“Amber was an awesome waitress. She was really at the top of her game.“

“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.“

“Nice atmosphere great service“

“best bar in town to see quality local music“

“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!“

“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.“

“When we walked into the restaurant, we had no idea there was a bar tucked away inside. It was very inviting and the beverages were phenomenal. I had a mock-tail which was fantastic and my husband had some sort of gin tonic. Highly recomened this location for a drink and quick bite to eat!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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 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“

“Came during Devour Indy. Great special, great place to hang. My only complaint is there wasn't a bathroom inside the bar, which I find unusual and frustrating. They told me where I could go via thru the courtyard. There was a wedding going on so I tried to find another entry. Couldn't & was forced to either pee myself (on my bday) or squat between some cars, which I did. Pretty embarrassing experience, hope no one saw.“

“Great place to see a band.
Nice little setup outside for it.
I wouldn't recommend the catfish dinner though.
I only ate it because I was hungry.
But don't let that stop you from stopping in for a cold beer and to see some good local bands“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Great people that'll treat you like family. Best everyday prices I know of not to mention the coldest beer and shots around!!!“

“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!“

“Wednesday chicken dinner special is the best. great place to buy and smoke a cigar on the balcony or on the patio. amazing remodel upstairs must see. From shots and beer to specialty drinks made by Ryan it covers what ever craving you have.“

“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.“

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

“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 🔥🔥🔥‼️“

“Always a blast. New favorite hangout.“

“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!“

“As a world traveler, I've been to numerous Crown Plaza hotels. They are know for their higher standards of luxury to meet higher customer expectations. I've had visiting the Indianapolis Intl Airport Crown Plaza on my list of places to visit, especially The Landing Restaurant. Covid restrictions have put a serious damper on getting out in the area to visit nice places to eat. Finally, I was in the right place at the right time to stop in for breakfast at The Landing. At the time of this visit the menu was Ala Carte, but they do run a buffet from time to time. I decided on the Breakfast Burrito, I know, sounds like a simple dish. When it arrived at the table, the plating was well laid out and appealing to the eye. On the plate were slices of orange and strawberry, great for cleaning the palet. The homefried potatoes were nicely cooked with a light crisping. The burrito was well stuffed with breakfast options and tightly rolled, then lightly toasted, very well put together! The salsa and sour cream sides were of high quality and complimented the dish well. It's obvious the chef is skilled and cares about how the food is going out of the kitchen. The staff were professional and friendly, the dining room clean, pleasant and comfy. I look forward to my lunch visit!“

“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!“

“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.“
