Zombie Club

This bar should be a fantastic place to stop if you are looking for a place to go on Crown Point's Square.  The drinks are reasonably priced and the interior is comfortable enough.  And the location is great.

So why the low rating?  I had a horrific experience with a staff member (who is apparently the owner as well).  Some friends and I had gathered to listen to a friend's band.  We sat down at a table and ordered a few drinks from the bar.  We were approached by the owner who asked if we wanted drinks.  We told her we were okay for the moment.  She approached us again and said we had to buy something or leave.  We explained that we had, in fact, been buying drinks and she essentially called us liars, stating she had been working all evening and did not see us buy anything.  I, attempting to be peacemaker, offered to buy myself a drink so we could stay and listen to the band.  She stated what I ordered was not enough and we would have to leave.  

If this has not demonstrated the absurdity of the situation enough, I would like to add that the place was not that busy.  So to recap, the owner (not a rogue employee, which I could forgive), kicked paying customers out of her not so busy bar because...  I do not really have any rational way to finish that sentence.  I am not a business major, but I am pretty sure paying customers help a bar.  So not only did I not order any more drinks that night, but my friends and I have not been back since.  And so I have to advise, avoid this establishment at all cost.

What's with the bad reviews??? This place is just fine...

Here's the skinny:
Service is A-OK
Food is decent
Drinks are cheap
It's Tacky-Tiki-Riffic

Here's the fat:
So I've been coming here on and off for a few years now... not often enough to be called a "regular" or anything but, often enough to get a good feel for the place.

I don't know why some of the previous reviews had complaints about the service here. I don't think I've ever had crappy service or anything here... a little slow service on occasion yes but, no-one working there has ever been rude or done anything that warrants the phrase "does not know how to treat her customers".
I waltzed in for the first time in about 8 months last night(Monday) just to check it out and see what's up... (Plus the Yelp 100 challenge list beckoned for an addition) The bartender working was pretty awesome, she makes a good Zombie(drink), is pretty quick on the refills and easy to strike up a convo with. A-OK in my book

Food... the food pretty A-OK here. Pizza has always been pretty good here. The Stuffed Mushrooms... I remember them being better here. The flavor and all that was still good but, last night they just seemed a bit too soggy. Didn't hate 'em or anything but, they weren't like before.

Drink prices are pretty reasonable and NOT watered down... where'd that notion come from? Maybe some folk just want a liquor loaded drink? Me... I prefer something that's made right and tastes good.
They *usually* make 'em pretty spot on here at Zombie. I'll admit, there have been a few doozies though... Martini's were pretty iffy a while back and haven't had one here since. That was a while ago though, maybe I'll give 'em another go sometime.

So... Tiki eh??? I do agree that this place is a little "Tacky" with the Tiki theme and all that but, you know what? It's pretty cool. Never seen a Tiki-Bar kinda place in NWI so props to them!
The wood bar is long, with maybe 15-20 seats and there's a few high top tables too! The tables probably seat 4 people tops and come complete with an umbrella! Yup... it's useless because it's inside but, it's all about that island vibe I guess.
Towards the back of the bar are some cozy couches and a gas fireplace. Furniture is arranged in a U around a table so it's a nice spot to chill out and relax if you've got a few people with you and don't want to be all spread out at the bar.

No... it's not the best bar ever but, it's definitely a cool place to check out.
They have a TouchTunes Jukebox - get the phone App it's awesome!
Yes, they allow smoking and it can get a bit smokey.
There are no Zombies here... yet.

SYOY

The food is bad, drinks are weak, and the owner does not know how to treat her customers. Don't waste your time here. Go to Amore's on the other side of the square for a much better experience.
