M1-5

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

Celebrated my girlfriends birthday here this past weekend. We all had a lot of fun, drank WAY too much, and danced the night away....the bathrooms (from what I can remember) were kinda lousy. Other than that, we had a fab time!

They let way too many people in. The night I was there you couldn't move, let alone dance.

Came here yesterday for Holiday drinks with my office. The place was busy, but not overcrowded. The music was fun, and the staff was friendly. Got everything I was looking for from happy hour.

I came to M1-5 this past Sunday to watch the Jets. I found the place to be reasonably priced, and had an overall good experience. Unfortunately, my Jets got pounded. On a good note, there was plenty of seating and the food was delicious.

I had my birthday party here this past weekend. Everything turned out great. I was a bit hesitant to do it at a big lounge because I've had issues with my friends getting turned away at the door. I chose M1-5 because they advertise

I've had my share of birthday parties had the upscale lounges and pretentious nightclubs in the city. Those were nights spent mostly outside arguing with unreasonable doormen or getting cheated out of money for bottles once inside. This

This place doesn't even deserve 1 star. Terrible service, overpriced drinks in a rundown trashy place. Not worth it at all.

Nothing good to say about this place, bad in every category. Terrible service, overpriced drinks, and full of tools. Won't go back.

NOT A PLACE TO CELEBRATE A BIRTHDAY!
First do think the service is lousy and the management has much negative attitude and is not very friendly or accommodating. There is good happy hours prices. The staff is very friendly and doormen are

Obviously, those reviews from May are the work of a low-IQ humanoid who must have been rejected by one of the beautiful people who go to M1-5 or the Ainsworth (notice how the reviewers only reviewed those 2 places, and both owned by the

Are girls allowed in this bar? I live in the neighborhood so Ive been a few times...and it is always jammed with guys. On top of that...every guy in there was a tool who thought he was a bad ass. The staff is slow and the drinks were

Things I hate about m1-5
1) meathead doormen on power trips
2) overpriced watered down drinks ($15 each)
3) slow/rude bartenders who make up prices and add their own tips
4) bad music on lousy stereo system
5) crowd full of fratty dudes

I WOULD NEVER GO BACK TO THIS BAR. After planning my birthday at M1-5, I arrived to find a line three hours long, absolutely no partiality for my guests, zero service and a bar so packed it was impossible to breathe let alone get a drink.

It was a nightmare and made a big mistake I picked this place over other places....bouncers were not friendly and were throwing their weight around for no good reason....very rude behavior! Not recommended too expensive, poor service, too

This place looked like a blast. We had really high hopes, and heard it coould be a good place...but we were so dissappointed....
Condoms on the floor....
No good looking people...
Expensive drinks with little alcohol in them.
AND THE

reserved a space for 30. called to confirm a few days before. when i arrived, there was only one small table that could fit 8 people. i complained and was told the other tables were reserved. by who I have no idea since they were empty

I threw my girlfriend her surprise birthday party at m1-5 last night. I wish I can do it all over again. Not only were the drink prices out of control but the one female bartender that was serving us kept making up her own prices as the

Planned a bachelorette party for my friend and made reservations at M1-5. We had a table reserved and were told we would not have to wait in line. Even called the day of to confirm reservation. When we got there, well before 11, were told

Went here for our friend's birthday. Went to get a few drinks from the bar. I use the term "drinks" loosely. $15 for a cup of ice, no vodka, and some flat soda?
The people at this place, the people! I stopped counting after I got my

I cannot believe I chose this place for my party! My guest were turned away, when I was the one bringing them business. They bouncers were meat-heads who had an ego issue, and they were just overall not accomidating. Especially not the

i wouldn't go back if you paid me. Lame, lame, lame. Talk about tools, the owner is the biggest one of all

Nothing good to say here. This place is uncomfortably overcrowded (with all guys), the bartenders are very inefficient and rude, drinks are watered down and expensive, and the music is terrible. I wish there was an upside, but theres

After having a terrible night at this trashy place, things got even worse when I got a $90 bill for 3 drinks! This place is already too expensive, but the bartenders added an additional 3 drinks to my bill and then added their own 20%

I came to M1-5 for a friends bday party and she had reserved one of the cabanas. My first impression of the place was ok. The drinks are over priced and the bartenders seem to make up prices on the fly. I ordered two drinks and was

I got to M1-5 last weekend to meet up with some friends. As I was going inside I walked into the main entrance and as I was about to open the next door to get in, the bouncer opened it hard right into my face! It hit me in the eye and

For a place that claims to be a posh lounge, youd think theyd have some decent dcor. It looks like a dirty warehouse or basement, so much of it is unfinished. Charging posh club prices for this dump is totally ridiculous. Wont be

Overpriced drinks, rude bartenders and crappy service. 1 star is truly too good

If you like waiting in painfully long lines then this is the place for you! You'll have to wait at least 30 min to even get in. And then if you pre gamed then you'll most likely need to empty your bladder the minute you get inside, but

Too crowded to enjoy yourself, and not enough room to dance or get a drink at the bar. Waste of time coming here.

I went here because it looked like a good place on the website. Too bad the food and drinks were awful and we were packed in like sardineswith all guys. The bartenders were also really stuck up and made up prices as they went along. If

The bartenders here are crooks. Repeatedly over the course of the night I was given the wrong change back. The first time I legitimately thought it was a mistake. Not the second, third, or fourth time. The last round I ordered cost $25

The staff here has no idea about customer service. The doormen, hostess, and bartenders are all stuck up and rude. Treating your customers badly doesnt make you cool, it just means youre going to lose them.

Title pretty much says it all. I absolutely hated going here. Overrun with guys, expensive drinks, and slow/rude bartenders. Definitely wont be going back here.

This place has no idea how to treat customers. The manager, doormen, and bartenders need to learn that treating your customers badly isnt good for business. Somehow they got the opposite idea.

Unless you like paying $15+ for watered down drinks in a rundown s--t hole, keep away from this place.

Came here last weekend, and the night could not have gone worse. This place is a huge dump, looks like a dirty basement. It was packed from wall to wall with all guys and it took forever to get a drink. When I finally made my way to the

I have no idea how this place gets business. Overpriced, rundown, and snotty. Everything I dislike all in one. It really should close and make NY a better place.

A dirty basement setting, rude/slow bartenders, watered down drinks. This lounge pretends to be a nice/cool place to go. The only thing that makes this place seem like a nice place is the ridiculous prices they charge for drinks ($12)

I booked a party here last weekend and the night was over before it even started. When we arrived, the one person in our group who was a minority wasnt let in. The doormen said he wasnt dressed properly (he was wearing dress pants and

This place is supposed to be a sports bar meaning you should be able to go there to watch sports. It is a terrible place to watch. The picture quality is terrible, basic cable for sure. The setup is awkward, its very uncomfortable to

I booked a party here with the manager and lots of promises were made, including no trouble getting in for my guests, a table, and a few complimentary drinks. Not a single promise was kept. The doormen gave just about everyone at the

I will never be returning to this sorry excuse for a lounge. It was a hassle to get in despite the fact that it was early and not crowded at all. The bartenders were awful, taking forever to serve you expensive watered down drinks. The

I asked for a slightly dirty martini, and watched him pour in more than a jigger full of olive water into the mix. Thought I would wait to see how it tasted, but it tasted like salt water. I asked him politely to remake it. He did,

Came here with a group of 12 for a Superbowl party. I'm a huge Steelers fan (sucks they lost), so I was really excited for the game. We had a hot waitress who got us a few rounds of free shots. The place was busy but not packed, and the

My girlfriends and I were bar hopping downtown for my bachelorette party. We had heard of M1-5 and decided to go there as our final stop. We didn't bother calling ahead. However, when we arrived the security guy brought me over to the

Had my birthday party here on Saturday Feb 26th. I brought a group of 25 people. It was about half guys half girls. There was no issue getting in at all. When we got there, we received a few complimentary drink tickets from the

I booked a birthday party here last weekend with the club manager. I told the manager we would have 40 people coming. He said that he booked a table for us and that my guests would have no trouble getting in. When arrived, the hostess

Lame and uneventful. Huge bore going here.

The most fundamental thing any bar, pub, lounge, club, ect needs are good bartenders. Some are more efficient than others, but somehow this place found the least efficient ones Ive ever seen. It takes forever to get to the bar, and once
