There’s a lot to like about 5 Ninth. First off is the landmark building itself. Three floors of rustic charm are complemented by huge black and white rock icon photos and six fireplaces. Exposed brick and unpolished wood round it out. Add to that a backyard space and a series of decks, and this is the house you always wanted. The attractive staff sports sneakers with dress pants. The crowd itself is a well-heeled bunch that knows its way around the huge wine list, but often opts for pricey specialty cocktails. It’s easy to forget that in addition to being a sceney hangout, 5 Ninth is first and foremost a fantastic restaurant where Asian fusion cuisine is the main draw before 10pm.
