    Chicken Caesar salad
    Kiley K.

    I wish the service here was more consistent because I like the food and atmosphere of this place but the last time I went our waitress hardly came outside and there were multiple people trying to cash out or ready to order that had to seek out staff on their own. Other times I've been we've had really attentive staff even when sitting outdoors so I don't think it's just an outside thing in general.

    WHITE CHOCOLATE ESPRESSO MARTINI
    Kenna C.

    Wandered in here on a little evening walk and was immediately greeted by Savannah at the bar & Katie who was working the floor! Busy but was able to snag a seat and SO happy I did. Savannah asked me if I liked Espresso Martinis - turns out this Irish-American kitchen & bar makes them a ton of different ways, and despite their ability to do it all, not ONE was compromised on quantity. My favorite was the white chocolate espresso martini - they literally garnish it with grated White Chocolate and it made for a perfect pick me up + kind of snack ;) I have it on good authority from my Irish pals that they have a great pint of Guinness as well. Between the service and the vibes I am looking forward to coming back! The bartender Savannah also let me know that they're able to host semi-private events. I'm thinking I'll do my next watch party here. Great vibes and can't wait to come back.

    The Ritas were very good. They make fresh sour mix which is amazingly yummy and not sweet which makes me want more! My favorite tacos are the veggie and chicken. So flavorful. When I'm craving tacos I'll be making my way to 5 Lamps!!! The service was spot on and love the decor!!! I found my favorite neighborhood bar!!! Thanks 5 Lamps Crew!!!

    Tacos
    Eljoy T.

    Came during Tuesday and was quite impressed. Attention: they will only seat you when your whole party is present, especially when crowded. The tacos were filled, 3 or 4 will probably fill you up. Tuesday deal - $2 tacos and $8 margs (no frozen)

    Burger

    Ambiance (5/5): There's an amazing outdoor area with several tables and high tops. They also have an outdoor TV to watch any games that are on. There's a self-serve water station. Inside, it's a cozy bar with nice ceiling lights. There's a dart board in the back. Service (4/5): My friends know the owners here and Owen will take care of you! The owners are friendly and will make sure that you are welcomed. We came around 9pm and it took forever to get our food but we were content with our beers and good weather. Food (5/5): There's a $20 burger and beer special. I liked the burger which came with cheese and bacon, soft potato buns, and well-done potato wedges were FIRE. I enjoyed the fried chicken burger slightly more, which had a light breading and juicy breast.

    Amazing ambiance!! Great drinks and responsive hard working staff (owners present and you feel their warmth and dedication). The food was fresh, made to order and good value. The drinks, my friend...excellent and top shelf service!! I highly recommend this experience and establishment without reservation! You will make it a favorite destination for sure!

    I always see a lot of people eating at the five lamps whenever I pass by and I finally got a chance to go there for their taco Tuesday! They probably have the best deal for taco Tuesday in UES and tacos are $2 each and their margarita is $6. They only have three options for their tacos: pork, chicken, and veggies and I tried both the pork and chicken. Other than tacos, my boyfriend and I also got their chips and guac. Chicken taco: 5/5 They were good especially with the price! Tortilla was soft, and the fillings were flavorful. Pork taco: 3/5 The pork was very dry, almost like pork floss. Do not recommend at all. Chips and guac: 5/5 Not part of the taco Tuesday menu but we just wanted something other than tacos. Portion was very generous and the guac tasted great! Will definitely come back for their taco Tuesday again!

    Ambiance was nice at this bar, I was here In the past to use the Winter Tippler booklet. Original drink that was mentioned I believe they ran out of certain ingredients but the cocktail that was provided was amazing. After my Tippler drink, I did think of getting some tacos for taco Tuesday but In the end I did not. The beer I did try after on this same night last winter was amazing in the long run. Definitely recommend this spot for a place you should visit even if it is just to get a quick drink or two.

    Mimosa
    Whitney D.

    Coming back here after not visiting this bar for 2 or so years I am not sure I would come back at least for food or maybe I would sit inside. The mimosa was great and refreshing, also loved the glass it came in. Was not a usual champagne flute. Food was fine. I had avocado toast with egg on top. We were sitting outside and the service was not great at all. Maybe I would come back just for drinks. We will see.

    Some fancy margarita

    (84-83rd st@York Avenue) This bar was so adorable. Sidewalk seating and tons of indoor seating. Bartender was amazing. The food, was yummy. You must check this place out.

    Fun Taco Tuesday vibes!

    Are there any vegan food options? Is there a vegan taco on Taco Tuesday?

    Taco Tuesday only offers chicken tacos. Not positive about the rest of the menu

    Happy Hour till 8pm every weekday per website- what's included?

    Where can I find your food menu?

Love the bar stools at this place tho, they have backs and the chair is cushioned! I appreciate a good back to a barstool. I ended up coming a few days later and the vibe was much better. The bartenders must have just been tired from their previous shift that one Thursday. They were really great on a Saturday. The happy hour is pretty nice $5 for shot and $10 for a marg. ::bathroom alert::: Very inconvenient when you're at the bar. It's like a maze getting down there. The bathroom is clear tho, I'll give them that. They were playing live music for like 90 minutes. There was literally no one at this bar on a Thursday night, so much for thirsty Thursday. Theres a section off to the left that has a pool table and connect four. On a Saturday night they are playing Spanish music, most people know Spanish music and drinking is super fun!! I can totally see why this place doesn't have a lot of pictures. I don't see how a lot of people wouldn't it is cozy. At the end of the day this places prices are reasonable for this area. They get the five stars because the music was good and the prices were good. $7 for an ipa isn't so bad.

The main reason I'm writing this review, though, is about the service. We were a party of seven, including a toddler who became a bit fussy toward the end of the meal. To be fair, he was making some noise--but the restaurant itself is already fairly loud and buzzy. When we tried to order dessert, our waiter told us there was "a dessert place down the street, Spot Dessert Bar, also Thai-owned." The comment felt odd and, frankly, like we were being encouraged to leave. Shortly after, he returned to say the toddler was being too loud, which led his mother to take him outside while we waited for our dessert (thank god they allowed us to order some! :| ). I understand that the noise was occasionally disruptive, but if a restaurant provides high chairs, it signals that families are welcome--and young children can get restless. Given that we spent close to $600 for our party, the situation could have been handled with more tact and courtesy. We started the evening satisfied but ultimately left disappointed. I wouldn't go back because of this experience.
