Spirited: what do users think?
Anna Repp: I want to call out the bartender who did not let me take pictures of the place (Wednesday night). I read a lot about the Spirited, it was on my list of South Bend places to visit. I was not planning to visit tonight, but decided to take a look inside anyway. Just took a few steps in and immediately loved how the place looked. So I asked the bartender if I can take some pictures. I explained I was not staying tonight but definitely want to come back tomorrow. However, the bartender was not welcoming at all. He kept asking why I want to take pictures and kept telling me that if I plan to come back I should take them then. I'm not an influencer or anything, I do not take those photos for living. I'm just a 45 y.o. fat tourist with a limp who just wanted some snapshots of a place I liked... I felt so unwelcome and I thought the bartender was unnecessarily mean to me for no reason. Sorry, but I will not be coming back. I know losing one tourist customer means nothing to you guys, but I've never experienced such meanness before, and I feel I need to point it out.
Anastasia Solache: my favorite bar in the area for sure. The drinks are always good and the bartender Matt is great!
Walter Trzop: Great place for conversation and creative cocktails
Knut Lovhoiden: Great NYE experience! Owner and staff have created a unique environment; stop by for an amazing 'Spirited' mix drink. They also have other beverages if beer or wine are more your thing.
A Kroner: Completely loved this place! The vibe and the aesthetician was amazing and the staff was even better. You could tell they cared about their customers with making sure they enjoyed their drinks and were well hydrated too. They've definitely found a loyal customer here!
Shann Kramer: Fun atmosphere and experienced mixologist!
Eric V: Phenomenal drinks, service, and ambience. Matt was super knowledgeable and friendly, and struck the perfect balance between professional service and friendly bartender/mixologist.
Ashley Wright: Very nice drink selection. Great ambiance and staff. Very friendly patrons. Would definitely come back!
Carla Simmons: We love stopping here for a cocktail or two! Matt is an amazing mixologist. He is attentive and very creative. In the photos the drink on the right is an old fashion. The drink on the left is a drink that Matt got creative with. The atmosphere here is very cozy and inviting. This really is a place everyone should experience at least once.
Amanda Wynen: I've been a few times and have enjoyed the atmosphere and drinks. I love that I can try new drinks when I'm there. They don't just have your regular cocktails, they have alcoholic works of art. It's definitely one of my favorite places to recommend for drinks.That chocolate and marshmallow drink had my mom start making a list of people to invite so she can come back and get another one.
Les Dabney: Really, really, good cocktails. The updated the look inside. Very nice!
Chuck3791: This dark and brooding space has ironically IMMACULATE vibes. Great music, TASTY drinks, and comfy couches prime wonderful conversation.I came here for a sassy but laid back bachelorette party and also a date night with my husband.I will definitely be coming back! :)
Tim grontkowski: Awesome place.!
Ryan s: Very cool place, bartender was awesome
Marc Wertenberger: Great drinks and atmosphere, I highly recommend stopping by!
Christian Villalobos: I absolutely love coming here.
Jennifer Grotegut: We were here for the first time and we will return. Matt makes the best cocktails, he makes every person that walks in the door his priority and makes sure they get the drink they want. He is a cocktail magician. Barman Prince has a great sense of humor and the two make a fabulous team.
Weston Mariottini: Chef is awesome
Tara Mullin: Awesome atmosphere. Drinks are phenomenal, Matt the mixologist is a genius. Spirited is such a gem!
Zach Ferreira: very bad service. the vibe is very cool, the drinks are okay.
Biker Dad: The passionate bartenders, environment and decor keep me coming back. Best bar in South Bend, hands down.

The Exchange Whiskey Bar: what do users think?
Donald Eldridge: Smoked ol fashioned......great atmosphere, downstairs is better than up
Lyndale Mullet: Great selection of spirits
Reilly Sullivan: I’ve had espresso martinis at Ruth Chris and other places in South Bend. Shelby at the exchange blows it out of the water. Highly recommended.
Tony Pellico: This place is a hidden Gem!!! Unbelievable SB has a Bar that is Big City Livin!!! Thank you Anna for serving us up! Shelby u were epic in our visit! Keep mixxing!!!!
Jake Robertson: Knowledgeable staff. Nice environment. Great drinks.
Shane Oakley: Ambiance is nice, but service is always so slow. Had 1 drink in a 2 hour time span, and not enough attention given to patrons who sit at the tables. It's also not very clear on if a server will be around to assist or not upon walking in. Makes for an irritating experience.
Amy Radke: Was looking for somewhere new to go on Valentine’s Day and found this place! Wow! What a great decision! The atmosphere was cozy and perfect for me and my date! The old fashioneds were amazing along with the charcuterie board that we had! The waitress was also very friendly and wonderful! Another plus was the the history of the building! We will definitely be back! Thanks Whiskey Exchange Bar for a perfect Valentines Day!
David L: This place is great! Ask for Shelby, she has a ton of knowledge and introduced me to a few bourbons I wasn't aware of that are fantastic! I will be back the next time I am in South Bend!
Evan Christenson: Friendly staff
Joshua Oliver: An amazing place to just relax with assorted wines
Caitlin McClain: I went to the Exchange Whiskey Bar on Monday and it was not a planned trip. The assistant manager was the one to serve me. She knew what she was talking about lead me to the path of a drink that I really enjoyed. Looking forward to going back again. Sure the price might scare some but you actually getting twice the amount of booze than what you would get anywhere else. Plus no headache or hangover the next day was nice. Thank you for opening my taste pallet to better whiskey!
Christine Sloan: Amazing experience. The bartenders are so thoughtful and the cocktails and food are the best!
Katelyn McInerney: Had a fabulous time, highly recommend. Nicky and Shelby were great and attentive. :)
Mel: Shelby was an amazing bartender- made one of the best old fashioned I have ever had. Although it was crowded we received our drinks quickly and with fitness.I always love the atmosphere of this place and the consistency of the food and drinks!!!! I almost feel like I’m back in time
Eric Martinez: Chill spot
Tariro Walters: Shelby was a gem! Had a great time with my sister. Definitely recommend checking this place out. I loved the vibe and the Christmas trees they have!
Brian Fruchey: Selection here is king. The sheer amount of bourbons, scotches, and lots of other liquor to drink is amazing. While this was a darker atmosphere and beautiful in its own right, it was too upity and hip for my liking.
Bill Hiscock: Love this place! Great atmosphere, very laid back and cool, and the drinks are works of art. This will definitely be one of my go-to South Bend hangouts going forward.
Eli Cantu: Love this bar ! My favorite whisky bar in south bend!
Peter Pajakowski: Such a cool atmosphere. Wonderful staff. And outstanding cocktails. It has a unique feel to it, as though it is the lobby of an old 5-star boutique hotel, the kind that has a rich history, and is perhaps renowned for being the birthplace of a classic cocktail or something.
Catherine: First time here and not the let. Had the pumpkin sour and it was delicious for all those pumpkin lovers out there. Quality whiskey bar vibes and a great selection. Shelby was great too!

If your in SB and your not having drinks here then you should be. Skip the hotel bars & pretenders. The Hideaway is the place.
Jacqueline Kidwell: Bartender is very knowledgeable and has awesome hair. Cool atmosphere.
Patrick Ferguson: Fun little bar in downtown. Staff is great. Have the food! Panini’s are fantastic! I go whenever I’m in town!
jessica carpenter: We will never go back to this place.Its very dark, drinks are extremely expensive (we ordered 2 - double vodka/Cranberry and they charged us $35 for the 2 drinks) that was a first for us. The drinks that were made were awful...its not hard to make a proper vadka cran... anyways, we paid and left without drinking our drinks because they were just terrible. The staff/possible owner (?) who sat at the bar drinking his own stock, wanted to argue with us about the price of our 2 drinks. ...just rude...I would never treat my customers like that 😒.
Dave Williams: Great drinks
Camelrider: Jerry is always a great host. The guests in the building are fun as well. Old Forester Manhattans served up, as cold as can be, are the best. Great atmosphere, and great drinks.

Omar Rivera: Always a great experience, one of the South Bend gems. Great wine and charcuterie board. Just tried their brunch, and now it's added to my weekend getaways.
Morgan O'Grady: Awesome wine, great flatbread, and atmosphere! Definitely recommend!!
Danielle Sautter: Baked feta and olives...Need I say more?Fine, I’m done drooling, so I’ll say more.Ironhand has the best dry sparkling wine (The Michigan Brut 🙌🏽❤️) and flat breads. It’s the perfect date night spot, place for a girl’s night out, or for a group and has great ambience and a chill vibe. There’s nothing really like it in the area, which makes it a well-loved gem in the center of the city. I’ve always had great service and good food and love to be able to support this special small business.UPDATE - Came back again on St. Patty's Day and Liz served our work group. She was amazing, and I hear she is one of the OG employees of Ironhand - Thanks Liz! While everyone else was out drinking green beer we were having amazing truffle fries and whipped feta with olives and naan bread....heavenly - Definitely recommend! The wine was flowing, and apparently very easily Liz convinced me to join the wine club. Now I'll receive wine twice a year and receive a discount on pretty much everything when I come back...twist my arm!

The Hammer & Quill: what do users think?
nathan day: Great hand crafted cocktails lovely atmosphere
Marcus Newton: Great drinks and a great place to have conversations with people including staff! It was very welcoming!
Spencer T: 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
Jerry Roberts: Great drinks.
Austin Simmons: Great drinks and amazing steak street tacos!
Pascual Lopez: This is the place to visit. Do not lose your jaw when you walk in because the amount of whiskey they have is intense. The pricing for the drinks and whiskey are fair and reasonable. It is easy to spend over $100 here regularly because every time you go, they have more rare treats. Was able to have some whiskeys I have been searching for at a retail cost and not price gouging. Hammer & Quill is the bees' knees.
Mark Schurr: Great drinks and atmosphere. Good snacks too.
AnonymousDog: Top notch aesthetic and service. Get top shelf options here. Tapas are light, tasty, premium ingredients.
Michelle Walters: Attentive and knowledgeable staff. Had an enjoyable and relaxed experience and a good quality cocktail.
Gerard Welling: They know how to mix a drink.
Jeff Hiatt: Best kept secret in South Bend!! Great vibe, great staff, and great whiskey selection, reasonably priced.
Suzanne Thomas: Fun cocktails. Friendly good service. Limited eats menu. Mainly small plates. Indoor and outdoor seating.
Barb Pietraszewski: Fantastic drinks and a great atmosphere!
Christopher Kueppers: Great little place with a great environment. They have cool plans for what they want to do with the place, they have awesome service, they're welcoming, and they're personable people. They're always trying out new recipes, so there's always something awesome and new to try. Plus, if you want to reserve the place for a whole event you can! This will become a regular place for me. I highly recommend them for a great night.Update: they have actually improved since my last review! They have more drinks, a bigger menu for food, and are constantly becoming faster, more personable, and just... better! When I thought it seemed like a place that was constantly going to scale itself in an upwards direction, I wasn't wrong. And I'm looking forward to seeing what else they're capable of in the future, including catering for events! Not even joking, they can do that!
fernando izaguirre: Had a great time with my date. I don’t usually order tacos but when I do, it’s from a Mexican restaurant or a taco truck, so decided to give them a try here and they were amazing!!! Had a great time!!
amanda havens: Mike is awesome!
Gary Hepting: Owner is awesome. Had a couple of really good local IPAs at this place. Really cool vibe
Spencer Felix: This was our second stop on a DTSB food and drink tour on Saturday night. We sat outside so we could hear the music festival coming from Howard Park.The drinks were excellent. We did not order food however it smelled amazing. The staff was very polite and attentive. However they were not well versed in their menus.I am looking forward to going back to eat and try some of there food.
John Bratcher: Best Old Fashion I've had in town.
Jered Spansell: Drinks were decent. Charcuterie board was great. Tacos were good also.
James MC: Nice place. The drinks, together with the ambiance, were stellar. Loved it.

Madison Oyster Bar: what do users think?
Anna Jordan: Best bartenders, good food and good drinks. Busy but not crazy and games. Third level is a party😁
nathan day: Great food everything from pork chops club sandwich loaded frys to the fresh oysters on the half shell 🐚 😋
Didimo Arreola: Definitely on my top 5 list of bars in south bend! Amazing vibes, great customer service, the food is good too, obviously. Will definitely recommend to friends and family, always. They have Touchtunes so you can play your own music 3. I've become a fan.
Shaun Rodeman: Laid back atmosphere, great food, & friendly staff
Chris Reeves: Great drinks, great food, great staff as always!
Dez S.: Super chill and a variety of space with three different floors. It was easy to find a quiet spot up on the third floor. Enjoyed the bar tenders and drinks. Loved the Mac and cheese bites!
Jolinda Anderson: Really nice place, the oysters were amazing and our waitress was great as well as the cook who kept our oysters coming and delivered them to our table. Definitely will be coming back!
Jerry Roberts: The service was great. Food was good. Highly recommend this place.
Paty Carlson: Best Oysters and Sea Food. I have tried for Six years to get a reservations on a Irish Football Weekend. Loving tonight .
Amie Myers: Great martini, house made french fries, nicely seasoned pork chops (its not on the menu so ask), fun patrons, new-to-me shots (mini beer and Irish breakfast). Fun place! And I kept the pool table all night 😉😁 Every town should have a bar like Madison Oyster Bar.
Arthur Jackson: Owner was outstanding allowed a family member to come in despite not being dressed appropriately because he was good friends with my cousin. And made a exception.
Lavonne Monaghan: Very comfortable atmosphere, great food & staff!!

Jordan Martsolf: This place is absolutely amazing. The owner not only gave us a personalized experience but also welcomed us with great suggestions as new customers. The oysters are ordered fresh daily and delivered to the restaurant which was demonstrated through the restaurant’s impeccably fresh food. The service was fantastic and we quickly felt comfortable in this welcoming, comforting place. Would recommend 10/10 to anyone coming and looking for fresh seafood in south bend for a nice dinner with amazing service.
Ryan Richardson: Place was crowded and alittle on the rowdier side (11pm). Lukewarm draft beer served in a plastic cup (90's pizza hut style). Was staying in the hotel nearby, so it was only a short walk which was one of the only positives. Should have found another place elsewhere to unwind after work.
Anthony Riddle: Medicine oyster bar is a quaint local bar. Their food reminds me of a better time before the struggle of life and adulthood. When I want to go on a date with my so I come here. The food is amazing and vary reasonably priced! Try the Chilli cheese friez they will change your lifeal!
Samuel DiLorenzo: Great service, good beer on tap, I had fish sandwich and mozzarella sticks both were good
Patrick Ferguson: It was closed all through COVID (and after) and I was really looking forward to it opening again. It was open after midnight on a Saturday. Was turned away at the door bc my friend was wearing a white T-shirt. Never again….
Denise Dubois: 1st time there for me! Awesome food and workers!!
