“Top 5 best wings I've ever eaten in my life! Love this place! Biggest hidden gem in New Haven ever! Nettie has always been kind, nice, helpful, and an awesome lady in general. The wings are hot, fresh & crispy with many different delicious sauces. The fries and other menu items are delicious. Alcohol prices are also great. This place is so brave for offering the Tuesday wing special, and I know hundreds of people who are grateful for that! Great place with great conversations! Thank you Carl's for the amazing memories!“

“Fun people, good times, great bartenders/servers/cooks! my favorite place to go!“

“I'd heard this is the best pizza in New Haven, so I decided to give it a try for lunch today. When I called in my order the gentle man that took my order was really nice and welcoming and patient being this would be my first order. My order was ready at the time I was told it would be and again the staff was even more friendly in person. When I picked up the box it was heavier than I thought it should be for a medium pizza. When I made it home and opened the box, this pizza had more toppings than I have ever seen on a pizza and it was delicious! I will certainly be back again. The only thing for me is the cigarette smoke makes the place smell bad, but I can definitely deal with that long enough to carry out a delicious pizza.“

“Wings are very good as are fries and tenderloins. I would rate the wings as one of my 2 favs in the Ft. Wayne area. Half price on Wednesdays. Wide selection of beer on tap. Can't recall last time I saw Coors Banquet(not lite) on tap. Reasonable prices particularly on beer. Friendly staff.“

“We happened to be in New Haven last night & decided to stop in for dinner. Sure glad we did! Best fresh food we've had in a long time in one of the cleanest places too! I believe Hall's new generation is making their Grandpa proud. We won't wait to be in New Haven to come back🥰 Rick & Deb Schimmoller“

“Our server was Angelica and she was great. Friendly, prompt, helpful. The food was exactly what we were looking for. Great flavor, portion size, presentation. I had the strip and it was cooked exactly to my specifications. My husband had the meatloaf. The flavors were on point! Definitely will be back.“

“Great atmosphere, Drinks, & Bartender ( Kimberlee)“

“Sat at the bar and ordered the Italian grinder and some draft beer. The bar staff was phenomenal! They were very friendly and accommodating, when I needed a drink they made sure I had one. The Italian grinder I had was great also, the Italian sauce is always my favorite.“

“This place has the most unique drinks in Fort Wayne with the most knowledgeable bartenders. And they don't mind when you ask a million questions about ever drink they make. Tonight my favorite was the Songbird and the hubby loved the Si gorilla.“

“Great views and staff.Good food.“

“I've been going to this rustic old place for almost 15 years, laid back and friendly. It's been a great place to grab a beer,wine or lite bite to eat since 1895. Still has the original bar stand and alot of the original wood. This bar will take you back to the past.?“

“We have been regulars at the Village Tap for YEARS since we lived in the ‘05. The food is awesome, prices are great, drinks are REAL and the staff are the best part. We try to sit at Emily’s table because she is like sunshine itself.“

“Wonderful atmosphere, wonderful staff, wonderful drinks. The very first time I went there on Saturday right after we ordered our first drink the electricity went out and half of downtown Ft. Wayne. The staff brought out a bunch of candles in the atmosphere, was so beautiful and unique“

“Great food. Great bands good friends very enjoyable place to go to. Weekly drawings on Tuesdays Nd Thursdays. Come check us out“

“Decent local place for a few beers. Comfortable atmosphere and friendly bartenders. ***still the exact same as it was a year ago, as it was many years ago; A local bar for locals and anybody else for that matter that is looking for a down-to-earth place to relax and have a few drinks away from the busy areas of town.“

“Always a great time!! One of the best stages for live music in The Fort.“

“I went in and tried the specialty of the day, which was the crab Rangoon grilled cheese, and it was absolutely amazing and the service was friendly and kind, and the prices were very affordable!“

“Good food people are so very nice I love it so very much thank sevice“

“I've been all over this country and have spent several years living outside of Fort Wayne now. Every time I go back to town to see family I visit the Rail. One of the most under-rated things is just how amazing the jukebox is. 4 plays for a dollar but the really special thing is how well curated the selection is. You'll never come here without vibing to the soundtrack unless you dont have ears. Best bar in the world and one of the places I miss the most about living in Fort Wayne.“

“Great place. Laid back atmosphere, friendly people.“

“great food and great people“

“I was shocked how awesome the pizza looked and bummed i only ordered a medium but it was All good later👍🏼Great Conversation about years ago. Plenty of parking directly across the street,,get there around 4pm everything is perfect✌🏼“

“We were there the first week they opened back in the 70's. The owners treated us like family. We drank, ate, then drank some more. Last call was usually too soon. We listened to Peggy Lee on the jukebox. That's when we were young. As we got older, we were less attentive and eventually drifted away. Jimmie, Luba, Tom and Bill. I miss them!“

“This weekend I had a Toasted Pecan Old Fashioned that I can’t stop thinking about because it was so delicious. The flavor was balanced and the ingredients went together well for an old fashioned with a twist. A group came up to the bar farther down and was served before the rest of us in line so I waited quite a bit for my order to be taken. That’s bound to happen with such a large bar but worth the wait!“

“Stopped in last evening for a quick bite to eat and our waitress took us to our table ...who's name was Caitlyn... (possibly a K not sure). But we had the BEST customer service that I have had in as long time. She was so Sweet and checked on us continually. She also suggested when I wanted a wrap...that I didnt have to have it with Buffalo sauce could get it just plain with ranch. When she bought the food she said, "Would you like an extra side of ranch". I thought that was so kind. Then when she bought boxes to the table for our left overs she bought a lid for my ranch and a sack to Carry our containers in...ALL without me asking. I asked for the manager to come to the table for her to be recognized for her impeccable customer service!! He said, " He appreciated me bringing that to his attention". I made sure she got an excellent tip for her Kind , caring and quality customer service. BUT I ALSO THINK SHE DESERVES A 5 STAR ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ rating here as well. Most of the time these days you dont get that kind of customer service...so when you do it needs to be reconized!! Thank you again Caitlyn on a job well done!!“

“Amazing wings, drinks, service, and atmosphere. On another note I call the wings here some of the best wings in town.“

“I love neighborhood bars. I knew a lot of people here and met new friends“

“Had a great night at Pulvers!! Ari and Marshall are the best!!! Made our night more fun!!! Definitely say hi to them if you stop in!!!“

“We had my son’s 7th birthday party here! They are easy to communicate with and they have wonderful customer service. The arcade is extremely clean! As of right now — 8/3/25 for the birthday packages each child gets a $10 playing card. I added $10 of my own, so each child got $20. I still didn’t know if that would make it enough for 2 hours. They are thinking of making it 1 hour of unlimited play (minus the claw machines.) I also brought Minecraft bingo to do at the table until everyone arrived, so they started the arcade games at the same time. Overall, being new to birthday parties, they are trying their best and are happy to hear thoughts. I also understand they have to make money to survive! They gave my son a prize that was more than the credits he had and I thought that was very kind of them. Thanks for a great party Claw Crazy.“

“We had an amazing time on the Pedal Bike experience! Kal was our driver for the night, and he made it truly fantastic. His friendly and energetic personality really enhanced our experience. He helped us choose the best spots to stop along the way. I would definitely do this again and would request Kal as our guide!“

“A one-of-a-kind building and delicious dishes!“

“Birdie’s is a huge gem in the crown of Ft. Wayne! Great drinks, creative menu and bartenders/ staff are top notch! I highly recommend stopping here should you find yourself in the “Fort”. If you’re fortunate you’ll find Tory who is very talented in mixology , she is witty and funny. Also an unforgettable bloke, Richie, who will do everything to make sure you are happy. Love it here !“

“Came in on a Friday night with a couple friends and the place had a nice, laid back vibe. It wasn’t too loud, which I appreciated since we actually wanted to talk. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger with fries and it was pretty solid, juicy and cooked how I asked. The wings were decent too, good flavor but not crazy spicy. Service took a little while when it got busy, but our server kept checking in and was friendly the whole time. Prices felt fair for what you get. Overall, it’s a reliable neighborhood bar & grill and I’d go back again.“

“I've been a regular at State Bar for awhile, and for the most part, I've always enjoyed the atmosphere. But last night was a wake-up call. It was honestly bizarre. The owner's wife, instead of trusting her staff to handle things, was obsessively micromanaging every little detail. And then, when things started getting a little rowdy, instead of defusing the situation like a professional, she was actually heckling the drunk patrons, making it worse. It’s a shame because the staff normally handles the crowd well, but she was actively undermining them. This isn’t just unprofessional; it’s damaging to the vibe that the bar has worked so hard to build. I really hope the owners recognize this before it turns into a pattern, because with the right leadership, State Bar could still be a top-tier spot. Here’s hoping they get it together before it’s too late.“

“After decorating at Charlie’s Awesome Venue I decided to pop over to the other side get a bite to eat. I was torn between the two burgers they currently have on the menu. I went with the blue cheese with bacon jam. I am here to tell you this was the best burger I have ever had in my life! Our server was pretty great as well. I will be back soon to get that awesome burger.!“

“Had a watch party hosted by the IU Alumni Assn. IU is your national champs!! We had wings and pizza, and both were acceptable. The wings would have been better if they had a crisper skin. It was kind of rubbery, but all the sauces were tasty and not too spicy.“

“All around great place to be! Great food, reasonable prices, super friendly staff! Definitely worth a try if you’re in or driving through the “08” area!“

“I absolutely love this bar, it’s my favorite go to tiny hole in the wall. Last time I was there I was sitting by the front entrance and someone opened the door then proceeded to fire off an automatic air soft gun. Luckily I had a thick coat on so all the ones that hit me didn’t hurt too much. I’m also very lucky that it wasn’t a real gun lolol always something new here“

“I just wanted to give a shout out to our amazing server Ali (apologies if not spelled correctly) Not only was the food amazing but our server was top notch. A very large group and handled with coolness and precision. Everyone after dinner went on and on! Great service is hard to find these days! ABATE of INDIANA will be back!“

“Tried the mamma sandwich today so good amazing food as always“

“Good wings. Good rolls. We will be back!“

“Best coffee house/bar/cafe in all of Fort Wayne!“

“We enjoyed dinner at Cork & Cleaver for our anniversary. The salad bar is outstanding, with top quality ingredients—and even chilled salad plates! For appetizers, we ordered the cream of broccoli soup and the crab cakes. The soup was nothing special, but the crab cakes were excellent—definitely on our list to repeat! For entrees, my husband ordered the fish special on polenta and I ordered the 21 shrimp platter with 3 flavors of shrimp and the stuffed mushrooms. Dessert was chocolate cake. During previous visits, we have also enjoyed the generous serving of the chocolate mud pie! The service was excellent. Be sure to get reservations if you want to get a table, especially on a weekend!“

“The Hi Ho Again is Poe all over again. Love it“

“We had an amzing fish sandwhich. I saw it and knew I would have to take some home. I was wrong. It was so good I made myself finish it! Everything was DELICIOUS.“
