M1-5

Tribeca swank mixed with low-key East Village candor, part loft, part local pub. Similarly mixed crowd orders stylish cocktails, plays darts and billiards in back. High- and lowbrow meet right in the middle and find it cozy. Great place to throw a birthday party when you want your friends to support your habit. We love the discounted prices for local artists—does napkin origami count?

In Short
Lofty ceilings accentuate the lavish, red-drenched walls, but the jukebox, pool table and dartboard maintain M1-5's neighborhood tavern vibe. The cryptic name refers to the bar's...

Great venue, horrible staff

We had a birthday party here and the venue was great and the music was fun. However, the staff, especially bartenders, were exceptionally rude. We bought a birthday package and did not get everything that we were guaranteed. Two female bartenders tried to steal a...

I decided to have my birthday party here on Friday the 13th. I and my guests had an amazing time. The decor has a soft wood touch throughout which really leaves a nice ambiance. They also have a chandelier made of different beer and hard...

I attended an event during Happy Hour on a Friday's evening. I think this place is more of a 3.5, but I decided to round up because I had a great time at the event:

Really not a pleasant experience.

Really not a pleasant experience. Large, warehouse-like bar (reminded me of a barn), full of young people, mostly guys, and expensive drinks. Slow, bitter service at that.

As the evening progressed, the space because uncomfortably crowded and seemingly dangerous. The lame dancing is also dangerous.

“Space isn’t an issue” at this “sparsely decorated airplane hangar” of a bar that offers “decent music” and “moderately priced” booze in an “isolated” part of TriBeCa; it’s a no-brainer for a “nothing-fancy” night out, though it may seem “too big for the amount of people” who show up.
