Our mid-century building was built in 1941, and is filled with authentic vintage touches.
We commemorated 1941 in our entryway areas with retro penny tile to celebrate homecoming and finding a place in the community.
The bar, counters and tables are custom built by our team with reclaimed wood and architectural elements from historic businesses in Northwest Indiana and Chicago.
We preserved the original Miller Bakery blade sign on the exterior, along with its porthole doors, curved storefront window, and exposed brick.
THE BAR
At the center of Tiny's is our custom-built full-service bar, crafted from reclaimed wood salvaged from the historic Super Bowl Bowling Alley in Crown Point, Indiana. Upfitted with machine parts from Chicago factories and vintage printing presses, the bar is a conversation piece in itself. We offer craft cocktails, beers on tap, fine wine, espresso drinks, and more — with full bar service available for private events.
THE PATIO
Take the party outside on Tiny's spacious outdoor patio — the perfect setting for warm weather events, casual gatherings, and celebrations under the open sky. The patio extends your event space and creates a natural flow between indoor and outdoor areas, giving guests the freedom to move and mingle.
THE LOUNGE
Settle into our cozy vintage lounge, furnished with rich leather chairs and mid-century seating sourced from across the Midwest. Whether your guests are catching up over cocktails or relaxing between courses, the lounge creates an atmosphere that feels like nowhere else in Northwest Indiana.
GAMES & ENTERTAINMENT
Tiny's is built for a good time. Inside you'll find a classic pool table and a vintage Atari gaming setup that bring retro fun to any event. Outside, guests can enjoy lawn games including giant Jenga, darts, cornhole toss, and more — perfect for family events, team building, and casual celebrations where you want guests engaged and entertained all night long.
MEETING ROOMS
Tiny's offers two focus rooms - AKA telephone booths or “zoom rooms” - so you can get stuff done. (Available on a first come, first serve basis).
