I haven't been here in a while, and it's still my favorite place to chill, have some GOOD food, drinks, and amazing service !! Shout out to LOUIS! Attentive, and awesome! He makes the BEST old fashions!!! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice looking clean restaurant and bar inside the Courtyard Marriott hotel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's pretty much basic bar food with decent drinks. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a good place to lounge with friends and chat, with boardgames to play.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The chicken wings and pepperoni flatbread was OK. Come during happy hour between 4-6pm! read more

Went here after work for a quick bite with a friend. Firstly I want to start off by saying that service was really nice and effecianr! I left my debit card at the restaurant and they kept it safe for me which is always a good sign. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The dodgers were playing so it was a bit loud as people were cheering but over all it was a clean aesthetic environment![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was ok. I had the chicken strips and it had advertised like a Korean flavor but it wasn't showing up much and a bit on the dry side. Either way! I would probably try it again. read more

Five55 - Chicken strips - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Monterey Park, California

We came in on a Sunday evening and they had told us that they had just started making Sunday all day happy hour. For drinks we ordered the Japanese Old Fashioned ($10), and a couple draft beers ($6 each), and for food we ordered the Five55 Burger ($12 for burger only) and the Pepperoni Flatbread ($17) (the only item not from the happy hour menu). The drinks were great and it was nice to spend some time down there to just chill and relax and have a couple drinks. The food was okay, I would think it's a bit pricey for what you get, but it's more to keep from drinking on an empty stomach. Our servers were great. They kept checking in on us to make sure we were doing well. They were all so nice and were quick to bring anything we requested to us. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If I just want to chill and talk with some friends this is a nice place to hang out. It's not too loud in there and they even have some games to play[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. It's in a convenient location for me so it'll be a good spot to just hang out outside of my house. read more

I've been meaning to write this review because my wife and I have been coming to Five55 for a while now, and it's honestly become one of our favorite spots. We've been here to watch Dodger games, Lakers games, grab dinner, or just have a couple of drinks after work, and we've always had a great experience. **Parking** Parking is extremely easy here. You can park in the underground garage at the Marriott, take the elevator up to the main floor that is right in front of Five55. They also validate parking if you use the Marriott garage. If you'd rather not park there, there's plenty of parking at the Atlantic Square shopping center across the street, and it's only a quick walk over. **Atmosphere** This is without a doubt one of the best places around to watch live sports. There are TVs all over the bar, so wherever you're sitting you'll have a good view. One thing I really like is that they don't just play one game on every TV. If there's a Dodger game, Lakers game, UFC, World Cup, football, or multiple games happening at once, they'll have everything on throughout the bar so everyone can watch what they came for. One thing that really stood out to me the first time I walked in was all the Dodgers memorabilia and decor throughout the bar. Even if you're not there specifically for sports (like my wife who's favorite basketball player is Troy Bolton...), it's still just a fun place to hang out. **Service** The service is honestly what keeps us coming back, and a big reason for that is Max, the bar manager, and his staff, Lou, Ryan, and everyone else who works there. From the first time we met him, he was easy to talk to. We ended up chatting about sports, tattoos, and just random life stuff while sitting at the bar. He runs a great team, and every server and bartender we've had has been friendly and attentive. What really stood out to us was how knowledgeable he is when it comes to cocktails. My wife isn't much of a drinker and she's really picky, so ordering a drink usually comes with a lot of questions. Max never rushed her. He explained what was in each cocktail, what it tasted like, whether it was sweeter or stronger, and helped her narrow it down until she found something she'd actually enjoy. That kind of service is hard to find. He definitely went above and beyond what you normally expect, and it's one of the reasons we keep coming back. **Food** The food has honestly been better than I expected. I've had the LA Dog, Lemon Pepper Wings, and the Corn Riblets, burgers and friends, and they've all been really good. My wife has ordered the Miso Honey Glazed Salmon, Fish & Chips, and the Ribeye Bowl, and she's enjoyed every one of them. Everything has come out pretty quickly, and we've never had an issue with the quality. The menu has a a lot of variety and they always have seasonal offerings. **Drinks** We've tried quite a few drinks over the different times we've been here, and I honestly can't think of one we didn't like. My go-to is always the Espresso Martini. That's the drink I judge every bar by, and Max makes one of the best I've had. If a bartender can make a great Espresso Martini, I usually trust them with the rest of the cocktail menu. The Whiskey Sour, Old Fashioned, Paloma, Lychee Margarita, and Moscow Mule have all been excellent too. There is always a great balance of alcohol and the other components. If you are not a drinker like my wife, the staff can always recommend a good one based on your preference. Overall, Five55 has become one of our regular spots, and it's easy to see why. Great place to catch a game, really good food, excellent cocktails, and a staff that genuinely makes you feel welcome. read more

Xavier was kind, helpful, & gave us an all star experience. Came during the World Cup games - all tvs had the game playing with happy hour prices. Hidden gem. Thanks Xavier! read more

What an amazing spot! --especially for a hotel bar! Me and my friends came in accidentally for a World Cup game and Louis was stellar--also all by himself. The food was on point and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the atmosphere was better than expected.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 10/10 would come back again! read more

Came last night at 11:15pm. They close at midnight. As soon as the waiter saw us walk in, he gave us that look that he didn't want to serve us. He sat us and said last call is in 5 minutes. That's fine, we placed an order for 2 cocktails and a pitcher. He told us they are not doing pitchers because they are almost closing. Wtf? So we placed an order for a few beers which essentially was the same amount as the pitcher but it cost us more money. When the check arrived, we were not charged happy hour prices. I questioned him about it and he asked us "what day is today?". I had to remind the waiter that today, a Saturday, the place that he worked at, offered late night happy hour. Unbelievable. I used to come fairly often for drinks and bites. I am never coming back. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice restaurant and bar within the Courtyard Marriott hotel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were seated quickly and made it just in time for happy hour. Options for happy hour were pretty good and all of the drafts were included. If you're staying in the hotel, I'd visit for the convenience and the bar. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restrooms are clean and smelled great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The only food we weren't fans of was the wings. They were cold and not as flavorful. If I'd paid regular price I would've been upset. Staff service was nice and was given suggestions for drinks by the server. Also got some popcorn for the road for free. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Would be a cool place to watch sports on happy hour.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

OMG this bar is it! If I lived closer I would be here all the time! Everyone that I have brought to this bar has loved it! [[HIGHLIGHT]]They say this bar is nice![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Hands down the best lychee martini and lemon drop. The bartenders know how to shake the martinis up where you would for sure be like yep this is it. Good here is eh. If you go for anything just stick to the flatbread. But other than that drinks are amazing! My son had the old fashion and really liked it! This place is it! read more

The cheeseburger on the happy hour was excellent as was the asian pear salad. Our server Xavier was great! Warm hospitable good person

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Really nice ambience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff seemed disengaged considering there were only about 10 people in there during my visit. I stopped by for a drink, but decided to just get dessert and maybe circle back later for drinks when the crown picked up. I order the cookie dough brownie because the description sounded amazing. However, what I received looked pretty but fell flat. It's was definitely more cake than brownie or cookie dough. And didn't have much flavor in either category. I didn't return for drinks. read more

Came here with a friend on a random Tuesday night. We didn't realize that this was a hotel bar... you have to enter through the main Courtyard Mariott entrance, walk past the fancy Chinese restaurant and you'll find Five55. We both thought we got lost! I'd recommend street parking in the neighborhood as opposed to dealing with the underground hotel parking and paying. One of the servers offered us free, fresh popcorn in cute little bags, which was nice! [[HIGHLIGHT]]As another reviewer mentioned, this place felt like much more of a hotel lounge than a sports bar... quiet, low energy but a nice, more upscale ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were looking for a wine bar in the area and decided to come here, but unfortunately, they were out of almost half the red wines on the menu. The food, however, was really good! We ordered the fried artichoke hearts with aioli for dipping, and the flatbread with pepperoni, burrata and hot honey. I would marry burrata cheese if it were legal to do so, and this flatbread was delicious... the bread was a buttery, fluffy, focaccia-type and with so much flavor. Prices were on the higher side, but we enjoyed the food. I hope they consider a reverse/late night happy hour in the future! read more

Stopped by 555 on a weekday evening and was warmly welcomed by the hostess as soon as we arrived. Luis, our bartender, provided outstanding service throughout the night. He was friendly, attentive, and clearly very knowledgeable about cocktails and mixology. Our drinks were prepared quickly, and he made great recommendations. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The food was excellent, and the atmosphere was lively with great vibes for a Thursday night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and the service really stood out. I'll definitely be returning and would highly recommend checking this place out. read more

Saw the bright red 555 sign outside and decided to check it for out, I'm glad I did because I've been a regular since! Xavier is very welcoming and already knows my order.. it's a great hangout spot to watch a game and have a margarita, also the food is great read more

Honestly, I live in the neighborhood and I had been waiting to come and explore this place! I am glad I finally did :) I got the bbq wings and my friend got the flat bread Margherita and both were delicious. I saw a few choices on the menu, so next time , I will be exploring something else. Also, our server by the name of Mayra was amazing, she was very attentive, answered every question and provided great customer service and most importantly, she always had a smile. I will be coming here more often for sure :) read more

I'm a local whom has been coming here for years.. all I can say is phenomenal; the service is great, cocktails are great and food is amazing (particularly the skinny margaritas and lemon pepper wings are my favorite).. Xavier Mendoza always has such a positive attitude which makes the place even more charming!! Whether you are a local or here for a stay I definitely recommend!! read more

We had a graduation celebration and reserved the semi-private room and occupied 2 additional tables of 10. The five stars is for the service. MAYRA was our server and I am so grateful for how she made the experience so enjoyable and easy to manage. We had 9 different families and accommodated separate checks. NO questions asked. I typically hear it's limited to 2 or 3 bills, and you must this and that. She served each family efficiently, our orders were accurate and she was so attentive. The food and drinks were good. What stood out this experience was the service. This review is whole heartedly from a customer. I did not receive a free drink or food for the review, just good customer service. read more

PARENTS LOVE FIVE55 Hidden behind the dim sum restaurant inside the Marriott hotel, Five55 is now my husband and my favorite restaurant to go with our kids! Pros: - full bar- great cocktails - the food is GOOD! It's not the typical bar food, besides wings, burgers and onion rings their grilled salmon dinner was perfectly cooked! Flatbread pizza is bomb too - baby changing table in BOTH restrooms for mommy's and daddy's - lots of TVs playing sports - private room available with your own TV and board games. Perfect for your kids to run around inside - service is great. They are attentive and come by often to get drink orders There are no cons. Hence why I gave them a perfect 5-star! read more

Watched a world cup game here. 10/10 food, drinks, and service from Luis. Best hotel bar food and service I've had. Will return.

Just here to say...after a long day of travel we checked in & had to immediately get ready for a dinner. I asked my husband if he'd get me a glass of wine from the bar. He went to this restaurant (the regular hotel bar only had Chardonnay which I hate) and the bartender took the time to chill the glass with ice & water before she poured the wine. It was a very hot day & that crisp glass of white wine turned my whole life around. It's the little things. We stayed on 4/6 read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Never heard of a quiet sports bar but Five55 hit the spot in a part of town where restaurants are few and far in between.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A plate of Korean Beef nachos and chicken quesadillas were remarkably tasty as I was left wondering where the customers were hiding. In any case, a very strong four stars. read more

Tucked away, behind their Chinese restaurant. Nice lounge space for bar. Went to a catered eventually there. Food was OK, nothing special. It's about the same as the good for events if you use their's conference rooms. Staff was nice and helpful. Parking is underneath and has a 3 hour validation with the restaurants. A fine place for a meeting. read more

We came to happy hour on a Friday and it was nearly empty so we were seated right away. I'm not much of a drinker so I only ordered the short rib quesadilla except it was a more of a meat-dilla because there wasn't any cheese. Normally, I wouldn't complain but the meat was pretty dry and so salty that the cheese would've made it so much better and added a gooey texture to bring the short rib together. I liked that it came with both guac and cheese on the side. The ambience is very relaxing and the interior is spacious with varying tables for large groups and small ones. The service is also good with the waiters checking in on my group often asking if they wanted to order more drinks. read more

Came here to watch a game. Service is great from the hostess to the bartenders to the food servers. We sat at the bar and they were kind enough to switch the channel on our TV to the event we came to see. They have a good selection of beers on tap and the wings and steak fries were pretty darn good. Next time, you need to get out and watch a game, this is a good choice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's chill and not rowdy but have everything you need to enjoy your sporting event of choice on TV.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We stopped in during happy hour for a few cocktails, and they were great! Espresso martini was sweet but not too creamy. The glitter hearts in the foam were a nice touch! The old fashioned came with a stamped ice cube which was fun. I had the strawberry smash on HH for just $10 and this was delicious! Overall a very nice and upscale environment to enjoy a great cocktail in the area. read more

Excellent service, food is delicious and drinks, chef kiss! Went with a girlfriend since we were staying in the hotel. We arrived in time for happy hour (4-6pm). Xavier was our server and we asked him for suggestions and he did not disappoint with our drink, entree and dessert. For drinks, we had a Clase Azul Reposado on the rocks, Citraholic IPA, Gold Rush bourbon cocktail, and a Creature Comfort DTLA west Coast IPA. For food we had the tostada and dessert, the brownie. Delicious! What a gem of a find! read more

I came to my friend's birthday dinner and Xavier took care of us and he did a amazing job! He accommodated all our special requests. The food was super delicious! Ryan the bartender did a great job on my blackberry lemon drop! I will for sure be coming back here! read more

Pros: [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place is brand new and very nice, ambiance is a little quiet, and low energy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The cocktails are very good as well as their happy hour. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's never super busy so that's nice because you know you'll be able to get a place to sit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Cons: [[HIGHLIGHT]]Terrible to watch sports games! Not enough tvs, some of the TVs kept dropping signal during TNF, no joke literally right at the worst moment the tv would go to black and start loading.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They really need to figure that glitch out. Another time the tv timed out and turned off. The wings weren't great, Fries bland, onion rings super burnt, and the burger used to be better. Not sure what happened. The beer selection isn't the major brand beers, just alot of micro brew brands. Also, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the TV volume isn't loud so can really hear the games announcers at all.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff is nice and does their best, but they're used of it being slow so when it was really busy because of TNF they just couldn't keep up. You had to go the bar to get your order in, otherwise you would wait forever to get helped. If it's not busy then service is not a problem. read more

Happy Hour review. 4-6pm Mon- Fri. Parking underground with 3 hours free with validation. No boring intro story. Let's go: -Lychee Margarita $10. I like St Germain so decided to try this. With Patron silver, the cocktail could use less lime and I'm not sure it goes with the lychee syrup which tasted more artificial than it should have. Garnished with a canned lychee, the drink looks good and was fairly strong for $10. 3/5. -Belgian Blonde ale (Duvel) $6. The pour barely had a head and tasted strange, like missing the flavor. I feel like something was up with the draft or keg. -Japanese Old fashioned $10. Very sweet imo and definitely watered down as it was stirred with lots of crushed ice instead of an ice cube. -10 piece wings two flavors $15: lemon pepper and Caribbean. The Caribbean is a mango habanero sauce that's very sweet and not spicy at all which reminded me of orange chicken. Pass on this one for me. The lemon pepper was great and it was dry style. I would recommend this flavor for these juicy wings. Non HH wing price was $17. 3.4/5 -The burger only $10 is a smashed burger so the patty is on the thinner side and was slightly dry. The fixings and bun were good. 3.2/5 -Onion rings $7. Hard and a bit dry with really thick coating (from frozen I assume). Huge pass, we barely ate them. 1/5. Overall okay place for the happy hour hunters in MP. They had the game on many monitors no sound. Staff is very nice and attentive, well dressed and helpful so that's a plus! read more

The kitchen here is doing some heavy lifting. I had the grilled cheese and tomato bisque and it was perfectly cooked with that crispy edge you usually only find at high-end spots.

Great ambiance. Lovely seating choices. Great place to hang out for drinks and happy hour. We have not tried the regular dinner menu yet. But I hope staff read my review and improve what's lacking especially the soggy chicken wings Soggy wings described as crispy!! Not cool and dried out, awful looking carrots. Short rib quesadilla was VERY good. Better dipped into blue cheese dressing. Drinks. Japanese old fashioned. Good. -- ok. Pinot Grigio. Ok not great. Next day I tried the Sav Blanc. It's less sour so I liked it better. But clearly budget wine. Raspberry Bellini was good. Kids had the pepperoni flatbread. They did not like it. read more

I was staying at the Courtyard Marriot and saw an ad for Five55's happy hour in the hotel's elevator. I found Five55 located in the same establishment as the hotel, and it was a short walk across the lobby to the other side of the building. Happy hour went from 4-6pm, so I headed over to the restaurant around 4:30pm. There were a few folks at the bar countertop, but the main dining area was empty. I snagged a high chair with the other patrons. Bar staff was great. There were two bartenders holding down the fort, and they were both friendly and attentive. The bussers were really nice too. I ordered a Strawberry Crush off the happy hour menu but asked to modify the spirit with gin. I enjoyed the cocktail, which was fruity and sweet. I did end up getting a second cocktail, a Clover Club, post-happy hour later in the evening for a night cap. That was made well too. I had their smashed cheeseburger, which was highly satisfying. I thought it was going to come with fries since I've seen it on an online happy hour menu from Five55, but the burger came on its own. I ended up getting the side of onion rings from the HH menu, and they were great as well. The onion rings came in a huge portion, so this would be a great app to share. read more

The Impossible burger had a $5 extra charge which is ridiculous and when our food arrived it was stone cold and uninspired to say the least -- the bun hardly had any kind of sauce--the cold fries were ok but the tiny ketchup containers were just so wrong and the staff complained when we asked for more that they didn't have any-- all this for a $33 meal-- worse than fast food- simply unacceptable-- couldn't entice us back there read more

I dined in today at this location and it's my third time. Xavier recommended me the burrito because he said it was good. 40 minutes later I found out that he forgot to put it in. Everybody else finished their meal while I was still sitting there patiently. I asked max, the manager, if he could check in on my order. He made xavier come back to tell me that they forgot instead of himself formally apologizing. He didn't want to deal with it. Xavier gave me an attitude by asking if I still want it or not as if I did something wrong. I will not be coming back but I hope you retrain your staff read more

Delicious food ! Chicken melt, fried chicken strips , chicken Caesar salad & fries Tasty drinks: old fashion & margarita. Hospitable professional staff. Average prices.
