Mayor Sharon Tucker announced today that Mitchell’s Downtown and Flashbacks Downtown will be opening at Schaab Riverfront!

Mitchell’s Downtown will bring a scratch kitchen, upscale bar menu, family-friendly dining, an outdoor patio, and plenty of big screens for sports fans.

Flashbacks Downtown will revive the classic dance club vibe on the second floor—complete with a riverfront patio.

Both venues are planned to open in mid-to-late 2026, just as the new Riverfront Fort Wayne Phase IIB public space comes to life with hammock groves, cascading steps, and more.

With a 125-year legacy, this iconic industrial building is set to become the city's prime destination for downtown dining and entertainment.

Tied directly into Phase II (b) of Riverfront Development, Schaab Riverfront offers stunning water views and access to key pedestrian and street traffic.
