Went to watch the Buckeys game as this was advertised as the Alumni Bar in NYC. IT WAS PACKED with Buckeye fans. Although we had a reservation Holding and not confirmed since we were only two people, they would not seat us. We found a spot to hang out upstairs in the back and although had to break our necks to watch the game on the TV we had a great time.

Honestly one of the most beautiful and cool sport bars in the city. The food is phenomenal, the wings are to die for. The drinks are amazing, and the biggest shout out to the bartender Wellington, such a great experience thanks to him! We are definitely coming back and will be recommending this bar to everyone! Thank you and great job!

5th and Mad was recommended to us by friends and it didn’t disappoint! We were greeted by Wellington behind the bar who couldn’t have been friendlier and looked after us all night. He even gave us some cool spots to check out throughout the remainder of our trip. It was our first time in New York, and this was definitely one of our favourites! The cocktails were great and the food was amazing…would highly recommend the steak!

short: I only recommend this place for the salsa dance class and dance social on Mondays hosted by Talia
long: horrible experience. I went directly from work for the free salsa dance class, and since I knew I was arriving very early, I had planned to eat and have a drink. The flyers posted on IG promoting the free salsa dance class clearly state the class starts at 7:00pm and the place opens at 5:00pm. I entered shortly after 5:00pm, after another guy entered. I had been patiently waiting outside half an hour. When we walked in, a guy (bartender Noe) asked us if we're there for the salsa class, to which we both replied yes. Then a woman (hostess Diana) that looked like she just rolled out of bed walked in past us and told us the class starts at 7 and the place opens at 6, to which I replied that I had checked online and it states the place opens at 5:00pm and that's when the attitude with stank faces and neck spasms began. I thought to myself, if she would have just given verbal attitude, I could have written it off as her just having a bad day day, but all that extra disrespectful body language and doubling down on her lying was too disrespectful to ignore. The guy immediately made efforts to diffuse the situation and accommodate me and the other guy and showed us where we could sit and gave me a menu. I seriously wanted to walk right out, which normally I would have done, but I missed out on my two favorite classes at Crunch Chelsea with Michael A to check out the free salsa dance class. To play it safe, I didn't order a drink, and I wasn't going to order food after that interaction with a staff member, but I was hungry. Noe, the bartender, is great and provides exceptional customer service. He's the guy that I mentioned earlier who did his best to resolve his coworkers' lack of professionalism and basic decent human behavior. He recommended: the smash burger; tacos; and steak sandwich. I've been eating Wayback burgers almost every day these past two weeks, so I ordered the steak sandwich. While waiting for the steak sandwich, I approached the other guy and asked him if the girl gave us attitude, I wanted to make sure it wasn't just me that had that impression, and he confirmed yes that she did but that maybe she was just having a bad day. I don't know why they call it a steak sandwich. It's a slop of crappy bacon with a side of maybe steak. I wasn't sure what that was. It was like eating chewy bacon because it was mostly bacon, and the bit of maybe steak gave it an overall chewy texture. When I was almost done with the first half, it finally occurred to me to remove the bacon, which I did as pictured, but the crappy bacon taste was so powerful that I could still taste it. So I just couldn't finish the sandwich. The location itself is beautiful and clean. The hostess Diana is a hot mess, and the owner can check the camera to see her giving stank faces and neck spasms shortly after 5:00pm on 7/14/25. The experience was so horrible that it was a torrential thunderstorm outside, and instead of waiting it out inside, I just ran to the bus stop instead. I only recommend the place for the free salsa dance class on Mondays, go elsewhere for food.

We visited this bar for the first time yesterday. We usually go to a few spots nearby since my friend works in the area, but this was unfortunately a disappointing experience. The bartender was unwelcoming and made us feel like we didn’t belong. The bar was dirty when we sat down, and I had to ask for something to wipe it with. My friend was ignored when trying to ask for water, and even when she finally got it, the service didn’t improve. When we wanted to order food, the bartender took the menus and walked away without saying anything—we had to ask if we were even allowed to order. It was one of the worst service experiences I’ve had in a long time, and we ended up leaving.
Went to an all black event here and really love the space.

Came here for the first time for a networking event and had a great time. The drinks are a bit pricey. I loved the aesthetics and vibe of the spot. I would come here again.
