Editorial Review for Fifth Avenue Billiards – by Andy Olesko

The Scene
Those who dress to be noticed will be surrounded by many of the same ilk at this upscale pool parlor. In front of the dance floor, a stage provides a venue to show off. The first floor is the best place to play some pool. As the night goes on the area overflows with people. Live entertainment is a staple here, with blues music dominating the schedule. Otherwise, electronica, dance hall and house trade DJ nights.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

In response to Hello77.....well, looks like you didn't do a good enough job planning your sister's "surprise" party. First of all, how are they suppose to know who your sister is, and secondly, nothing in this world is free.....cover is ONLY $5, c'mon! If you can't pay $5, then you shouldn't go out! As for Fifth Avenue, we have been going there for years and have had nothing but wonderful service and great times. The clienteles' ages range from mid-twenties to thirties, the staff is very outgoing and friendly and the live bands and DJs make for a perfect night! I highly recommend this bar to everyone. If you want to have a great time, Fifth Avenue is the place to go!!!!

I recently had planned a surprise B-Day party for my sister. I was exctied that 5th ave was going to reserve tables and comp cover charge for a group of 50-60 people. After informing everyone of the location and details about not having to pay cover it turned out that 5th Ave charged everyone who came to the party. The Bouncer Rachel ruined the surprise making the B-day girl pay cover and telling her about her surprise party. I will NEVER NEVER plan an event at this bar again. They also did not have enough bar staff and everyone was waiting for drinks all night. I was very disappointed and would advise you never to plan an event with this business!!!!!

Pros: Music is great

Cons: `Employees are terrible
