Reviews
I love this spot. The burger is absolutely delicious. Drinks are all really good. Right now they have a cinnamon toast White Russian that just hits the spot right. I love that the burger comes with potato wedges. The bacon marmalade, ipa onions, and mustard aioli absolutely SLAP. They have a Taco Tuesday with great deals. This spot is a regular stop for me ever since I discovered it! This is a place I will be bringing friends and family who come to visit because the burger really is that good. And it’s affordable. Good spot to watch sports and they also have a dart board. Staff is great from my experience
Jennifer at Five Lamps on the Upper East Side was fantastic. She was warm, attentive, and made the whole experience feel welcoming from start to finish. Her recommendations were spot on, service was fast without feeling rushed, and she clearly cares about making guests feel taken care of. You can tell she brings a great energy to the place. I’ll definitely be back and hope to be seated with her again!
My family and I were on vacation and happened to be in the vicinity when the Detroit Lions game was on. We happened to cross The Five Lamps, and figured we'd try to catch the game. Sure it was on a whim, but it turns out, The Five Lamps was the perfect place to watch the game! Our bartender Dan was fantastic! All the waitstaff were attentive, the place was clean, and it was a great spot to catch the game! The food was great bar fare, the prices were very reasonable, (especially for New York City!!!!!) and the most authentic Guinness I have ever had to date. (For real, full stop, no joke. This is a legitimate Irish bar; bartender Dan was more than happy to tell us about the lengths they go through to serve Guinness as authentically as possible.) My father and I had (2) pints each at $9 apiece. 10 out of 10, I will eagerly visit again! If you visit, give your regards to Dan for me!
