50 Best Bar & Grill in Indianapolis

“BEST burgers in Indy, even better people working there! I’ve never had a bad experience or bad food. Always consistent. Always welcoming. Always delicious. 100 plus years making the best smash burgers!“

“Consistent good food and better service 🍀“

“Come see the awesome staff! Cody’s drinks are out of this world!“

“Ordered the Ale Supremo pizza and ended up having to wait about an hour until we got it. No biggie. It happens. The manager (Diane) threw in a large order of wings, refunded our money, AND gave us a $20 gift card. Now THAT'S customer service! The food was absolutely delicious, too. Needless to say, we're Ale Emporium customers for life. Thank you!“

“A great neighborhood bar with friendly staff and wonderful menu items. It’s just the right atmosphere to chill out and have some great food and drink. Also, very impressed with the cleanliness of the bar.“

“Its refreshing to come to Barringers Tavern. The service from Marcus is what I appreciate most. He is always welcoming, funny and considerate. That is the main reason I visit Barringers with my friends regularly.“

“Highly recommend this place!!! We had the wings and the brisket waffle fries! Both were outstanding!!! Our waitress was AMAZING as well!!!“

“Our first time eating here. Sat outside with the pups. Service was AMAZING! The burger was one of the best I’ve had in a long time! And the sweet potato fries were to die for! Highly recommend!“

“First time visit. Can’t wait to go back! A real gem in the area like a Time Machine. Don’t forget your cash!“

“Awesome place and the staff goes out of their way. Food was amazing ❤️ Would recommend this place! First time and won’t be our last.“

“nice place to have a good time at“

“The Mousetrap is that great “Cheers-type” neighborhood bar where everyone really does know your name. The crowd is friendly, the atmosphere is laid-back, and it’s the perfect place to unwind after work or catch up with friends. I’ve heard the food is really good too. Definitely planning to try it next time!“

“BR Tavern is the best place to go to for sports fanatics!!!!! Every TV has a sports game playing and BRT definitely ranks as one Of Broad Ripples Best Sports Bars!!!!!“

“Server Odyssey was "Off The Chain" professional!“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“great food drinks and atmosphere“

“My biscuits and gravy were served with spoiled gravy. It took me a couple minutes to realize the cheese aftertaste was spoiled milk. I've have had diarrhea all day....I will never come back. Clearly unsafe food handling and cooks who do not taste what they are serving.... in 45 years I have never had bad biscuits and gravy until today.“

“😁Love This Place Great People makes you at home“

“Took my God Son ~ Prince Johnson, to play some Back 9, and we played some golf while all of the Indy courses are covered in snow. Let’s Go!“

“Always a blast. New favorite hangout.“

“Kilroy’s Famous Stuffed Breadsticks absolutely lived up to the hype! I ordered the pepperoni and mozzarella stuffed breadsticks, and they were incredible four huge, golden brown breadsticks rolled from fresh pizza dough and filled with gooey, melted cheese and savory pepperoni. The marinara and cheese sauces on the side were the perfect finishing touch. Every bite was warm, flavorful, and comforting. A friend recommended Kilroy’s, and I’m so glad they did! I also had a delicious Caesar salad that was crisp and refreshing, plus a Crystal Blue Long Island that paired perfectly with the meal. The atmosphere was lively, the staff was friendly, and the service was fast. Everything came out hot and fresh. Kilroy’s has definitely earned a spot on my favorites list five stars all the way!“

“Jessie and Meagan are great“

“Headed home from a work trip, we were searching nearby restaurants on Google maps and I found this place. It looked like a small local place, menu options were appealing. We stopped here, I ordered the turkey Reuben. Hands down the best Reuben I've ever had. Friendly wait staff, easy to read menu, great customer service. I will be making the 2+ hour drive in the future just to eat here again.“

“I was there on Monday for live music. The bartender Jessy is amazing. Jacqueline's fried chicken wings are amazing and so hot you can hardly touch them.? Everyone there was very friendly, laid-back, comfortable atmosphere.

Vegetarian options: A variety of vegetables“

“This restaurant has large portions, and many fusion options. All food is served with styrofoam or otherwise disposable containers though, and plastic utensils. The fusion options are very cool, and the service is friendly and prompt. There are NO beef options on the menu, which is fine, just some folks will want to know that, I assume? The hotel, that the restaurant/bar is located in, is in a magnificent setting. The 'plans' for the upgrades are very intriguing as well. A LOT of potential here! The view is quite surprising, a tucked away gem!“

“Whomever in that Kitchen Today 10-10, doing their thang, Catfish steak fried to perfection and the Clerk/Cashier is so professional and nice!!“

“This is a great restaurant and bar inside the Sheraton hotel.
When I went for dinner, they were not busy at all and I was seated right away at the bar. The staff immediately came over and took my order for drinks.
They have a good size menu with lots of options. I chose the cheese raviolis and they were really good. Extremely cheesy and the cream sauce was really flavorful as well. It was a good portion for the price.“

“I’ve never been to a brew house quite like this one! They are kind, accommodating, and super friendly!“

“Very informal, which made us feel right at home. Great breaded tenderloin and fries. The soft pretzel with beer cheese appetizer was wonderful. Good selection of beers on tap. Had my first Hopopotomus IPA, and really enjoyed it. Prices were generally on the lower side. We felt there was a lot of value for the money. There is a 3% fee added for use of a credit card but the amount is inconsequential.“

“Fun atmosphere. Music bingo, games, karaoke is fun!“

“Great place to eat, have a few drinks Thursdays bike nite live music great place to hang out and enjoy“

“This little spot was really legit! Went to a party to celebrate a 60th birthday and it was so much fun! Everyone was friendly, the food was awesome, there is a bar but I'm not a drinker so I can't speak on that but the Sprite was top shelf! The set up is very casual with plenty of seating so it's easy to get to know people, they also have a kitchen and restroom on site, I didn't go in to see them but my BIL said the restroom was very nice and clean. Cool place!“

“My Patty melt was sort of average, just OK. But, the taco loaded potato dippers were amazing. Service did not meet my expectations with experiences like dirty dishes being left while we played trivia and bar drinks running dry for a bit before the server returned. Overall, it's a pretty average restaurant and bar. I'm also not a fan of the weird layout in the parking lot.“

“Little charming pub in the middle of Indy. Place is what you can expect on a weekday afternoon, however, I bet this place must be great for watching the games. I wish I lived in the area and could make this my go to bar. Noticed there were a lot of locals there and the bartenders 100% were amazing with them and us. Didn’t get food but the beer was nice and cold. Highly recommend dropping by for a beer or 8 and def coming back during a game.“

“Love this bar one of a kind staff very attentive wanting everyone to have a good time Dayshift you have the beautiful Tiffany Night Shift you have the incredible Dave, Graham, Fred and the beautiful Alena, Jackie, Gabby, Mia, Stormy, Courtney One of the best bars on the planet“

“We were apartment hunting and decided to check this out for dinner.
Great ambience and a great place to hang out.
We got a pizza brussel sprouts and a wedge romaine salad.
The pizza was thin crust and had great flavor.
Brussel sprouts was an interesting pairing with cherries and mustard seed...it worked well, I think maybe slightly less of the mustard would have been nice.
The wedge salad is a classic and they did a great job with that.“

“Went here for a beef Manhattan with my son Gnorman (7, Male) for his birthday, however they did not actually have it on the menu and he cried (was dying for one). To remedy the situation I challenged some regulars to a dart match and have never been more embarrassed in front of my son in my life (this is a compliment to the dartists). Went back again with my girlfriend but stayed away from the darts so I didn’t get flexed on in front of her. Best dart bar in the city though. And I noticed they are city tournament champs, so props to their clientele.“

“I was nervous to try this place but I AM SO GLAD I DID! The atmosphere is AMAZING! The music is AMAZING! And the service was THE BEST PART! Heather made us feel so comfortable and she went above and beyond to make our first experience phenomenal! Thank you Heather for everything you did for us! WE HAD A GREAT TIME AND THIS IS A MUST TRY!“

“We had fun everyone was nice and friendly“

“great music and good food...🥰🥰🥰“

“Nice atmosphere Taylor took good care of us“

“I travel to Indy once or twice a year, and I make sure I stop at KSR for food and drinks. By far the best family-owned bar and restaurant I have visited in Indy. I highly recommend this place. Do not judge by appearance (which I believe makes it a better experience). The pizza, wings, and sandwiches are off the charts. Hell, the salads look amazing, and I am not a big salad fan. You can tell that if you know me“

“Best wings ever! This is the best location as well“

“The scotch eggs were delicious!“

“This is a great neighborhood bar. Try the fried chicken special, it’s a great deal and delicious. Love this bar!“

“The food here was amazing!! they gave us extra everything and the food is priced so well! the drinks are great and not overpowering at all, and the bartenders are very nice :) the atmosphere is great slow music but good music good vibes, great views overlooking the city, and comfy patio seating! we loved it!! two drinks and appetizers and meals for both my boyfriend and I, was about $100!“

“My favorite karaoke bar! Cozy feel, great people all around, and a friendly, welcoming singing community. Kind karaoke djs with a large list of karafun.com song options and great sound system all make it the best!“

“Great crowd! Great bar! Highly recommended“

“Great neighborhood bar. Enjoyed the breaded tenderloin and an ice cold beer. Met the new owners Dawn and Ryan two of the nicest people ever. Sara was excellent as always. Can not wait to come back for my favorite tenderloin in the state. Everything was awesome“

“I'll definitely be back, the young ladies were so super busy, but still talked to you as if you were the only customer there. The drinks were DEFINITELY Good. Pool tables were a lil dirty but hey, it's a bar! Bathrooms were clean as well. Might be my new place to chill! I'll definitely be back!“
