27 Best Bar & Grill near Mishawaka

“Had THE BEST burger and hand cut fries last night! Great tomato basil soup served with a dollop of art. The sprout app is killer, the beer is the coldest. Service is friendly and good. if you haven't been, what are you waiting for?“

“The owners are kinda cool“

“A great place all around. Met the owner and he is a very nice gentleman.“

“Feel comfortable there as I would my own house“

“Except from the bartenders being a little too rude for no reason sometimes, That Place Bar is a very beautiful environment. Just make sure you have your ID always even if you’re feeling like a regular, cause you might not know which side of bed the bartenders woke up from that day lol. Love the pool tournaments they host Fridays through Sundays, it’s always fun and entertaining. Not to mention the karaoke on Fridays too, overall you won’t be disappointed.“

“There food is good. I wish they didn't change their Calamari app though. Too spicy now.“

“The wings are so good! Usually get curly fries too because they're delightful. Menu has was updated recently and I'm pretty sure prices increased due to inflation ?. Service is good here. Lots of tvs though, but for a sports bar it is what it is. The Wall of Flame is cool but not very full here compared to some other locations.

Dietary restrictions: My husband has celiac and has never had a problem with their bone-in wings. Can't speak for all locations but this one's been alright with the sweet chili cha cha sauce.

Parking: It's kinda tucked away in the corner, but I've never had a problem finding plenty of parking because Mishawaka has soo many restaurants.“

“Best fish meal in town! Never disappoints“

“Really great hole-in-the-wall vibe. Precisely what we were looking for at the time. Met some new friends. Had fun engaging with the patrons and learned some great local history. I feel like everyone would be welcomed here. Didn’t try any food.“

“The food here is fantastic!!! We just moved to Niles a few months ago and have been trying many items on the menu. The staff is friendly and our orders are always right.“

“October 8, 2025
Can't argue with my first review. Been here 3 times now.

Had The Mariner, delicious!

June 2025
First, this is NOT an appropriate place for kids, and you'll be asked to leave if you bring them, this is an old style BAR. Adults only.

My burger was delicious and the staff was friendly! Sorry I started eating it first. Greasy and great! Full of beef and gluten.

If you love nostalgia and don't mind the smell of old smoke and a hint of pee, scratched paint and air vents hanging from straps, you'll love this place. It's like going back to the 60s or 70s!

Be sure to enjoy the vintage Popeye sign from the 50's advertising a hamburger for 10¢!

If not you probably should avoid it.

This place leans into letting people self-select to not be here. But in my opinion that just means it has an unapologetic personality.

I am NOT recommending this place for the sub 40 crowd, you probably won't like it and the regular won't feel bad about that. If you don't mind stepping out of your comfort zone in a big way, try it. If not they won't miss you.“

“Food was great. It was hot and flavorful! Service was also friendly and attentive. Price is a little high but portion was large and with the quality. We saw street parking but maybe there is a lot in back. Not busy on a Friday evening for dinner, hidden gem honestly.“

“Went this past Friday. It was a little dark from the outside but we could see dance lights through the curtains. Went in was greeted by the security guard Matt. He was immensely kind and patient as I looked for ID. Came in and sat at a table instantly fell in love with the vibe and the other people there!! Dawn was our bar tender and the drinks were great! Dawn and I didn’t talk much but she had a glow in her eyes and I felt like she genuinely cared about me. Instantly felt welcome! Prices were on par with other bars I’ve been too! R bar had that high end feel mixed with family love.

I had a good conversation with Matt the security guard after he had to ask a patron who was loudly banging on the bar to quiet down. I was really impressed with Matt’s attitude and is desire to see everyone have a good time while also making sure everyone was safe and happy.

I went back to the table and danced with my friends and we left after a couple drinks and some karaoke songs. Will be back this Friday!! Thanks R Bar 🥰“

“What a great little place to hang out on a Saturday night. First Saturday night of the month they do karaoke and the DJ keeps it going when people aren't singing. Lots of smiling people and dancing people. And the cheese is delicious! And by that I mean instead of peanuts or popcorn they have a little cheese plate at your table. The perfect thing for drinking dancing and singing. The bartenders were friendly and helps keep the atmosphere light and fun. They even joined in on the fun with us.“

“I visited this bar to do Emo Night Karaoke and I had a good time. Corey and Jess were great bartenders. The bar was busy but not cramped or uncomfortable. Diverse crowd of all ages. There was plenty of seating indoor and out. The sound was great for the show. I'd visit this bar again.“

“Be careful on dollar wing day, waitress gave me spoiled wings and new it. They took $10 off the order but I order $20 dollar worth of wings. They should of took $20 off my bill. Please avoid this place go to Linden grille. This place is not the same as it use to be.“

“I hate when people complain online and say overpriced lol, go to mcdonalds then . We been here all week on business and Jeremy the owner and the crew are great ,Wings are fresh ,and the service is impeccable. The prices are what they are ,chicken is expensive all over the country so it is what it is, and there prices are fine.so if ya want to watch the game have great wings and beer ,go see the crew up at Wings ETC and the girls will pour ya a ice cold one at the bar .“

“Classic south bend restaurant!“

“Lonnie’s bar and grill on prairie has the most cleanest bathroom in a bar that I have ever seen Just saying“

“Hotel bar as you would expect. Not a lot of food except for breakfast is in the morning. The bartender staff was great and friendly. People that hang out here generally come back from games etc and kind of a good vibe. Not a destination spot for a bar as you would expect in a small hotel Holiday inn but nevertheless cold beer, good drinks good service.“

“Great food and drinks and service! Great atmosphere“

“Food is great. Atmosphere is inviting, it's a 30s an up crowd mostly so no bs drama.
Pool and darts are priced well.
It is a smoking establishment FYI.
If that isn't a deal breaker you should have a good time.“

“We went on a weekday.....the food was excellent and reasonably priced. Beer special was great.... pitcher of Yuengling for $8. The only issue is there was no waitress, so we had to move to the bar to order. The poor bartender did everything but cook. Hopefully they have more help on weekends!“

“It's a sports bar with excellent food.
Bit loud but both establishments in the area great.
The wings are good, bit overcooked at this one.
Love the nachos, got that twice now. But very heavy. Haven't had good nachos before, and they're the kind of nachos that put you in the good kinda food coma.
The burgers too are just okay, they're what you expect from burgers. Not as great as the wings.

Overall would come back again.“

“A lot better then Portage Rd. Very large dining. Bathroom sink faucets crazy.“

“I love the sweet potato fries 🤩. My mom, my daughter, and I love Teresa. She is a great loving amazing waitress... she feels more like family. my mom, Lori just loves her. She is what makes Baker's for us.“

“We had an incredible experience! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and our server Jessica was absolutely amazing. She was attentive, friendly, and truly helped elevate our dining experience. We’ll definitely be coming back!“
