The security guard on Saturday night and the ticket guy made me feel so welcomed. Not many places respect my pronouns she/her/hers. They truly made me feel loved and respected as who I am as a person. Thank you so much for everything! & this whole bar is NON JUDGEMENTAL which is why when I visit Michigan again I will be back!

Calamari strips are so delicious, a light caper lemon tomato sauce. Captain chairs at bar are spacious and comfy. Highly recommended the calamari!

Been here a few times, & its always a fun time at Fifth! My friends and I really enjoyed our time here. Highly recommend Fifth Avenue for some good drinks and a guaranteed eventful night!

An interesting ambience...some fighting almost broke out and some interesting staff interaction made for an obvious bar setting and an odd dining setting. Luckily, the food was awesome. The Beauty Burger and the Traditional Wings were absolutely worth the weird.

Great food, great service, great live band played by Taylor Tucky! As it started to sprinkle, the staff quickly passed out umbrellas to all that were sitting outside. Thats amazing service! Very impressed.

Good outdoor hightop seating, pretty good selection if drinks, not too pricey. The guys working kinda forgot about us a couple times, because we were in a back corner outside, but they did apologize, and they were nice young guys. Eh, Id go back!

Service started out slow but gain momentum and did a fine job in the end. Wagyu Burger and turkey burger or good although I thought the beef was overcooked and shrunk up so it didnt look like a very good value. Not big on the chili powder they sprinkle on the fries I think they could be something a little more creative there.

Didn’t let my boy in, he look very presentable, blue jeans but looked good, other people had them on too far it was weird af so 7 of us didn’t go in and went to odooleys next door it was better tbh, bad first experience here, thought it was really petty, he really didn’t look bad at all. Stylish actually. Wouldn’t spend money here

Everything was good for the first hour there on the patio. After that they just started cramming people in there was 0 social distancing happening it was absolutely ridiculous the other half of the Patio was completely open ... I brought it up to the manager and server. They said “yeah I don’t know why they do that” that that’s all. I immediately cashed out and left.

Covid-19 spreaders. They dont care about the public/customers obviously... cant even announce on their page to inform those that attended the bar. Videos and pictures of it being packed. Should be closed for good. They will ruin it for all the actual good businesses in the area!

What a great place! The people were so nice!

This Bar does not care about social distancing, Co-Vid19, or your Health. Their actions these past couple weeks will ruin it for everyone else when Bars are forced to close again. Please avoid this place for your own safety until they begin to care about public health over making money.

A nice bar for hanging out on the weekends.

Waste of money. Trash. Don’t go here for special occasions

What is the vibe the bar is going for? If it is generic, preppy bar then Fifth nailed it. Music is the WORST. Ive been twice and that is two times too many. Can you please hire someone with good taste in music? Why do people want to re-listen to the radio when they go out?

Great staff. Zach deserves a raise! He was beyond helpful to my friends and I and was an awesome/bartender.

I work for a local non-profit agency and we held a holiday party for 200 kids and families at Fifth Avenue in Royal Oak. It was spectacular and they happily stayed within our budget! The decor was festive and the staff was attentive and went above and beyond to help make it a memorable experience for all. I would highly recommend this venue!

Spacious inside and out. Very friendly staff. Good food.... BEST spinach artichoke dip Ive ever had!!! Drinks are kind of small though, but otherwise a great hang out spot.

Its a college bar....lots of good looking young people. Theres an upstairs area that costs a small amount (maybe $5) for men to get into but the downstairs is free. Good music but drinks are pricey and small.

Great place to stop in before a show at the Royal Oak Music Theater. Its a short walk, even easy to do in a Michigan winter. Loved the pizza, wings were pretty good too.

Major public health risk. Owners choose profits over safety and bar is crowded with 0 enforcement of social distancing or mask policy.

I am so happy you are closed!!! God is good! You are getting what you deserve, finally.

It was very fun and diverse. I love it.

Great place.. Best day is Saturday when dj. Harry rocks the place

Told us to come at 12:30 but plans were at 3. We decided to kill time by going to zap zone and Target to rage. Zap zone bottle service way cheaper. I will be back!

When not busy, the club pays people to trick you into buying drinks. It was very frightening the group of men working for the club tried to separate my friends and I and tried to get our personal information. Would not recommend if there are not a lot of people out and about.

Only got the Carona Virus that was Asymptomatic. Very disappointed by the lack of proper viruses.

Discrimination at its finest. I came with a group of friends yesterday to find out we couldn’t come in because “the way we were dressed”. This including clean tennis shoes, ripped jeans and a ball cap yet the bouncer let a bunch of white people inside with the same outfit we had on. We come here all the time, even bought bottles and spends hundreds of dollars this whole summer just to get turned down yesterday because we didn’t look the same as everyone else. Don’t come here if you are African American or a minority in general. White privileged only.

The nonprofit I volunteer at hosted our annual fundraiser here and I cannot describe how disappointed we were in their location and services. Despite signing a contract, Fifth Avenue changed their mind several times about how much we owed them for the venue since we were supposed to get it at a discounted price. They had only just decided a couple weeks before what our final price would be, despite having booked the venue months before. Five days before the event, they told us we were no longer allowed to sell or bring in baked goods, which was supposed to be part of our bake sale. We already had people who started baking and purchased supplies. This alone cost us about $400. We were promised the venue would be set up and ready to go when we got there in the morning, but absolutely nothing was prepared. Our planner was late and seemed to have just rolled out of bed, and stood in the corner watching us. The entire second floor was in complete disrepair. Tables and chairs had no order, the floor was so sticky you actually had to do a light jog across the floor to unstick your feet, and the bar was covered in dried alcohol that made everything stick to that as well. We asked them to clean up and were met with grumbles and groans, so we had our own volunteers go out to get Clorox wipes and cleaned the entire place ourselves. Theoretically there were large pieces of wood that were supposed to be placed over the pool tables so we could use them for our silent auction items, but when we asked where they were, our planner told us they were too heavy and packed behind other things, so they wouldnt be getting them out for us. Their alternative solution was to use mismatched tablecloths over the pool table, which did not look at all classy. The stage floor was covered in DJ equipment. They didnt move it until minutes before the event started, after having two hours notice to do so, and their solution was still to just push it back a bit. Continuing the theme of terrible service, the bartenders were refusing to give customers their change back and instead keeping it as a tip. People had to ask for their cards back several times before they actually had it back in their hands. Overall this was a terrible experience and we paid for it dearly. I would absolutely not recommend this venue to anyone.

Went there for a private event last night and all they were worried about was getting us out as soon as the event ended. We left our table with all of our stuff sitting at it to take a quick picture and they literally threw away over $20 worth of drinks that we had bought. They could have at least gave us a last call or something instead of just rushing to get us out by throwing all of our beverages away that were more than half full.

This establishment deserves a five star rating plus some. Had company holiday party last week for approximently170 employees. I worked with Megan Male VP of Marketing, she is the best. I informed Megan what I was looking for and gave her my companies budget. I was afraid Megan would turn me away but; she didnt. Megan did a wonderful job planning and executing all of my companies wishes and went over and beyond to work within the companies budget. Megan reassured me that everything would be taken care of from the food to the entertainment and she kept her promise. The Fifth Avenue staff was great from the time we arrived they were helpful and welcoming. We had the entire second floor, which was nicely decorated for the companies holiday party. There was LED lighting all around the entire second floor adjusted to our company colors. We enjoyed an appetizer buffet, cash bar after drink tickets, pool tables, giant jenga, corn hole, karaoke and DJ. I have received tons of positive feedback from our employees about the great time they had at Fifth Avenue. All I can say is well done and thank you Megan and the Fifth Avenue staff for your outstanding service, we will definitely see you all again next year.Rose N.

Horrible, this place is dirty not friendly at all and doesnt not protect its customersIm a young person who went here during mid march 2020, was told to leave for no reason other than they needed more space for other customers when i asked why they just said we dont want you here and was kicked out. I was on call with my job at the time and was kicked put for stepping out side to take a call. The bathrooms are wide open next to the bar and i didnt even trust their food. I believe this place is harvors disease and the staff are extremely rude to customers.I highly encourage you to not go here with any luck they will be losed in 3 moths and another better bar will take its place, roylay oak does not need rhis establishment

A group of 5 of us went to go in. Two of them wearing works shirts and shorts. I’m wearing jeans with rips and a crop top. Our black friend was wearing a white polo, jeans and a brand new pair of Jordan’s. They refused our black friend entry because of the way he was dressed! They couldn’t give me a valued reason besides for the owners have a dress code, said they don’t like his shoes!!!

I had 250 dollars cash in my wallet, I left it on the table by accident because I had to use the rest room. Came back for it and the bartender handed me the wallet with no cash inside. I asked them where was my cash and the bartender first told me he found it with no cash but then said it could have been in there. I asked to speak with the manager and the manager told me they dont have it. I asked them to show me the surveillance video but he refused to show me the video..The whole situation was shady and it is horrible that the bartender would be acting this way, stealing money from other peoples wallets. This place might be the attraction for Royal Oak downtown, but I would advise you to be careful as they dont have any ethics..This happened at the top floor of the bar

Nice bar. DJ playing downstairs on Thursday. I hear the upstairs on the weekend is when the party is really popping.

Not a good place to go with people you want to have a conversation with. Music is dance club-loud for reasons unknown. We also had to seat ourselves, aka we had to snatch a table as soon as the people before us left because there wasn’t anyone seating the patrons. Servers never came to our table although there seemed to be plenty of them.

Once we got in we had a great time, but the experience leading up to it was awful. It was our best friends 21st birthday, but he was denied entry at first because he had on a tee shirt (an expensive Versace tee shirt to be exact) and eventually the bouncer made our friend pay him $20 to Get in.

This was my first time attempting to go to Fifth Ave. I am a 22 year old white male with a valid ID, dreams and ambitions! I arrived at the door at prime time 11:23pm to be exact. At first the bouncer looked at me and my friends and probably thought to himself “these guys look like they could afford to slip me a few dollars, or 20” Then proceeded to make an exaggerated ordeal over a slight rip in my jeans. Being the knowledgeable well rounded gentleman I am today, I saw exactly what the bouncers intentions were. After, numerous minutes of explaining myself and hoping for an understanding conclusion, the bouncer looks at me and says “see that guy, slip him a few you should be good to go”. At this point it’s not about the money, but principal. Me and my friends were completely and utterly appalled at the fact that Fifth Ave doesn’t feel the need to adapt to new fashion trends, as well as pay there bouncers enough that they don’t have result in scheme full tasks to feels as if they’ve made enough money. Overall Fifth ave missed out on the privilege of having a great group of ladies and gentlemen fill the atmosphere of the environment. It’s cool tho me and my dawgs pulled up to the strip and made it rain like future. Shoutout diamond at legends! Ole’ girl really put in work for this bag no cap

Very busy college bar. Got there early and after that they had a line for the rest of the night after that both for getting in and to the upstairs dance floor.

I have already contacted the owner/manager, but I think it is important to make sure others are aware that this establishment blatantly discriminates and racially profiles. After our personal experience where minority members of our group were not allowed in, we did some research on various online forums which suggests this to be a disappointing trend for this location. I strongly suggest you take your business elsewhere.

Spacious but cozy. Upper loft is a great place to throw a party.

One of the best bar/club in Michigan. Nice atmosphere with good crowd. I just wish they had a smoking patio in the second floor.

Great night life. Fun atmosphere. Ok food

Was very packed but friendly patrons an good dance music

Honestly, not a fan of this place. If you are 21-26ish this might be a fun spot for a wild night in Royal Oak. They are hit or miss at the door. Sometimes I will be let in looking like a bum, sometimes Ill be denied wearing some of my nicest outfits I have. Downstairs is pretty chill and nice. Once you go upstairs is where its messy. Super crowded, sweaty, dancing. For some nights im about that, for other it gets old. Also you usually have to pay a $10 cover, $5 for girls or free if you go early.

I dont know why anyone is saying the place is racist. They have a pretty diverse workforce here. The place is really bad when it comes to service. You could have a quarter of your beer left or half a hot dog and a cleaner will come and take it from you. Its really annoying because they dont ask you either if you are done. I saw a couple of people have a fit about their beers getting taken and they got kicked out by a bouncer.

This is a classic downtown royal oak night life scene, great drinks great dancing. Antonio made our night that much better!!

Had a great time coming out here for our first time. No cover charge was really nice, and the drinks were made strong enough for the prices which were actually pretty reasonable. All in all we hsd a good time here and I could definitely see us coming back next time we are downtown royal oak!

Lovely ambiance, They got a dance floor on 1st floor, after 10 pm a cover charge for $5.Includes pool tables and fun games. Weekends are pretty crowded but worth it if your in royal oakDrinks are affordable and good food

Great place! Fun and welcoming environment.

The bouncer eric let my friend in without dress code and I really appreciate it!!!!! You guys are awesome

Worst experience ever. Never got a waitress. Moved tables twice. Had to go get menus and still waited for service. Lost a lot of money. Went to bar up the street instead. Waitresses here don’t even know how to waitress just walk by and act like your not there. First time and last time going here ever.

Best bar in Royal Oak. The bartenders always respond fast, pool tables up stairs are a nice touch, and good music to go with it.

Great local spot!!!

Fun bar go to with nice staff. We went for a Harry Potter bar crawl, and had a lot of fun. They actually put alcohol in their mixed drinks compared to the other bars we stopped by. The environment is good and there are plenty of places to sit/stand.

Not a bad place. Can get crowded

Great place. Packed all the time. For large groups look into renting the up stairs.

Staff is terrible. Blonde bartender upstairs dumped out my drink immediately after I paid because i didnt tip.

Last weekend my wife and I, and another couple went in after dinner to play some pool. We were playing 15 minutes when we noticed the couple next to us having a discussion with an employee. It appeared to be a debate about their bill. The employee was getting agitated and started to gyrate and swagger in the guys face. The employee then said, “If it makes you feel like a man, I’ll take it off.” That’s when we’d seen enough. My wife said, “You can’t talk to him like that.” The employee said, “You can’t talk to me like that.” You’re out of here. The bouncers then came over and said, “You need to leave.” I asked why. They had no answer. The employee was outraged and kept saying, your out of here. She can’t talk to me like that. Smiling and gyrating with an attitude. I calm explained what happened and asked to speak with the manager. I was SHOCKED WHEN THE BOUNCER SAID, “He is the manager.” I asked for his name, and a contact for an owner. The manager came over got in my face and said, “My names Adam, and I’m not giving you anything else.” This guy was clearly unhinged at this point, so we left. The bouncers were very calm and professional, and told us to come back in 30 minutes to speak with a different manager. I followed through and spoke with a professional manager who said I would here from management. Well, it’s been a week, and I haven’t heard anything. In looking back on this situation two things are clear: 1) the manager was not happy about a woman questioning him, and 2) he was speaking to the man and his date inappropriately because they were a mixed race couple. By 5th Avenue continuing to employee this manager, they are supporting this behavior. So if you are a woman or a minority, I’d think twice about going to 5th Ave.

Awesome customer service

Been there many times than today for some reason we were denied entry for how we were dressed. But we dress similarly everytime we come here but today was an exception? Dont get it. Not coming back

The staff here is amazing. Great place.

The outdoor patio is nice. The upstairs is something else reminds me of the wayside at CMU

Bar tenders were extremely rude and tried to steal my friends credit card. Upstairs is extremely grimy. Waitresses spent more time flirting with men than serving other customers.

Great spot

Hit or miss. Some weekends its good, others its packed with frat boys. Its a bar, with a club.

The gate keeper is racist upfront. He didnt let me and my friends. He did let other races in expect mine. Why are they descriminating?.. Shame on you guys.. Yall far worse than insects..

Enjoyed ourself first visit. Food was good!

Pricey to get in, drinks are also pricey and not the strongest. Downstairs is busier than the upstairs dance club. Music was ok, I think Id rather go elsewhere for a fun night. But I will say its fairly clean. Bathrooms had someone to pass out what you needed.

Always a great time and good service!

This place is amazing!!! Great time, great works and great people. Its the first place I pick in when I come to royal oak, MI

Fun place to have a drink and talk. Plenty of space and doesnt get overcrowded.

The best club in town for young hott meow meow, dancing, and outdoor patio

Discrimination right at the door. Like how do you turn down your own people and feel dignified?

They would not allow my friends in because they judged them because they were in a Star Wars Pub Crawl. Its weird as the Crawl started there. So I WILL NEVER SPEND ANOTHER DIME here as I think they discriminate. Some of my friends are younger. They were gonna allow me in. I understand they are protecting a liquor license but none of the other pubs had an issue. BTW my GF said the Bartender called us dorks behind our backs when we were ordering drinks at the start. They were suppose to be the after party here and the Manager said he didnt know anything about it. They are like most of Royal Oak now... arrogant. This is proof. Just like 3 restaurants leaving in the last 6 months. They are apart of becoming another Birmingham. I will let all of my contacts know they discriminate against people who dont fit their arrogant profile.

Awesome TV setup for the football games!

The SECURITY at this place are SCAMMERS. They wanted me and my friend to sneak the bouncers $20 to get in because my friend was wearing Timberlands. Meanwhile they had no problem letting people wearing converse and vans in. The only difference was we were only 2 and they came in with a large group. Its a lot easier to scam 2 people than it is to scam a whole group. And if it really is bar policy to not let someone wearing $170 shoes in but $40 converse are ok this place is ridiculous.

We came here on the Harry Potter bar crawl and the best thing they did was make us realize how great the service at O’Tooles was. We waited 5-10 minutes at the bar that had 3-4 bartenders and maybe 10 people standing barside and two of the bartenders stood on their phones texting the whole time rather than taking orders. Then, when one of our companions went up to put in another order the bartender said “I hate these thing.” We also tried to order food. In the entire 30 minutes we were there we tried to order food at the bar and were told we had to order at a table. We talked another table into letting us sit there so we could order but we had servers walk past us about 5 times before we gave up and left. While I understand bar crawls are busy and create a lot of work, it is an opportunity to create new loyal customers and with that attitude fifth avenue failed at that. Thanks to that we will be taking our business to O’Tooles where we are appreciated. I hope the wait staff will learn to adopt a better attitude during these events because it really does affect our opinion of your business.

I met a few nice women and they gave me business cards.

Nice mixed crowd, good drinks, nice & attractive bar tenders, friendly staff, attentive security but not overbearing, spacious, 2 floors/2 different vibes, but they could mix up the music a bit more.

$50 giant moscow mule was great!! Perfect for summer

I hear the complaints about fifth avenue but from my personal experience, never did anything bad happen to me. I believe that the bouncers look at certain people acting very suspicious or too drunk, so they find ways to not let them in because it avoids any problems INSIDE the club/bar, especially when bouncers are very intuitive about people that try to get in. Honestly, I love fifth and had fun when I was there. I love the environment and the people are very upscale which makes the place look very unique. Just follow the dress code, dont cause any trouble, and have fun and you should be good :)

Loud. decent but not geeat food. However the Sunday Brunch is expansive and a good deal

This is a really cool bar and it always has a crowd inside. I love to hang out on the patio in the summer.

Such a horrible place to go to. The dress code doesn’t allow ripped jeans but when if a female is wearing ripped jeans they allow it. Such a sexist place allows a female but won’t allow a male enter the premise.

Not crowded for early evening dining. Food was good. Jeff the bartender rocks!

The location is very nice the security with the police outside was awesome but the staff at the door whats a little different but I guess it speaks on the clientele that they had their that night and to my understanding is that way every night the majority of the people were young and drunk or either high they were very belligerent it was not a good atmosphere if youre between the age of 18 and I would say 30 it would be okay for more mature crowd on that night it was not a good night the bar staff was extremely nice very friendly very attentive to the clientele. They cannot have anyone monitoring how much they serve liquor to individuals because it was so many people that could hardly stand up it was on real they were inside falling all over the place the men and the women were wasted . Fifth avenue potential is so great but the structure of how they allow business to be ran on that night was not a good thing but the security was awesome.

Awesome staff! Great service and a very friendly cool vibe in the place! Feel like they actually appreciate you being there...my new favorite!! Good job guys!!

A little bit quiet due to opening day recovery...lol, but the staff was still on their game like always.

Good Bacon Cheese bread. Perfect snack while drinking.

I came here for my 21st because I’d heard some good things but as soon as my friends and I got there we were told that the minority members of our group couldn’t enter because of the dress code even though they were letting in people who were obviously not “up to code”

There was flies in the liquor they served us. The manager ADAM was very rude and didnt want to do the minimum. He even pulled the angry black woman card. All I asked for was a refund considering it was 3+ flies in the drink. I just want to speak the owner at this point... because that is ridiculous I dont understand how the staff would say it didnt happen like that, when none of them were in the actual building when it happened. I can legit write a detailed account of what happened.IT WAS SEVERAL FRUIT FLIES IN THE LIQUOR THEY SERVED US. I ASKED FOR A REFUND, THEY ORIGINALLY SAID NO BUT OFFERED US MORE SHOTS, WE SIMPLY DECLINED AND ASKED AGAIN FOR A REFUND. IT TOOK 30 MINS FOR ADAM TO SAY, I GOT YALL. I SAID CAN WE GET WRITTEN PROOF THAT YOU WILL REFUND IT. HE KEPT REPEATING I GOT YALL I SAID I CAN SAY I WILL GIVE YOU A MILLION DOLLARS AND DONT. THEN HE SAID NO NEED TO BE RUDE HOW AM I BEING RUDE, WHEN ALL I ASKED FOR WAS A REFUND? I WASNT LOUD OR ANYTHING.. THERE WERE TWO COUPLES IN THE RESTAURANT, I COULDVE EASILY SAID TO THEM WHAT HAPPENED AND RAN OFF BUSINESS... I JUST ASKED FOR A SIMPLE REFUND... Ive seen 2 reviews alone saying that yall racially profile... Dont deny my experience if you werent there...

Very nice to have a beer a burger and a good chat

Never had a worse experience... Im not usual to write reviews but I couldnt keep this in. St. Pattys Sunday 03-17-19 my brother and I were meeting up a few friends at 5th and we had a table reserved. As I got to the bouncer to show ID I was told no white shirts were allowed inside the club. Confused as I heard this I peeked inside only to find others wearing white shirts. The bouncer said they were workers (Obviously not...). We came back a few hours later wearing black shirts and again were denied entry. DISCRIMINATION! I have come to the conclusion that we were being discriminated because we were Middle Eastern. Money wasnt the issue nor were the rest of our outfits. This is not the first time that this has happened here and many people I know that are middle eastern have had the same issue. After this experience I will never support an establishment like this Again. A real business doesnt operate this way. They dont know how much Im going to spend in there. I can take my business somewhere else. Very disappointed that they let this happen. Its places like this that restricts metro Detroit from growing... 0 STARS FOR DISCRIMINATION.

They didn’t let my boyfriend in because he was wearing joggers. You’re not that special bye.

I will start with the positive. The waitress was very nice. After that....well, she was poorly trained. Three of the drinks/food items we ordered were out of stock. She had to cut the orange for my husbands Blue moon herself. Why in the heck did she and NOT the bartender have to cut the orange. The food was poor quality. The looks of the place gives the illusion of quality food. The result was greasy coney island tasting food. The manager seemed great when he sat us but never came back to see how our experience was. We were very disappointed with our visit. We came in because we were on a time crunch and they looked less busy. We assumed that meant faster service. NOPE! We are now late... :(

We had our office party in the upstairs room at 5th avenue, and it ended up being a big hit. The party planning team at the restaurant took care of everything. The service was very good and the staff was really friendly and they made the event so easy, which was really important to me because I wanted to just have fun and I am not great at planning events. I was also pleasantly surprised that I was able to get the whole party done for a reasonable budget. The room was large enough for our whole office staff and some clients, but it was still small and personal enough that we felt like we were at a fun party place, not some big boring corporate ballroom. The stage in the corner of the room worked out great for our band and also announcing and handing out our awards. Thanks 5th avenue, well probably be back next year!

There for a bachelorette party. I thought the food was pretty good. Our waitress was great. Did hear complaints about others. Atmosphere was great.

Loce the layout. Beautiful place. Those fish though!

Nice place to hang out. Like a bar with bean bag chairs and pool tables. Tons of TVs for watching sports
