Pre-COVID 19 visit. One of the BEST bars I have been to in a very long time. Music was great, service was great, food was great, drinks were great! The doorman even took a picture with me and my sister, who was visiting from St. Louis.

I liked this place a lot when it first opened up but it just got lazier with management and higher in prices. The food started getting overcooked and it got a little too gross in there like we were eating at a bus station in Detroit or something. The staff was extremely rude on social media whenever I had an interaction with them about any concern. Due to their own fault, this place failed and is closed forever at this point. I'm sure they're blaming it on Covid but let's be real. This was already happening. Hopefully a better bar opens up in our neighborhood in its spot.

I absolutely love this place. The food and the people are awesome! It’s the only place I actually care about the reopening of, and I can’t wait until it actually does reopen!!

This is one of my favorite places in Indy. My boyfriend of almost 4 years and I had our first date here. They recently expanded their menu so that all their kickass food has a vegan option. Love the hockey and horror movies, love the beer selection, love the metal playing constantly, love the strong mixed drinks. As soon as they reopen, I'll be there at least once every two weeks. Hope this place never changes.

I visited this bar on a whim while traveling through the area. What a great find! Food was great, drinks were decently priced, and service was fantastic. So...I went out of my way...about a 45 minute drive to take some friends to eat here again. I would love to come on a Friday night to see what it is like then. I will be back. Great little place you got there!

Half of the sign out front is blinking, the inside is dark and low lit, it's the perfect local spot. We were not locals, but this is where everyone pointed us. The beer selection is pretty good, there's skee ball, plenty of tv's and a solid burger awaiting you here!

Easily the best place in Indianapolis for not only vegan options but also fantastic burgers and dishes for meat eaters! The atmosphere is very laid back with a grunge bar feel. My favorite dish is the gyro, and the "sack of balls" is not something to miss out on!

My friend and I met here for lunch the Friday before the COVID shut down. We really enjoyed the vegan menu which is why we chose this place to begin with. My goal is to visit all the restaurants that offer the best tasting vegan food. They did not disappoint. The atmosphere at noon was a dim bar vibe which I loved. I love bars. There are old school pinball machines lining a few open walls. The service was fantastic. I will definitely come back. There are many vegan options that need tried.

Great place to grab a beer and some star shaped tater tots! Small side patio for smoking and some metal chairs and tables to chill. Plenty of pinball machines and just an overall go to for me.

So good! The chili cheese fries were exactly what I was looking for: great flavor and definitely comfort food. Look at the portion too, plenty to share! Great vibes and place to hang out with good people. Definitely recommend!

I really enjoy all the community events I get to go to at The Sinking Ship! They have a great menu with a variety of drinks and eats and my friend loves the pinball machines. A fun night out every night out here!
