That being said... every now and then, I think we all have a craving for the finer things in life. There are moments when we want to indulge, but not be indulgent - treat or even pamper ourselves without extravagance. For those evenings, I suggest Club LaSalle. (cue subtle jazz music, sound effects of soft laughter/conversation, aaand dim the lights)
Two floors above its dinning counterpart, LaSalle Grille, yet on the same level of quality, Club LaSalle is South Bend chic in all of the right ways. If you can describe Fiddler's with a Guinness or Club 23 with a PBR, then perhaps a martini or even an old fashion would best characterize the atmosphere. The low lighting, exposed brick, and upscale cocktails combine to make it classy, yet far short of stuffy.
Open at 5 pm and live music starting around 9:30 pm, Club LaSalle is great for that pre-dinner aperitif or post-dinner digestif, but not necessarily for a full night out because the music and service end before midnight.
Location: 115 West Colfax Ave, SB - 3rd floor
Hours: 5 pm to 12 am Monday - Saturday, closed Sunday

Tip #1: Club LaSalle can be hard to find on your first visit. Walk down that little alley way in between LaSalle Grille and The Vine, and go in the back door of the LaSalle Grille. Take the staircase on your left up 2 flights of stairs, and enter through the glass door.
Tip #2: check out the website for a schedule of their live musical acts almost every day of the week
My drink of choice at Club LaSalle: Manhattan
It IS hard to find, but well worth it! Great place.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite things I've done there was a beer-tasting dinner. Great food from LaSalle Grill and excellent beers paired with the various courses.
