16 Best Bars in Muncie

“Good beer. Nice people. Could be faster in the kitchen but they get busy.“

“I became a patron for the food and the general atmosphere. Now it’s my go-to to get out of the house. This little gem is Muncie’s best-kept secret. Known for their statue of Paul Bunyan, this bar serves all the usual bears and has a fairly deep liquor shelf. Their food is out of this world. I personally recommend the ribeye sandwich and fried mushrooms.“

“Paradise Bar & Grill is hands down my favorite bar in Muncie. The place is always clean, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the owners are some of the nicest people you’ll meet. Their tenderloin sandwich is the best I’ve ever had absolutely a must-try. Great food, great people, and a great environment make this spot stand out every time I visit.“

“The karaoke sound system & k.j. were great and the people were nice & fun! Will be back.“

“Excellent service. Great food. The staff is friendly and professional. The menu has gone through a recent change and I am finding excellent new entree’s and drinks to try. Head of house, Addy, invented my new favorite cocktail The Peachy Palmer. I highly recommend.“

“Bartender Angel was being rude and talking about us behind our backs. Expecting tips when I'm here to have fun. Getting rude at other customers for eating food a friend of mine brought for EVERYONE. Fire this woman. I don't appreciate the rudeness or the talking behind our backs.“

“It’s a great place to sing karaoke! Tim is a great host!“

“We went to Trust Your Butcher Steakhouse tonight in Muncie ! It was fantastic! Best steakhouse we’ve been to in a while! Live elegant music, gorgeous authentic taxidermy & skulls, amazing food! We had oysters, fried green tomatoes, great steaks, a super tasty jalapeño queso scalloped potatos, amazing sweet potato casserole, risotto, bison burger, penne pasta & crème brûlée! 10/10! Great service, atmosphere & food!“

“Great place had a great time ! Staff was amazing 🤩“

“Yes, I would recommend The Chug, every staff member that I have encountered have been easy going and kind, as well as being humorous which help make the experience better. However, Rachel that works Wednesday nights has the worst egotistical attitude. I’ve never met anyone who has intentionally made fun of a customer as well as belittle them. As an owner of The Chug, I would remember to remind your staff about their place as a bartender. They do provide customer service and that comes along with human decency and a kind attitude. Thank goodness the second bartender, (I don’t recall her name, curly haired woman) was there to provide us drinks. She is someone who you should use as a reference when hiring new employees. Thanks for all the good nights prior to this night in particular. I will still go to The Chug in hopes that people like Rachel are not working.“

“Love love love this place. Lots of fun. Great place to go and not worry about fights. Most bands are great. I’ve really NEVER seen drugs being bought or sold. Staff is great. Like all bars there are trouble makers but they are escorted out very quickly. If you want to go somewhere and dance, chill, or just really have a good time. This is the bar. Best bar in Muncie and around Ball State“

“Great chicken taco salad for lunch.“

“Great food! Amazing drinks! and the KINDEST STAFF imaginable!“

“If you’re looking for a laid back, no frills spot, Cheers is the place to go. It’s a cozy little hole in the wall bar, but that just adds to its charm. The vibe is casual and welcoming, with friendly staff and affordable drinks. It’s the kind of place where you can kick back, relax, and enjoy life without feeling out of place. Definitely worth checking out if you’re into a chill atmosphere.“

“This was a good experience. Good food, not a long wait at 6:00 about 15 minutes. We sat in the bar area at a table quick to ask us for our drink order but then she had to take care of the bar drinks so it took a few before we got our order in. Once we did normal wait on food to be made when it came out tasted good“
