    I dropped by The Tailgate last Friday night, looking forward to "making a night out of it" watching the Notre Dame, IU games and enjoying the Karaoke. I have visited The Tailgate on several previous occasions, enjoying the quality food, drink specials and overall atmosphere. But last Friday night was not one of those times. The wait staff was apparently overwhelmed by the size or number of customers as it took 20 minutes to request the two items (onions and cheese) that were left off the Traditional Tailgator burger that was ordered. And another 25 minutes to ( for the second time) get the correct slice of cheese. At this point, the burger and fries were cold, the bun was stale. I left the food uneaten. I requested and paid the check, essentially paying $10 for a diet coke with a refill. Extremely disappointed. Took the rest of my night's business to BW3's. I believe there were three possible resolutions that were available to the wait staff, the worst of which (from a customer's viewpoint) was taken. I'm not inclined to reward sub par service or quality. Just thought you might wanna know.

    My husband and I used a Groupon. We wanted to try something on our side of town. We were pleasantly surprised because Wednesday's they have DJ Bingo and $2 well drinks. Double thumbs up! Unfortunately, we walked in and immediately noticed the air conditioning wasn't working properly. They had ceiling fans and other fans, but that's not AC. We ordered a few mix drinks while playing bingo which was good. My husband ordered a burger & fries which he enjoyed. I ordered a breaded chicken sandwich with fries which was average. Summary-Great happy hour drink specials, fun DJ Bingo, subpar food, and no AC.

    Karaoke is awesome and the food and service is awesome!

    Don't let the outside fool you--this place opens up into a surprisingly spacious sports bar once…read moreyou step inside. We stopped in for lunch with no trouble finding a spot right at the bar. The daily food and drink specials made choosing lunch even harder (in the best way). We ordered the breaded tenderloin and the Hot Italian sandwich, and both were excellent. Now...let's talk about that Indiana tenderloin. It hangs so far off the bun that the bread is basically just there for moral support. Crispy, juicy, perfectly seasoned, and exactly what you hope for when ordering a Hoosier classic. The Hot Italian didn't disappoint either--loaded with flavor and paired with fries that were crispy, well-seasoned, and dangerously addictive. Fries Worth Fighting Over? Inside you'll find wall-to-wall TVs, a stage for live music, and regular events like poker and trivia nights, making it just as much of a destination as it is a neighborhood sports bar. Whether you're stopping in to catch a game, grab lunch, or meet friends for a cold beer, Whiskey Business nails that relaxed local-bar atmosphere. Good food, generous portions, friendly people, and plenty of reasons to come back.

Our waitress came by and we ordered a beer and an iced tea. I ordered an unsweetened iced tea which I did not drink, it was not plain unsweetened tea. Seemed like it had a lot of artificial lemon in it, not sure, but I know I did not like it. The hubby had a Corona and our friend had a pitcher of beer. We perused the menus and it did take a good while for the waitress to come back and take the order. The hubby ordered a hamburger and fries and our friend had the buffalo chicken wrap and I ordered the twice baked tater skins. The husband said his fries were cold and the burger looked like a frozen patty as it was perfectly formed and it was just ok. I may have ordered the wrong dish myself as I did not care for the potato cheese mixture that was inside so I ended up stripping all the insides out and just ate the skins themselves. Husband had to flag down the waitress to get the bill and keep in mind that they were not busy. It is a typical bar atmosphere in here with TVs all around the perimeter. We were sitting at a high-top table but they had both low and high.

Coming here is such a nostalgic way to reminisce about childhood, there's something about the mix of the lights, the sounds of the games, and that excitement of trying to beat a high score that never gets old. The game selection is a solid mix of the latest tech, like the VR experiences, and the timeless favorites like Skee-Ball and air hockey. We don't usually eat here although you could, while we're here we also saw that they were doing trivia that was free to join

The huge dining room and bar area was completely empty at 12 noon on a Thursday but another table became occupied shortly thereafter. She ordered the 12 oz steak dinner while I got the Chicken Parm Pasta which was kind of different in that the pasta was fettuccine Alfredo. Her grandma ordered the Cali Grilled Chicken Club Sandwich. Every one enjoyed their food. I thought the chicken parmesan was excellent. We also ordered dessert. I had to have the Funnel Fries with extra powdered sugar and she got the Smores Cheesecake. She said the cheesecake was rich but took the leftovers home. I demolished the funnel fries. We also partook of the game arcade buying the top package for each of us. We played together and tried 80% of the games. The virtual reality shooter game gave me an upset stomach briefly otherwise I would have played it again it was that fun. We acquired 3k tickets to cash in on prizes and she got some stuff that made her happy so it was a good afternoon.
