I’ve never written a review before in my life, but we had such an odd experience last night. We’ve been coming here periodically for a few years and have always had a good time. We were out front standing closer to the street than the building. The door guy told us to move back behind the ribbon, which was completely understandable. It was no problem at all, so we moved towards the building where other people were standing. He then kept repeating and yelling at us to get behind the ribbon, even though by that point, we already were. We were now standing directly next to everyone else up against the building, but he was only yelling at us for some reason. And then a random girl came up and kind of got in my face, pointed toward the street where we had originally been standing, and told me we needed to move back there right now. At that point, we didn't say anything and just left. The whole exchange was strange, confusing, and unnecessarily hostile. It doesn't take much effort to just be nice to people. As the saying goes, misery loves company.

Such a cool place with a great vibe love the pool tables up stairs and down stairs both amazing . On the other hand I’m a bartender and I never leave these type of reviews but consistently your bartenders are drinking on the job and are rude . Attitude about literally everything. I will say the bartender with the long hair last night apologized for the way his co worker was acting but it wasn’t his fault . Sometimes bartenders can get burnt out after awhile I get it it’s long hours . But treating people like shit in the service industry is the worst thing for the company and tips .

We went here for karaoke while in town for a Taking Back Sunday/ Coheed and Cambria concert. They have karaoke every Sunday. The kj was very nice and a great singer. But when theres SO many singers, and there was SO many singers, I dont think the kj should also be singing. There was a lot of time wasted too. We waited forever to sing as did everyone else. So many people sang then left immediately. The crowd was very supportive and engaged while there. Wide variety of song choices. The libations were flowing so everyone was pretty tipsy. Prime people watching for a sober gal like myself. They were serving food til pretty late it looked like too but we didnt eat. They have a game room upstairs that had a couple arcade games 🕹, a foosball table, a skeeball table and a couple of pool tables 🎱. The place is pretty big!

Driving through town stopped in to have a few beers and shoot some pool because we had heard of there game room and pool tables being a good experience. Asked for a bucket of Budweiser they don’t have carry that beer nor do they offer buckets or any drink specials which was disappointing to start. Go upstairs to there game room almost every pool table had torn felt and stains from various fluids carpet was greasy and dingy. We find a decent table to shoot pool and find that the bar had no chalk for the ques anywhere mind you it costs $10/hr for a table then per asking the bartender for chalk she has no answer to providing any I request money back and she denies so we play a miserable game of pool have our $30 bucket of beer set our pool balls to the side so nobody takes our dingy table and take a smoke break outside when I receive an emergency call for my daughter so we leave. Next day my card is charged for $75 for the hour of pool because of the pool balls we set to the side. Two days later I decide to go back and have a civil conversation upon the misunderstanding where I am then denied service because “the cost needs to be set right with the bar” for what seems to be an up and coming area this establishment appears to be drowning in the pond of businesses that are flourishing around it. I’m a frequent flyer at bars and will be sure this business receives feedback from my groups. To any future customers here I know you can do better at finding a place for entertainment

Came here to get some drinks with some friends at about 12-1 am the upstairs bartender was drunk taking shots and flirting with a girl at the bar so I didn’t tip and then I asked if he had a lime and he says “not for you.” I then decide to get more drinks but think ‘maybe downstairs will be more professional’ I was wrong. The bartender down there walks over to our corner of the bar where we were simply standing and waiting and slams down a tablet on the table multiple times and then throws it across the bar at us. My friend reasonably upset began yelling at him and we were told “you can leave if YOU are gonna start problems.” WHAT!? Quickly another bartender realized her coworker was the issue and offered us free drinks but after all of this I will never spend my money here again and suggest others avoid it.

Don't sit at the end cause you'll be ignored, dont be in the middle cause you'll be skipped, came in at 1:20am (6/22) and I just wanted to come in ask if they had food and grab a quick drink. I'll just take myself somewhere else, message heard.

This place is a cool old place to hangout with some friends, grab a drink and/or food, and play some games. There are plenty of pool tables, a few dart boards, pinball games, and plenty of room.

I was visiting from Miami, FL and me and my man decided to take a stroll around fountain square and we stumbled upon this place. It was such a vibe. We played pool upstairs and it was only 5 bucks for 1 hour! It was such a vintage little spot. We decided to eat at the bar and I had the best sampler of life! I decided on the lemon pepper wings and everything was made fresh. I will be visiting Indianapolis again and this place will be our go to again.
