1516 North Ironwood Drive, South Bend

“I went there last night. After a minor issue within my party. Britney and Melissa were amazing bartenders. Kept checking on us and were super helpful. I’ve never been to south bend or even Indiana before this weekend. But if I ever come back. This will be the first bar I go to. Quite bar after a crazy Irish football weekend. Would recommend 10/10. Thank you all kindly”

2 Shamrocks sports bar

4.6 Superb 19 Reviews

415 South Lafayette Boulevard Suite 200-B, South Bend

“Shamrocks Sports Bar hits all the right notes for a classic, welcoming neighborhood pub. The bar area itself is remarkably spacious, well-lit, and kept spotless, giving you plenty of room to relax without ever feeling cramped. The game-day energy is fantastic, with plenty of well-placed screens so you never miss a play. The staff is quick, friendly, and keeps the drinks cold and coming even during peak crowds. The food goes well beyond typical bar fare—the wings come out hot and crisp with solid sauce options, and the burgers are always freshly grilled and flavorful. It’s clean, unpretentious, and easily one of the best spots in South Bend to grab a stool, catch a game, and relax with friends. Highly recommended!”

“was in SB for a night and found a great dive bar - McCormicks - cool place for a beer and some pinball - asked the owner where to go for a good burger and he directed me up the road to CJs Pub - said they are the best around! I gave it a shot and was not disappointed. Ordered one of their specialty burgers with Canadian bacon, mushrooms, and cheese. Wow. it was delicious! and huge! Waffle fries were also great and beer was ice cold. If I lived in SB, this would definitely be a regular stop for an awesome burger.”

“The singer on Friday night was great! He played top country radio hits, but he seemed to know everything. The host/bartender was a fun guy who gave me a candy bar for a treat as I was low sugar 😆 and not drinking! Fun time tucked away in a random hotel bar near Notre Dame the place was jamming so apparently everybody knows about it”

They gave us a lot of extra napkins and extra ranch cups and the food was fresh when I picked it up and no hiccups or anything wrong! Fantastic experience and will be using this location as a future catering option for parties :)”

“I was pleasantly surprised to see an Applebee's near an event I attended at this location, & they are open late until midnight or 1am. My party & I were so hungry that we dug in as soon as the food arrived, & I didn't take any pictures. But let me tell you, the food tasted excellent! A little on the salty side, but it was hot & just as we ordered. My mom & I both asked to substitute grilled chicken for the fried chicken in the Parmesean Chicken Dinner, which we received. However, be aware that the restaurant will charge you an upcharge to substitute. Our waiter, Nick, was personable & friendly & readily answered our questions about the menu. We will definitely be back to try some other meals!”
