Danny Boy Draft Works, located just off Notre Dame Campus in South Bend, stands as a remarkable testament to the craft of brewing, offering patrons a delightful exploration of flavors and styles. Their own brewed beer is nothing short of phenomenal, showcasing a mastery over the art that is immediately apparent from the first sip. The selection is broad, catering to a wide range of palates, ensuring that every visitor finds something to love.Not to be overshadowed, their mixed drinks and bourbon selection are equally impressive, providing options for those who might prefer something other than beer. The inclusion of a handful of guest taps is a thoughtful touch, extending the variety and allowing guests to sample beers from other brewers, thereby embracing the community spirit of craft brewing.But Danny Boy Draft Works isn't just about the drinks; their food menu complements the beverages perfectly. The pizza is amazing, with just the right balance of ingredients on a perfectly cooked crust. The wings, sandwiches, and salads are equally commendable, each dish prepared with care and delivering flavors that elevate the dining experience.Whether you're a Notre Dame student, a local, or just passing through South Bend, Danny Boy Draft Works offers an inviting atmosphere where one can enjoy expertly crafted beverages and delightful dishes. It's a place where the quality of the beer is matched by the excellence of the food, making every visit a memorable one.

Pizza is delicious and alcohol selection was very good. Only recommendation is less spinach on the veggie pizza. It was really good but just mounded with spinach. Banana pepper pizza was the crowd favorite.

A great spot for a casual evening right by campus with great events such as trivia Tuesdays to get warmed up for Backer Trivia on Wednesday or Karaoke on Thursdays. Phenomenal spicy margaritas and always a great spot on gameday weekends.

Stumbled upon this place while walking the campus prior to the football game. Wonderful joint. Great beers. I heartily recommend the Church milk stout. Food looked good. Friendly staff . I could have stayed there the balance of the day.

When running out of items, it would probably make sense to come and speak to the paying customer about options to swap in versus just changing the order or composition of the dish on the fly and bringing it out to them.
Came here while visiting from our of town. Used google maps and it's hard to find as it's nestled in between the college apartments. It does have a Lu garage parking area and the building is fairly new. Nice patio located on the side with plenty of tables. Inside was clean. You order at the bar and then go find you a table to sit at. They do have a C small menu to order from and it's per typical bar food. I'm assuming most of its frozen An bed cooked in oven, microwave it fryer. I ordered one of their pizzas the margarite pizza. It's 10" thin crust and it's def frozen and they add whatever toppings you want or pizza you order and bake it. It wasn't good. Lacked flavor, spice and fresh ingredients. K tomatoes came from a jar and the basil was freeze dried. The cheese was mozzerella shredded. The only thing good was it was served nice and hot. I didn't finish it cause it was horrible. W I I food order I B went out to my car and saw the cook in the parking lot smoking a joint. It reeked of pot. Soo I figured my god wouldn't be fantastic. I wouldn't order food from them again. However, I ordered their Mexicali beer and it was delish. A light beer with a malty aftertone. Sort of reminded me of drinking a Mickeys when I was young.Overall great place to hang with friends for the beer. Wouldn't order food ever again. Support local to.

Love this place. Awesome beer, amazing food and really great staff. They always have a good selection of beer on tap, especially if you're an ipa drinker. Food selection is great too, yummy pizzas, awesome sandwiches and the wings are to die for. I'd go as far as to say some of the best wings in the South Bend area. Everything air fried as well. Indiana girl is a great double ipa and the kp hitman pizza is the bomb. Bartenders are great to talk with and always give you a reason to want to come back. They're also just across the street from Notre Dame, makes it a great little stop right before an event happening on campus. The manager is also the nicest guy and is almost always there to provide great hospitality.

Whoever reviewed this place saying there weren't a lot of college kids obviously hasn't been here lately. Hoped to have a few beers and get some food tonight but the place was mobbed with students for trivia so I had to go elsewhere.

I have been here only 2 time so far. I had a great time both visits. The service is great and the atmosphere is loud, but not too loud to talk and have a great time!!! Plus, the Buhhda vodka is great.

Stopped in from out of town and was very impressed. I would put the quality of their wings up against anyone. Definitely in the top two or three best wings I've ever eaten. The staff and owner was amazing as well.
