So Much To Do In South Bend!

Food scene

Take a relaxing and picturesque half mile stroll along the river walk and you'll arrive at the Farmer's Market where you'll find fresh fruits, vegetables and local arts and crafts. If all the browsing works up an appetite, you'll definitely want to enjoy breakfast or lunch at the Farmer's Market Cafe while you're there. Their biscuits and gravy are the best and their omelets are easily big enough for two.

If you like the type of bar that prides itself on fresh, creative cocktails, you'll love Hammer & Quill. A local favorite, the space is a visual feast and the drinks are even better. Make sure to check out the South Bend flag penny floor while you're there and the gorgeous mural on the east side of the building.

While our house has multiple coffee stations, there's something about getting your java at a local coffee shop that can make a vacation better. Just three blocks away, the General is THE place for a great cup of joe and maybe for a muffin or sandwich if the urge strikes.

You know that local bar, the one where the floors might be a bit sticky and the linoleum might be peeling but the burgers are amazing and everyone is just so darn nice you want to stay there forever? That's the View and it's only four blocks away. If comfort food was a bar, this is the bar it would be.

When it comes to pizza, South Bend's go-to place is Barnaby's. Just three blocks away, it's an easy pick-up for pizza at the house or a great place to sit down and enjoy the character of this South Bend staple. Oh, and no order would be complete without the cheesy garlic bread. Really, that alone is worth the short walk over, it's sooooo good.

When it comes to iconic South Bend bars, none is more 'The Place' than Corby's. Do you remember the famous Notre Dame based movie Rudy? The bar scene was filmed right here and it still carry's the flavor and fun of that film. Add in great food, a kicking DJ late night and some of the best bartenders this town has ever seen, and Corby's is a stop you're really going to want to make.

Sightseeing

There is nothing like Notre Dame during football season but, really, there's nothing like Notre Dame all year long! You can walk the beautiful campus, experience the Stations of the Cross, light a candle in the grotto and browse for a souvenir at Hammes Bookstore year round. This house is just two miles up the road from campus with our street ending right at the Golden Dome.
