We love the ‘bar without walls’ feel with the strategic use of glass and how the different floorings of timbre and faux grass soften the entire atmosphere. What seems to be giant display cases, serves to be chic private rooms where you can enjoy the usual Erdinger White, Asahi, Guinness, Heineken or their extensive menu of mixology cocktails.

Five has been touted to be one of the best places to chill out at after work, and we quickly realize why. Cheap beer!
