Great place and a great time! Bartenders and staff are top notch and the family that owns it are wonderful people.

Love Corbys! Their pizza is always a hit no matter the time of day, or night! Atmosphere is always great, the bartenders are always so nice and funny, and I cannot wait to see their new addition! read more

Great place to pregame and get good drinks that are well poured. Good music and looks to have a nice event space.

The best pizza! The best karaoke singing bartender! Cool vibes all around! Will def visit again!

No-frills bar experience closely tied to the Rudy film. I had a Guinness here and it was great. The bartender was so nice, knowledgeable, and attentive. Plenty of street parking here during the summer when the ND school year isn't in full swing! read more

Fun place nice staff , reasonable priced food and beverage. Close to downtown not Notre Dame

Nothing Irish about this bar. The beer is warm, the toilets don't flush and the bouncers smell like low tide. Avoid it like the plague

I'm the first to admit that I was skeptical when I heard that Corby's was adding a pizza kitchen, but the added bonus of going smoke-free was an incentive to check it out. A group of us were there for the smoke-free kick off and decided to check out the food as well. The menu is small to start and features homemade pizza and a couple of sandwiches, including a meatball sub. We ordered a large pizza, which was huge, with sausage and black olives. The crust was thin and perfectly crisp, topped with homemade sauce and an impressive homemade sausage that had a nice little kick. Another in the group ordered the meatball sub, which was huge! Homemade meatballs topped with the homemade sauce and cheese then backed in the pizza oven. Definitely worth checking out! read more

I had the most terrible experience at this bar, a group of friends and I wanted to just have a good night, and enjoy a drink or two. We all respected the mask rule and were very very respectful of everyone there. We ended up just chilling outback, when all of a sudden one of the bouncers came back. ( I figured he was just checking in us, and making sure we were all good) then all of a sudden he "wanted to ask me a question" and pointed forwards an area that nobody else was at. Just me, no body else at the table. Feeling very uncomfortable ( being a female) I said he could just ask me while I was sitting at the table. He refused and kept asking. I have never felt so uncomfortable in my life. One of my guy friends asked him what his problem was and he started to get really defensive, while just really trying to protect me from this weirdo jerk. And of course he kicked us out, just because he was defending me. I WILL NEVER EVER RETURN TO THIS BAR. 0/10 read more

Went tonight against better judgement. Corbys has never been great....tonight was tolerable. For some odd reason this place stays fully Domerized even after Eddy street was built, and the East race revitalized w new hospitality businesses. Corbys has a great location etc. It just isnt for people over 30. read more

Absolute worst humans working here. If you're looking for some fun on the weekends and want to grab drinks please go anywhere else in town! The doorman are judgy and try and abuse their powers. They have no problems letting minors in but are concerned with grown men's jeans... The food sucks too. Just go to brothers or finns. Trust the local. read more

This is my favorite bar of all time. LOVE the staff and vibe! The pizza is also phenomenal

Pool, darts, punching machine, basketball, and golden tee available to play. Also, they have corn hole on the back patio. Good prices and service. read more

Stopped in for drinks and to play darts and pool. The place is large and was completely empty on a Monday. The one bartender was friendly and took care of us. The pizza smelled great and look tasty but we ate before we came over. We will definitely be back to try some pizza on our next visit to the area. Pretty interesting that Rudy was filmed here as well. read more

It's cool pretty much just a bar around the college area of Notre Dame. Had fun, but initially drinks were crazy expensive like 7 bucks for a beer, I guess it became happy hour later or they figured we were locals because we started buying pitchers for about 9 Bucks after that first round Got some cheese sticks they were okay, super heavy garlic. Famous because Samwise gamgee came here and filmed a movie about the Irish. Cool to go and say I've been there once. Next time I'll go somewhere else. read more

Corby's Irish Pub - neon sign - Irish Near Me - South Bend, Indiana

Typical college bar with a little history. This was Rudy's bar from the movie. Came in after the ND VT football game for some dinner and a ton of drinks. Ordered a few pizzas and sides. It's tough for a NJ girl to judge pizza so I'll leave that out. The bartenders were nice and kept us hydrated. Is a great spot for a group of people with tons of seating. read more

Great local drinking hole in South Bend with clearly a Notre Dame theme. Good for sports watching and drinking, but not too loud to talk. The crowd is pretty young but that's part of the charm. There are games in the back and crowd gathers there. Definately a lot of college aged patrons. Very friendly and the music is a mix mix of classics and modern stuff. The picture of Pope Francis is a nice touch. I felt at home right away. I liked it a lot. Hang with the locals and drink on the cheap. Enjoy this great old school establishment. read more

Corby's Irish Pub - Irish Near Me - South Bend, Indiana

Pretender for an Irish Pub and bartender must have forgotten that he works for tips! I asked if they made authentic Irish Coffee and he said no, because we dont have coffee. I joked about how does an Irish Pub not serve Irish coffee. His response was "you are welcome to open one." The place was very run down and looks like a college bar and most of televisions are mediocre. Bathrooms were nasty! We did not eat here, so I can't speak to the food. You want an authentic Irish Pub, go to Fiddler's Hearth on Main St.!(way better service at Fiddler's Hearth too) read more

I hadn't been to Corbys since 2009 before this past weekend (November, 2013). While I was always a big fan, they have made great strides since my last visit. We were there on a football weekend and when I walked in on a Friday night two things immediately stood out...1. No cover charge, and no smoking. Wonderful. They now serve food, and made it look much cleaner/brighter. Prices are still cheap..2.50 pounder cans of Miller Lite for example and the servers are still friendly. Was pretty empty until midnight when it got PACKED! I will continue to stop in Corbys during my Notre Dame visits. Mixed crowd, everyone is friendly, and cheap prices. Go Irish! read more

On the rare occasions we would decide to go to a bar, we open a tab, but pay cash tip. Corbys decided to add tip onto the bill after we left, essentially getting two tips. Will never be back... read more

They didn't let me 21 year old friends in. Bouncers were extremely rude and on a power high. Will not be returning.

Corbys smells like doo doo....literally. Bathrooms are out of order and disgusting porta potties are in place. The whole patio smells like someone pooped right in front of your face. Disgusting. read more

Corby's is a mixed bag, and for its unreliability, I can only give two stars. Also, I had a jacket stolen there. And more than one guy has looked at my, um, you know, while I was peeing. Yes, they have several pool tables, and a patio that they try to call a "beer garden". But how much pool can you play when it's crowded, and how much of the year is warm enough that I WANT to be outside, at night, drinking cold beer? Also, on certain nights they charge cover. On occasion, they have live music, but that's pretty sporadic. The best part of Corby's is leaving. Not just to get out of that unfortunate hellhole of "we wish we could back up the hype", but because of the FOOD being SLOW-COOKED and SMOKED on the SIDEWALK! WOOOOOO!!! But after all that ranting, Corby's is a good place during the summer months to have a quiet pint, maybe meet some new folks, and make use of that patio. read more

Corby's is one of my favorite bar in the area!! Don't expect anything fancy but they do have pool tables and games in the back (cornhole, beerpong, etc). They also have the best pizza ever! The kitchen is open til pretty late too! There are usually no cover charge except for football weekends. read more

Corby's is a SB institution. If you're an Irish fan or just like the idea of being stuffed in a small bar with a bunch of guys in brown leather sandals and girls carrying designer purses around in their armpits, Corby's is your dream come true. On the other hand, if the thought of elbowing 6 drunken domers out of the way every time you want to take a shot at your pool table makes you break out in a cold sweat, please do not go here. be prepared to pay a cover charge. yes, a cover charge to enter a bar. with no live entertainment of any sort. They do have a patio. one star for having a patio. read more

I love Corbys! Nothing like going to grab a pint after a victory win from the Irish. Great people and vibes too.

Only made one visit here, but it seemed the prototypical college bar. Enormous pitchers of beer at dangerously low prices. Co-eds and their callers abound. I recall a few pool tables as well. This isn't necessarily a good thing. I've come to associate pool tables with violence. Know what I mean? Some guy with a five-foot stick gets flustered while he's setting up an important shot, and the rest is history. And never, ever, is there a pool table with wide enough boundaries to prevent these kind of coma-inducing incidents from happening. Such is the nature of the game. read more

I've been in here 2 times in my life, both to meet a friend, and don't think that I will ever go back. #1: an absolute tool fest. All of the ND students come here, and all of the rich townies that wanted to go to Notre Dame come here and strut around. #2: a cover charge. There are wayy better bars around than this that don't charge a cover. #3: Music volume. I listen to loud music, and this is by far the loudest music bar in town, a great deal louder than the Oyster Bar, which is pretty loud in it's own right. Now, they do have cheap drinks, and if you're looking for local college tail, Thursday nights are when the students come for Thirsty Thursdays. But, this idea is far and away outshone by the meatheads and preppies that are absolutely stuffed to the rafters in this place, and the mere fact that I go hoarse trying to be heard in this bar is an abomination. read more

Corby's Pub use to be a very awesome bar. Recently I went to the bar with my sister, my fiancé and her friends. I was wearing a gold chain, black jeans that were not sagging and a t-shirt. Which was a very similar dress code to what every one that was already in the bar was wearing. The best part is we got forcefully pushed out the bar which is fine and we were calm. however, the bouncers shoved, swung and hit my sister on her shoulder very hard, she bruised. A lot of people waiting in line saw what happen and were very upset making things escalate. Again my sister and I told everyone we weren't with to step outside so we could talk to the bouncers. The bouncers were still very abusive threatening to pepper spray us for no reason other than them wanting to use excessive force. We were fine and even though that crowd started shouting racial slurs along with the bouncer following we still remained calm but the bouncer continued to use excessive force. I understand they are doing their job but it's ridiculous to see a guy three times the size of a woman push, swing and punch someone. There are many reviews with similar situations occurring at this bar. I do NOT understand how the City of South Bend is not aware of the discrimination they have against women and use of excessive force they use at this bar. RIDICULOUS! read more

Check out this old historic neighborhood corner bar! I heard this is usually a ND student bar, but when I went school was out for the summer. My friends and I met up here after a conference and had a great time. Prices were extremely competitive and beer selection was surprising. Staff was friendly and worked hard. An in house pizza kitchen makes a real nice, old school pie. You can really feel the history in this place; tin ceilings, vintage Fighting Irish murals, hard wood floors, and beer coolers that date back from God knows when. They don't make places like this any more. I'll be back. read more

On Saturday, January 20, my friend was physically picked up and kicked out by the bartender for "grinding on a guy." If you're looking for a place where bartenders make judgment calls about the appropriateness of your dancing and then physically remove you when it's not to their liking, this is the place for you. read more

I am not a Notre Dame student, but from the few times be visited I can tell this bar is a popular and fun place to spend a Friday night! Although the line was long and the bar is extremely crowded, the back patio is an awesome place to hang out. Remember to bring some cash, there is also a small bar out back with domestic beers that is easy to access but it's cash only! Definitely the way to if you come prepared. The music is fun and I've heard the pizza is good, although I've never had it myself. Would definitely recommend making it down to Corby's at some point if you're in South Bend for a game!!! read more

How Oyster Bar and the Backer have a better rating than Corby's, I will never know. This is the only ND bar that is actually a bar. You can sit at the bar and just drink. No ridiculous dancing, no cages like Fever, just good old fashioned drinking. They have cornhole out back on the patio during the summer too. Corby's rocks, and they never charge a cover, so I'm not sure what those guys below are talking about. read more

Favorite bar in south bend. You can get your fix of beer and a full 'za in one place, and enjoy it all outside on their patio. Love this joint. Go Irish read more

They served my friend $6 doubles but then charged me $8 for a double? Took me over 45 minutes to get the drinks. 0/10 do not recommend go to any other bar in south bend for a way better less crowded experience. read more

$3 beers? Is this heaven? No, this is South Bend. Corbys caters to th college crowd most nights, but when I'm out with the boys on a football weekend we always make a trip here. They have a pizza window if you need to soak up a few drinks before heading home and the prices are great when you're used to paying Chicago prices. Go Irish and keep it classy Corbys read more

3 1/2 Stars Corby's is usually a nice place to enjoy a pint at the bar and chat with friends or the bartenders during the week. On tuesday nights it is the place to be for students and is often standing room only. Thurs-Sat nights are a toned down version of tuesdays, the place is crowded but you can move around and breathe usually. Overall its a decent place to enjoy a drink or party on given nights for relatively low cost. read more

Terrible and rude security. I was clearly over 21 and had the correct idea and the bouncer continued to defile my ID. This is ridiculous and I will report this establishment. read more

BAR. College Bar. Limited menu... pizza, subs, wings, garlic bread. Food for their base crowd. Full liquor license if that's your thing. Smoke free... outside patio... average bathrooms, but clean enough. It's exactly what you might expect when you're thinking "college bar". read more
