I like the atmosphere of this bar, and the bartenders are rather friendly, but the beer on tap tastes horrendous. They need to clean their lines more often and rotate their stock.Hopefully they do this soon because everything else about the bar is nice.

Duke’s is great, has $2 beers, what’s not to love ?

Don’t come here if you look like you’re from out of town. Stopped in tonight to grab a drink before the Pacers v Bucks game. I couldn’t even tell who the bartender was because no one was behind the bar for about 5min. Went to the bathroom and when I came out the blonde woman who was off to the side socializing decided to work again. She clearly could tell I was wanting to order earlier and then ignored me again to attend to other patrons on the other side of the bar. When she finally got to me after I had to chase her down, I asked for a Coors light-she said she was out. I asked for a Busch light-she was out. And finally I asked for a Miller light-she was out. What a pathetic excuse of a bar to straight up refuse to serve someone for no justified reason. Go literally anywhere else.

Personally coming from a larger city like Chicago, it's hard to find the nostalgia of a good dive bar with great service, good music, and phenomenal service at a low price. Duke's fits just that. I frequent for a light beer after a long lifting session down the street, and it's always a comfort zone. Our bartender, Hailey, is always looking to top us off, never leaving us unattended. She pours the perfect drink every time, and always provides top notch service. I'll always frequent Duke's, and no one can turn down $1 taps and $2 rails every day for HH!!!Parking: There is plenty of parking in front of venue, as well as some on water street just north of the venue.

I'd like just like to advise other girls going here to make sure you have a safe ride home with you, my friend & I bought a shot then left Duke's as it wasn't very busy on a Mon. Night & came back later to ask if we could wait inside for our Uber. People were still inside at the bar drinking so I'm not sure why they turned us away but because of this, we had to wait outside & were vulnerable to be harassed. Please consider this when/ if you go here.

It's weird vibe. Bartender was just playing dice all night to get shots. I didn't eat.

Very bad service , first time being here and the lady with the long red nails was so rude. She only talked to her regulars, didn't pay any attention to my group Of our friends. Then we asked her to turn the music up and she refused too. We will never be back here , maybe get better bartenders.

Went yesterday for the first and last time. Not a busy afternoon yet still waited more than 10 minutes for a drink and that was because the bartenders were more interested in talking than serving their customers. The bartender, white male with a black backwards cap legit smiled at me and went back to talking. I thought he was taking their order or something but he legit was having conversations and laughing with them while I waited (and was never asked what I wanted). I ended up having to go to the other side where I met the black woman with the red pony tail. Beyond friendly and took care of us immediately.If this is how the place is going to run, I could not recommend it to anyone.
