    Front room stairway that leads to the brewery on the second floor.
    Steve C.

    Bathe yourself and history, while visiting this beautiful, historic home in downtown South Bend!! In addition to the brewery on the second floor, there's also Tippecanoe restaurant on the main level. This is such a fabulous setting! I tried six flight samples, and although all of the beer was good, I felt that only one was truly noteworthy (Sceptre Juicy). They have a full bar, which is fantastic if you are with non-beer drinkers (my wife have wine). Service from the bartender was exceptional! Regrettably, we were not able to spend much time here, and did not have any of their food. Although this brewery is located in a more refined setting, dress code is casual so feel free to come as you are. The brewery itself likely has seating for apx 40-50 guests. Highly recommend a visit!

    Having grown up in the South Bend area and having been to Tippicanoe place for Mother's Day brunch many many many times, when I learned they had a brewery in the upstairs area I was excited to try it out. Wevisited on Thursday evening and aside from us there were only two other couples there. UnDaunted we sat at the bar and ordered some flights. Our bartender was pleasant and told us if we wanted food to get our order in. We ended up ordering fry duo and chicken wings. While we waited for the food to arrive. we tried the beers. They were all just OK and fine for a one and done situation . Our food arrived and we were pretty underwhelmed. The chicken had good flavor, but were badly cooked as there was no crispiness at all. The fries were horrible. It came with sweet potato fries and regular traditional french fries. The sweet potato fries were at least warm, the regular fries tasted as though they had been sitting around for hours cold mush, gross. I mentioned it to our bartender and she said "yeah they just can't ever get the fries right" which is information that would've been super helpful when she knew that we ordered them! We finished our beer and before we left visited the bathroom. They closed at 9 o'clock. We went to the bathroom at 8:58. At 9:01 they already turned off all of the lights and locked the door. Mind you we were on the third floor and still had big stairs to go down. One of the workers saw us on the stairs and said "oh shit there's still people here" then they escorted us to the door (in the dark) unlocked the door And ushered us out. It was creepy and incredibly offputting. I get totally wanting to go home on a slow evening but yikes. So not a great experience. I don't think we will return.

    Amazing place! We are traveling through and decided to stop for the night in town and found this place with a quick YELP search. Amazing building. Amazing food and , most importantly to us after a long day of driving, amazing beer. Staff was kind and helpful. I'll admit, the Music Bingo in the bar was a bit annoying- but I see that as my own problem. Can't wait to come back!

    This place is gorgeous! I walked in thinking I needed to be wearing a ball gown but the place was so welcoming. I did a flight and all four beers were great. I think I liked the cran-orange best. We also got some margarita pizza and my dad had the pulled pork sandwich. I stole some of his Mac and cheese and 10/10 would recommend. Erica (the great bartender lady) asked if we saved room for dessert and thankfully we did. We had the New York cheesecake and it was delightful. Honestly Erica also kind of made the trip. Great people help. :)

    So this is a small bar area in the Studebaker mansion but vey quaint. We just grabbed a pint and they were excellent. Barkeep was friendly and efficient. Helpful with some thoughts about the beers. If you want a quiet pub atmosphere with good but limited selection of beers you should head here.

    Cool that the Studebaker mansion has a brewery in it. Beers were good, food was good. We sat at the bar to eat then walked around to check out the house. Lots of history.

    The location of the brewery is AMAZING to say the least located within the original Studebaker home built in 1886 the every turn is something to see I would compare to some homes in Europe. The beer and food selection is Great they have a restaurant down stairs the Tippecanoe Restaurant

    Flight of 4 beers for $8

    We stopped in on a recent Sunday afternoon to the newly opened Studebaker Brewing Company located on the third floor of Tippecanoe Place. The space previously hosted the bar/lounge for Tippecanoe Place and not much has changed. There were only a couple other folks in the place and one bartender working. My husband and ordered a flight of four beers (five offerings were on tap along with a full bar and other bottled beer). A couple of the beers have potential, but there was a strong chemical taste. We first thought it was from the solution used to wash the glasses, but it was very distinct with two of the beers - maybe attributed to new brewing equipment?? Whatever the cause, it was unpleasant. They do offer food with what seemed to be a BBQ themed, but we opted to share an appetizer. We ordered the pretzel bites with beer cheese. The pretzels were just the standard frozen pretzels; however, we were told the beer cheese was made in house. The cheese dips seemed to be the standard cheddar cheese sauce out of a can that may have been doctored up with a splash of beer. I think we'll let them work out some of the kinks before venturing back!

    Hidden inside Tippecanoe Place and well worth the visit. Relaxing atmosphere nice tunes in the background, comfortable bar stools and friendly wait staff. And the beers! Small selection but all have such great taste. From the Conestoga Cream Ale (very smooth easy taste) to Champion IPA ( nice for IPA lovers) to the Avanti Amber Ale (awesome red) there's something for everyone.

We sat on their beautiful patio with a perfect view of the St. Joseph River- what a treat! There are opportunities to sit in so many places it felt a bit like a maze in the best way- so much to see! And with all of these places to sit, on a lovely Friday night- this place was poppin'! So we'd likely recommend a reservation if you think of it, but I'm certain the wonderful staff would be able to fit you in as they can! We waited a moment for our food, but with our large group, we were happy to do so as the food was worth the wait! Many of our group got OG Burgers while others opted for chicken wings and brisket sandwiches, or even tacos! They really had it all! The food had a bit of a kick with the spice, but as someone with not a high spice tolerance, it was not too much at all! I didn't get a chance to snap a pic of our dishes because we just scarfed them down- Ha! The service was attentive, but also really independent and relaxed! Cared for, but not micromanaged in the slightest! Free to laugh loud and make memories with no rush out! Worth the stop if you can make it! What a joy!!

The choice of beer is always spot on and the food and service are always a hit. The poutine is a solid choice to share. The pastrami is delicious. But the one that I really enjoyed recently was the bibimbap with brisket. It can get a little crowded, but that just says that it's a good place to meet up and get some good food.

I always recognize his glasses. He's great. Bartenders are always spot-on. Besides that--I hardly have much of a demand, I just want to know if my burger comes with a patty or is just brisket, as it wasn't very clearly indicated in the "burger box" Super disappointing at such a price point/location. I expect more than being visited twice in nearly 30 minutes and only getting the response of "I don't know" and "I'm not sure" I left after taking two sips of my beer, and was chased out by some manager who FINALLY acknowledged us, only trying to get paid for the single ounce of beer that I consumed, as well as two sips of (warm)unsweetened tea that my grandmother had. It's not often I leave without paying, but if you're not going to acknowledge me and cant be at least a decent host, I'll just be on my way before i get too far in. When you charge $20 for a burger, I would think the service is matching that level of quality. Yes I would like a follow up, too. Because if you got my grandma following me in agreement, there's an issue. Really disappointing, probably won't make the stops like I used to. Place appears to need some quality help.
