The Waiting Room in downtown Valparaiso is a popular dive bar with a vintage rock feel and a good vibe. Located next to the Downtown Amphitheater, it features a collection of vinyl records playing on a fantastic sound system. This cocktail lounge offers tasty munchies for a refined palate or affordable snacks, including the best French dip, as one customer praised. Mocktails for nondrinkers are also available. It is a nostalgic place where someone with an Old Fashioned and a fillet might sit next to someone with a 40oz beer and a Twinkie. The staff are known for their creativity and friendliness, making the experience enjoyable. The Waiting Room is a clean, intimate space with great decor and music, creating a unique atmosphere unlike anything else in NW Indiana. Customers have praised the amazing cocktails, including pours of GTS, Pappy, and Blanton's Gold. The bar is small but inviting, making it a must-visit place in Valparaiso. Guests enjoy the music-themed drink names and have recommended the puppy chowza.
