17 Best Bar & Grill in South Bend

“Great spot for a drink or a nice meal. Innovative menu, friendly service and fun atmosphere. We're 5 minutes away so Pejza's is our go to spot for dinner out.“

“Best fish meal in town! Never disappoints“

“The View is quickly becoming one of our favorite spots in South Bend. Service is quick and very friendly, and the atmosphere is unmatched. Great place to watch football, get a quick bite to eat, or grab a drink with friends. Truly cannot recommend this place enough!“

“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.“

“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 🥰“

“omg their food is amazing, a must on the oxtail stew, to die for the meat is so tender, the flavor of spices just dance in your mouth😋👍👍“

“I’m in town for work for two weeks and ran across this place. I started out with their cheeseburger and fries, which was delicious. After talking with some of the staff, I was told about their wings which are smoked and then fried, so of course I had to try them. They were absolutely delicious, without sauce. I will be back to try some with the sauces.“

“Classic south bend restaurant!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Good food, cold beer, fast service...“

“Me and my husband were at the bar last night. Bo was our bartender and he was awesome. He made us feel so welcome. We didn't eat we were there looking for a friend. He was very personable and welcoming for us out of town guest. Thanks again for the great hospitality.“

“10/10, lexi was our server tonight. my husband and i could both tell she was extremely busy and probably overwhelmed but yet did a fantastic job anyway. she was quick to apologize for any wait (it wasn’t even that long) and also left us a sweet message reading “good seeing you guys again” on the receipt, as she recognized us from a couple weeks ago and even remembered my daughter’s go to drink. my daughter was excited when she found out lexi was our server actually because she remembered liking her last time. she was very attentive with my kids, making sure she understood exactly what they wanted and were comfortable being in a place that could be seen as overwhelming for a child. she even bonded with my youngest son over bluey and paw patrol. that type of service really makes a difference. my son was so excited. once she walked away after that conversation, all he kept saying was “mom, mom, her favorite is chase, just like me!” it warmed my heart.
she was clearly incredibly busy and still managed to find the time to make my son feel special. we will 100% be requesting lexi’s section everytime we come in from here on out, as per request of my both my children also.“

“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.“
