However I appreciated the efforts that the bar tenders made to keep everyone served! I had two tasty drinks, a French 75, which if you had not had before is a light and refreshing tasty drink! I love the hint of lemon! For my next drink, I had, well the drink is nameless, I told the bar tender that I am not pickey and to surprise me with a fun drink that came with the glass cover. I ended up with a tasty, coconut cream soda ish drink. This was a great experience and I would recommend checking them out if you are in the area

There is a door on the side of the bar that leads to a covered back patio with seating and a large table for people to sit around!

Loved it will be back for sure!

Interesting bunch but it made the night more entertaining. :) Danny the owner and Anna the bartender were great (hope I got those names right). Everyone made us feel welcomed. Danny even took my partner for a tour of the place. Drinks were cheap and the whole atmosphere there was great. I would definitely go back.

Stopped by Linebacker Lounge and had a really good time overall. It's exactly what you want in a…read morelocal Notre Dame spot--casual, welcoming, and full of character. The food was better than expected for a bar/lounge setting. Drinks were strong and reasonably priced, which is always a plus. Service was friendly and attentive, even when it got a little busy. You can tell it's a place people come back to regularly, and that says a lot!

Many better bars even if the linebacker is convenient due to its proximity to the stadium I would still much rather go somewhere like brothers. Expensive drinks that are watered down and expensive food that is ice cold when it gets to you. Security works by a herd mentality so even if you do nothing wrong they will forcibly shove you to the ground then remove you.

Was staying nearby and I was kinda hungry and it was pretty late and just asked the receptionist…read morewhat good food was open at hour. She told me about this place. Will say this def gave a young fun vibe in the inside. They were definitely playing some bangers!! If I'm honest I was blind so I couldn't see much but the vibes were amazing!! If I was able to see I would probably def enjoy the ambience more. Honestly I came for the food and not the bar itself lolz. Double cheeseburger 8/10 idk how you can mess up a cheeseburger but it tasted like a cheeseburger. The people were pretty nice and very helpful. Kinda sad that they had to still ID me for just food but hey it's bar so it's understandable lolz. If it was just food I would gladly east outside to not get ID'd lolz. But no complaints lolz.

I wouldn't say that anything was overly creative but sometimes you just need a solid cocktail in an elevated space. I'd rate it a 4/5.

We went for the Holiday Pop-Up and the vibes here are immaculate! We did go on a Friday night so it…read morewas busy, but honestly the service left a bit to be desired. 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!

After reading these reviews of this restaurant as we were staying for two days for the AC/DC…read moreconcert I was apprehensive but I am so glad I followed my gut to form my own opinion! We ate dinner here twice and snacks after the game and nothing was disappointing. First before the concert we had nachos and they were pretty good for a bar nacho only thing I said that I'd change is more homemade chips but that's just me being picky lol and they satisfied two hungry people! Now the real review is after the concert we had the chicken tender basket with fries and the fried green beans and they were so good. The chicken was tender and hand breaded and still juicy and I am so picky about my chicken! It was mouth watering! The next day we did dinner again bc nothing else sounded good! Once again without fail it was good! I got the chicken again because I am a creature of habit! My husband got the black and bleu burger and fries and we were not disappointed! The staff the first night even being Crammed and busy with the concert traffic were friendly and as fast as they could be! Also a great crowd for a busy night if you like a crowd! Food came out fast as well! Same as the second night! If we're ever in South bend we would eat here again and again! Highly recommend!

Pretzel appetizer was superb with the cheese sauce and poppy dressing. Burgers were well cooked and tasty and the side salads were plentiful and nicely chilled. Fish & Chips was a bit pricey for what it was, but tasty nonetheless. Guinness was properly poured and the Zombie Dust was ice cold. Service was lacking a bit, but the pub was so, so crowded. Will definitely be back.

The food: I had The Blarney Sandwich (Rueben Sandwhich) and it was absolutely amazing. Good music, good food, good beer prices!! It looks like this is the place to be on game day.

It was great service, great atmosphere and if you're visiting looking for a good authentic college bar to go to at Notre Dame, this is the place to be. Again, awesome place, it looks to be a staple of Notre Dame. Be there!
