Madison Oyster Bar

Came for the music but stayed for the smell of the grill. Best service and food," BY FAAARRRRR! at 10:15pm or anytime. Madison Oyster Bar Downtown South Bend BABY! Best food. MADISON BAR BURGER. Stop with the nonsense! Literally hit the spot. If you are looking for just a place to chill with a drink, and amazing food till 3am. This is the place! Shout out to my Boy Mike! Love you My people! Oh yeah it's 12:22am and I just ordered another Madison Oyster Bar Burger. This is South Bend's Best spot. BAR!! None like it!

Me and my 4 friends, who are all seniors at Notre Dame and 21 to 22 years old, were denied from this bar for not having an ID from Michigan or Indiana that was 25 or more years old. We came here at about 8pm after going to some other establishments in south bend on a senior year celebration bar crawl. We had no trouble anywhere else but at this bar, they took a quick look at one of the five peoples IDs and immediately said that the whole group was not allowed in, and would not accept us trying to show multiple other forms of ID to confirm our age. Just an interesting way to run a bar in a downtown area near a college… being strict on fake IDs is one thing, but not letting anyone in who is under 25 because you don’t have someone on staff who can tell a real ID from a fake ..? Would give 0 stars if I could

I’ve been here three times now and have yet to have a good experience. They not only have an interesting dress code including not allowing individuals to wear Durags, plains white shirts, sweatpants and open toed shoes but have also turned us away for having an out of state license. Interesting way to run a business

Have yet to enjoy this bar. I first went here after moving to South Bend and was asked to show three valid forms of IDs which was not asked of any other patron in our group. Since going back they have changed their policy to not allow anyone under 25. Additionally the staff has added a targeted dress code which is "interesting" to say the least. I wish the staff the best of luck as I've heard nothing but good things about this bar so it has been incredbily dissapointing to have these experiences.

I tried to come here for my best friends 22nd birthday party, and they told me that we couldnt get in because we were not 25+. I can assure you that we will never be back, as the owner of this bar clearly does not want young or diverse vibrant individuals at this bar. I am truly ashamed, especially considering we are in downtown South Bend, which is typically very accepting to diverse individuals. Shame on you Madison Oyster Bar.
