“best bar in town to see quality local music“

“Nice atmosphere great service“

“BEST burgers in Indy, even better people working there! I’ve never had a bad experience or bad food. Always consistent. Always welcoming. Always delicious. 100 plus years making the best smash burgers!“

“Nowhere Special is a hidden gem when it comes to unique cocktail experiences. Their blue cheese dirty martini is unparalleled, offering a sophisticated twist on the classic martini that elevates it to new heights.
The rich, savory flavor of the blue cheese pairs perfectly with the crisp, clean notes of the martini, making it a must-try. Jake behind the bar is fantastic, delivering great service with skill and a friendly demeanor that enhances the overall experience.
Nestled in a dark, sunless environment, this speakeasy's ambiance is accentuated by its moody lighting and perfectly curated music, adding to the allure.
To top it all off, their happy hour between 5pm and 8pm from Sundays through Thursdays offers delicious cocktails at a great price. If you're looking for a standout cocktail in a captivating atmosphere, Nowhere Special is the place to be.“

“Edit: I wrote my review nearly a decade ago, but I find myself recommending Tappers. They offer alcohol, with other places don't.

my favorite arcade in town (that goes to Boss Battle Games), but it's still a good time. The beer is the biggest upside. The downfall to it, which keeps me from going, to be honest, is the lack of space. It is always crowded and machines can fill up if they are the popular ones. Not to say I won't wait, but being elbow to elbow while waiting/playing is unfortunate.“

“Never heard of it until two weeks ago. Good atmosphere, great oldies music, deep purple etc. I would definitely go again. Plenty of room to be comfortable. Good parking and clean bathrooms. Very impressed.“

“Top 3 bars in the state of Indiana. A must go if you are visiting or live here“

“Love the bartender ,Stephenie is friendly and very nice to everyone..Great place to hang with friends and to relax after work .“

“I was there wiyh friends that part was good. I ordered a takeout order of fish for my husband and which has on prior times been great. But I was so disappointed by this order when I saw it and how unappetising and overcooked this order looked...a waste of my money.“

“Stopped here for a drink and snack. Was greeted by the sweetest gal, we were served very quickly and everything tasted wonderful!“

“I came here looking for a good stiff drink and something to eat and I found so much more! I was in town as a caregiver for someone receiving medical treatment, and this quickly became my place to come and decompress. On my first visit I was made to feel at home, even though I was 1,500 miles from home. I had a quick drink (or two) and was so excited to come back. Time after time that I came back I was always treated wonderfully - everyone on the team even took care to ask how things were going medically and make sure I was okay, and even eating properly. Social to me isn’t just a bar/restaurant. It was a family experience, when I so desperately needed it“

“Great vibe, cheap drinks and GREAT pizza“

“Super cool atmosphere! Will definitely be coming back.“

“Great place to meet with friends downtown. Nice, no-frills vibe with good mixed drinks and cheap beers. The dollar hot dogs are a lifesaver and the Julietta's tacos next door are fantastic. They have Coors Banquet on draft, which rules.“

“It’s a great hometown bar“

“The hidden gem in Garfield Park! Unique and amazing food, STELLAR Bartenders, welcoming to everyone and weekly events! Why go anywhere else!!“

“Great spot! Mark is really welcoming and friendly. Dog friendly!“

“love it all the way around !!!“

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

“The best little dive bar—in all the right ways! The new owner has truly leveled up this spot, with on-point updates and a menu that’s seriously good (don’t skip the pizza!). The Wednesday Filipino lunch specials are a must-try, and with plenty of parking, it’s easy to swing by. Whether you’re grabbing a quick drink or settling in for the night, it’s the perfect pre-game stop before basketball or football. This place never disappoints!“

“The Grove just recently reopened under new ownership and we stopped in to play pool and have a couple beers. We ended up having a few buckets and shots. Then the band Rocking Horse began. They sounded very good. I seen them back in the mid nineties. We danced and had a great time. We didn't eat...this time but we will go back and eat then. In the past the food was really good. We'll know next time.“

“I come here from time to time after work for a Mule and to listen to some of the live music. I like that they have 3 floors and outdoor space. The staff is very friendly and the drinks are usually good. Will say their lavender mule doesn't have a strong lavender flavor if that's what you are looking for.“

“Always a blast. New favorite hangout.“

“My server Hannah was amazing! Very attentive and friendly! She was also very helpful in making suggestions when I was not sure what I wanted. Southwest Eggrolls and Onion rings are AMAZING! The atmosphere in here is so much better than Robbie’s imo. All staff was super friendly and overall wonderful service! You’ve done a great job with the place! I can’t wait to see the continued growth!“

“We love Pins! The atmosphere is always so fun for adults and kids! Today though we ran into KD who was putting tinsel pieces in hair. She was literally so sweet! She even put tinsel pieces in my son’s short hair and made his whole day! We love it here!“

“Tall brunette bartender, is the best 🥰“

“Had the Tenderloin and Tots. The other meal was a Chicken Quesadilla. Both very good. The cook was working harder than our server. Once our meals were delivered our server didn't come back until she brought our check. No drink refills. She seemed to be more involved with the regulars.
It's a welcoming place, quiet, had the game on. I would go back there. The food was awesome. I can't let one waitress ruin good food.“

“Great dive bar. Love the crowd.“

“We had a party of 12, many visiting from out of town, and had a fabulous time at the Dugout. We loved the entertainment, Mimi and Orvis. They were engaging and took requests which everybody enjoyed. We will definitely be back!“

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

“Decent prices for the location - within walking distance of Lucas Oil Stadium. It’s great for pre-game drinks! Not usually very crowded, so you can get quick drink service.Don’t order the bruschetta... It was a soup of balsamic with a handful of tomato chunks thrown in. The non-vegetarian options looked decent, though. I definitely view this place as more of a drinking bar to chill at than a restaurant, but my menu options were pretty limited (so it might be better for meat eaters).Staff is nice and remembers the regulars. They also have karaoke some nights!“

“Love Qwen & the crew. Always a Good Time for the Grown Folks that want to have a cocktail in a relaxing, clean, no drama and safe atmosphere. And the food is 🔥🔥🔥‼️“

“fun atmosphere, great bartender“

“My favorite drink spot. Never such a crowd that would make you second guess yourself. The owners are always inviting and always there. If you cant support you own business then why should i! They are the best in the city when it comes to having great drinks, in a safe place, while receiving above average service! Thank recovery room for setting the bar!“

“Great owners and a great time!!!“

“Chelsea with Offline - I had a great time. The server was fantastic, I just feel bad I didn’t hear his name. Me and my friend enjoy bourbon so he picked some cocktails for us that were delicious. Then we ordered two appetizers Butternut squash + pita and winter flatbread and both were yummy! Definitely would love to come back. The seating also helps. Nice and cushioned. Ha.“

“I've been here before but forgot to review. Have always had great service in the past; however, the guy working today was extremely rude. Beer is always good and served cold. Atmosphere is excellent since it's inside the Garage. Plenty of food options around to match any of your beer choices here.“

“Good food and a pub type atmosphere. Prices are reasonable and the bartenders do a great job. Bingo on Tuesday is a lot of fun“

“Love the safe, fun, and diverse atmosphere! Always greeted by name when visiting. All the staff is very welcoming. Always served in a timely manner no matter how busy they are. If you have yet to stop in, I highly recommend doing so. It’s s an enjoyable experience you’ll return to!“

“great place to have a drink“

“Great bourbon and whiskey selection ,cozy atmosphere“
