I came here for a nightcap and quick bite to eat. The bartender was well versed on the menu and how to make the drinks. She greeted everyone who walked in warmly. The burger was delicious, as were the fries, albeit a bit over-salted. I had asked for mayo with my fries, and they forgot. No biggie. I requested it again, and the kitchen brought me an entire second burger to go for the "trouble". These people know customer service. read more

Night Train - Late night burger and fries. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

By boyfriend was told this place had great burgers and we decided to go. It's one of the only places downtown open late night. The staff did not acknowledge us when we came in. We sat at a booth and no one came to take our order. I went to the bar to ask the bartender about our waitress. She said there is no waitress and we needed to order at the bar. We moved to the bar and ordered. Their burgers are called sliders , but they are regular sized smash burgers. They have single, double and triples. Their crinkle fries were really good. The burgers are juicy and messy. I do like all toppings are free. read more

5/5 Service- great staff. Super friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]3/5 Ambience- cool basement bar- no frills....no TVs (unless a big game)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. 4/5 food. Got the wings. Voted 2nd best in city. Haven't tried others but definitely good. Had traditional Buffalo. Ranch made in house, also good. The was solid. Was expecting a little more traditional sauce (hot sauce, vinegar, butter, salt). Was a little peppery but that could be me. They do brine, bake and fried them. Interested to try some if the burgers. The kitchen is shared with an upstairs French - fancy cocktail , small plate place. Definitely not your traditional dive bar kitchen. read more

Night Train - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

So this "down in the basement" bar has hands down the best sliders in the Fort. You'll be thinking about going back for them again the next day. Bartenders friendly and helpful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Our party a bit older than the normal crowd but felt welcomed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We've already been back for a return visit and planning another venture "downstairs" soon. read more

Go down the stairs, open the big black door. Be careful, it's dark in here! We stopped by for a quick drink before reservations elsewhere on the Landing. Unfortunately we didn't get to order as no one came To our table, and had to leave. So... This review is for the ambiance only. Pretty dark, a little dusty, but overall intriguing. Later toward nightfall I bet it gets pretty fun. The only staff member I saw was behind the bar. He welcomed people but I didn't see him take any orders. Neon lights, room for dancing it looks like. Booth seating, as well as at the bar. Seat yourself. We will probably be back to see what the drinks and food are like when we have more time! Edit:: thanks for the tip, Trevor! We will be back for sure. Cheers! read more

Night Train - View from our table - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

Night Train is such a great addition to The Landing! It sounds like it's quite the after-hours spot, but we went early last night and ordered a bunch of takeout for our group of four to share at a table out on The Landing, and it was fantastic and quite a deal! We shared a chopped cheese sandwich (which was my favorite!), a hot dog sandwich (just like my dad used to make!), three sliders, hot wings and two orders of spectacular seasoned fries! It was a feast, and so very easy on the pocketbook!! We will be doing it again soon! read more

Night Train - Our feast!! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Located below Dana's, is a very mellow, chill and warm atmosphere Bar with both rail and booth seating available.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have very limited seafood options but I did have the shrimp which was a good portion for the price but should have came with fries. I ordered the crinkly fries and those were good without the fries sauce, which is actually Night Trains specialty sauce the fries would have been vegan however I wish in the future that they also veganize alternative to the sauce as it's really good but unfortunately couldn't try much of. The red sauce was really good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also the playlist is kind of centre towards early Y2K pop alternative music which I felt really didn't go with the atmosphere there so it would be nice if they could rotate music selections of all kinds to really vibe out this cool lil place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Night Train - Shrimp, crinkle fries and old fashioned - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

Bar is limited in offerings and drink knowledge, [[HIGHLIGHT]]decor is cheesy (looks like a college kid cheaply decorated it)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], [[HIGHLIGHT]]seating in very limited and the bar area is primitive and cramped.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Not worth it. Bourbon Street Hideaway was a much better use of the space and sorely missed. read more

Awesome service. The night train night shift is all class. They are respectful to everyone and handle drunken crowds with ease. The drinks are strong and the prices are fair. And the music is always bumpin. read more

Night Train - Dani and some construction sales dude - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

[[HIGHLIGHT]]If you're looking for relaxed or laid back don't go on Saturday (reminded me of a Notre dame frat bar).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There were no booths open and the bar was elbow to elbow, the patrons were rude pushing in between anyone standing or sitting at the bar (I would suggest dedicated bar service areas)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] , bartender rolled his eyes after telling me he didn't have three types of common alcohol and beer. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And to top it off no one was checked for weapons at the door. Kinda odd with that many people in there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Arrived a little before midnight and the booths were filled and the bar had patrons. I wouldn't say busy. By the time we left at 1am it was packed! We ordered at the bar and lingered until a booth opened. Suggest ordering two drinks as getting a reorder with the crowd requires patience. Bartender was great!! Barback was hustling and somehow managing to move through the throngs of people. First Marg was balanced with a nice smokiness. Second one was a little too sweet for my preference. Great people watching. Definitely a young crowd late. Cool vibe with the brick basement walls. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Love NT! Always a good vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food is exceptional. The mustard wings and slider are fantastic! And the bartenders are cool. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Of course it's difficult to talk when it's busy, but get in there earlier for dinner on a weekday, and they are all fun to chat with![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]If you're 21 or 83- looking to bust a move, get a late night snack, a cold beer, or find a new friend-- get aboard the Night Train![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Don't be afraid of the big scary bouncer outside (unless you're underage.) He's the nicest guy on the block. The bar staff are cool and kind and they don't miss a beat or a drink. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Max capacity in this basement hub is 70 people so regulate yourself and don't be surprised if you happen to get bumped making your way from the booth to the bathroom.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Passes the vibe check.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] *[[HIGHLIGHT]]Pro tip: bar has lighting underneath so hold your menu below to read.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Night Train - Shots! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

If you're looking for a place to go that makes you feel like you're no longer in your hometown or if you're just looking for a place that makes you appreciate the Fort Wayne area, this is the place to go! Super attentive bartenders & staff that make you feel like family. Not to mention, it's the drinks and food that make it unique. It will leave you wanting to come back for more! read more

CAUTION!! Do not consider any of the other comments made on this establishment. The bartenders are attentive and personable. Zach, Angie, and Zack (haha); are awesome. Nothing but good vibes and great drinks. I would recommend the Lit Pit (If you are looking to stumble home). Nonetheless, the food is wonderful and if you are wishing to relive your glory years, this is your place! read more

I didn't enjoy my experience at this establishment. The employees are unfriendly. The bartender ignored my friends and me so many times before we eventually gave up. He told us he would serve people who hadn't been served but proceeded to serve a group of men next to me twice when I was at the bar. When I left a google review, they were rude and sarcastic in response. They reply to all negative reviews with snarky remarks. read more

Fun vibe. The basement is nice and cold on these warm summer nights. A great place to go with friends. The drinks are... very creative... and that leads to them not being my favorite. Even their staples are a little wonky. Reasonably priced! Only a few bar tenders, but they do a good job working the bar! Service is decent. read more

The drinks and service are trouble. If you're 22 and don't care about quality and just want to dance this is your place. Otherwise, don't bother. read more

One of the bartenders was very rude and made inappropriate comments. He was very unprofessional and I don't see why he's in this industry when clearly he is offensive and lacks customer service!! Other than that the music, wings and vibe were good. read more

Arrived at 6:00PM. Beer was cold, service was ok, [[HIGHLIGHT]]atmosphere was depressing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Reason for 1 star was the X rated, vulgar music played by the management.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] One weird joint. read more
