If you are ever in the Notre Dame or surrounding areas, don’t miss out on this gem! We had never been but we will be back for sure! Owners Amy and Dawn made us feel like family as well as our initial bartender Dana. Wings, fries and all appetizers were the best flavor and so fresh. Met old time friend of owner and again Lisa made us feel like family. This my friends is how customer service should be and they cover every inch of customer service. Came back Saturday and so clean and inviting again! Great show with very friendly entertainers! Miss them already and wish Columbus Ohio bars were always like this engaging with their customers! Thanks again!!

We always have a wonderful experience at the R Bar. It's one of the few places in the michiana area where all kinds of people can come and have a good time and mingle with no drama. The drag shows are amazing. We are here tonight for the burlesque show. I do recommend crying hair too it is surprisingly good as well. Particularly the mushrooms and fried pickles. I see this little bar doing great things and will probably soon out grow their current space.

I love the r bar. I'm a little younger, but they have 13 drag shows for teens which is epic. I came here with my mom a couple weeks ago and yesterday. A couple weeks ago, they were having a drag show and we were like the only people there, but they still have us a show. It was great!!! Atmosphere is amazing, *chefs kiss* and the food is great! I don't know what they put on those fries, but they are to die for! Overall great place to go for dinner, it's not really a just a bar. Drag queens and kings are super nice and friendly

Food is awesome service is great. Locally owned and operated. Awesome atmosphere come down and have a drink and try the food.

Amy and Dawn were very attentive to our needs . Right on top of the drinks and food! Food is very good ! We will be back for sure. And the owner Louie comes by and checks on you all the time! We love Louie!

This place is absolutely amazing!!! The atmosphere is great! The people are so accepting! You will always feel more than welcome coming here as yourself! The drag shows are the best! So energetic! Amy the owner is such a sweetheart as well as the rest of the staff! Thank you for having such a beautiful accepting place to come and let loose!!!

The entertainment was amazing all around beautiful people! My favorite part of the night was being able to get to know the queens! Highly recommended!

The food is incredible!! Kristen is an awesome bartender and was a blast to socialize with. We went back a second time the following week. Amy the owner and mastermind behind the menu, puts her heart into making increadable dishes. An overall excellent experience.
