    The Verve is a cool local bar/music venue with a unique atmosphere. The front entrance to the building is really inviting and has a well rounded bar menu. Anyone who is visiting Terradise, Terradactle, or Terranova(Terre Haute puns) would be advised to enjoy this great local establishment. They have bands, a separate back room for dancing, and your typical bar area.

    we just visited the Verve. I wish we'd had more time to soak up the relaxed elegance in the back lounge.

    This is a hot spot in town for college aged kids. The drinks are cheap. I had 4 drinks and spent 10 bucks. This is the place to go.

    Good place to get groped by an unwanted stranger, good musical acts, but a little bit small for what the place tries to accomplish.

    Highly recommended since if you go to Scouts first you can order drinks from the Verve but the menu is limited.

    Used Yelp search to find a restaurant as we passing thru Terre Haute(on I70) and found The…read moreTerminal Public House. Looked at several of the reviews and knew it was a place to visit. The building itself is over a 100 years old and is on the National Register of Historic Places, this helps its cool vibe. We came in at 12:30 on a December Thursday, it was absolutely packed, what appeared to be multiple team/holiday gatherings. We were told a 20 minute wait, but we eventually were able to find a seat at the bar in less time. With as busy as it was, I was concerned food coming out may be impacted, but it came out quick. Allie was our bar tender, she was very friendly and attentive, shout out to her. First I started with a local beer, wango tango. I would call it a hazy pale ale. It was perfect for me. Had grilled shishito peppers. It was my first time to ever eat one, I loved them. I enjoyed them better without the sauce, but the wasabi Mayo did provide a nice kick. I ate the fried wontons with the sauce. We shared the crab Rangoon flatbread. It did not disappoint, and had a healthy serving size. I would get it again and again! Then I went with a comfort food, fried bologna sandwich. It came with a side, but the sandwhich alone was enough. I added a close pic of the sandwich, it had two thick cut pieces of meat. Impressive. It came with melted cheese, that was a twist for me, but I wanted to try it the way it was on the menu first. I eventually added ketchup, lol. We now have a new place to stop as we're passing by on 70. If I lived closer, i definitely would be a regular!!!

    What a treat for Terre Haute! As a former never of the ANG, when I saw Afterburner on my google map…read moreI had to check it out. It did not disappoint! My husband and brother enjoyed the beer they tried. I enjoyed the atmosphere. They have popcorn and games to play. They have a cat who seems to love there. It's kid and dog friendly and just an overall nice place to spend an afternoon. The bartender was very friendly as were the other patrons. I was so happy to see this place and the memorabilia throughout. Highly recommend it to anyone. They have an outdoor patio that I hear is packed in the summer! We'll definitely return!

I'm not a guy who has a sophisticated palate that tastes notes of Madagascaran pine nuts or hints of organic apricot. I just like the beer or I don't. Afterburner is veteran owned local brewery. They don't have food inside but there was a food truck parked out front. The facility is rather large but their beer menu is pretty small. When I went they had 5 beers, 2 ciders and 3 wines on tap. There is also a fenced in area outside with picnic tables so you can let your pets or children off their leash. I had a standard 4 beer flight (just samples here so same thing without the board). I got their Nunquam Fractum (wheat beer), Unscoreable (pale Ale), Midnight (double Imperial Stout) and Mach (hazy IPA). All were solid but the Mach was great. My only criticism is I'd like to see a few more beer styles on the menu and I wish their sticker had their name and location (I'm a nerd with a brewery sticker wall in the garage). Other than those little critiques, it's an awesome place

    feels like a place trying to be everything at once--and unfortunately not doing any one thing…read moreparticularly well. It's part college bar, part live music venue, part sports bar with golf simulators, and part wing/grill restaurant. The concept sounds fun on paper, but in practice it comes across dated and unfocused. The food was the biggest disappointment. I went in expecting solid bar food--nothing fancy, just reliable wings and fried staples. What arrived was inconsistent at best. Two wings were undercooked, and one wasn't even battered on one side. At first I assumed it was frozen food quality, but it honestly felt more like a lack of kitchen consistency and oversight. If you're hungry, the food is edible, but it's not something I'd go out of my way for. Service didn't help the experience. The bartender spent a noticeable amount of time sitting at a table socializing rather than checking on guests, which made the place feel inattentive despite not being overwhelmingly busy. The atmosphere clearly caters to the college crowd, and to be fair, I can see why students would enjoy it--drinks, music, and a casual hangout spot. It's probably not going out of business anytime soon because it fills that niche. But if you're expecting a polished sports bar, quality grill food, or a standout dining experience, this likely won't meet those expectations. After reading other reviews, the "hit or miss" reputation seems accurate. My recommendation: stop in for a beer first. If the vibe is good that night, stay. If not, cash out and move on. If wings are your goal, there are better options in town. Overall, not terrible--but definitely lackluster and not a destination spot.
