I want to give an honest in-depth review of dockside given no prior relationship with any of the staff upon first visit. I was bored on a Friday night and I wanted something to do that was relatively close to my apartment. This place along with a couple others popped up on my radar. I wanted to get good drinks at a fair price but also experience an environment that would lead me to return countless times. I took the Gamble and I went to dockside. Things to note for first timers is that there is a COVER charge of 5 dollars. Whether this is cash only or not is up for debate. I brought cash just to be safe. The place its self isnt that big on the inside but its big enough for 70 plus people. The bartender who happened to be the owner that night was amazing. Besides being friendly and having a solid knowledge of all drinks he could make. He also was great at giving you the customer a great selection that would suit your taste palette. The music was relatively new and the DJ actually did an amazing job at keeping the pacing up tempo. My first experience was absolutely phenomenal. So much so that I wanted to go back the very next day to make sure it wasnt a new person special. To my amazement yet again they provided an amazing experience. Although I left early to go get food. I was very nicely invited back and that made me feel special. This place is a gem. I dont know the duration of which its been established but, this is the type of place anyone in the area that wants to get out for a good time should go-to. You will have fun and although the security guard can seem a little on the off putting side. He too was amazing. Lets talk pricing. So I ordered my first night what seemed to be a total of 10 drinks. This ran me 43 ish dollars. These drinks were strong and they tasted excellent. I made sure to leave a tip because watered down drinks to leech more money from the customers is becoming a normal. Its sad its only open twice a week but it is a club so its respectable. While Im in Indiana this place will be a hotspot for weekend fun for me. I came from l.a. and this was the closest thing to an l.a. experience Ive had in a long time. It deserves a five star. Not for the decourm but for the experience you have when going there. I will be going back and taking more photos of the establishment to put the minds of new comers at ease. Im sure when business picks up parking will become an issue but, for now this is a true gem to the Mishawaka community and must be experienced at least once.

Pretty cool late night bar. Mainly for the college kids though, since its right by IUSB and Notre Dame. It gets crazy on football nights. The have awesome shot deals too, and a spacious dance floor.
