Go here for great drinks! Had to quickly shift gears and move an outdoor party indoors and Natalia the bar manager opened a couple hours early to accommodate the request. 513 really helped me out in a pinch as this party had been rescheduled 3 times! To top it off I lost my diamond bracelet there and went back two days later and found it!! Natalia put together an amazing playlist and ensured the birthday girl had a blast. I am really thankful for everything Natalia did! They also offer some great apps which you can put out as finger food and let us set up in the back bar area with the desserts and decor. Everything came out perfect and I am very grateful for this little local business that came through! read more

Five 13 Liquor Lounge - Appetizers now available to order! - Lounges Near Me - Franklin Lakes, New Jersey

Really nice and intimate bar in Franklin Lakes! Came here with my boyfriend this past weekend for a few drinks for date night! This bar gives off very modern and classy vibes as soon as you walk in. I would say atmosphere and vibe of the bar was more calm and more intimate than I had expected. I really would've liked if it was a bit more livelier with good music playing but that's just my own preference. If you're looking for a bar that's more on the intimate side I would recommend coming here most certainly! Now let's get to the drinks! My boyfriend ordered the Sam's Old Fashioned which he said he liked however he found that it could've been a bit more stronger. Nevertheless, he said he still liked his drink. On the other hand, I got requested for a fruity cocktail with gin however I think the bartender forgot I mentioned that and gave me a Strawberry, blueberry and blackberry Tito's drink with Mint, agave and lime juice. Although it didn't have gin, I was still very happy with the drink I got as it was fruity and had great flavors incorporated in it! Our waiter was very attentive and kind and really liked the customer service here. Overall, I did like the bar aesthetically speaking and the drinks were really good along with great customer service. I would give this place a 4/5 rating however I am on the fence on me returning! read more

Great modern and sleek bar lounge! I came here on a Friday night after work to meet my husband for date night and it was terrific. This is a full service bar that has everything you can think of with signature drinks. This spot is good to come with friends, a date, or to celebrate something. We started off with the grapefruit martini and Sam's old fashion. The bartender made our drinks with love and they sure did get the job done! Both drinks were made perfectly! The best thing about this bar lounge is that there is a restaurant right next door called PAZZA and they have a door that leads right into the restaurant. It seems like they have some sort of partnership because you are able to order food from the restaurant on a separate tab with a server from the restaurant. PAZZA has delicious and flavorful food. After having a few drinks, this is definitely a must! They have American and Italian classics. Their calami, fried zucchini, burgers, and the pappardelle short ri rbagu were all amazing! P.S. they do they reservations so I would take advantage of that. Overall, I highly recommend coming here! read more

The good: cool little liquor bar, bartender was nice. The not as good: there wasn't any food. I might have tried a pizza, but I ended up leaving because I was starving. read more

Second time stopping in and we love it! Yes it can get pricey but hey it's the area ! I wouldn't suggest going to pound drinks all night but for a few glasses of wine this is an amazing choice! The atmosphere is wonderful, the bartenders and servers are friendly and inviting ! The wine selection is decent and all around it's just a quality little spot! We went once on a Friday and it was packed but the Saturday night was a bit more quiet read more

Place was beautiful, service was great, but the prices were obnoxious. Stopped in Friday night with my mother for happy hour. We got charged $21 a drink for Tito's in her drink and cucumber mint vodka in mine. My mom and I were appalled. They don't put the prices on the drink menu and I think they just make up a price! Obviously never going back, and now I know why we were the only ones in the place during happy hour on a Friday! I do not like establishments that take advantage of people because they assume they have money. They will always be unsuccessful. read more

Great vibe in this cool spot in Franklin Lakes. Place was crowded, excellent drinks and the staff is very friendly & accommodating. You can order food from Pazza which is right next door & it is delivered to you via waiter. Excellent perk & the food is delicious. Highly recommend! read more

Yes! Franklin Lakes finally has a bar! This is my third time at the bar. Every time is great. It is a terrific place to grab a drink with friends and just catch up. The bar makes a great spicy margarita. read more

This place is amazing. This is a must visit spot in Franklin Lakes., Franklin Lakes has needed a good bar, quick grab a Drink type of place but of course since it's in Franklin Lakes, you can't do it without style. This place is an amazing after work happy hour place or even just a low-key date night place. Keep in mind that the next-door pizza place can serve food to you so you really don't have to plan dinner somewhere else. This is a one stop shop for a perfect low-key date night for which you don't have to travel all the way to New York City. I am so excited for the spot to open up in our neighborhood and I can't wait to go there again!! read more

Loved this place! Went here for the first time and the staff there was amazing! I can be picky with drinks and Michael the bartender was so attentive in trying to find me something I'd enjoy drinking. Drinks were great, atmosphere was awesome but the service was incredible. I've worked the hospitality industry so I appreciate great service and friendly staff. Thanks for the pleasant experience I'll definitely be back! read more

Stopped in on Fri. at 6 & no one was there. Ordered 2 drinks-bill was $45 & this was supposedly during happy hour! No happy hour menu offered! Pazza was mobbed next door. Drink & service were good but NYC prices! read more

Expensive and Inconsistent! We have been here several times. It's a lovely spot, so we really wanted to like it; but there are just too many issues. The first few times, we chalked it up to the fact that it had just opened. But they have not been able to work out the kinks. Sometimes the service is good and other times it's not; Sometimes they have lovely food/light bites & sometimes they don't have anything. There is no rhyme or reason and it's very frustrating when you expect to be able to order something to eat with your drinks & and there's nothing available. I realize that this is a "liquor lounge" but every time we come, it's a different story! We were told to come on a weeknight for happy hour; that it was great; they had happy hour prices, food & entertainment but when we did come, the staff told us there was no food! The only thing available was guacamole. And based on several experiences , the manager (or maybe owner) has very poor customer service skills. We gave this place many chances and we will not be back. No wonder it's always empty. I don't know how they stay in business. It's a shame because the location is great and it had so much promise. read more

HORRIBLE!! If I could give ZERO stars I could. Thought it would be a nice spot to host a work party but it was a huge mistake. What an embarrassment! Upon dropping off balloons for the party I found out the AC wasn't working- messaged Natalia (the manager) about it and was LIED to telling me it was working!!!! - I have receipts! When we arrived about 15 min before the party start and it was ridiculously humid and hot inside I thought about leaving but couldn't find another spot on a Saturday night at 7:45 to accommodate 30 + people- I was trapped, just like they wanted. just wish I were told the truth and would have dressed appropriately and messaged my guests to do the same- Was lied to over and over about it. I clearly expressed my disappointment to Natalia, but wasn't heard- apps and drinks were ehh- luckily my employees, guests, lawyers, accountants etc who were in attendance understood it was out of my control/ but upon closing up- one of my guests who is in the same business as 513 spoke to Natalia (without my consent) and told her they should discount the price for me since everything was not up to par- or anywhere near my expectation she had previously promised- she approached me with disgust and told me that she would speak to me and not them- I apologized for them but was given an attitude about it- even though they were right. I was there a few weeks before to "check out the place with a DJ " and was told the owners daughter and friends took over and that it would never be that crazy again!!! Natalia messaged me about how she wanted to quit her job- but the owner begged her not to- again, I have receipts.... I should have trusted my gut and moved my party to a more reputable establishment like my wife requested/ My bad. When I tried to settle my bill, I was harassed and bullied by a male worker (I believe the cook) and I left and told Natalia in-front of the other patrons- to have her boss call me to settle up cause I would not be disrespected in that way. I had many guests there that were heated (in more way then one) seeing the way I was mistreated and I wanted to just diffuse the situation and leave. I was then called by the Franklin Lakes PD to come back and pay my bill or the owner would press charges. I told them I had NO problem paying my bill but will not be disrespected like that- and to have the owner call me- like I requested. Well, cowardly, the owner had me come back to settle up with his employees- by POLICE ESCORT.... which I did- but will NEVER return to this piece of garbage establishment again!!!! I should have seen the writing on the wall the weeks earlier- but was assured by Natalia she would do whatever it took to make my business engagement a success- which I would say was not- after having to ask my guest to please leave due to the aggression. Their loss though- I live in the area as well as 35 of my guests and most of them business owners themselves- ALL of whom will NEVER give business to 5-13..... especially when you can get better service at a 7-11..... Go ahead - try and come back with some witty comments- I have all the messages, and will gladly post them. You need to do ALOT better in a neighborhood like this. ZERO STARS!!! read more

Great addition locally in town to have a bar to socialize at and grab drinks at. Beautifully built and is a very attractive & upscale bar when you walk in. Wasn't super impressed with the mixology skills of the bartenders. Definitely something they can improve on! Get some craft cocktails on the menu and I think the entire town will flock here!!! Also some more live music or local DJs! That would be amazing. I'm a regular at PAZZA, so this seemed like an awesome bonus to be able to order their food and eat at Five13, but unfortunately I had many more errors on meals while ordering from Five13. I would rather just eat at PAZZA instead and grab drinks after dinner from Five13. read more

Met friends here and wasn't drinking since I was DD (friends were all buying drinks). Manager approached me and told me if I wasn't drinking I'm not allowed to be there, I offered to buy a Diet Coke and they said no I must go. The place was empty, made no sense when everybody else I was with was buying drinks and was willing to buy more, and not like there was anybody waiting to get in. None of us will ever be back, overpriced anyway. read more

Here on opening night. The location will throw you off a bit but totally worth a go! Great glassware, attentive bartenders, and decent crowd. The decor is just right, up scale but understated. Music could be ever so slightly louder, just a bit too much "chatter type of white noise." I'm excited to see what kind of craft cocktails they come up with, no menu like that just yet. Also, it looks like Italian comfort food is available from their sister location Pazza, which is a great perk! Definitely wishing this place lots of luck and hope it's a new home for all the social butterflies in the area. read more

We're told we have to go to the bar for service- every table around us was getting table service. Staff was rude and inattentive. Friend ordered a drink (lemon berry martini) and the table next to us had the same drink, we later went up and asked what she had ordered. (same drink) Clearly gave us straight vodka ( the drink was clear liquid with a strawberry) while providing the table next to us the same drink, yet made correctly (with lemocello, sour mix, and raspberries). Rude...Wish I could share a pic of the comparison of drinks. We will not be coming back. read more

Just what Franklin Lakes needed! A fun stylish bar perfect for a quick drink after work or a night out with friends. The owners are awesome people and the staff are too. Being able to order food from Pazza next door just makes it even better. Highly recommended! read more

I have had the best cocktails at 513 Lounge. The bartender Michael is witty, personal, and knows how to have fun! Highly recommend

They discriminated against me for being young. I'm 24 I understand they had to ask for ID. I order one beer and my friend gets back from the bathroom. I offer him my seat and this lady cuts me off out of nowhere. if you're not a snobby rich person from there dont go. read more

Stopped in last week to meet a friend for a drink. Cool atmosphere, attentive servers and staff, great wine list and the option to order food from Pazza is a plus! Excited to have a place like this nearby- will be back soon! read more

This place is amazing. Some of the best drinks ive had in a long time. The service was amazing they took great care of us and made sure we were having a good time. The food from Pazza made it that much better, an amazing collaboration between these two businesses. Our servers got to know us personally and gave us an individualized experience instead of treating us like just another tab. Our waiter Tony was such a stand up guy he was super honest and super kind. read more

stylish cocktail bar, nice option to meet up for a drink locally without worrying about a long drive or parking. Convenient option to order pizza or bistro-type food from the (good) next door restaurant. My only disappointment was that the limited cocktail menu didn't include any particularly creative drinks, including ingredients I wouldn't have at home. For $14-16 drinks I'd generally expect something a bit more unique and interesting - even something as simple as a creative infused simple syrup, or house- infused vodkas (Absolut citron for example could easily be replaced by something house-infused, for example). And also on offer were pre-made cocktails commercially bottled cocktails were also on the menu. Huh? However I'll give them plenty of COVID slack and look forward to giving them another try. read more
