We had done our research and were really excited to try this place. Fortunately, we were staying close by but sadly weren’t able to get there until about 10:35ish PM. Separate kitchen hours are not listed so we weren’t able to try the food nor were we informed of the kitchen closing when we came in and were given menus. Additionally, new menues were rolled out “JUST today” and weren’t updated on the website. The menu items that drew us to the location were no longer available. Service was also really slow. Concepts and menues seemed amazing, execution missed the bar for us. I hope others have a better experience.

This place is actually nowhere special. I don’t know how this place managed to make its way on the list of cocktail places to visit in Indianapolis but I’m pretty sure you can go to Cheesecake Factory or TGIF and have the same sort of cocktail experience there. The bartender was not friendly either and was not very knowledgeable on the sort of cocktails that were on the menu and made it very clear they weren’t willing to make a drink to fit my taste preferences either. This was super disappointing, enough for me to just leave the establishment and google another cocktail place. I ended up at the ball & biscuit and my experience walking in was already 100% better. I really wanted to like this establishment but first impression was not so great, definitely did not give a true craft cocktail vibe.

Great cocktail bar on Mass Ave. I got three cocktails there. All bourbon cocktails. They had a good variety of bourbon, tequila, rum, and vodka cocktails--the menu has so many options. The cocktails i got were all delicious. They also had surprisingly good food. I got a potato chorizo empanada and it was delicious. This is a basement bar and I love that vibe. Lots of pipes, brick walls, and speakeasy vibes. The waiter was very friendly and the service was quick for how busy it was. Definitely get here early if you want to come with a group. We went on a Saturday and it filled up.

There are some incredible cocktails in this basement. Pretty busy in here on a Saturday night, but a very cool spot.

Awesome music & ambiance . Definitely picturesque & pretty ! The decor is amazing. We had the beef dumplings, they're so good !! Small portions, but just enough for late night. Service from Quinton was awesome!

Wow, this was one of the coolest cocktail bars I've been to in a while and it was while I was in Indy on a work trip where we happen to have stumbled upon this bar after dinner! We just wanted to top the night off with a drink and when we went downstairs and saw this place, I was amazed by the aesthetic and ambiance! It was really spacious, and decorated well but the best part was the drink menu! It was a huge drink menu with a lot of variety and classics. We couldn't resist the lunchbox drink that came with a literal PB&J sandwich. The drink itself had a great presentation and was actually super strong! And of course the PB&J was still delicious.

All good! Nice ambiance, abundant bourbon selections. I did not try the food, perhaps on my visit.

Good drinks and food. Ribs and dumplings are fire!!!
This is such a perfect, unique, gem of a speakeasy to have opened in DT Indy. Their drink menu is diverse - I'm positive anyone would find at least 1 drink they enjoy from here. The drink menu is very big with multiple choices, for all types of taste buds. Some drinks rotate/are seasonal (discovered by their team). They also have a small food menu - some must try's include their nuts, bao buns, and cucumber salad. You can thank me later ;) The space is much bigger than expected with various tables seating available; there are even a handful of tables for bigger parties. Nowhere Special has great drinks, food, and vibes!

What a nice hidden gem. We came here for surprise birthday drinks for a friend and I happened to come across it on Yelp beforehand. It's very hidden on the street. I almost thought it looked closed when I pulled up because there is no bar to walk into immediately. Once you get into the lobby area, you have to go downstairs to find the bar. It's very vibey - dark and intimate. The service was great. Our waitress was attentive and checked on us often enough. They had a lot of drinks "sold out" on the menu but still had plenty of options + zero proof options. Some people ordered food too which looked delicious. Overall, cool place and good experience.

Great cocktails and a very nice, moody environment to hang out. I went on a Saturday night and it was very chill.

This is a new go-to spot on Mass Ave. It is a "speakeasy" in the sense that it has vague signage and is in a basement. The vibes are vibing!!!!! It's super cute, dark, and moody. It's on the smaller side, so seating is limited but I've yet to have a problem. The drinks are interesting... I think they are still figuring out their menu. I also ordered some small plates from the food menu. The cucumber salad was refreshing and the dumplings were delicious. Even though they had just opened, the staff was well educated on the menu and gave great recommendations!

Very cool speakeasy. Our server was great, attentive. Steamed Buns were delicious.... I didn't expect the food here to be good. Cocktails are very good, even if you try a random one. Prices are on par with anywhere else, atmosphere is quite conducive to date night. Recommend.
