Sheffield's Sportsbar Restaurant

I love this place. It is covered, the food is good, the customers are all chilled and the bartender was fantastic! I travel all year round across the country and try to meet local places. This is a holder.

I would call this a dive bar but it was the highlight to my stay in Merrillville. The drinks were a fair price the atmosphere was cool and it had smoking allowed in the bar so that brought me back to how bars used to be and it was just a cool experience. The waitress had to ID us all and we?re in our late 30?s so that was kinda weird but she got nicer as the night went on. The food was another high point for me. I don?t remember what the burger was called but they had a 1 lb burger option that would have been the biggest burger I can remember ever seeing offered at a bar but?.. they also offered it as a double! I finished the 1 lb burger but my friend couldn?t finish the 2lb one. I would go here again next time I?m in town.

A nice set up with a decent size dining area and also four pool tables (two in back part) to unwind. A good mix of locals with the occasional out of towner. Not a drinker but the appetizer that I ordered seemed pretty reasonably priced.

Not that it's a bad thing, but this is your basic bar. Good bar food. Drinks are cold and reasonably priced. Bartender was friendly and attentive. I will definately be going back to have a few drinks n try some more food.
