This bar is one of the better bars in Fort Wayne. I went on a Friday and it had live music which was very entertaining. The drinks were on point. And the atmosphere was very easy going no out of control youngsters getting overly drunk. Food is good too. I always have a great time at the latchstring!!

Awesome little hole in the wall, bar neighborhood, Lauren, Grill, Jeremiah, and and Hershey amazing bartenders always know what you want before you even want it in my life spent New Year’s Eve together and came here for the ball drop had our first kiss of the new year seen some old friends and had a drink. I don’t go out much, but when I do I love to go here, thanks Matt thanks Jeremiah for awesome night. They also have karaoke here quite a bit and it’s always fun to hear the good singers and funny to hear the not so good singers love this place.

This place is meant to be a gathering spot for everyone, yet they wouldn't allow my service dog in, despite the fact that he's saved more lives than many firefighters over the past 30 years. They made me leave with my dog, who has done more for safety and rescue than most dogs. My friends and I will never return to Latch String Bar again.

If you’re in the know, you know that Latch is one of the top karaoke venues in the area.
