Reviews for The Garage Arcade Bar in South Bend, IN
Fun environment but awful service! Was refused a second drink; not for being too indulged but due to a cocky bartender upset... about my first drink ever there and not being tipped!! I?ll thank the not so clean shaven service for losing customer status andrespect. Would not recommend as $5 cover fee was needed to get in but they refuse a second beverage due to lack of 10-20%tip $1-2. Read more
Great atmosphere, upbeat, edm music with fun remixes and lots of base. Small but good selection of games to play for fun, though... I will say a few need to have some work done. Switch and Xbox in the separate room. Friendly Bartender with tasty drinks. Nofood unfortunately except some chips. Come for the drinks. Stay for the cornhole. Read more
Totally love the atmosphere and vibe everyone is very friendly and the bartenders are fun and outgoing. Have a great selection... of vintage games for you to play for free as well as a side room that has a modern gaming console in it and movies for viewing.They feature live music acts throughout the week and their drinks are priced great!

Total slack on actual arcade games. The layout makes the space feel forced. It feels like some kids basement with over priced... cocktails. However I have seen way better basement set ups. Disappointed. Read more
Solid arcade game choices, it just felt too crowded for me (granted I went on a Saturday evening with friends). Good drink... choice - I think they were called swampwater shots, they were pretty good, those are what I imagine Shrek likes to drink whenhe?s turning up. There was this blue Star Wars themed drink that was really good too, can?t remember what it was called but Icould feel the force flowing into me. Read more
Very friendly and safe environment with the staff and the kind of customers this place draws in. The arcade choices are very... diverse - people in my group who don't play video games all found at least one game they loved playing. Tried three drinks: TomHolland, blue milk, and a Redbull-based drink and all three were delicious. All the other drinks on their menu sounded reallygood as well. With the variety of flavors/combinations offered, everyone in your group should be able to find a drink they like. Read more
Super fun atmosphere with cheap drinks and free play on all video games. The indoors has a wide variety of games for anyone of... any age. There?s also a. Nice patio space outside, connected by open garage doors. Once the live music started it was a bit loudand difficult to talk over, but fun nonetheless. Read more
What a fun bar! Free retro video games. Great beers and wines, and full bar. I believe the outdoor seating is dog friendly.
