14 Best Bars in Valparaiso

“Very fun place, our waitress was the sweetest and very considerate. Tried going two other times and couldn't make it. I'm so glad I was able to get in, dine upstairs, and dinner was excellent. It was so nice having grilled octopus instead of fried calamari. Lamb chops were perfect, and I had the "scalabet" for my entree. We finished it off with a cookie skillet. I was STUFFED, so it's worth it.“

“The staff at Lincoln Flats is always top notch. The best service around.“

“Dynamite selection of beers and an intimate atmosphere to socialize.“

“Visited for the first time a few weeks ago on karaoke night and am still telling others about the positive experience I had! Amanda and Moe (or AMMO for short 😁)were my servers that night and they couldn't have been kinder or more attentive. I had seen Joe, the karaoke host, at another establishment before and knew what to expect. He does an excellent job of hosting and uses better equipment than many of the bars around here, which enhances the performing and listening experience. The only "bad" thing I can say about Tommy B's is I wish they offered food after 10PM, even if it was just appetizers. Thank you, AMMO and Joe for a great night! Look forward to coming back soon!“

“Have dined many times and had a great experience; tonight was truly outstanding. Pairing of Foie Gras with Venison Loin and mushroom sauce was lights out. It takes skill to make wild game delicious and this was spot on. Cocktails were also fantastic (as always). This is a hidden gem in town and in the Region.“

“Very great experience ! Very polite and kind waitress. Will definitely be back when I’m in the area again.“

“on 8/12, my daughter and GrandKids stopped in. our server was Jamie, and she was amazing! my 7 year old GrandSon has such an imagination and was talking with his ideas of his Godzilla toy and the train, and she was so kind to listen to him attentively and it really made his night! she also was checking if we needed anything thru the meal. very personable and upbeat. Thanks for the great service Jamie!! Jodi Taylor“

“Best thing about Northside is metal Mondays!! The best pizza in the region and metal/punk music @ 5pm cheap drinks and killer food. Definitely check this place out.“

“It is always a wonderful experience here. Food is amazing, atmosphere is pleasant, staff is wonderful, and so friendly. We went for Christmas dinner and weren't disappointed.“

“Best bar in the region hands down. Love all the bartenders and the atmosphere. This the place to go if you’re tryin to catch a social buzz“

“Pikk’s Tavern might just be the best spot in Valparaiso. Went there tonight for my birthday and in July for my wife’s birthday. Jay was there both of those times and he’s so nice and welcoming. Natalie was our server this last time and she was the bomb as well. This place got me hooked on mules and when we returned tonight I seen they had an apple pie mule on the menu that I had to try. 10/10 that drink was absolutely amazing, I had to have a couple. I had the open faced steak sandwich with fries and my wife had the filet. They always bring out their signature steak sauce that’s made in house. At first I was skeptical because a good steak doesn’t need a steak sauce and this one definitely didn’t either. Juicy, cooked to perfection and flavorful. Well their steak sauce just turns it all up a notch. It’s good on the steak, fries or whatever else you want to dip or douse it in. Both times we’ve been there they’ve substituted our birthday desert for us as we’re not the biggest cake fans. They let us get the brownie and it is seriously the best end cap to dinner. We will be going here again and again for our special nights out as not only are the food and drinks delicious but the atmosphere makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time but in a very homey way.“

“My husband and I had such a wonderful time we had just stormed out of a restaurant that ignored 🙁 us for 45 min
And then our server Courtney at chili's made our experience excellent 👌 she was empathetic to our previous experience and when our son started to get impatient because he'd been out longer then expected she held him and comforted him while we ate our dinner being hungry desperately annoyed parents of a tired cranky infant that was huge for us. Thx for making our night memorable in a great way!“

“Our Mother's Day brunch reservations were accommodated, although service was somewhat delayed due to high volume. The food quality was exceptional, with the exception of the biscuits and gravy, which were not the best we have experienced. However, all other dishes were phenomenal. The owner's thoughtful gesture of providing complimentary chocolate-dipped strawberries and cookies for my daughter was greatly appreciated. I highly recommend this establishment for brunch.“

“I love all the different choices you have with the sauces and wing rubs. Cold beer and games on the tv. I couldn't ask for anything more.“
