Things To Do
Dainty Maid Food Hall & Event Space
Bride and groom's favorite place to eat for breakfast and lunch! Be aware - THEY CLOSE AT 2PM
South Bend Chocolate Cafe
We celebrated here after getting married at the courthouse! Another great place to grab coffee or get lunch.
Barnaby's South Bend
Classic spot in South Bend for pizza. This place has had the same interior since it opened in the 70's. Take a step back in time and experience the splendor of wooden paneling and square shaped pizza.
Nom Nom Pho
Quaint place for pho!
PEGGS
Affordable restaurant for breakfast.
Woochi Japanese Fusion & Bar
Great restaurant if you are craving sushi.
South Bend Brew Werks
Family friendly brewpub with pizza, sandwiches, and a bar where you can pay beer forward.
The Exchange Bar
Note: They do not have a food menu! This is a bar so no minors allowed. The original Exchange location draws its inspiration from its home inside the Citizens’ Bank & Trust Building, which was built in 1913 and is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Once a bank, the marble walls and wrought iron accents still make it easy to imagine where the tellers would be.
Fiddler's Hearth
Traditional Celtic pub in downtown South Bend with live traditional Irish music most evenings. Excellent authentic Irish food. Minors allowed.
