Five & Dime

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!

Wheelchair user seal of approval! Unfortunately, the elevator was broken when I was there, but the staff was AWESOME. They explained that they'd had a repairman out earlier, but due to the holiday weekend they couldn't get the part to fix the elevator. Several staff members were there to carry my chair, and I was able to use my canes to walk up the stairs. At the landing halfway between floors, they offered to bring a chair so I could rest. When I declined, the hostess came running down to tell me they didn't have a table ready yet, because she didn't want me to have to go all the way up the stairs yet if I didn't need to. I was there for a party, so it didn't matter, but I appreciated the proactive approach! Once upstairs, I had no problem getting around in my chair, including getting in and out of the bathroom. When it was time to leave, a staff member carried my chair downstairs and waited with it until I was ready for it. Everyone was just the right amount of helpful, and they were all sincerely apologetic about the elevator being broken. Thank you for making me feel safe and welcome!

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.
