    Great place for a business meeting as we had great cocktails and a quiet place to have a conversation. Our server was amazing and we felt he was just for a few tables and was always coming around to make sure we are ok,. Would come back again.

    Char no. 5 serves incredible, flavourful, perfect cocktails. Do not doubt the quality of this bar and its' bartenders. If you appreciate an old fashioned, or Manhattan, this is the bar. And their Duck a l'orange was stunning. Yes, it is a cocktail. They select many fine and rare ingredients for their drinks. The presentation with stemware or other crystal was excellent. And the balance in the drinks was perfection. Hard to exaggerate how much we enjoyed our experience with Char no. 5. It was worth more than we paid. It's what you should expect from the best cocktail bars around.

    Low lights, smooth drinks, and a vibe that says "we don't rush here." It felt like a laid-back speakeasy tucked away from the city noise. Perfect for an after-hours wind-down—or pretending I'm in a noir film ordering mysterious cocktails.
