I was traveling for work and just drove past this establishment and gave it a chance, since I was starving. The place was pretty busy on a Thursday evening with a band. The bartender - The Amazing Jenn - was most excellent! After my first beer, she always remembered what I was having and was quite courteous. Food was excellent, and should I ever find my way back to Northwest Indiana, I will stop in and hope you do as well! read more

Baternder doesn't wait tables outside the bar. If you sit at a table you have to go to the bar and order food or drinks. I would recommend to put a sign up so patrons know to order at the bar and seat yourself and order at the bar. read more

Stopped in for lunch on a Friday afternoon. There were only a couple people in the place so had no problem get a seat at the bar. I ordered the one pound BLT and it was good. The only issue is the grease they are using for frying needs to be changed because you could tell it was used. They have lots of options for food and drinks. I think they have live music at night. They probably have 10 or so tables plus the bar. Overall not a bad place to stop to have a beer. read more

The food and service both were excellent. The wife and I can't wait to go there again. The atmosphere was nice and laid back. Very good. read more

Best Hamburger and chips in the city. Their 1bl bacon sandwich is also great. Can't wait to try something else from the menu.

Great food and super service! Turkey BLT is amazing! Service was wonderful. A great place to grab dinner. Will come back again!

This place is lucky I have to give at least one star. The blonde bartender, I have no clue what her name was but she was completely rude and definitely did not care about customer service. I came into this place with family and friends at 8 o'clock on 5 October so the owner can figure out who is working there , and hopefully FIRE HER!!!!!! I would never ever come to this place again nor will I ever recommend anybody; even the people I hate the worst of my life I would tell them don't come here read more

Ordered delivery and our food was awful. We ordered mini sliders & fries for our 2 year old and he wouldn't eat any of his food. The burgers was black and the bread was hard. The fries looked like they was cooked yesterday. Mine and my husbands burgers was decent, although they got our order wrong on what we wanted on it. It's a shame; burgers are hard to mess up, I can only imagine what the rest of their food taste like. I won't be eating here again. read more

Really nice place. Clean and social distancing. The "ONE POUND" BLT is just that. With fresh cut french fries it makes for a 3 lb. plate. Good staff and nice feel. We'll be back for sure. Only small bar around with an open kitchen until 9PM on Sundays. read more

Honestly, the best BLT sandwich ever! Prices are reasonable, friendly atmosphere, perfect grinders! (Not to mention the pretty faces!) Sports fans will LOVE this place. The bands that play here are awesome and sound great! Great tunes on the jukebox, too! They got a great selection of beers that you'll be sure that they'll have what you're looking for.

We hoped the positive reviews were the norm, but that was not the case. We walked in at 10:30 and sat there for 15 minutes and we never saw a single employee. We were looking forward to sampling your menu, but if your food was as good as your service, it probably sucked. read more

Best neighborhood bar for lunch in Hammond, IN. Whatever you order, you better get the Tater Tots. Though some of my friends like their excellent chips with their handmade burgers, a Bell's Two Hearted and Tots is my staple. Flat Rock has a wide selection of craftier brews and keeps them around based on what people are drinking. If you want something, ask for it. I will add another star after the wobbly, tattered chairs are replaced. read more

I sent my husband to find a burger near by and it was great ! I was so supervised with this delicious gourmet burger highly recommended look forward to dining in one day! read more

Usually come here for drinks but tonight we came hungry. The zucchini sticks were fried to perfection. Now I wish we didn't get an appetizer because the portions of food are HUGE!! My beef sandwich was fully loaded and came with stacks of fries. No way I could eat it all! My husband got a buffalo chicken sandwich and tater tots. He was happy that the tots were perfectly fried and his sandwich was good. Would come back here hungry again the food was great!! The waitresses are always friendly and there's usually a good crowd. Great place!! read more

Chill! Tasty food menu, locals that hang out here give it a laid back vibe. Beer on tap has a good variety. Definitely coming back! read more

Flat Rock Tap - Great beer on tap + tasty bar food - Pubs Near Me - Hammond, Indiana

The food at Flat Rock is... interesting. They now serve breakfast Monday-Friday from 7am. There is no menu and the waitress told us they had biscuits and gravy, french toast and eggs - over easy or scrambled. Mom asked for sunny side and the waitress said the chef didn't know how to make that. Huh? He did make them and they came with toast and bacon for $3.50. I ordered the BLT. It comes with - NOT KIDDING - a POUND OF BACON!!! I don't know how they can afford to make it for $6.75. Coffee was $1.64 but they ran out after we each had a cup so they gave us another beverage at no charge. Parking is a pain. There is a small lot and limited parking in back but the rest of the street is residental parking only. We tried to return for dinner but there was a party and it was LOUD. I have to admit the smoking is a turn off, especially at breakfast. I like the Flat Rock and will return for what looks like a great burger. read more

I was in the the neighborhood and I was looking to try something local. I r ad reviews at Google Maps and Yelp and decided to stop by here. Great decision! My pizza burger was really good with a lot of taters tots. Next time I'll be around I'll stop by again, read more

Flat Rock Tap - Quick bite after my son's game - Pubs Near Me - Hammond, Indiana

I love that this place has a veggie burger on the menu. I really love that it is also cooked well and always delicious. From what I understand (I'm a vegetarian) the rest of their food is pretty top notch too. My friends always get burgers and wings here. They have a great assortment of beer and even have Framboise on tap. Trivia on Wednesdays, live music on the weekends. The place is pretty chill and the bartenders are always really friendly. read more

A few random thoughts about a bar I frequent once a month or so: This place is usually pretty crowded, which I think it a good sign. The menu has all the traditional bar standards you'd expect to see, as well as a few surprises. I like the tater tots, wings, nachos, and GIANT soft pretzel. Seriously, six of us could barely eat this delicious, doughy monster. Almost anyone will find something they like to eat, unless they're vegan or super snobby. If you're a vegan food snob, you should probably avoid eating at just about any NWI bar as a general rule. Trivia on Wednesday night is usually a good time, but be patient. This isn't a fast-paced game of Sporcle. The trivia host is generally entertaining, but he definitely takes his time. The liquor options are vast, but the bartenders aren't super knowledgeable. Case in point, one bartender was absolutely mystified when I ordered Jameson on the rocks. "That's all? No chaser? Nothing to mix it with? Huh...never heard of that before." And when I asked for a refill, she laughed and said, "OK, but that's really different." When I came in a few weeks later, she remembered me and told the other bartender about the "weird" drink I ordered. It was clear she wasn't trying to be rude or insulting, but it still made me a bit self conscious. If you're into craft beer, they usually have at least one or two selections on tap worth trying (I got a Hopslam last time) as well as some cans and bottles you don't see everywhere. It might look like a Miller Lite/Coors Lite-only bar when you first walk in, but there's enough variety to please most beer fans. There's a separate private room in the back with a giant TV that can supposedly be reserved for small gatherings. I've actually tried to reserve it for my coworkers, but this seemingly simple task proved to be difficult, even though I called several days in advance. I guess you have to know one of the owners or managers. I like Flat Rock, especially for a Hammond bar, and am curious to try their breakfast menu sometime soon. read more

My husband got a carry out of the ruben balls that were on special a few months back and loved them so we knew we wanted to go there again. We stopped in for lunch and tried the burgers and they were terrific. We can see why everyone raves about them. Very good service and fun drink specials also. We will be back to try more menu items. read more

This place has pretty good selection for beer. constantly changing taps. good bartenders. If you live in Hammond, this is where all the cool kids (young and old) hang out. read more

My husband and I love this place for a cocktail/beer after a dinner out or just to hang for a bit. He loves the flat screen TV's & I love that they have Framboise Lambic on tap. The Jute Box is pretty good too with a mix of tunes to play! I do wish, however, that they had an outdoor seating area for those spring, summer, fall days!!! That would be divine! read more

I go here all the time but I live down the street and dont like to drive. The food has gone downhill the good chef left back in november. Currently there is one good chef im pretty sure he works during the day so if your going to eat look for a bigger Hispanic fella. Unlike some other reviews I enjoy the service maybe thats because I leave tips(To insure proper service). All in all a decent place wish they would hire proper chefs. read more

Food was nothing special, many bars have same quality, but the messed up thing was brittney the bartender told me she wouldn't serve me anymore drinks and not only was I sober but only had 2 drinks before she cut me off, I know they can legally do that but it was for no reason! not cool, anyways, I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

I order some wings pulled pork mini sliders and a double flat rock burger...the wings had no sauce, the sliders were dry with no sauce, and the burger was ok just dry I had to add a lot of mustard....so for $40 I wasn't that happy read more

Tacos really tasty along with the French fries! Real good service at a reasonable price.

Wow the young bartender girl who looks like shes 18 years old and doesn't belong there tells me after I had 2 shots and 2 beers that she wont serve me anymore, that is so rude to say to a customer, I could understand if I was falling around drunk or being balligerent and loud or angry or something, but I was just sitting there talking with my friend, plus all I wanted was 1 last drink before I was on my way, no way I would ever get food or drinks at this crappy place again. Plus the food tastes like crap, thanx for you hospitality read more

Arrogant bartenders who are terrible at their job. They are only concerned with the single drunks who go in their to drool over them. Alcohol is expensive. Drinks are weak. Some craft beers are stale. Food is gross and so are the cooks. Also their are always off duty douche bag hammond cops there. read more

Unlike most bars in Hammond, this one is modern and is a cool place. Kitchen closes early, but would go again.

I stopped in to try the hamburger. Got it to go. It was very dark in there. Hamburger was great in the Schoop's and Rick's Grill style. A touch high on price, but it was a great burger and the tator tots instead of fries was a great choice. I miss Shamrocks Tap. I also miss drinking in public. Too old for that now. read more

I enjoy the atmosphere they're people keep to themselves bartenders are nice and friendly food is great and the drinks are made just the way I like them read more

Passed by here everyday, finally stopped in. We got the burger, blt sandwich, and wings. Burger was very good, blt was awesome! They really put a pound of bacon on there! and the wings were good, came with about 10 very meaty wings. The only was that I wish they were more crispy, it was kinda like eating soft goosebump skin, but they were still good. Also whoever was bartending that night, cute girl with blonde hair- I have to give her props- it was just her and it was a full house and she handled it well, and gave quick service! read more

frock has a great beer selection, open mic night and live entertainment. always good times. they also have a great little kitchen with excellent food and daily specials. make sure to bring your id. read more

Best bar in NW Indiana. Incredible prices on both food and drink. Lovely atmosphere more reminiscent of a neighborhood bar in a trendy Chicago neighborhood than anything you'd expect to find in NW Indiana. read more

This place is a good alternative bar to go to during the week. The staff is always friendly. The food is good. They always have the game on. But there is almost nowhere to park. Not having much parking is what keeps my friends and I away from coming here often. Especially on the weekend. read more

Nice neighborhood Bar & Grill. Good food. Large portions. Didn't have any problem getting a to-go container for unfinished food (unlike another reviewer). My cardiologist will not be pleased, but definitely coming back for their chicken wings and tater tots. read more

Flat Rock Tap combines an extensive beer selection with excellent food and great bartenders. The atmosphere is comfortable, the people are friendly, and the live music is top quality. In my opinion, Flat Rock is the best bar in the area. read more

Flat rock is your typical neighborhood bar. That bar that you and friends meet up to have a drink but the plus about this bar is their craft beer selection and their food. They have about ten to twelve beers on tap and switch out two or tree every month and another thirty in bottles.They have really good food for a bar. They have great burgers and a good selection of sauces for the wings! I've heard their BLT is good, I've never tried it. They have a pretty chill crowd in there. I've been there alone a couple times, never had a problem striking a conversation up with an individual. I was going to give them 4 stars because they don't have Patron. They have Don Julio but no Patron.....that's Busch league...... but i gave them the 5 Stars because they made it a smoke free bar!!!! Overall its a great place to go with your friends for a chill night if you want have a tasty beer and some good food and not have all that cancer smoke in your face. read more
