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 had a really good experience at Five Points Bar thanks to Humberto. He was super chill, friendly, and really helpful the whole time he definitely made the night better. The drinks were solid and well made. That said, the food didn’t quite hit for me. The wings in particular were pretty dry and felt overpriced for what they were. I’d definitely come back for the drinks and the service, especially if Humberto’s working, but I’d probably skip the wings next time.
I was here for a private event and had a nice experience. LOCATION This bar is conveniently located near San Pedro's square (SPS). You can park in the SPS parking lot which provides 90 minutes of parking for free and only $1 for each additional 15 minutes. It's a short 5 minutes walk from the parking lot to the bar. AMBIANCE I like the spaciousness and warm decorated vibes that this place gives. Noise level is reasonable. Their restrooms are also clean and tidy. SERVICES Our server was attentive and made me one of the best Amaretto Sour drinks. Overall, I enjoy this place. Though I haven't tried any of their food item yet, I heard good things about them from my friends who've been here before. I'll definitely consider Five Points next time.
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 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.
I was looking for a restaurant with live music on a Monday night, I found five points, and I was thrilled. They had a live jazz/blues band that seemed to bring in different instrumentalist. It was so much fun to watch. I had the most delicious nacho fries. The drinks were really good, but had a lot of ice and they were playing the raider game on TV. My server was super nice and attentive. What an awesome night!
Good drinks and atmosphere - walking distance to the Sharks game and a nice stop prior to the game. We ended up getting a great booth on the back of the restaurant and it was a delightful experience. The service was also excellent. Revised / 5 stars when we arrived for service, atmosphere and the drinks but when the food came it was a solid 2 stars. Being gluten free, I had limited options and ordered the nacho fries. They came cold and not appetizing at all. Rounding up to 4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ based on the other attributes but not a dinner destination for GF or even others.
