“Fun and enjoyable! Listened to him play in the past and tonight it was just so much fun for everyone. Enjoy!“

“Ask for Sarah, excellent service, drinks, and food!!“

“We had a great experience! We went during happy hour which we did not plan. I am glad we did because they have some of the best happy hour options we have found!

We were quickly seated outside on a beautiful day! Our friendly server also came over quickly to take our drink orders. The food was delicious!

The cheese sticks, which were a happy hour option, were good and a great price! The side house salad was a nice surprise! It was decent sized and even had half a hard boiled egg on it as well! Sides were also options on the happy hour menu!

My husband ordered the brisket Sammie. It smelled delicious! The meat was very tender, had a nice amount of BBQ sauce on it and he loved all of the toppings. I had the chicken caprese sandwich. I enjoyed the bun! It was very unique! I do wieh there was more mozzarella on the sandwich but otherwise, I would order it again. We both think they have delicious fries and ranch dressing!

Everything was great and We will be back! I wish they had more than one location, especially in Fishers!!“

“Visited Sun King Carmel on a Sunday early evening. First visit at the ‘food court’ so a bit wandering and chaotic. There should be a court monitor stationed at a desk 1st floor middle of seating area right outside fenced area entrance from food court to access Sun King mostly to screen / prevent minors from entering the restricted area but didn’t know you could sit at a table in the general seating food court area and a Sun King server would visit to take your order as I just walked up to the Sun King bar counter and ordered myself unwittingly. Problem would be is likely a bit of a wait if I hadn’t self-ordered as it took about 10-15 minutes after I was seated for a server to check on my status after I sat at a table. But, the tab runs and the bartender tracks/forwards your order to the server and they finally track you down ultimately to pay the bill before you depart.

In the meantime, can partake the food court vendors for specialty cuisines yourself. Order and pick up food yourself and take to your table. If you can find a clean table top, as even though the food court wasn’t bysy, the tables weren’t all clean.

So Sun King has a limited variety on tap. The Osiris Pale Ale is mild not bitter so good and drinkable. But the Orange Vanilla Cream Ale is flavored similar to children’s orange aspirin icky I would not order it again.

Counter bar tender accommodating and server polite and courteous. Did check on me frequently after finding me seated.

Anyways if your first visit might be confusing the order delivery seating process. But go get it yourself or sit at a table and wait a bit and hope a server tends to you in a reasonable amount of time.“

“Traveling from Michigan and came across Upland Brewing. Stopped in for a beer and a quick snack. The Juiced in Time Haze IPA and Two of Tarts sour were both amazing. The staff were great! And the food was tasty, we will definitely be back and highly recommend if you’re in the area.“

“We only stopped by for a beer. The service was excellent. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. The food looked good but we already ate. Ordered the Church Milk Stout and it was delicious and smooth. At over 6% one was enough. Tried the Jack Ringo. Very hot finish!“

“Great place to hang out with friends“

“BEST BEER IN NORTH AMERICA!“

“Had the great fortune of trying this Hazy IPA before meeting the owner Kelsey Grammer and watching him pull beer for a few hours. This beer is outstanding! it doesn't have that hoppy bite and has a refreshing citrus finish. Put simply? it's delicious. Looking forward to more amazing beers coming!!“

“Bret was the best server/bartender that we have had in a long time. So friendly and kind to us and are kids. The food and beer (& cider) were amazing as well. Can’t wait till we are back in town to come again! Thank you, Bret!!“

“Laid back atmosphere with a good variety of beers.“

“Great tap room on 46th and College south of broad ripple. Not as extensive of a list as the main Guggman location, but they have plenty on tap and to go.

Limited kitchen menu focusing on paninis, which were good, and appetizers.

They do have a little patio on the sidewalk as well. Employees are very nice!“

“Delicious Sunday brunch from Herd. Unusual but very tasty biscuits & gravy. Service was very helpful & friendly.“

“Heard good things about this place and they did not disappoint! Delicous beer and the bartender added 3 bonus tasters onto my flight. What a champ!Unfortunately there was a sign that said No Overnight Parking which really upsets me that they encourage drunk driving. The sign should say "If you've had too much to drink, please leave your vehicle here and take an Uber home."This is the first bar/brewery I've ever seen with a No Overnight Parking sign and I really hope it's my last.“

“Great place to relax and have a couple drinks with friends. Slushies are a must and highly recommend. Will be back soon.“

“We held our October 2022 wedding ceremony and reception at Liter House and loved the experience! Drew and the whole event staff were helpful, kind, and easy to work with. We loved our brunch reception with delicious breakfast food and classic Sahm’s coffee cake. The event space is warm, inviting, and the right size to host lots of different types of weddings or gatherings. Also, the location is perfect - the Monon trail is a gorgeous place for pictures and features a lot of cool artwork/murals. I definitely recommend checking out Liter House for your event!“

“Excellent food and the employees are all amazing. We are always greeted with warm welcomes. Give King Jugg a try, you won’t be disappointed.“

““Fishing for Hopliments” was delicious.

Ordered a to-go order of boneless wings. Bartender even looked in the bag to double check the order. Got back to the hotel and they were bone-in wings. Very disappointed.“

“If you haven’t been to GJ, what are you waiting for?!? We celebrated my husband’s 30th bday here and Amy took care of us all night. All of our friends and family commented how amazing she was! S/O Sharon and Wade (bartenders) and Matt (GM) for helping the party be a success! Beer is always good, but it’s the people at GJ that make us come back again and again. Thank you!“

“the two beers i had were the kind of ipas i like. refreshing and hoppy, but not overpowering.
extra innings and reunion.
i would have tried more, but it’s a long drive home.

fries were tasty.

i will return next time i’m passing by to try more.“

“Been staying at the iron works hotel a lot due to having to be in Indy a lot lately. This place is basically attached to the hotel. We have had the pizza, burgers, black bean burger and beers. I did see a review their their soda is not the best and i will agree with that we couldn’t even drink it so not sure what’s up with that but we have been back so much because everything else is great. We will be back again at the end of the month and plan on going back. They were out of 4 packs of beer the last time to go and i was wondering why they couldn’t just sell 4 cans separately but hopefully they have them back in stock.“

“Such an awesome venue. Everyone was very nice and accommodating. I dont think the sound quality couldve been better, decent prices on beer, food was good, vibes were even better, and on top of all that I got to see a band that I love for 25 bucks. Now days you really cant beat that. I will definitely be returning and recommending this place to all my people.“

“Came for an evening on the patio to enjoy the beautiful weather and some Hoosier game day lager. Our server, Nicole, was fantastic and very friendly. The food was great and really hit the spot. The beer was great as always.

Highly recommend stopping by!“

“We tried @halfliter_bbq in #Indianapolis, and this is what we rated them. A couple of things first. It was their Octoberfest, so they were very busy. Even with that, the food was out in 6 minutes! Brisket 8.5. Bark was very good, and the meat fell apart. Pork 7.8. Smoked well, was just dry Chicken Breast 8.8 Best thing we tried here for sure. Smoked wings 6.5. Very good flavor, but it was super dry Turkey. 7.9. Thick and smoked well, just a little to dry for us Sausage 8.0. Good flavor with a little heat Also, the pickled onions were outstanding. If you are in Indy, I would definitely check it out. Check out more reviews on Insta at JoeAndJrkFoodReviews“

“I was in tonite and ordered to go; the Spicy Garlic Wings, the Hoss Dip, the Nashville Chicken Biscuits, and the Tommy Pizza. All of it, hands down PHENOMENAL!!! So good! The Pirate Cat Brown is a delicious beer for you to drink while waiting for your food! Will probably go back tomorrow nite! Im from out of town and this is close to Ironworks where I’m staying!“

“Stopped here on our way to see the speedway. Pizza was delicious, beer was great, service was top tier“

“We have been going to Blind Owl since they have opened love what they have done outside, However we did not realize they were having music when we asked to sit outside, OMG it was so loud you can not even carry on a conversation, I wish it was more of a back ground music, we met our friends we had not seen in 4 yrs there and we finally had to leave because it was difficult to talk.“
