Five Points Bar was the perfect last stop on our barhopping night in San Jose. They were doing a Harry Potter–themed pop-up, and it honestly did not disappoint. The bar was decked out with fun details, and the Harry Potter–inspired drinks were all on point.
My favorite drink of the night was the Phoenix Ember of Gryffindor — a bourbon-based cocktail with honey and hot apple cider. It was incredibly smooth and warming, making it the perfect drink for a cold winter night. Definitely one of those drinks you remember after the night is over.
One of the coolest surprises was the hidden speakeasy in the back called The Bowery. It’s a small, intimate space with just a few places to sit, which gives it a very cozy, exclusive feel. They even had letters hanging from the ceiling like in Harry Potter, which was such a cool touch. It felt like a little escape from the main bar, and they were playing different music back there, which added to the vibe.
Overall, Five Points Bar is a super fun spot with creative themes, great drinks, and a unique speakeasy experience. A must-visit if you’re barhopping in San Jose or just looking for something a little different. 🍸✨

I stopped by for some beers and the vibe was really lively, so I might come back and get ready for a night out.

I'm very shocked this was the only place in Dowtown SJ that did not accept me due to my outfit, basic cut sleeves shirt, jeans and shoes. Due to my outfit, I will need to cover my arms, so my friend lend his jacket and security/bouncer still did not want to let me in and told me to completely change. All I can say when someone looks ugly as a bouncer/security, they get will be hating on you since your very good looking. Customer service lost, all good. Just looking out for y'all.

On Wednesdays, all cocktails are 50% off. I asked the staff to recommend a good one, and he kindly explained what he recommended in detail. The unique flavor of what he recommended was really good, though it was so strong! You should visit on Wednesdays!

Cool bar come early to avoid crowds. The bar makes good cocktails. Bartenders are rude and not very personable. Limited tables chair and seats. Long lines for bathroom. Dirty tables and floors. Pricey drinks
I don’t really do bad reviews but I was really upset about this business. We were having a 30 year birthday next door and want to continue our celebration at five points. We were a group of 8 Asian American girls but only had a bottle of champagne between the 8 of us. The bouncer declined our entrance and continued to let other people that were not Asian American that looks very intoxicated through the door. We asked why and the bouncer just simply said “no”. No explanation or anything.

Honestly the vibe here isn't too bad I would have definitely given this a higher rating but I mostly disappointed by the fact that they added a 10% gratituity to every single order done over the weekend. I I've never been to a bar that adds it automatically. In order to get the most out of it you would have to order multiple drinks so you don't keep going back and getting charged again another 10%. I think I will reframe from coming back here again there's a lot of good bars in the San Pedro area that don't even do that. if you're going to charge people a automatic 10% then Increase your prices a little bit on your actual menu so that way it seems more fair and you can provide a more livable wage for your employees.

Bartender is rude. I didn't give tip and he got even more mad. Owners should take into consideration that tip is for good service not entitled agreement before I order drinks
