Drinks are a little pricey but all the games are free once you purchase drinks. We went with our adult kids after a dinner out, fun spot for drinks after dinner. Loved that there was a good sprinkling of all generations there. Service was a little disappointing, I'm middle aged now and bartenders were far more interested in servicing the 20-30 yo. Crazy bc I can afford to leave a healthy tip.

Current menu as of Oct 2019

Full size versions of the Clyde. It's absolutely delicious- friends that hate gin still liked this enough to order their own.

Parking: There is parking for this venue. It is limited but you can usually find a spot. Service: Everyone that works there has the attitude that they don't really care if you are there are not. I'm not sure that they want to be there. They are not attentive to your needs. Food and Drink: Mostly your standard beers and when it comes to mixing a cocktail the bartender that night needs to learn how to mix a proper drink. The food is average at best. They say they great pizza but from my experience it was nothing special. Atmosphere: Let's start outside... The marquee out front is rarely updated so it's usually not accurate and they can't even be bothered to replace all the burnt out bulbs so at night you can't even read it. Inside it needs a really good cleaning and fresh paint. Everything seems a bit run down and dated. It has a big stage but I have never seen a great local band there. Overview: There are a lot great place in the area with great food, great customer service and is clean. My advice is to simply not go there, you will have a better experience almost any other place. read more

Nice little bar with a great atmosphere. You wouldn't expect much looking at it from the outside, but it's actually pretty awesome. From an entertainment standpoint, I would say it's on par and even ahead of much bigger venues. Hed PE, Alien Ant Farm, John 5, Saving Abel, and Black Stone Cherry are just some of the bands that played there in 2015. Unlike bigger venues though you actually get up close and personal with the bands. The food is very good, with different specialty items such as manicotti and brisket every week, on top of the already large menu. The food isn't some store bought nonsense; Sandie (or mom as the locals know her) makes her food from scratch. The pizza is nothing to shake a stick at either, I'd rank it among the best pizza I've ever eaten. The bar staff are very friendly and welcoming, even the security. From the first time you go in, you don't feel like just another customer. They make you feel like family. Whether you're just passing through on business, or a South Bend native, I would recommend stopping in and taking a look for yourself. read more

They would need to fire the Security Guard and the woman that was in charge. The minute I walked in there with my family I knew it wasn't going to go well. I'm from Chicago and went with my family. They were racist and accused my grandson of something he didn't do. Then ended up telling the host they put US out because we were racist well I tell you that they were both racist right off the bat. If you're black don't go there and drink, entertain or do anything. We were treated badly and very unkind and we have video to prove it. If I could give no stars I truly would. Thanks Steve you asshole I can't tell in fact I see you too as not just an ass but also I see you are racist too and you make it where nobody can respond to your punk ass. You look like the butt of a cow. Hey make it so people can respond back to your racist behind instead of having to go back and edit the review. I'm sure you will be crying like a little bitch and suck this read more

The newer menu is really great - I'm a huge fan of "comfort food" so the chili and mac & cheese are at the top of my list, along with the fish & chips. I personally don't like hot dogs but my husband loves the Chicago and the Francheezie. The pizzas with the new cheese are fabulous too - like I said, comfort food! Of course you can order them any way you like, but if you're looking for a bit of a change, try the bbq chicken (my fav) or the buffalo. This place has done a really good job to update the interior and make sure it's deep cleaned, which I really appreciate since Covid... and it looks like they just redid the outside patio as well, although I haven't seen it in person yet. Looking forward to drinks on the patio when it gets warmer! read more

We weren't greeted warmly, which normally wouldn't matter if the service and food made up for it. It didn't. After waiting quite a while just to get started, I even asked my sister if she wanted to leave. She said, "Not yet." After waiting even longer, I asked again, and she replied, "We're in too deep now." When our food finally arrived, my sister's meal had to be sent back. As the waitress walked away with it, I accidentally spilled what was left of my lemonade. The spill wasn't acknowledged by our waitress, and she never asked if I'd like another drink. Thankfully, another employee eventually helped clean up the mess and brought me a fresh lemonade. My sister's corrected meal sat ready for more than 10 minutes after we heard the kitchen bell before anyone brought it to our table. Because of the poor service, I left no tip and wrote "0.00" on the receipt. The waitress had also taken my credit card to the back to process the payment instead of running it where I could see it. Later, I realized my credit card was missing. I immediately called the restaurant and was told it wasn't there. I locked the card, and the following day multiple attempted charges were made on it. While I can't say for certain what happened, the timing was extremely concerning and left me with serious doubts about how my card was handled. I rarely leave negative reviews, but between the poor service, long waits, lack of attention, and what happened with my credit card afterward, I cannot recommend this restaurant or it's choice of Friday night live entertainment.
