Rooftop, great ambience. Good quality of food. Around $50/person (no alcohol)…includes desert. Big BBQ ribs, nice salad and amazing butter cake. The ambience make it spectacular place to re visit. Thank you.

So cute and a great little rooftop. Restaurant was busy but the service was good. Zoie was our server, and she was great. Had the Beyond burger and the Lulu’s salad, which is always a winner with that ginger dressing. The OG Margarita was excellent. I wish that you had a choice to get all the items listed when you go to the QR code to view menu. These are 3 restaurants that are all located together so when I’m at the Five and Dime, I also see the other two restaurants listed and food on menu for Taco Diablo and Lulus but those items are not available to order. Good marketing but slightly confusing. That being said, great rooftop, excellent atmosphere, and service. Would not hesitate to go again.

My parents were in from out of town and wanted to go somewhere that pleased all. This place was awesome. Started at the rooftop of five and dime for drinks and a view while we waited for our table downstairs. We were seated on the Blue Horse Tavern side and we loved the ambiance! The menu is the same through out all restaurants so it was nice to have variety. Our server Derrick was super nice and when I asked for recommendations was happy to let us know his favorites. Coming back for sure when the weather turns! 10 out of 10.

A friend and I stopped in for a drink. We were seated promptly, and had great service. The ambiance was great – wonderful rooftop patio with some propane heaters to get rid of the chill. Drinks are a bit pricey, around $15, but you’re paying for the atmosphere. The old fashioned was great. Great place to stop in for a drink, will be back.

I am so glad I found this rooftop restaurant! It’s such a cute place to grab drinks at and snack on some appetizers, and its so much closer than downtown Chicago!! The food and drinks we ordered were delicious. We were seated right away on a Sunday afternoon without any reservation. It was an overall wonderful rooftop date! Give it a try!

They offer a decent food menu, a great drink menu and a fantastic location/view. The prices are slightly high, but the portion sizes are big & plentiful.
We had the Lulu’s Ginger Chicken Salad, BBQ ribs, Nachos and Double Cheeseburger. The drink pictured is called “Yes, Please”, and that’s exactly what it makes you say after one sip!

Pretty cool spot. Rooftop is spacious. Servers are welcoming and friendly. The menu has a lot of options. You can order food from Five and Dime, Taco Diablo, or Lulu’s. I ordered the Tuna Poke Bowl. It was huge! Lots of food and it was good. The fish was fresh. Everything was well seasoned. It comes with a large piece of tempura shrimp, which honestly wasn’t too great. Tasted like more breading than shrimp. The rest of the bowl was great though. The drinks were decent. The New Friendship was strong and well made. The Maple Old Fashioned was good, but sugary. The whole place was very clean. Restrooms were clean. Casual and chill vibe. Great spot to hang out and grab a drink and appetizers. Paid street parking available nearby. I would recommend this spot.

Great lunch spot – good options for food and drinks, friendly service, and nice patio seating in nice weather. Food was mostly very good (chicken on the salad tasted of old oil).

For those that love the outside dining, this is a fantastic place to enjoy great food and drinks on the rooftop! Fried oysters, tuna poke, burger & ribs — with a flan to finish the meal.

In town from Nashville. Great vibe on the rooftop with exceptional service. Highly recommend the nachos for the table, a warm butter cake to split with your neighbor, and any salad if you’re still hungry!
Also, the maple old fashioned is a recipe I hope to recreate back home!
