Editorial Review for Five Point Cafe – by Paul Fontana
The Scene
The sticker on the cigarette machine reads, "Alcoholics serving alcoholics since 1929." Though partially based in fact, it's the self-deprecating attitude that's responsible for this watering hole's longevity. Dark, smoky and loud--especially in the evening--Five Point is that rare kind of spot where ashtrays are "cleaned" by dumping the contents on the floor, where the bartenders will axe a jukebox selection not to their liking and coasters occasionally whiz through the air. The floor is black and white, and so is the attitude--have a sense of humor or leave.
The Draw
Drinks are stiff and the staff is never shy, making this a welcome oasis for serious drinkers. The menu offers typical diner fare done right: Breakfasts are particularly strong, featuring endless hash browns that strike the delicate balance between crispiness and greasiness.

Don't listen to the negative nancy's below... this place rocks! We stopped in to load up on drinks before a concert and found the staff to be awesome and the regulars to be even more awesome! I'd love to go back or even reconnect with John and "Jack"! Why... why didn't I get email addresses! haha. Oh well, back in indy now. :( Thanks for entertaining us on our last night in town!

Avoid the extremely rude staff and very poor quality food. I'd rather get a convenience store hot dog!
