After 5

The service and ambiance are nice. Our server was great. I dined with my husband outside as it was a beautiful day.The food was ok. My husband had the fish and chips. The French fries looked as though he got the bottom of a bag and therefore quite disappointing. Hard sticks of fries. The fish was ok. Not the best type of fish for fish and chips.I ordered the filet mignon with a Red wine glaze at medium rare. It was served medium, but still tender. Overglazed which overpowered the filet. Otherwise I couldn't taste the meat, which seemed to lack natural flavor, probably due to it being overcooked or overpowered.l. I have had it with the other sauce as well. Which I would have preferred on the side. A good filet mignon doesn't require all the sauce when cooked right. I think the chef has the skills to do this correctly. Just needs some improvement.

I really did like this place. They made a great mojito. I had one across the way at Destino's that was just club soda. . Things went downhill quickly. My friends couldn't find anyone to get another beer it was like a ghost town in there but there were like 10 people in there waiting for a drink. My friends just got their own beers from behind the bar after waiting too long. Lastly, I asked for an ice water and it came with a lemon wedge and a baby roach. We didn't see a manger and the girl said sorry but I couldn't order anything else after that.

We are new to the area and stumbled in to After 5 while driving around to learn Merced. I was taking pictures outside due to how beautiful the landscaping is. Inside we were greeted by the owner, a kind, engaging and gregarious man who gave us our first round free for being newbies. He also gave us advice on the area which was much appreciated. In light of the covid disaster, to see a business owner striving and caring was such a blessing. One of the best experiences I've had. And the drinks were AMAZING!

Weekend review(sat) Pretty nice set up! -music-- great mixture -lots of lounging areas .. chairs and tables all around inside and outside -bartenders are cool (They can smile more and be a little friendlier) -pretty trashy and dirty when it gets later in to the nights because of the ruthless drunks - a lot of very loud obnoxious drunks after midnight Breaking glasses, getting loud and stupid Trying to start fights-there's no security (maybe they should have some, so people can feel somewhat safer) Drinks prices are great!!!

Mother earth's cali creamin' the selection of craft beers at this bar is awesome!! Its nice to take a step away from the IPAs (they do have some) of every other bar and enjoy some craft beers that aren't so dark and heavy!!!

This is Five Ten Bistro's separate yet attached bar/lounge, complete with its own wine list, different appetizer menu, & the largest selection of hard liquor at a bar in the county! Staffed by knowledgeable, experienced, and expedient bartenders, you find yourself "taking five at After Five" more and more frequently!N.B.: For something new, give Bulleit Rye or absinthe a try!

This is a wonderful place to go after five literally! I came here with a couple of coworkers after work just to unwind after a longgg Monday! The whole ambience of this establishment is superb! The staff are friendly! There's a great selection on draft beer and happy hour is always a plus!PROS: beers,beers&beers Kidding! Great vibes, delicious appetizers and reasonable prices CONS: none!

If I could I would give no stars bad customer service!! Waiting for 30 mins and still no one came to the bar! Why have it open if you don't have a bartender!!! The last time I went owner kicked us out with out reason

"After 5"...awesome place to have an after work drink or simply to go watch the 'game' on the "bar side"is ! What impressed me the most...it had an upscale feel & look, but you wouldn't feel out of place...showing up in shorts & tee!This is definitely a "hidden gem"...in Merced!! I'll be back! Also, upscale side of the restaurant part is a perfect "Date Night" spot! This Bar & Restaurant is TRULY a hidden Gem that U MUST visit in Merced!!

Great atmosphere ,great service. Best Mojitos. I just wish they stay open later I can't wait to come back and try what else is on the menu
