The Crab Castle

I love that they have a wide variety of cocktails. I've liked all I tried, but the Green Ray is my favorite. I don't think I'll try anything else there anymore. I had a few appetizers/ snacks and thought they were good. I keep getting the fries. Service and seating options (inside and outside) are great. I like that they serve drinks when other nearby bars are closed.

Between the tasty cafe they had/have and the carefully crafted cocktails, this place is worth a stop. Locally owned by some cool folks, this bar is a nice place to relax. It has TVs but not with audio, so the scene is chill. No non alcoholic beer selection, so I drank Coke but the chicken sandwich was delish and the fries had a ‘MickyDs’ saltiness n quality to them that I enjoyed. My buddy got a cocktail with chartreuse that he enjoyed enough to order a couple. The staff was nice. Quiet yet friendly, and attentive when we got her attention. Beyond the basics of what to expect from a bar, this place also has several cool elements like pennys on the floor, a secret room, and lots of great historic vibes with the interior. This is the kind of place that lasts for decades, and I hope it does.

Good drinks and atmosphere - walking distance to the Sharks game and a nice stop prior to the game. We ended up getting a great booth on the back of the restaurant and it was a delightful experience. The service was also excellent. Revised / 5 stars when we arrived for service, atmosphere and the drinks but when the food came it was a solid 2 stars. Being gluten free, I had limited options and ordered the nacho fries. They came cold and not appetizing at all. Rounding up to 4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ based on the other attributes but not a dinner destination for GF or even others.

I was looking for a restaurant with live music on a Monday night, I found five points, and I was thrilled. They had a live jazz/blues band that seemed to bring in different instrumentalist. It was so much fun to watch. I had the most delicious nacho fries. The drinks were really good, but had a lot of ice and they were playing the raider game on TV. My server was super nice and attentive. What an awesome night!

Absolutely love it here. My wife and I came here for a few late night drinks on a Wednesday. Service was excellent. We where taken care of by Tom and Benjamin. Their drinks where amazing. We got x2 of there top drinks, Off On a Comet and The Green Ray plus a few extras. Came a little late for food (no food after 10pm here) but as for the environment and drinks, Highly Recommend it! We'll be coming back for sure with more friends in the near future! Side Note: Bartender mentioned live music on Friday & Saturday nights

I've gotta say, this may be one of the best bar ideas and executions (no pun intended) that I've ever seen. Five Points is based on the real life characters and happenings portrayed in the movie Gangs Of New York. Not only is the decor stunning, but the cocktails are out of this world. I came for Happy Hour and loved it so much, I stuck around for the jam band Jazz session later in the night, and then proceeded to shut the place down!!! I had the Blood, List, and Diamonds, their slightly different take on a Vieux Carre. It was smooth, not too sweet, and strong. And the addition of a luxardo cherry puts it over the top. Tyler was an incredible host and bartender and gave me the history of the place and decorative style. There's even a little speakeasy room where you can have private events, or they open if it gets crazy on the weekend. Even the bathrooms are decorated with hand painted scenes from the gangs. Because they do not serve food on Monday, they are pretty relaxed about letting you bring munchies from outside locations. I did have to run out to get something to eat, but I was back for the music. Every time I'm back in San Jose, I'm definitely going to drop in and say hi
