Midway Tavern Bar with pool tables in Mishawaka, IN

The music is top notch on a Saturday night. Expect a bar that's been around for almost 100 years as it was established in 1924. Single stall bathrooms and long thin rooms and where they stack the tables together....it's like sardines. Claustrophobia will set in.

Do not just drive by this gem. This historic bar has the right kind of dive vibe. Tiny from the front, the bar area leads to a dance hall with great acoustics. It has not changed since the 1930s and it is covered with pictures and signatures from many Blues greats.

Good single craft bottle selection. Slow overall on most night. But when there is a show, wow. Used to be a speak easy and the hidden room is a stage. National level blues here, honestly. Not all the time but check the schedule. I've talked with the bartender and the 93 yr old woman who's family has been running it.

This is the best post apocalyptic day care ever. After a long day in the irradiated sand wastes, it is such a warm and pleasant feeling to pick up your mutated little tykes. And it is even better when you know they are well looked after.
