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

What the lack in size they make up for in heart…read more Dennis who I assume is the owner along with his partner made us feel so welcome. I didn't get the bartenders name, but, he was great too. The Saturday night cabaret (cutest little cabaret in the basement of the bar) didn't go on, because everyone was exhausted, it was game day for Notre Dame. (52 to 0, you have a hard time calling in a contest....Irish ruled!) The men's room is very tiny, definitely room for only one at a time, but it is spotless. In fact the whole place is spotless.... They almost had us talked in to staying an extra night to have Sunday night dinner with them. I want to go back there soon.

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!

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.

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.

My brother takes me to Mitch's all the time because they are never overcrowded, they have 2 pool tables, dart boards and the staff is really cool. Plenty of TVs at the bar to watch whatever games happen to be on that night. Coming from NYC, with NYC prices in mind, I was pleasantly surprised to see everything so cheap! Whiskey was $4 and bottles were $3, how can you beat that! Definitely one of the best local bars in the area and they even have a jukebox so you can listen to whatever music you wanna pay for. Great place to ease back, chat with friends and enjoy a drink or four. Only negative is that they allow smoking inside the bar and I am a non-smoker.

My husband is a really big fan of their wings but today I decided to get the French onion soup and I was very happy.

Also, I can't forget to mention the exquisite espresso martini not every place smells how to make them in this place has it down!

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. I went during the week. Drinks: affordable and the place to stop by. There's a lot of chain restaurants, ignore them. This is where you want to be. 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!
