If you need hangover food on Sunday morning, this is the place to go. Whatever you're hungry for, they probably have a version of it.
If you're actually looking for an area to have fun, day or night, the closest, and best representative of "The Region" is the Square in Crown Point. This downtown area (where John Dillinger's famed escape occurred) is full of bars, shops, food & drink and historical sites. Suggested visits include; Zodiac Café & Lounge, Tavern On Main, Crown Point Theatre, The Copper Butterfly, and more.
Y'all like bowling and drinking beer? Here. ...that's all I got.
