“I love coming to HI-FI for any and every type of show. The room is spacious enough, yet still feels intimate. The bartenders are always really nice as well!

Side note: Loved that HI-FI participated in Tonic Ball (huge annual benefit show for Second Helpings and feeding our Indy community) this year and so many years past. Last night at Tonic Ball felt like a positive gathering of community! Maciann was fantastic covering Green Day for Tonic Ball.“

“I won't lie, I've never had a place allow my dog to be treated as much of a princess as what she is here. I originally set up an appointment and party to have my dog for her temp birthday to be done here. And oh my goodness, I've never seen so many of the regulars and the bar staff treat her like a little princess as she is. The drinks are fantastic. The beers are phenomenal, but also the staff is fantastic on working around dietary limitations like gluten intolerance. I have slowly become gluten intolerant, and the staff has been fantastic about making sure that their menus are safe. For those that have these allergies. What a fantastic crew, thank you for allowing me and my own to come in here and treating us like royalty! Thank you so much!“

“I stopped by this location of Upland to give their beers a try, so I can’t really speak to their food. That being said, the bar was comfortable and the staff seemed friendly. It wasn’t too busy when I was there, and they had a good selection of beers to choose from. The quality of the brews struck me as excellent, and they had quite a variety of styles. Each beer in my flight was good, and no single one stood out to me as my favorite. This location of Upland seems like a good hangout spot if you’re in the neighborhood.“

“Good food. Great service from the bartender. Can't complain. I had a Sun King “Wee Mac” Scottish ale and a salmon caesar salad. The beer was great. I did not have very high expectations for the food given that it's prepared in a separate kitchen and brought to the restaurant, but the salmon was very good and the lettuce was fresh and crisp. A little on the expensive side as you would expect, especially for the beer, but the salad was actually pretty sizeable with a decent cut of salmon. The bar and dining area both looked very clean. The position in the pre-security plaza is nice because you can look out the windows.“

“Normally I have no issues and the food is always amazing but today with my carry out order I feel differently. I had the district club and when I took a bite into it I was met with a piece of wood that stuck to the roof of my mouth. It appears the wooden spear was broken into the sandwich after taking a closer look. I would just be aware of this if your sandwich comes with one.“

Service was lackluster but the entire vibe of this venue made up for it. Our entrees came quickly and the presentation was insta worthy, the food reviews were varied in our group with the general consensus being this is again something that could be improved. Overall, we felt the value was excellent and would definitely return when back in Indy.“
