Lauren was our bartender, and she was amazing! Great suggestions on cocktails and perfectly made drinks. I would absolutely suggest the Rye Bar at the Marriott Hotel Downtown Indianapolis.

Great service and atmosphere. We spent quite a bit of time here since our hotel lost power and could not go to our room. The food is delicious and drinks are cold a solid stop for a meal with your significant other.

Rye Bar is a hotel bar inside the downtown Indianapolis Marriott. Limited seating around the bar with extended seating into the lobby-ish area. Nice setting, good bourbon / rye selections, but definitely a hotel bar.
Krista Gremos
A good selection of bourbon and rye. Visited after an event on 9/10/2022 and the bartender did an awesome job on two versions of an old fashioned (one Michter's rye and one Angel Envy bourbon). A tad pricey, but still delicious.

Be ready to be charged more than the menu pricing. We ordered, and enjoyed 2 bourbons. When I got the check, we were charged $5 more for 1 and $3 more for the other. The explanation I got from the bartender was that they charge more when bourbon is ordered neat because they give a bigger pour. I'm not a bourbon regular, but this doesn't seem right to me. I paid my bill with a 20% tip, but I won't be back to this establishment.

Stopped in the Rye Bar for a night cap and although the bar was stacked, Dennis the bartender was one funny and knowledgeable dude. He spoke my level Japanese which is almost zero but was a fun character and excellent bar Our group consisted of individuals with a taste of good bourbon and the Rye Bar's inventory included some tasty and exceptional examples. The concern now is the Coach will on the trail to find the ones we tried and make them part of his impressive collection. The bar is located on the lobby level of the Marriott Downtown Indianapolis and was very busy but the bartenders did a fantastic job at filling the orders. The Rye Bar is rated as a highly recommended bar to quench your thirst.
Rye bar is one of the best bars I’ve been to. Need to ask for Anna when you’re there. She makes a great drink. We’re there last weekend for a friends birthday and she makes an excellent Sazerac and Old Fashioned!

Loved this hotel bar. We were in town for a concert that was postponed and found this place. The Palm Breeze cocktail is one of the best I've ever had and the bartender was extremely knowledgeable and personable. We will definitely be back!

You can't go wrong with a visit to this bar inside the Downtown Indianapolis Marriot. We ordered the smoked chicken wings and warm pretzel bites, which were both delicious. The Rye bar Signature Old Fashion and Smoked Sazrac were both quite tasty and very well presented. The seasonal blood orange margarita was delicious and they also featured a specialty cocktail, Coconut Cookie, which was also beautifully presented and very tasty. The selection of whiskeys was extensive and well thought out. The bar staff was friendly, attentive and very knowledgeable. The atmosphere was very relaxed.
