    I like it. A great hometown bar with a limited menu. The beer was cold and the service friendly. Today was Game Day in a college town. Watching football and getting out of the cold. I sat at the bar felt very welcomed.

    Can't argue with my first review. Been here 3 times now.

    Had The Mariner, delicious!

    First, this is NOT an appropriate place for kids, and you'll be asked to leave if you bring them, this is an old style BAR. Adults only.

    My burger was delicious and the staff was friendly! Sorry I started eating it first. Greasy and great! Full of beef and gluten.

    If you love nostalgia and don't mind the smell of old smoke and a hint of pee, scratched paint and air vents hanging from straps, you'll love this place. It's like going back to the 60s or 70s!

    Be sure to enjoy the vintage Popeye sign from the 50's advertising a hamburger for 10¢!

    If not you probably should avoid it.

    This place leans into letting people self-select to not be here. But in my opinion that just means it has an unapologetic personality.

    I am NOT recommending this place for the sub 40 crowd, you probably won't like it and the regular won't feel bad about that. If you don't mind stepping out of your comfort zone in a big way, try it. If not they won't miss you.

    The View is quickly becoming one of our favorite spots in South Bend. Service is quick and very friendly, and the atmosphere is unmatched. Great place to watch football, get a quick bite to eat, or grab a drink with friends. Truly cannot recommend this place enough!
