Five and Dime is the brand new rooftop restaurant, bar and games place on top of Taco Diablo and Lulu's on Davis St in Evanston. Neither Lulu's or Taco Diablo is open yet but I imagine they will be soon. Five and Dime has been open a week.
It's a beautiful space with indoor and outdoor seating at tables, barstools, picnic tables, couches and lounge chairs. It's huge. There is a ping pong room with giant jenga and foosball, an outdoor bags area and three vintage pinball machines in their own super cool lounge room. Its like of like the patio at Parsons in Logan Square meets the Chicago Athletic Association Game Room and the food/drink seems to be at those levels too.
Had the cheeseburger which was two griddled patties with homemade pickles and grilled onions. Outstanding if a tad much at $14. Beer selection small but interesting with bottles of very rare Hickster from Scorched Earth Brewing in Algonquin and on tap from Sketchbook in Evanston. Interesting cocktail and wine lists .
This place absolutely rocks, there is nothing quite like it in Evanston. Looking forward to trying more of the menu which features one or two dishes from Lulu's (won ton salad) and Taco Diablo (fish tacos) as well as bar snacks and pub style food.
