Things To Do
The Hoppy Gnome
We had our first date here! Their tacos and sangria are AMAZING. Since then, they've also started brewing their own beer through Gnometown Brewing, just across the lobby.
J K O'Donnell's
This is one of our favorite places - you have to try their Man and Superman cocktail!
Summit City Brewerks
2021 will be our third consecutive year as mug club members here.. enough said!
Copper Spoon
Phenomenal craft cocktails - their full wine, spirit, and cocktail menu is over twenty pages long so there is something for everyone.
Proximo
This is a great place for upscale Latin fusion. Dinner is awesome, but their brunch really shouldn't be missed!
816 Pint & Slice
Pizza and beer - what else do you need?
Burger Bar Fort Wayne - OPEN
If you're staying at the Hampton Downtown, you won't even have to leave your hotel for amazing burgers!
Conner's Rooftop Fort Wayne - OPEN
This is located (on the roof, obviously), of the Hampton Downtown
Conner's Kitchen + Bar
This is on the first floor of the Courtyard Marriott where we have arranged a hotel block. If available, their brunch is absolutely amazing!
Hop River Brewing Company
There is so much good beer in the Fort that it's hard to pick a favorite, but this is definitely up there in the rankings. It's also black-owned!
Nawa - Inspired Asian Cuisine & Cocktails
Upscale Asian fusion on the newly revitalized Landing.
Landing Beer Co
BBQ and beer, also on the Landing, just a few doors down from Nawa.
Mercado
Another restaurant on The Landing, right across from Landing Beer Co. This place started as a taco truck and now they've expanded into a brick and mortar with an amazing full menu of Latin fusion, tequila, and mezcal.
Fortlandia Brewing Company
When they say nanobrewery, they mean it. This place is small, but the quality is top-notch.
Trubble Brewing
Great bar food, pizza, and more local beer.. are you sensing a theme yet?
Taqueria El Ranchito
This is one of our favorite places for tacos, but we feel obligated to warn our guests - their service can be pretty inconsistent.
Promenade Park
This is the park where we took our engagement photos, and is part of the Riverfront Fort Wayne revitalization project.
Fort Wayne Public Art
The amount of public art downtown has grown immensely over the last few years. A downloadable PDF of sculpture and mural locations is available by clicking 'View'!
