This week The Branded Hour goes to another bar that has a special place in my heart. A place that every time I am there… I can’t help but to be happy.

I have been out to South Bend three times, for three home Notre Dame Football games. 3-0 I might add… Every time I have been there I never miss O’Rourke’s, and usually more than once.

I drink there. I eat there. I laugh there. I sing there. I cheer cheer for Old Notre Dame there!!

The bar/restaurant sits right off the heart of the campus. Right on the corner of famous “Eddy Street” and across from the Hammes Notre Dame Bookstore. And, overlooking the beauty that is… Notre Dame Stadium.

They have two huge bars, with a ton of seating. A bunch of high top tables and even more low top tables. And a nice outside area with great views. So, no matter what you want to do, eat or drink you are set. It is my favorite spot to hit right after the Friday Pep Rally!

They even have a “Dome Bar” so after you hear the “Trumpets Under The Dome” you can “Drink Under The Dome”
