“If you’re in the Upper East Side and want something casual go to Five Mile Stone. Very friendly, very quiet, and a superb tap list of micro brews.  We were originally supposed to go to a “kid-friendly” tourist trap, but I decided that food is of the utmost importance, and food shall be the priority; as opposed to my “kid’s dining experience.” —>give me a break.”

“. . . Though impressive-looking, we weren’t in the mood for heavy brunch plates. We opted to split the lamb sliders and a shaved Brussels sprouts salad. I am beyond glad that we did.They were INCREDIBLY delicious. I loved this food so much that it inspired two posts. Today’s focuses on the crunchy, sweet, and fresh Brussels salad and tomorrow I’ll focus on the lamb. It’s worth the wait, I promise. . .”

“FINALLY! UPTOWN’S GOT A BRUNCH SPOT WORTH BRAGGING ABOUT!”

“Five Mile Stone, 1640 2nd Avenue (between 85th & 86th)  The corner on which Five Mile Stone sits seems to be cursed. So many restaurants and bars have come and gone on this corner that it was a shock to hear that one of the UES’ most talked about openings was taking place here. But I think File Mile Stone might have just stumbled upon the right formula for sticking around: an extensive beer list, simple but incredible menu items, and a young, hip atmosphere. There’s two bars on two different levels (which is a major perk for people like my fiance and I who prefer to eat at the bar than at a table), and plenty of sitting and standing room everywhere.”

“A beer bar with a fratty wildness. Also a New Orleans–esque outdoor balcony.”

A review of Five Mile Stone on Manhattan’s Upper East Side

A bi-level spot, located at the northeast corner of 85th and 2nd Avenue in Manhattan’s Upper East Side, Five Mile Stone is a solid addition to the NYC UES craft-beer bar crawl.  Opened in early March, 2014, Five Mile Stone offers 24 quality tap beers from across the U.S. (along with a few from overseas) as well as a dozen wines by the glass and another dozen or so by the bottle.  Happy hour specials include $5 draught beers.  With bars on both levels, Five Mile Stone offers high-top seating for parties of two and four.  The downstairs bar is semi-circle shaped (as is the 24-tap beer system).  We look forward to returning here the next time we are pub crawling in this section of NYC.

“We started Saturday by meeting some friends for brunch at a new restaurant on the Upper East Side called Five Mile Stone. I could not recommend it more!  We split the burger and duck pastrami sliders which were incredible!
