Drinks were good but it was very cramped and there was only one bartender who had to handle everything and so getting drinks took a while.

I was in from out of town several days before Xmas, and was in the vicinity so from Googling, we ended up here for a quick and basic breakfast. We got basic croissant with egg and cheese buy still, I was impressed! Croissants tasted fresh. There were only a few other people there so I hope it makes more business because its a charming spot and is WOMAN OWNED! The atmosphere is that of a lounge, with several pretty red sofas.. and they've got a few of those popular lit up phrase-signs. It definitely has a different, more unique vibe than most places in Indy. Oh, and make sure you use the restroom, because the decor in there made me giggle out loud to myself!! There you'll find the cat photos that I attached here!

Love the vibes of this place. I've been here for both coffee and cocktails and both are very good. They have the best espresso martini.

Very chill vibe, different from the more standard pub-style places on the block. Decent cocktails, laid-back service, comfy chairs and high-tops. Solid music playlist going on as well. Definitely one of the better options in the area.

Best espresso martini. So balanced and you can actually taste a great, rich espresso. The espresso martini is not usually my jam because they're often too sweet or full of cream. But Thieves' version is clean, bold, and tasty. Seasonal cocktails were flavorful and fun as well. And it's a cool atmosphere with a little edge.

Really love this place and happy to have it in Broad Ripple. It’s a bit pricey + the service is slow on the weekends because they only have one person working the floor (at least the 2 times I’ve been there). Will definitely keep supporting because they have great cocktails, atmosphere, and BR needs this type of bar. Plus….cocktails and coffee in one spot is always a win.

I came for my first time last weekend and our server Arianna was so great. She explained to us that they do coffee and cocktails all day. She also helped us decide what drinks we may like, I wanted to get a French 75 but she suggested that I try the French Martini and I loved it. She also said the Made Me Do It is her favorite drink so we got that with bourbon and it is now my boyfriend’s. It was very busy but the drinks were worth the wait. Overall the atmosphere was awesome. I will definitely come back to try the coffee and will come back on a night out as well.

Great spot for unique and rotating craft cocktails! Vibe is easy with great music, the two best bartenders are Elisabeth and Quinn. Never had a bad drink or time when these two are here

Was double charged for a drink bc the waitress couldn’t find my original tab with my one and only drink I ordered. When she could not find my tab, she created a new tab and swiped my card again for that drink. She told me she would close out the old tab and not charge me when she found it, but she charged my card a second time and added a second tip on top of that. Sent proof on Instagram to the manager and also called twice and left voicemails but never heard back. I’ll never come back here again. Not sure why it’s this hard to get ahold of someone/get my money back

Elizabeth was amazing! Great sense of humor and fantastic cocktails! Been here for coffee but the cocktails solidified my repeat business!

Thieves has such a cozy and welcoming atmosphere — I really enjoy the coffee, the design, and the vibe of the main space.
But I was very unsettled when I went into the bathroom labeled “Rated R / 18+.” I assumed it was a cheeky joke, but instead the walls were plastered with Playboy images. That caught me completely off guard.
As someone who lives with OCD-type symptoms and a very visual memory, seeing explicit imagery like that isn’t just a passing moment — it sticks with me and can be very triggering and caused me emotional distress for the night and the next day. It also disrupted what was supposed to be a fun date night with my boyfriend.
I could understand if the décor had been cheeky pin-up art, but full Playboy spreads felt out of step with the otherwise safe and inclusive vibe. If the intent was irony or retro humor, it didn’t come across that way.
I hope, since Thieves is woman-owned and values inclusivity, that you’ll reconsider this choice or at least make the signage clearer (for example, “contains nudity/explicit imagery”). That way, guests who don’t want to be exposed to that can make an informed choice.

The manager runs this place with absolute excellence!!! It is actually stellar to see people who do the job RIGHT! I will continue being a weekly customer, the employees all look so happy and are so nice! The atmosphere with the lighting and the signs and the music is PERFECT. 10/10 Go here with your friends or on a date!
