It is with both a heavy heart and mixed emotions that we announce the closure of Tippecanoe Place Restaurant, effective immediately.
To our loyal guests, partners, and the South Bend community: Thank you! For decades, we at the Tippecanoe Place Restaurant and the Studebaker Brewing Company South Bend have been honored to be part of your celebrations, holidays, milestones, and memories! The moments shared here will always be cherished—especially by Tippecanoe Place Restaurant’s current owner, Kevin Jakel, whose dedication to honoring the spirit and legacy of this place has been unwavering and it is his heartfelt hope that the mansion and all it’s incredible history will find a new life in the years ahead.
The mansion’s owner, Studebaker Mansion LLC (Attn. Noah Davey), will continue to keep the community informed regarding future plans and potential uses for the property as next steps are thoughtfully considered.
The Studebaker Brewing Company taproom, located in New Carlisle, IN, will continue to operate six days a week, serving lunch and dinner.
Again, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for your support throughout the years and for allowing Tippecanoe Place to be part of the story of South Bend. It has truly been our privilege to serve you.
