50 Best Bars near Speedway

“It's a bar food kind of place. I pieces the fish and chills and there was barely any flavor and the fries were crispy and got cold quick. The beer i ordered though was delicious. Very smooth! Definitely more of a sports pub where you come in for beer,a game, and conversation and food is an afterthought.“

“The food here is amazing! The bartender casey is super nice and makes the best bloody Mary ever!!“

“Great venue! Secluded and and all the great fixings. Local beverages, friendly bartender and staff. Security was in the house. Music was excellent! I'm be honest was just right. Lighting and sound systems were definitely well thought of. Really cool decor especially in the bathrooms. Unisex bathrooms. Plenty of parking. Plenty of space. Will definitely come back for another live concert if the opportunity arises“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“If you love live music this club needs to be in your rotation!“

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

“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.“

“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“

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

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

“Great vibe, cheap drinks and GREAT pizza“

“Visiting our old stomping ground for our Forum reunion.“

“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.“

“great food an atmosphere. great music. the band was awesome“

“Loved! Quick, fresh, tasty food, variety, chic decor, friendly, will be back. Unique.“

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

“Such an adorable quaint cocktail bar! We came from out of town and the bartender gave us lots of good recommendations for this trip & beyond. She was awesome and continued to chat with us while she was closing up. Great drinks, great vibes, would totally go again!“

“The patio is awesome! ZeeBee Karaoke Sunday nights 6 to 10! Come sing and enjoy this incredible spot in Broad Ripple. 😃“

“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!“

“They have the hands down best burgers!“

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

“In from out of town from Michigan and our bartenders both nights we showed up here to drink and hang out, Nakaya and Haley were awesome! Melanie the manager was awesome too and gave great recommendations on drinks. Loved the old fashion with the peanut butter whiskey it was my favorite drink. Thank you ladies for a wonderful and fun experience! Will be back again.“

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

“love it all the way around !!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Always a blast. New favorite hangout.“

“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“

“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!“

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

“I’ve been to large corporate cigar bars and small from Cuba, Texas, Europe.Best Cigar joint I’ve been to.I’m not family but this place is like home.Friendly BIG dudes run the place. Great atmosphere. Great whiskey, no stress vibe leave it at the door.Good music.I’ll be back every time I’m in Indi.“

“Tall brunette bartender, is the best 🥰“

“I won't lie, I've never had a place allow my dog to be treated as much of a princess as what she is here. I originally set up an appointment and party to have my dog for her temp birthday to be done here. And oh my goodness, I've never seen so many of the regulars and the bar staff treat her like a little princess as she is. The drinks are fantastic. The beers are phenomenal, but also the staff is fantastic on working around dietary limitations like gluten intolerance. I have slowly become gluten intolerant, and the staff has been fantastic about making sure that their menus are safe. For those that have these allergies. What a fantastic crew, thank you for allowing me and my own to come in here and treating us like royalty! Thank you so much!“

“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 🔥🔥🔥‼️“

“Been going to Mine Shafts for over 20 years! Always my spot! Loyal to their patrons and have great Bartenders, servers, DJ and security bouncers! In these uncertainties, Mine shafts will always be a certain! Thanks y keep up the awesome work and dedication! Peace out.! southsidemayor“

“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!“

“Great bourbon and whiskey selection ,cozy atmosphere“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Loooooved the bison burger!! Deep fried mac n Cheese with sweet chili sauce was to die for. Definitely recommend and I will be back!!“

“Very nice place.. good food. The personal so gently . service professional..and Sea food . ?..and taco's.l won't telling..so asowe..“
