I enjoyed the vibe at this establishment during brunch hour and the food was definitely delicious with decent portions. Being that the venue is split between a restaurant side and a bar side the music from the bar side was a bit too loud into the restaurant side. Service level is where the ball was dropped here as it seemed as though sufficient staffing was in place. If I may recommend the management team should also play a role in assuring guest are enjoying their experience. I’ll definitely be back to give them another try and encourage anyone looking for a lively and delicious brunch experience to give them a try.

This is a great place, specially for the environment. Tuesdays is a great latin party, with people from all nationalities. Free classes are awesome, they start around 8:30 pm. Then, because of the class, they have an awesome colombian band, and everybody is open to dance with strangers because the icebreaker of the class. 100% recommended

This place was a sweet treat to conclude my celebratory moment. The food was wonderful. Whomever is in the back frying the chicken has a special place in my heart. The libations were on point and I was relieved the music was kept to a nice level. The restrooms were clean and the staff were welcoming and attentive. I would recommend!

Five Central is a good choice for a good time. The D.J. is always good and the live bands are such a great choice for a good night out. The drinks are good and the service is also pretty good.
I have not had any food here so I can’t comment on that and the parking is okay when you can find a space on the street. Overall it’s a great choice of a place to choose if you want to hang out and hear some good music and meet a variety of great people.

Great vibes, music, and food! I tried the fish sliders, crispy Asian shrimp, and cobb salad. They were all delicious! The Kettle One Expresso Martini was my favorite. They also have multiple areas inside, including a restaurant and a sexy cigar lounge for those who spoke. And four bar areas so you don’t feel crowed out. I will definitely be coming back often.

Five central was such an amazing experience and fun time without all the unnecessary drama. I came here with friends— the food was great and the music was BOMB! Literally from the time you pull into the parking lot valet takes extraordinary care of you and your car. We paid $40 for VIP which allowed us to keep our car alongside the building which was great when it was time to leave. They have regular valet for $20 as well which a few of my friends partook in— it is a wait for your car yet they were able to wait with me until their cars came. Overall this place is nice, the crowd is lovely and the food is finger licking. Come try it for yourself.

I visited Five Central on multiple Tuesday nights for the social dancing. It’s part of the current Spanish music scene in Houston. They have live bands, and the crowd is pretty mixed—all ages show up. It can definitely get hot and stuffy at times, so be ready for that.
They have two bars. The drinks aren’t expensive, but the service isn’t the fastest; you might end up waiting a bit to get served. The dancing area is okay, but it can be difficult in some spots because they have rugs on the floor. On the plus side, there is plenty of free seating available if you need a break.
The level of dancing is decent; good dancers attend, but it’s also beginner-friendly. I noticed beginners coming for the bachata lesson and social dancing. I think the class starts around 9 PM, but you should call and double-check that time. Parking is a pain—the parking lot is super tight. Honestly, you’re better off skipping the lot entirely and just parking on the street a block or two away.

I popped in to this restaurant for brunch on the Saturday after NY. Surprisingly, I was the only person there. I ordered the breakfast tacos. They were stuffed with plenty of the good stuff: eggs, bacon, potatoes, etc. I just wish I would have asked for cheese. The menu had plenty to choose from. I will be back.
