26 Best Beer Bars in Indianapolis

“The dark chocolate brownies they have alone are worth stopping by.“

“Kaitlyn is amazing server. She’s so personable and she made me feel right at home. We shared hair tips and crafting works-in-progress…all while she staffed the bar by herself. (Also, my old fashioned was perfect) Y’all should give her a raise.“

“First show at The Annex... The sound was dialed in perfectly. That is my kind of Venue. Can't wait for the new digs to open for shows. Always enjoy my time at the Hifi, inside or out. Great joint. Another show coming up next month. I cannot wait.“

“We had a great time hanging out at Wiseguy! Shout out to Warren, our bartender, who made the experience way more fun. Not only were his cocktails top notch, but he was very personable and an overall cool guy! We would have stayed longer but it was TOO WARM in the space - felt like the AC could not keep up.“

“Best bar and restaurant in central Indiana! If you haven’t been there in all the years it’s been open it’s time to go in and enjoy. Great place and great employees!!“

“OMG We had the best experience since covid Our bartender Tyrone was amazing fun and fast smiling made our night Thank you Tyrone for making our night great !!!!“

“Cute little spot on the canal we were feeding geese and walking and stumbled upon the place. Atmosphere was inviting. I tried the tuna sandwich on baguette which was delicious. My husband had the turkey sandwich which was a great portion. Service was good the gentleman answered all questions and brought our food to the table. On the next visit going to try a flatbread pizza. 🍕 everyone should try this place 👍🎊“

“Great vibe with outdoor seating and a dark, artsy interior with a large mural and imperfect stars and multicolor xmas lights hanging from the ceiling. Food and drink are just ok but nothing to write about. Food you can order via QR code at the tables.

We were there for trivia (every Wednesdays night at 7:30pm).

🐕 Place is dog friendly so people will bring their dogs.

Bathrooms are two, single occupancy genderless stalls.“

“all food has been good.!!!“

“We stopped by this bar as reciprocal members of another club. The bar staff was incredibly friendly and kind. The club president gave us a tour, and we decided to try their steak night. The prices were reasonable, and the food was delicious. The drinks were also reasonably priced and poured generously!“

“I recently started going to this place because it is right by my work. I love the food, the employee that helps me with my order every day. He is always very nice & he has my order memorized. They just recently opened up & I would definitely recommend going! Great place!“

“great food, service, and beer“

“Always a blast. New favorite hangout.“

“Food was awesome, environment was nice!“

“I didn't eat here, but food is available including a connection to the Mexican restaurant next door. Not a large place. They open the garage door by the pool table on nice days. Lots of whimsical decorations. Much of them are related to the Stutz automobiles.“

“I've been here before but forgot to review. Have always had great service in the past; however, the guy working today was extremely rude. Beer is always good and served cold. Atmosphere is excellent since it's inside the Garage. Plenty of food options around to match any of your beer choices here.“

“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!“

“Called them to host my 21ST birthday party last week and they were AMAZING. The manager answered all my questions and made me feel heard(even though I called him multiple times), and when I got there they had already reserved the space for me, the servers were sweet and attentive and so so kind. The atmosphere was laid back and fun and even my family and friends said it was a really really nice spot. Would definitely go back! And the food definitely didn’t hurt either! Was delicious for an even more delicious price! Thank you Dustin!! Would give ten stars if I could!“

“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.“

“Very friendly staff. Food was incredible. Was not expecting a full menu, but was pleasantly impressed and surprised. Definitely our new Go-to spot.“

“Update: June 2025 - Great deal on pizza & breadsticks. Nice atmosphere inside Vinny's Drive Bar. //March 2025 - We got food to go for a poker party: extra large pizza, 3 large pizzas, breadsticks, & wings. All the food was excellant, and for a great price - best deal on pizza. Good service taking our order & food was made timely. RECOMMENDED“

“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.“

“You HAVE to try Crab 99 Bar & Restaurant in Indianapolis. They seriously have the best food ever. A special shout-out to the little Asian guy who works there – he's the funniest and most awesome person I’ve ever met. Honestly, it's the best food in Indianapolis. If you ever stop by, this is a place you should visit. If you love seafood, this is THE place for you. The environment makes you feel like you’re in a high-class, five-star seafood restaurant, and you won’t ever find any kinder, more respectful customer service.“

“We were a party of 11 adults and 3 babies and had fantastic service. They put us in a room of our own with a round table. It was perfect to be able to visit each other from across the table. This is our ‘go to’ Mexican food in the area. Well done! 👍🏻“

“Deliciosos los tacos arabes“

“It's was good. Service wasn't great, but food and atmosphere was neat. We came in an hour before closing, never brought sweet tea, and then was told they didn't have any, and then we asked for desert, 5 min before closing and they told us kitchen was closed.“
