To join in the fun you must be 21! Club Soda is the kind of joint Frank, Dean and Sammy would truly love. Lucky for you, they're dead and you can have their table.
Sizzling steaks and commodious cocktails are the watchwords at Club Soda, voted Fort Wayne's best martini bar, steakhouse and jazz club.
A casual atmosphere in our first-floor bar gives way to white tablecloths and all the accoutrement of fine dining on the second. And our selection of prime steaks, sumptuous seafood and exquisite wines puts our money where your mouth is.
After dinner, it's back to the bar to take in the best live jazz that northeastern Indiana has to offer.
At Club Soda, it's all about red meat, cold gin and cool jazz. Which is why we like to say, "There's nothing good for you here. And that's just how it oughtta be."
Club Soda. Steaks. Cocktails. Ring-a-ding-ding.
"Great food, amazing drinks and a very classy/cool atmosphere make Club Soda one of my favorites here in town. Service is always exceptional and the live music adds a great element to an already vibrant feel on weekend nights. Food and drinks can get pricey, but it's great to treat yourself every now and then. What better place to do that than Club Soda? Reservations were a breeze through Open table and I even had a hostess call to confirm exactly where me and my guest wanted to sit.
Can't wait to go back!!!"

"My husband and I visit Club Soda on a regular basis. Due to Mother's Day weekend, however, the restaurant was very crowded and consequently the service was not as attentive as it should have been. My rating is slightly lower due to this fact."

"We had a group of about 14 people and the restaurant was very nice and accommodating when we initially thought we had 20 and made a change last minute. Our food however, was sub par. It look a long time before it arrived and when it did it was edible but nothing close to the cost of the meal. My steak had a lot of fat. Another diner's steak was overcooked, in fact burnt when her request was medium. In a group of 14 only about 4 of the individuals said their food was "good." The drinks were great. I would recommend it for just getting drinks, but not the food."

"We were seated a little prior to our reservation, in the bar at a high table. The bar was crowded and noisy and that went up significantly once the jazz band started. It was difficult to talk before the band started and impossible after they started, at which time we left."

"Food was delicious, waiter was friendly and helpful, loved the menu and the ambiance. Really wanted the prime rib but there was no smaller option than 18oz....was a little disappointed in the salad. At a high end restaurant salad ought not to be shredded...or brown."

"This was our second visit to Club Soda and both times they did not prepare the steak as ordered. I'm fine with paying high $ for good food but this food did not live up to expetations. Also, the soup was very salty. The Gas House next door will offer great food at a lower $."

"Usually I would rate Club Soda a 5, but I had the featured catch of the day and it fell a little short. Little over cooked and lacked expected flavor. . Everyone else at our table was very happy with their selection, however."

"My wife and are relocating to another city and chose Club Soda as the place we wanted to have our last dinner in Fort Wayne. We have lived in Fort Wayne for 15 years and have had many opportunities to dine out. Club Soda is our favorite for late night or dinner hour dining. The renovation and preservation of the building attracted us to the restaurant years ago. We have never had a bad experience in service or with the food meeting our expectations. We won't miss Fort Wayne, but we will miss Club Soda."

"My fiancé and I recently visited for our anniversary, and I'll tell you, it could not have been a better experience. The food was exactly how we wanted it, her drink was perfectly mixed that even my nose could not pick out specific liquors used. My favorite steak in town, I always get the 6oz filet. I recommend anyone over 21 to enjoy their time in Fort Wayne with the higher end finer dining life during special occasions at the very least. $30 a plate is a great deal for such outstanding service. As well, we were very lucky to have the Todd Harold Band the night of our visit."

"If you're looking for entertainment this isn't the focus for Club Soda. Please don't misunderstand me; the service was excellent as was the food. I've been looking for an entertainment venue for years in Central Indiana. It's just sad that so few venues understand that it has value."

We had the brie for an appetizer and it was sensational with the cranberry walnut toast. The beet salad was perfect and the filet special for the evening was the best steak I have had in many years. This is truly a gem for any foodie to visit. The staff was attentive and guided us through the evening to get us to the Embassy for a show.
It was worth every bite!"

"We were disappointed with our experience at Club Soda on Sat Feb 16. We were hoping to be seated in the bar area but instead were seated in the MCL Cafetria room on the west side. It seemed cold, noisy, and very public. The servers were constantly re-arranging the tables and chairs to accoomdate the blue jean/gym shoed young folks that must've just gotten off the trolley. We felt like we were in a fish bowl and really couldn't relax. The food was good, server knowledgeable, and attentive, but quite frankly we wish we would have went somewhere else. I believe it's more intimate at Applebees or Logans for 1/2 the price."

"This was our first time here. I had the NY strip steak. Since I've eaten at Chops in Fort Wayne, I had something to compare it to. I have to say Chops is still the best. The steak needed more flavor and it was a little too fatty for me. We also had breast of chicken stuff with a light sauce. The chicken was dry. We had Brie with some toast for an appetizer which was great. It was for valentine's and they had a rose on the table which was a nice touch. Our waitress was great. We didn't have to wait for anything. It would have been nice to hear some music for Valentines.
All in all, it was good. I would go back and perhaps try some other foods they had."

"I'd rate Club Soda in the top ten restaurants in City. BTW if a restaurant does not take reservations it is not on the top ten list.... There are a lot of reasons to choose Club Soda ...are you looking for gourmet, for wine, for cocktails, for music, for energy, for groups, less noisey, outdoor dining? Club Soda has all of this, they even have quieter seating areas when they have live music. If you want the finest meal there are a few in town that are better but you will pay more for it too. If you seek fine wine Club Soda can satisfy most wine snobs (you know who you are) on an ordinary day but the list is not much of an adventure. We like and recommend Club Soda. Cheers!"

"I want to thank the whole staff for making the night perfect for my assisted living. The ladies loved It and want to know when I am bringing them back. Our waiter, azariah , made the evening great with his patience and knowledge of the menu. And to quote one lady " his charm " made him a great server. :)
Thanks again for the accommodations. I am sure Peabody retirement community will be back for cocktails and dinner.
Sincerely , Michael Dunne , Director of residential health services"

"Food was great. Glad Gouda Dip is back! Service was attentive and helpful. A large party close to our table made conversation difficult and being close to windows on such a cold night was a bit uncomfortable but still a great place though we prefer the older section of the restaurant."

"My husband and I went there for dinner for his birthday. We had been there before but had not been recently. Everything we ordered was delicious - we both ordered 6 oz. filets - both were cooked to perfection as ordered. Our service was excellent. So there is actually nothing to complain about. Although it was not "knock your socks off" we need to go back there type of restaurant and now remember why we had not been back for so long. I would like to visit during the summer in the outside dining area and will post another review perhaps then."

"I really enjoyed the place! This was like my second time to visit this place! I lived in Fort Wayne for about five years and never went to this place in that time. I recently went back to visit some friends and we went there and I was totally amazed in the food and in the service and the friendly staff people. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy their food and enjoy their time with friends!"

"We were lucky to get a last minute reservation through Open Table. We were seated at a cozy table in the bar, our server was prompt and knew her stuff - described the features fully. The food was delicious (I find Club Soda to be hit or miss, this visit was a hit.) and the service was on par with what you would expect from this restaurant. There was one table of very loud, to the point of obnoxiousness, patrons. Again, we were seated in the bar... they were a spectacle though. If you want a quiet romantic dinner, I'd suggest asking to be seated upstairs."

"Having eaten at Club Soda 1 week ago we entered expecting another great meal. The problems began with the salad. I was given a Caesar Salad even though I had ordered the Club Salad (their house salad). I didn't say anything, it was no big deal. My husband's club salad looked NOTHING like the club salad I had exactly one week ago (huh?). I was given the wrong entree not once, but TWICE. The other 2 people at my table were nearly finished with their meal when the right dish appeared. Except-I like my filet medium well-almost well. It was medium, not close to well, so I had to send it back. We were only offered a free dessert for the mistakes. I can't imagine I'll go back anytime soon. I don't think I've ever had such a bad dining experience."

"My wife and I dont get to go out very often and when we do we normally are not able to spend much on dinning out. Well I wanted to take her out to a romantic dinner and found you on the internet. So I made reservations. Our table was in the bar area and it was very loud. This setting is not a normal setting for us. It would have been good to be able to pick a diffrent area. The biggest mistake I made was in ordering. Our witress did a great job but failed to tell me the cost of the spicial....and me duh...thinking spicial..thinking spicial price ordered it with out asking the cost. Well it was very good until I got the bill...lol I was shocked that it was $45. These things were my fault Im just not used to the fine dinning experience."
