Great little Pub. My Semi broke down across the road from it. Ladies there invited me in and took great care of me. Best smash burger I have ever had. Would absolutely recommend this place to anyone. America still has great little gems like this.

Amazing ribets, goes great with the beer. Very comfy atmosphere with no sports on the television polluting the sound or anything. No annoying skinny waitresses smiling at you the whole time or any of that. Ample parking for the given maximum capacity. Absolutely loved it. 10/10 will go again.

Omg this is a gem in small town America. My friend and decided to do some early camping at Shades State Park. One day we hiked Turkey Run and drove past. We turned into town, Waveland, to see if there was anything else going on? Heck no. Sadly the cops have pretty much ran off every bar a in town, as well as in Crawfordsville for that matter. Sorry just needed to be said. These small town folk can’t even have a couple drinks without cops pouncing on them!!!! Ok off subject, we turned around and entered Waveland Pub that reminded me of eclectic places in Houston. Everything was incredible. The decor top notch, the Penny bar with history, and the choices of spirits was long! I highly recommend. Ride an electric bike haha because you’ll want to stay.

Great small-town pub, newly remodeled, clean. We were camping at the Shades (5 miles away) at the time of posting pizza was all they had to offer, but guess they are working on the kitchen. Live music on Saturday night and then a great bloody mary on Sunday. If your close by stop in.

We came here after I made a post on Facebook community post asking about places I could take my 87 year old mother for her birthday. The Waveland Pub offered their location and said “we will treat her like the VIP she is”. Let me tell you. They did all that and more. Twila and Hailey (sorry is names aren’t spelled right) were the staff. A table was all decked out for Momma. Like music (blues - Dicky James). Food was amazing. Drinks were cold. Never had to wait. Momma enjoyed herself to the nines. I could not ask for a better night. Momma is eligible for hospice were it not for dialysis, so I don’t know how many more times she can enjoy herself like this. Thank you Waveland Pub for making g her birthday, and our first night out in over a year absolutely spectacular.
