5 Best Dive Bars near Merrillville

“I was looking for a close spot to have a cold beer and grab a bite to eat in-between my daughters volleyball games and stumbled upon the gem called R Place. This spot is great! I was told that they have been in business 42 years! WOW, and I can see why. They are very friendly and treat you well. The food is fantastic and the locals are very laid back and make you feel welcome as well. If I was local to the area, this bar would be my base! A throwback feel to the better times, in my opinion. 5 ✨'s! I hope to get a chance to visit again.“

“I’ve been all over the U.S. and by far this is the best bar I ever been too mostly locals but great company would 10/10 recommend if you are stopped in the area, only downside they don’t serve food but if you get food nearby feel free to bring it with you but there are plenty of options nearby!!“

“Miller's equal to CHEERS“

“Kandi is the most genuine and hardworking business owner I have met in Cedar Lake hands down. As she stated and I quote "Life is Entertaining. If you don't like how it's going change the channel!" Bri, Josh, & Natalie have the most excellent personalities and this is a great place to enjoy your life!“
