Really warm spot, divey in spirit, but clean in fashion. Affordable, tasty food. Very friendly staff. Prices great & Yuengling (sp) on tap. Negative reviews are about not liking smoking -- it's Indiana.

The Village Tavern in Porter: A Cherished Pub with Timeless Appeal The Village Tavern in Porter holds its place as the second of the three original pubs in the Chesterton/Porter area, a testament to its enduring charm and appeal. This classic establishment epitomizes the spirit of a traditional pub, offering a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels like a second home. One of the Tavern's standout features is its outdoor seating, perfect for enjoying those pleasant days and evenings. They serve up some great cocktails, and while they don't accept reservations, the laid-back vibe makes it worth the wait. The food at The Village Tavern has always been a highlight, with every dish embodying the essence of delicious, comforting pub fare. Their Italian Beef sandwiches, in particular, are something of a local legend. I grew up on these sandwiches, and they remain a nostalgic favorite, packed with flavor and always satisfying. Cleanliness is a notable aspect of The Village Tavern. Both the restaurant and the restrooms, albeit a bit snug, are well-maintained, ensuring a comfortable visit. For entertainment, they offer a pool table and darts, adding to the pub's classic feel. The staff here are not just friendly and efficient; they're part of what makes The Village Tavern so special. I've known the owner and his wife since I was a little boy, and their kindness, friendliness, and generosity have always been a cornerstone of this establishment's character. In summary, The Village Tavern in Porter is more than just a pub; it's a community landmark where memories are made and cherished. Whether you're there for the excellent food, the delightful cocktails, or the friendly atmosphere, this pub is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the heart of the Chesterton/Porter pub scene.

Smoke is obnoxious. Sat at the bar, ordered a nice fish dinner then someone sat down next to me and started smoking.

Very smoky as they allowed patrons to smoke inside. Fish tasted old and batter was not good. Prices were high for the quality.
Food was good service was good the drunks were screaming though, it was awkward and pretty sad

Went for fish ,got the perch and blue gill dinner platter. It was 21 dollars for the meal. It was very good. They have lunch portions that are cheaper but less fish. I personally like to eat more. ? I rated the waitresses low cause she was new , and didn't keep up on our drinks.(she will get better in time) But great place to eat. Always busy there. Good food and drinks.Parking: There is plenty of reasonable spots , you need to be going down the street a certain way to be able to park easily. (We'll I do anyway )don't get me wrong, access is available both ways down the street it's on . Check it out .
