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! Then stepping off the deck leads you into the fire pit seating area where you can sit back laugh and have a drink! The owners are amazing people very friendly and funny! 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.

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.

I'd like to thank Chantel and our other server(sorry I didn't get your name), but she was a lovely lady who grew up in CA, you both were so wonderful to talk too. We ordered cheese curds, which were the best I have had in a long time! I got a bacon cheese burger and my husband got the sloppy Joe. Every thing was great. We probably sat in the place for 3 hours, drinking and eating and talking to the locals. There is not a more friendlier atmosphere and group of people. South Bend really is a wonderful time and I can't wait for our next trip out to visit my new local favorite spot.

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 ordered wings (decent size oddly two of them weren't sauced), fries and cheese curds. Ok, not great overall. Went to pay my bill and leave a nicer than warranted tip ($25 card and $10 in cash). Server came back and said the gift card "could not be honored at this time". The reason was they "weren't set up yet for those". I will not be returning. Oh, and I called the pet shelter to let them know what kind of donor they had worked with.

Our wings were somewhat undercooked and made my wife sick almost instantly. I ordered the most appealing beer on the menu, and it was just okay, as in I wouldn't order it again.

Star of the food show was the bread pudding - shared by 3 and we couldn't finish it. Star of the evening was waitron Kayleigh.
