50 Best Bar & Grill in Indianapolis

“We had lunch here today. Bobbie had a Cheeseburger and Tots, I had a Double Cheeseburger and Fries. Everything was hot and very tasty. We highly recommend you visit.“

“Consistent good food and better service 🍀“

“Great atmosphere and very nice staff. Shelby St feels very welcoming when you come in. Definitely a hidden gem on the Southside.“

“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!“

“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!!!“

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

“nice place to have a good time at“

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

“Overall a great dive bar! My friends and I go to trivia and karaoke on Mondays which is always a blast. Great vibes, and the Grateful Dead theme everywhere is really neat! Pool and darts are fun too.

That said, the place looks sketchy and dead on the outside, but give it a shot!“

“pool, darts, cheap beer, good food, lots of tvs“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Greeted friendly and warmly music wasn't cranked too much could still hear myself think bartender was great took my order fast food came out prompt best burger I've had in ages mushroom swiss heavy Mayo heavy pickle medium rare fantastic loved every bite freeze came out hot crispy ready to go but not overly cooked wash it down with a strawberry blonde that was light and fruity would definitely go back again also has an area that separates kids from the main bar area so adults can be adults and families can be families“

“great food drinks and atmosphere“

“Great food and atmosphere“

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

“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“

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

“Jessie and Meagan are great“

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 One of my favorite places while in Indy! Great service, cold beer, plenty of random shot options and the very BEST stuffed breadsticks ever‼️

FYI: KILROY'S FAMOUS STUFFED BREADSTICKS 🥖 🧀 🥫 🤤 hand rolled from homemade pizza dough, stuffed with Mozzarella cheese and pepperoni. Served with marinara and cheese sauce.“

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

“Always a blast. New favorite hangout.“

“Looking for a Pork Tenderloin Sandwich in Indy, because that is a 'thing' to do? The Boathouse Grill has a Pork Tenderloin Sandwich so big you will have to eat it with two hands. This is even after one had trimmed down the tender breaded patty. Top it off with a side of tots and you will definitely be full.“

“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!“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“great music and good food...🥰🥰🥰“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“The scotch eggs were delicious!“

“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!“

“Love it! Best staff ever ⭐️“

“It was our first time going to Rise Rooftop. The server and staff were very kind and provided great service. We loved the DJ and her choice of music. The food and drinks were very good as well. We can't wait to come back on a future trip.“

“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.“

“Nice atmosphere Taylor took good care of us“

“Great crowd! Great bar! Highly recommended“

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

“I finally made it to Kilroy's. It was good. My Salmon BLT was delicious (I had it without the bacon) and the broccolini was tasty. My friend had the stuffed breadsticks and southwest eggrolls. Kilroy's is a bar feel. During the time of day we went it wasn't busy but we did have to pay for parking.“

“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“

“kori is the best server ever!!! please request her!!!! 💣. com“

“Definitely 21 & over. They card you at the door upon entry. Basically you order at the bar, tell them where you will be sitting, & they bring it to you. Tons of TV with lots of sports plus horse racing. Let's talk about the menu it's not large, but definitely has something for everyone. Indiana known for Pork Tenderloin Sandwich was a great size & enjoyed the seasoned fries. At the bartender's suggestion I tried the Pork Tenderloin with mashed potatoes, cream gravy, & onion strings. Fantastic! Full bar & enjoyed a really tasty margarita. Would definitely go back.“
