“Great service, nice atmosphere, and delicious drinks!“

“The Ocarina of Fries! I’ve never tasted anything like this in my life of dining. Waffle Sweet potato fries with cinnamon and Brown sugar, Cream cheese sauce topped w/ Chives! OMGOODNESS!!! Then The Perfect Pizza totally lived up to its name. Oven baked Flatbread, marinara from the gods, old world pepperoni, fresh mozzarella and peppadew peppers. I added chorizo. Deeeeeeeeelicious! Soooo good!“

“😁Love This Place Great People makes you at home“

“Great new place to eat, grab a beer, watch a game. Super friendly bartender Byron! Highly recommended“

“Interesting little place. Dined outdoors here for lunch, and it had a great vibe. Indoor and outdoor dining, but they do not offer table service. You order your food and drinks from the bar. Rock solid breaded tenderloin! Very nicely seasoned and cooked perfectly. All the toppings were fresh, and the pickles tasted like they were locally sourced. They had a smoker going outside when I walked up, and it smelled fantastic! Would definitely come back here again.“

“Ordered the Ale Supremo pizza and ended up having to wait about an hour until we got it. No biggie. It happens. The manager (Diane) threw in a large order of wings, refunded our money, AND gave us a $20 gift card. Now THAT'S customer service! The food was absolutely delicious, too. Needless to say, we're Ale Emporium customers for life. Thank you!“

“Been staying at the iron works hotel a lot due to having to be in Indy a lot lately. This place is basically attached to the hotel. We have had the pizza, burgers, black bean burger and beers. I did see a review their their soda is not the best and i will agree with that we couldn’t even drink it so not sure what’s up with that but we have been back so much because everything else is great. We will be back again at the end of the month and plan on going back. They were out of 4 packs of beer the last time to go and i was wondering why they couldn’t just sell 4 cans separately but hopefully they have them back in stock.“

“As has been noted often, this is one of the few places in town with authentic Mexican food. This was our first time here and we're glad we finally decided to check it out. We both got a few tacos- the chicken was a little dry but overall didn't ruin the taco by any means, and we tried the asada & lengua as well. Chips and dip were great, queso was amazing.“

“Great good and great atmosphere!!“

“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.“

“My kids say they High Velocity has the best ice cream ever and they rate it 5 stars! The pretzels and beer cheese were also delicious! Great snack before the Indians game!“

“Great atmosphere and very nice staff. Shelby St feels very welcoming when you come in. Definitely a hidden gem on the Southside.“

“Great bar great food great people great bands. Good time my favorite bar thanks Tina for being a good sweet lady.“

“Great food and their coke is better than mcdonald's. Kelsey and Kahlel are always kickin butt and so friendly“

“Great food and vibes all the time!!“

“Single best bar / restaurant / music I've ever been to I had a rare steak dinner for under $15 it was down in under 15 minutes and it was one of the tastiest steaks I've ever had the people were really nice spent less than $10 had a few beers played a couple games of pool. I really recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to eat drink dance or play pool it's pretty much got everything and everyone in there is really nice“

“Waitress, server, & hostess were all great, very friendly. We sat outside and really enjoyed being by the lake. The inside looks very nice, also.

My wife loved her pecan crusted chicken salad and my fish & chips were great. Food & beverages are very reasonably priced.“

“This is a very busy sports bar. We rolled in around 10:30 pm and they were slammed still. It becomes 21+ with security on the door. You seat yourself at this point. The waitstaff seemed a little over whelmed. It took 20 minutes to get drinks and food in. They bussing tables clear but not right away so it was just kinda busy and cluttered looking. The crowd grew by the way, later it got the more people showed up. The burger and cheese curds were delicious and a good size portions. I am sure with normal staffing and a great sports day vibe this place would get all five stars, but tonight it was just a four.“

“LaShay (sorry on spelling) was truly amazing. We were such a big party… she tracked so many tables/patrons with organization and kindness. She was a Baller. She was whipping out food like it was nothing but also making sure she took care of us and everyone had what they needed. Thank you so much! Great experience. Especially thanks to our server!“

“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!“

“Server Odyssey was "Off The Chain" professional!“

“Great good and great atmosphere!!“

“Excellent food, awesome service and staff. The live music on the covered deck was outstanding. I'm sure I will be going back.“

“Outstanding Clint Eastwood Burger Outstanding service, pleasant surroundings Good times“

“Hangar 58 is an absolute gem! The food was incredible, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The variety on the menu has something for everyone, and the drink selection was spot on. The atmosphere was lively but still comfortable, making it a great place to unwind and enjoy a meal. The service was excellent—friendly, fast, and attentive. I’ll definitely be recommending this spot to friends!“

“My wife and I stopped by to play a few games of pool. Was crowded with league teams but we managed to get one of the two tables in the back room. We stayed a couple hours and had several beers and glasses of wine. The tables are very nice, the service was friendly and fast. If we lived in the area this would be our spot. Will definitely come again on a future visit.“

“Great food, great service! Ethan was on the ball with our group of 20+ people!Perfect place to watch the games!!! Will definitely come back again thanks for the recommendation Monica!!!“

“Love this bar one of a kind staff very attentive wanting everyone to have a good time Dayshift you have the beautiful Tiffany Night Shift you have the incredible Dave, Graham, Fred and the beautiful Alena, Jackie, Gabby, Mia, Stormy, Courtney One of the best bars on the planet“

“I travel to Indy once or twice a year, and I make sure I stop at KSR for food and drinks. By far the best family-owned bar and restaurant I have visited in Indy. I highly recommend this place. Do not judge by appearance (which I believe makes it a better experience). The pizza, wings, and sandwiches are off the charts. Hell, the salads look amazing, and I am not a big salad fan. You can tell that if you know me“

“Fun atmosphere. Music bingo, games, karaoke is fun!“

“This is a great neighborhood bar. Try the fried chicken special, it’s a great deal and delicious. Love this bar!“

“Best wings ever! This is the best location as well“

“Love it! Best staff ever ⭐️“

“Definitely 21 & over. They card you at the door upon entry. Basically you order at the bar, tell them where you will be sitting, & they bring it to you. Tons of TV with lots of sports plus horse racing. Let's talk about the menu it's not large, but definitely has something for everyone. Indiana known for Pork Tenderloin Sandwich was a great size & enjoyed the seasoned fries. At the bartender's suggestion I tried the Pork Tenderloin with mashed potatoes, cream gravy, & onion strings. Fantastic! Full bar & enjoyed a really tasty margarita. Would definitely go back.“

“Great food and even better atmosphere. You won’t find a better staff. If you are looking for a good meal and a cold beer this is the spot! Jarod and his team go out of their way to create a good experience for each customer whether it’s your first time or you’ve been coming for years.“

“Always conscious staff that keeps up with the demand of customers. Great food and the monthly stuffed breadsticks are always something we look out for. The Quesa Birria ones last month were exceptionally delicious. We hope they bring them back!!“

“Carlos was fantastic! Best service I have ever had. I was here with a friend ( we only see each other every couple months so we were here over 3 hours. He was attentive and kept our drinks full. Will definitely ask for him when we come back.“

“We had a really good time and I think everyone in Indy should visit at least once and the pizza and wings are amazing someone needs to kiss 💋 😘 😗 😚 😙 😋 the cook Yard Line Lounge thank you foran amazing time I'll be back soon 😘💃😍“

“Great experience at Hooters Indianapolis Downtown! Friendly and attentive service, good food, relaxed atmosphere, and a really nice vibe. The team was welcoming and made the visit enjoyable. Definitely a great spot to stop by when you’re in downtown Indianapolis. Would happily come back!“

“Courtland showed us the different low top tables inside and out so we could choose the safest for our little ones. He told us his favorite meals and other customer favorites. The food was very good. Conveniently located in our hotel. Good service and food. Will eat here again.“

“It's a good college type bar in the broad ripple area. Good food... had some great service. It doesn't really stand out as a go to bar. There are several better ones in the area. However you won't be disappointed if you here.“

“Wow!!!! The service we received here was AWESOME!!!! Bailey are bartender was on it!!!! Great drinks!!! Food was really good too. Thanks to whole Brothers crew for a great experience!!! Highly recommend to anyone visiting Indy to visit Brothers“

“I only came here to say. I got the new crispy spicy mustard chicken sandwich with waffle fries. And it was amazing! Only thing I can say is there’s not much advertising on those chicken sandwiches. If I didn’t go online to check the menu I would not have ordered it. I definitely will be telling folks about it.“
