We visited with a group of 20-30 people. The atmosphere was a bit loud, but that's to be expected. The owner was friendly and professional. Nice place!

Small cozy bar. The cocktails were fantastic and the drink list was extensive. We got some food and were surprised but so happy with how good it was, next time I will be trying the pizza. The staff was nice, but a little slow, I think they were a bit understaffed.

Was a nice atmosphere but server was terrible. Awful. Was interested in a certain bottle of tequila that I thought was for sale but was grabbed out of my hands as if I was a hooligan. Waiter talked about his "tits" to my family. Very bad. Completely inappropriate. Ridiculous. Never going back.

This drink was outstanding! I love fall and fall themed drinks, so this sweet potato, black walnut, and marshmallow combination was phenomenal! Seasonal, nostalgic, and deliciousNext time I'm in South Bend, I'm making it a point to stop back.

One of my favourite South Bend bars. Excellent, innovative cocktails and a regular rotation of local artists makes for a pleasant ambience. Outside sidewalk seating make this a central location for the increasingly hip East Bank neighborhood. A few simple, quality light meals are available if you need something to nibble onParking: Usually ample free on street parking within half a block.

An amazing find. THE place to relax and get a great cocktail in South Bend. The vibe/feel is unmatched. The owner (who is front and center) and the other bartenders are true pros. Fun. Funny. Knowledgeable. Every one I met.The detail in the design work in the bar is like nothing I’ve ever seen. The wall made of whiskey barrels, the concrete bar, the brick wall, the penny tile (real pennies) … it’s unique and special.By far, the best bar we have found in south bend or mishawaka.Not a sports bar. No $2 beers. Just great drinks and great people.

We want to like this place! We’ve given them many chances but the service is always so bad! The guy at Spirited gets out triple the drinks alone that several servers working at once here serve. They are always just standing around. Also their menu in store and online DO NOT have accurate prices. Update!

I love the vibe that this bar puts out. We're friends with the owners and they really made this place special. Craft cocktails and spirits that go beyond the borders of the states. Although I haven't tried the food, I've heard good things. If you're exploring downtown South bend and haven't been here, make it a point to stop and check it out.

The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and clearly inspired by their craft. I was not disappointed when asking for recommendations and the bartenders were eager to answer questions and make drinks off-menu based on my taste. I was able to try some new things and got some great ideas to take back to my at-home bar. Food was fantastic, small plates were actually quite large. Wonderful.

Friendly bartenders, good selection of alcohol, well-made creative cocktails alongside the tried and trues. The live music was enjoyable. My first time here, but won’t be my last.

Make sure to bring your sock hat and ironic jacket, as it does have a bit of a hipster vibe but the staff are very friendly and the place is clean and centrally located
