Don't Plead the Fifth: 5 Things to Know Before You Head to Anaheim's Original Rooftop Restaurant and Bar

Have you ever been to The FIFTH Rooftop Restaurant & Bar? It is Anaheim’s original open-air rooftop spot located directly across the street from Disneyland® Resort. Perched atop Grand Legacy at The Park, The FIFTH offers a 5,000-square-foot outdoor space for great food, craft cocktails, and incredible views.

Whether you are dropping in for date night, winding down with friends, or looking for an elevated spot to catch the Disneyland® Resort fireworks, here are 5 things you need to know for your first visit: 

1. The Disneyland fireworks views are the real deal

The FIFTH bills itself as having a front-row seat to the Disneyland® Resort fireworks, and it delivers — it's one of the best places to watch the fireworks without a park ticket. Check the official Disneyland® calendar for showtimes before you book, and remember that the shows can be canceled for weather or wind. Pro tip: aim to be seated 30 minutes before showtime so you're not still ordering when the sky lights up, and make a reservation to guarantee the best seat.

2. Reserve ahead — Seriously

Reservations aren't required but are strongly recommended, especially on fireworks nights; walk-ins are accepted only on a limited, first-come, first-served basis. You can book up to 30 days out. Groups of 7 or more should email info@thefifthoc.com, and the host team will reach out to help.

3. Happy hour is a stealHappy hour at this Anaheim rooftop bar runs from 5 to 7 PM on weeknights, with $8 house beers and wines, $10 well cocktails, $10 Old Fashioned, and $10 strongly recommended margaritas, plus discounted FIFTH Bites like guacamole, queso dip, and ahi poke tacos. In a neighborhood where a bottle of water can feel like a splurge, that's a win.

4. The menu has a sense of humor

Order a "Let That MANgo" (vodka, mango and peach schnapps), an "I'm Your Huckleberry," or the "Attitude Adjustment." This fall, spooky seasonal sips like the Boogie Man Punch and Jafar's Return join the lineup. Bourbon lovers should ask about the allocated shelf, which has included bottles like Pappy Van Winkle and George T. Stagg.

The California-inspired menu runs from a 14-oz prime ribeye and pan-seared salmon to chorizo mac and cheese, Baja fish tacos, and a crafted bacon burger. Save room for the Cookie Mugster — a warm chocolate chip cookie with ice cream that we can make boozy for our 21-plus guests.

5. Weekends come with a soundtrack

A DJ spins every Friday and Saturday from 8 PM, turning Anaheim's original rooftop bar into a weekend hotspot. There's no official dance floor, but dancing is absolutely allowed — so if the fireworks put you in a mood, go for it.

FAQs

Can I see the Disneyland fireworks without a park ticket?

Yep. Your dinner reservation is your ticket. Just double-check Disneyland's schedule first, since the show is weather-dependent.

Can I bring my own birthday cake?

You can! There's a $25 outside dessert fee, and the team will store your cake, cupcakes, or cookies until it's time to sing.

Can I rent the rooftop for a private event?

You can. With 5,000 square feet of open-air space, The FIFTH is one of the most unique private event venues in Anaheim, hosting everything from corporate mixers to weddings, either rooftop-wide or in a private section. Inquire here for your next private event!

Will I be cold up there?

It's an open-air rooftop, so evenings can get breezy. Cozy firepits help, but bring a light jacket, especially in fall and winter. We also tent for rain in the wet seasons!

It's closed on Mondays

The rooftop opens Tuesday through Sunday starting at 5 PM, and stays dark on Mondays. Hours can shift for private events, so check The FIFTH's calendar or @thefifthoc social accounts before heading over.

Parking has a smart workaround

On-site parking is $17 and limited. The savvier move: park at Anaheim GardenWalk, about a 5 to 10 minute walk away, and get up to three hours free with FIFTH validation.

Is it all ages?

Yes, it family friendly until 10 PM, then the rooftop becomes 21+ only.
