    Five Lamps' standout menu items, above and beyond, are the handcut IPA french fries ($6), soaked in a savory brine sourced from West Coast India Pale Ale. You'll never eat normal fries again. Read more

    the bar smells like a ball park mens room... I love drinking beers on the can as much as the next guy, but this stink takes it to a whole new level. coming soon: urinal cakes under the taps...

    UWS's newest bar is the perfect addition to the neighborhood. Amazing beer selection, fantastic food (try the BBQ chicken wings), and huge beer garden in the back.

    Great garden in the back, decent drink selection. Little on the noisy side and sure it was shuttered by the health department, but it's still a great neighborhood joint.

    Caesar salad + sausage flatbread (make sure they don't drown it in Gorgonzola). The 5LT burger is also delicious but at 12oz it should be shared- or go breadless.

    Our boys Clay & Chad know how to treat regulars. Come by to say hi to them! PS: They both know how to make an extra spicey bloody mary!

    Decent draft selection but you will have had most of what's on there. Patio out back is a good idea but not executed as well as it should be. Good for watching the game.

    The waitress voluntarily set up separate checks for a large birthday party group. Who does this? Amazing. And terrific food and booze to boot.

    Awesome. The bar we went to the most while we were here. Good food, great bartenders, and a good atmosphere.

    Lots of beer selection. Cool backyard although GOOD LUCK getting any attention from waitstaff. Better to sit inside where they can't ignore you!

    Try the salmon BLT! It's the only thing I get there now, and it's actually really delicious!!

    Good beer selection, but choose a bad day for brunch (Opening day for football),not enough waiters/waitresses for the crowd, and no bottomless drinks because of the games...

    As nice as this place is, the backyard is more amazing. It's just gigantic!

    Amazing beer garden in the back, great tap list, and maybe the best burger in the city.

    Great brunch special, as most plates are $10-12 and include a drink (Bloody Mary, mimosa, etc.)

    Make sure to sit in bartender Steve's section. Ask him to make up a drink for you; you won't be sorry.

    Inside can be loud when sports are on. If the weather is nice, the beer garden in back is a must.

    The food may be gastropub aspirational but don't come here for it - utterly mediocre. The beer selection is terrific, the bar has powerports, & there are outdoor options in front and in a back garden.

    The best bar on the Upper West Side. If you're in the area you have to swing in.

    Used to have the best Steak Frites and then they changed it to a lesser thinner cut. (FAIL). The food is good here though........

    Watch out if you're not American. If you order chicken wings, 10 is more than enough since a "wing" is like half a chicken.

    Don't bother with brunch. I ordered eggs Benedict without the Muffin - came with two poached eggs on a plate. When I asked were the bacon was they came back in 10 sec with cold prosciutto cut on top.

    Bartender was rude! She kept ignoring the bar and talking to the other brander. I've been here before at the dinning area and was fine but the bar left a sour taste in my mouth.

    Service sucks! Waited at my table for 10 minutes, had to go find the waitress myself to place an order while the hostess was just twiddling her thumbs in the front. They never even brought me water.
