Green Frog Inn

20 years after my brief stint of life in Fort Wayne, on this random sunny Saturday afternoon, I suddenly thought about The Green Frog Inn. Lo, through the miracle of Yelp, I am happy to see that it is still a fun and vibrant local spot. Looking better than ever, too. Maybe we'll meet again one day.

There are better places in the area

Growing up on this side of town, the Green Frog Inn was a mythical place that the grown ups would go to after school events or just because. I felt like I was truly becoming a grown-up when I first came to the Green Frog.

Why the Green Frog? I don't know the exact origins of this name, but they do sell frog legs? Should you get them? Yes! They are wonderful and taste kind of like chicken but better. Plus, you win infinite bragging points to your friends that you ate frog legs and they did not.

The Frog is an intimate dive bar that serves wonderful food and has good beer on tap. While there is a full bar, I say just go straight for the burger and beer combo. There are a lot of regulars here but as it is Fort Wayne, they are generally friendly and cool bunch.
