quickly texted my hubby to tell him there was no way we were eating anything from here, and decided to go the strictly liquid route. As we bid my husband’s two work colleagues farewell as they embarked on their new journey in Cali, we decided to stay just an hour or so to be social.
There are two floors — the main level had opened their window doors to let in some liquid sunshine and the summer breeze, but when the street lights came on, they closed them and pumped up the AC. Since I now needed something to keep me warm, thanks to Unilocal,when I checked in here, I got a free shot of whiskey! It was quite yummy and went down my throat with a wonderful burning sensation.
Then, since our party kept growing, we let the hostess know that we would need tables, so we were moved to the upstairs level, in the back corn by the balcony door. It was nice and cozy upstairs, and we did have some members of the party order appetizers as I looked on. When the platter of fish stick came out, it smelt like the smell of the ocean went with it. The picked leftovers in their plates made me happy I just stuck with the bar.
Great space, comfy seats, and TVs everywhere you look with muted various sports. Overall, I would really have no further desire to visit unless someone else was buying my drinks.

I’ve been to Five Mile Stone on multiple occasions now, and it’s consistent in that the food and drinks are always great. Lots of two-​person high-​top tables that are perfect for a date. They have a nice beer selection but I’d definitely recommend trying something from their cocktail menu (I’m partial to the Fitzgerald), as well as their bar snacks (the homemade pork rinds are addicting)! I’ve been pleased with the sandwiches I’ve had there, as well as the salads. In the summer you can’t beat a plastic cup of beer on their balcony, overlooking Second Ave. I also attended the New Years Eve event this past year and it was nice to see a place not charge a cover while still passing out hats and noisemakers!
Sometimes it’s hard to get seating and some of the servers will abandon you for a while, but I’m so pleased with the food and drinks.

I’ve had the chance to visit this place via a Unilocal event and enjoyed the experience. I recently returned on a sat night and had a blast. To start off the beer selection is not expensive at all on a sat night. The beats are continuous hits and keeps the crowd happy.
The balcony on the 2^nd floor is a nice touch as the warm weather is approaching. Via the Unilocal event I got to taste some of their delicious treats which makes me comfortable enough to order food here during a late night visit.
This is a great bar on the UES! No need to travel all the way downtown or to the LES to get this same type of bar experience.
PS don’t forget to check-​in on Unilocal in order to get your free whiskey shot!

«Great bar; Great space; Great beer»
I typically come to this bar for drinks but I hear (and by the smell) that the food is good. There is even a PB&J burger. I do not if I an brave enough to try that just yet.
There is a great selection of beer (especially IPAs) and special-​blended cocktails. Note, the beer selections are constantly changing; however, the staff are very willing to suggest brews.
There are two bars one upstairs and one downstairs. I believe the one upstairs is open after 5pm. But, you can still drink (as long as you use a red/​orange solo cup) on the balcony upstairs. Depending on how many people are on the balcony and at the tables will determine if you are allowed to smoke.
I do have to say the UES is really stepping up its craft beer gastropub game. Kudos!

This may not be authentic Louisiana food, but who cares… It’s DELICIOUS! I ordered the shrimp and grits and the fact that they jazzed it up with kale so that us health-​conscious New Yorkers have our fiber and dark green veggie fix. My boyfriend had THE sandwich and it was also scrumptious. Ham, egg, chili, and bacon topped with buttery Hollandaise sauce. Perfect for an after workout meal.
The draft beer was only mediocre as was the maple whiskey shot (thank Unilocal!). The shot was like drinking maple syrup that burned on the way down. Very strange.
The ambiance of the place was cool and it looks like it would be busy during football season. Our waitress was very nice and attentive, getting our drinks, bill, and to-​go back quickly.
Would love to come back here and sit upstairs by the balcony in the summer time. Maybe throw some beads!

Not anything special, your typical sports bar that doesn’t have sticky floors. The upstairs and balcony are nice when it’s warm. It’s never been packed either on a Sunday afternoon or Saturday night. The drinks aren’t strong and they focus more on being creative.
Came for brunch once and our waitress straight up peace’ed out in the middle of our meal. No joke we saw her walk out the door and never came back and then spent almost an hour waiting for our check.
The food was decent, the eggs florentine was a bit over seasoned. The mimosa was good and the garden Mary tasted like liquid green salsa with vodka.
There are better options in the UES.
