Favorite Region Bar! The staff are all super knowledgeable and can make you any drink you’d like off menu. The food is great and it’s perfect for small groups, date night or a solo night out! Maggie is amazing and always delivers top notch drinks and service!

Excellent everything! Drinks menu is fun and has good variety. Food is small bites, but they’re a nice change up from traditional bar-fare. Staff was also welcoming and fun. Atmosphere is 10/10 with records plying from vintage speakers. Places like this will stick around because they have a confident brand personality that needs to stand out in the Downtown Valparaiso scene. This fits that perfectly!

Came here with my boyfriend passing through from Chicago. We came on a Thursday, which was moderately busy (how we like it because we’re old) but I guess on the weekends it gets pretty crazy. We had an amazing time with Maggie as our bartender and Austin as our historian and whiskey condenser. The food was phenomenal and the music was played on a record player. They have unique cocktails and small bites. A perfect place to start or end the night. We’ll be back!!!

Hidden bar at the edge of central park in valparaiso. Look for the vacancy sign to see if there’s room for you and your friends. Great cocktails, solid small food menu and they have a twinkie on a platter for a $1. Also, they spin great vinyl on a fantastic sound system.

Great service, atmosphere is unlike anything I’ve seen in NW Indiana… really great vibe! Small, but inviting. Great cocktails and as a whiskey fan, the only place in the area I’ve seen that offers pours of GTS, Pappy, Blantons Gold, and some other great whiskeys.

The absolute best old fashioned I have ever had! Not too sweet, heavy on the Woodford, and the perfect product! Highly recommend!

We stopped into Waiting Room for dinner and drinks. We loved the vinyl bar! It was a cool experience and we liked the vibe. We like the music themed drink names. We enjoyed it so much that we went back the next night for snack and drinks. Would recommend the puppy chowza!

Fun atmosphere. Friendly staff. Pork lettuce wraps were incredible. My friend and I had fun trying the different drinks. The VooDoo Child was a favorite!

A late night walk in downtown Valparaiso has brought me to the popular and well-liked divebar, The Waiting Room! Located next to the Downtown Amphitheater, it’s a quick walk from any of downtown Valparaiso’s attractions. Come and check it out!
