Reviews & Tips

  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.

  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.

  On a cold winter night, a birthday needed celebration. Four friends gathered at The Green Frog, only to see a the parking along the front filled. The four friends shiver-jaunted down one half a block, wondering whether the Green Frog would indeed guide them to a happier place.
  
  The Green Frog was dark, scene-y and intimate. We were four of twelve patrons scattered around the dimly lit bar, with a few more cosing up in the wooden booths along the old wooden wall.  We warmed up in an alcove by the entrance, and then the night began.
  
  For the next four and a half hours patrons came and went, but we stayed. From "Dark and Stormy's" to "Beez Neez" to strawberry and bourbon concoctions to anything with tequila to anything with gin to Trappist beers, the liquor went down as the conversation did - smooth and effortless.
  
  Among a myriad of subjects, we talked about a weird acquaintance we suspect could be god, Pan's labyrinth, business school mania, sharks, and the realistic chance that there could be a fight club operating in a Calhoun street Chinatown basement. Time just flew by as if we were sitting in a living room on a lazy Sunday afternoon. That's when I knew that Green Frog was the beez neez.
  
  We ended up having a thirty minute conversation with the bartender/mixologist and the manager, both of whom are Fort Wayne natives. Should have known. No outsider can make you feel so much at home in the Fort.  Turns out, he owns his own home, almost paid off(not a here today gone tomorrow) type. He just told us to text him for a reservation and sign off as "Them from The Green Frog.".
  
  The Green Frog is the perfect place for spending quality time with quality friends over some quality cocktails on a quality gal's birthday.
