The Fluttering Duck

The Fluttering Duck has served up food and entertainment on the edge of the DePauw campus since the 1970’s. The current Duck strives to stay true to the original spirit of the Fluttering Duck and to honor that history of good food, good conversation and good entertainment! Now, as then, the Duck plays host to impromptu classes where professors and students discuss the issues of the day over a beverage and a meal. Now, as then, local and student musicians take the stage at the Duck to the wholehearted welcome of their peers. Now, as then, the Duck plays host to a variety of fundraisers for student-led charities.

The Fluttering Duck Bar & Grill features casual dining 7 days a week in an eclectic atmosphere. The Duck offers outdoor patio dining during spring, summer, and fall, sports on the big-screen, and great late-night fun with photo jukebox and scheduled live entertainment. Jazz at the Duck on Thursday nights is always popular.

The atmosphere of the Fluttering Duck is casual, but food at the Duck is serious business! Appetizers are plentiful and designed to share. Made-fresh pizza & pasta dishes and grilled-to-order steaks highlight the entrée options, while signature burgers, wraps and Panini sandwiches --with a multitude of specialty side dish choices–complete the dinner menu. And no meal at the Duck is complete without a warm brownie sundae for dessert!
