The 5th

I frequent this bar for karaoke, and the DJ, security, and bartenders have always been nice and respectful to me. I'm a smaller guy who has a history of being ignored by bar staff, so it feels nice to be seen and treated kindly. I'm not crazy about many of the patrons, but that isn't a reflection on the establishment itself.

Came here back when it was Henry's. Good times. Now, it looks like a political rally surrounded by cheap cabin wood and Christmas lights. Security was an affable, approachable bloke. There was no music which made the ambience depressing. Bartender. Terrible. Her tattoos were more busy than helping me get a drink. I watched for over 5 minutes as she commiserated with one customer. She tossed one look at me, holding cash and went back to her conversation. Her transactionless engagement with a bar patron caused my friends and I to leave. Won't be back. Go if you want to be ignored but stay to chat with security.

Love this place! Cool people and owners! Larry and his wife are very kind. Great music and good drinks and plenty of fun people dancing and enjoying theirselves.

What's with the low rating?? We were in town for a Buchanan HS FB game and stopped in and ended us staying way too long because it was so fun. Bartender was ah-mazing. We got shirts!! So fun.

***NOT SAFE FOR FEMALES!!!***Not worth risking your well-being or spending your money here when there are other great bars in Clovis. First, let me start by saying I have never left a negative review but felt compelled to write one after two terrible experiences at the 5th involving - not patrons - but security guards that put me and my girlfriends in danger. It's their job to help patrons feel safe not make them feel like they're in danger.The reviews below are 100% accurate of the environment here. There was one security guard in particular - Ed, the Hot Head who literally runs up on and screams at girls for no reason. I was literally taken back by how aggressive and rude he was unprovoked. This man has personal anger management issues and positions like this attract narcissists like him who need some sort of power or control. It is a DOOR sir - if you are unhappy this is the height of your career, get a different job.Two other girls - not in my group - and I brought this up to the Manager, who another security guard says was one of the owners, Danielle, while we were there. I explained I was the designated driver and was 100% sober so I could attest that the only person acting inappropriately was her employee. Nothing was done by management, he was not removed from his post and on our way out he spat profanities at us and said he didn't care that we had talked to the manager - no respect for her.I was born and raised in Clovis. I support our businesses here and want them to be successful. This type of behavior brings shame to our little town and the fact that people have obviously had the same experiences shows that the business does not take its patrons' feedback seriously - The 5th gets 1/5th Star Review, less if it were an option on Yelp. Support other local businesses in Old Town Clovis!

Awesome service. Had to kill time while my truck was served. A classic car show was happening. Bartender was ADORABLE .I

Hole in the walls or dive bars always have an interesting dichotomy when it comes to daytime and nighttime operations. During the day the 5th is a relatively mellow environment usually filled with an older crowd or people just getting off of work. The friendly day time bartenders are more relaxed and at ease in reflection of the crowd that populates the bar at that time. As the day progresses and the night shift clock in, a younger crowd starts to trickle in replacing the day crowd. A second bartender and security comes on, to help deal with a burgeoning crowd. On the weekends often a DJ will be brought in to help keep the crowd entertained and attract more business, usually leading to even a larger crowd. If you've ever worked in the industry you know how stressful working those shifts can be, either as security or a bartender. Sometimes mistakes happen, but more often than not people neglect to give a full accounting of the situation. I love the 5th, and while I usually go more during the day, I have gone in on a number of occasions during the evening and found most of the staff to be friendly and professional even given the stress inducing crowds. Prices are fair and the drinks are solid.

This place is not what it used to be. There is a $10 cover charge. The ambiance is sketchy. Security is busy mingling with the crowd instead of doing their job. One of them was recording videos of people dancing. I asked for 2 beers only, but bartender charged me $35. Instead of returning my money, she handed me to 2 shots. Place has definitely gone downhill.

Love Larry and Danielle in addition to their staff. They always take care of us and ensure we are in a safe and fun environment.

I was enjoying myself and the atmosphere but when I looked at my receipts I noticed Janae the bartender added a 7.00 tip. I had given her a $6.00 cash tip and put 0 on my receipts and signed. Idk if this is a regular occurrence my bank can't do anything so I'm basically screwed I don't give a $13.00 tip especially when I got up and got my own drinks. The number online is disconnected I will not go out of my way to go down and complain. I guess I won't go there again.
