I do understand that they serve specialty cocktails, so maybe that's why everything took so long and we were in a large group. However, when my drink was empty, the server took orders of the people sitting next to me at my table and then walked away without asking me if I wanted anything. I had to flag her down later for another drink, which I usually feel rude for doing. Overall, it just felt like the servers weren't very attentive, but the drinks were good and the people that had food liked it so I would come back!

This place looks like it hasn't changed since 1975. The overwhelming smell of air fresheners was probably hiding something but oh well. The beer prices are phenomenal. The prices on Notre Dame game days were even better. This place is the epitome of a dive bar and I enjoyed it.

Am I exactly sure what "not Red Bull" is? No Do you really ever know what you are drinking at a dive bar? Also no The shit was delicious and got the job done, what more can you ask for? If you are looking for fancy complicated drinks with umbrellas drinks or those little onion things, this isn't your spot. This place is a dive bar with a fun atmosphere and cheap drinks. You get exactly that.

Yesterday, we had a birthday party at the FIre Fighters Hall. Being my first time there, I was…read morepleasantly surprised by the cheap drink prices. I was drinking a tall absolute, madori, and orange juice which ended up being only $4. Wow!!! I'm in love. Not only were the prices cheap, but they served perch which was out of this world. The fish was moist and perfectly flaky with a salty batter which gave the fish a delicious flavor. Then, I saw the pull tabs and the fun began. Our party was at least 100 people and there was plenty of room in the hall for all of us. I enjoyed my time there.

I know there are some changes to come but the menu change is already here and Delicious! Plenty of new menu offerings to cover a wide range of cravings. From wings and garlic bread to house made kettle chips and a great 1/2 pound Burger!! I look forward to many more nights here spent listening to local bands under the patio lights and night sky! This evening we ended up getting the Philly Cheese Steak and fries! ( all sandwiches come with house made kettle chips. Fries are a small up charge) either option is the perfect choice! We also ordered the Hot Ham and Cheese and the Grilled Chicken Sandwich! We will definitely be back again!

Hop Station was a highly recommended place to stop at so we met some friends here. The drink choices are a solid win. We had a few of the ciders and beers but I was hung up on the Key Lime Pie fruit beer. They had pizzas that were fan-freaking-tastic! We tried the Galaxy, the El Dorado, and the Pineapple Belongs on Pizza. All three of them were so good!!! The staff was incredibly helpful and fast getting the food out and we LOVED the layout of the bar and the choice in the music. Definitely one of my top places to check out in the South Bend/Mishawaka area and beyond.

The service was good and the place was clean: I ordered the Pub Spuds and that's were the food started to go wrong the menu list an half order of pub spuds and a full order but the catch is the half order and the full order have completely different ingredients between them which doesn't make any sense so I ended up with some cold blue cheese covered fries and they were missing there bacon bits as well. I wish the server would have pointed that out because it's a very confusing way to list an item on the menu.
