Sunday was the last day of business for Five & Dime Ale House, a popular pub on Hampden’s Avenue, the restaurant posted on social media after closing time.
The former G.C. Murphy five-and-dime shop on 36th Street was re-imagined as a neighborhood tavern nearly seven years ago, opening in the fall of 2016. The two-level ale restaurant, which offered American fare among brick walls and a retro vibe, is owned by the 206 Restaurant Group.
The ale house also offered a host of beverages from fellow 206 properties Oliver Brewing Co. and Chesapeake Cider Co., which are based in the Claremont-Freedom neighborhood.
The Severna Park-headquartered restaurant group also owns the Pratt Street Ale House in downtown Baltimore, JB’s and Park Tavern in Severna Park, Donnelly’s Dockside in Arnold and the Ale House Columbia.
