Located above its sister restaurants Taco Diablo and Blue Horse Tavern, Five & Dime is one of Evanston’s most popular rooftop destinations. With a laid-back vibe, string lights, great drinks, and panoramic views, it’s the perfect place to catch up with friends, celebrate a special occasion, or unwind after work.

Five & Dime offers a creative drink menu—featuring seasonal cocktails, craft beers, and boozy slushies—paired with a casual food menu pulled from the neighboring Core & Rind restaurants. The space often hosts private events and large group gatherings, with room for everything from birthday parties to corporate mixers. When the weather’s right, the rooftop buzzes with energy, making it a local favorite for sun, skyline, and social fun.
