🚨WARNING LENGTHY POST!! 🚨

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for your incredible patience! We are thrilled to finally unveil what’s been happening at 526 S Main St in Elkhart. We have officially taken over the former State Theater downtown!

Allow us to introduce ourselves— we are Bobbie and Leila! We've been running a successful bar and grill called Trackside in Mishawaka for several years, and now we’re excited to expand our horizons by bringing you what the entire community has been craving. Yes, we’ve been listening to your requests, and we're honored to present to you TRACKSIDE'S GRAND STATION!

First up, we have LIVE MUSIC! That’s right! If you’re new to the place (previously known as the Five Star Dive Bar), you’ll find a stage, a real dance floor, and ample seating for everyone. With fantastic surround sound, you’ll have everything you need for an unforgettable live music experience!

Next, get ready for AMAZING FOOD! Our brother Nas will be whipping up all your favorite dishes, and yes, we did snag Jason’s recipe for those beloved mozzarella sticks that so many of you have been asking about— because they were our favorites too! Our menu will feature a delightful mix of Mexican and American cuisine. If there’s anything on our menu that doesn’t appeal to someone in your family, we’ll buy the whole table a round! Plus, we’ll be introducing larger dinner options, but you’ll have to come in to discover what’s in store! 🤫

Third, we are FAMILY-FRIENDLY! We want families to come and enjoy lunch or dinner together until a certain time on weekends. Kids will be welcome to experience everything TRACKSIDE’S GRAND STATION has to offer from Tuesday to Thursday and Sundays until we close. However, on Fridays and Saturdays, anyone under 21 will need to exit by 8 PM.

Additionally, did you know we have a FULL BASEMENT? Yes, there’s a fully functioning bar down there along with a small stage! In the near future, we’ll be hosting a variety of events, including comedy nights, drag performances, private parties, and much more!

We’ll also have food and drink specials, along with weekly entertainment like karaoke nights, music bingo, and trivia!

We understand that some folks may feel uneasy about driving downtown Elkhart due to law enforcement presence, but as long as you act responsibly, there’s nothing to worry about. If you ever feel you shouldn’t drive, please reach out to our staff, and we’ll help arrange a safe ride for you. Your safety and that of our patrons is a top priority for us!

And if you’re concerned about parking, we have you covered! Not only is there street parking, but there’s also a lot across the street, a lot behind the building (with easy access through the alley), and a parking garage—all free to the public! So, parking won’t be a problem!

We are excited to announce our GRAND OPENING on Saturday, June 13th. Doors will open at 11 AM. Join us for a fantastic lineup featuring Jason Curtis (former owner of the Five Star Dive Bar) as the opening act, followed by Mishawaka favorite Chad Roggeman, and closing with SIZE MATTERS! We can’t wait to meet all of you and show you the incredible changes we’ve made! Cheers! 🍻
