“Loved the roof top experience and the large portions. And our server was great!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Hosted a birthday party in the event space upstairs for my wife. It was seamless. The food was amazing. The service was spot on. Just a perfect venue for a delicious and laid back event. Zoey was GR8. Will use Five & Dime again. Plus we just love the food. a great experience.”
“Hip rooftop bar with burgers & other pub food. Very friendly staff.”
“Went to Five & Dime last night to celebrate a birthday and had an absolute blast. The atmosphere was fun, lively, and the kind of place that makes you want to stay longer than planned. Our server was amazing—I wish I had caught his name (reddish hair, glasses… if that narrows it down!). For context: I come from a family of self-appointed comedians, and while we think we’re hilarious, our jokes don’t always land well. Somehow, our server handled us like a total pro—always smiling, laughing along with us, and never once making us feel like we were “that table.” He rolled with every joke like a champ and honestly made the whole night even better. Great food and atmosphere are important, but service like that is what makes people come back. Five & Dime, give that guy some recognition—we’ll definitely be back!”
“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!”
