“Great experience! I've never been to a place like this before. It was nice to get a drink (cheaply priced too!) and play as many games as we wanted. We each purchased 1 drink a piece and played an hour worth of arcade games! It was awesome, well worth the stop on our trip.“

“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!“

“Came here for a special event and wish it was closer to where I live. The vibes are wonderful with good lighting, large vinyl and VHS wall, and plenty of places to sit both in and outside. The drinks were fairly priced, but was sad they were out of rootbeer. Main issues: not enough restrooms & at least for this event they didn't have enough bartender for the size. Will probably look for other show or event to justify coming out this far north.“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“Great atmosphere, great food, fun staff!“

“This location holds wonderful memories (former Libertine). I expected to be disappointed but was pleasantly surprised.

The bar tender (Leo - who is likely a high level mixologist) asked for my drink preferences and then made the BEST whiskey and malort based cocktail. I typically don't love either.

Excellent.“

“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“

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

“This place is GREAT!! Laid back, and truly cares about the people who come and visit!! What a great place to hang out!“

“Great vibe, cheap drinks and GREAT pizza“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Tall brunette bartender, is the best 🥰“

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

“I really enjoyed the bartenders at this place. We can for some afternoon drinks and some tacos but stayed to hang out and ended up chatting it up with the bartenders. The tacos connected to Turner’s was really good. Esp with there being the pick up window in the establishment. This place seemed like a hot spot happy hour place and highly recommend coming with friends.“

“The service is impeccable. The atmosphere is so comfortable and classy. Delicious drinks and food! Jesse and Tammie have my heart🖤“

“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!“

“Great bourbon and whiskey selection ,cozy atmosphere“

“I've been going here for about six or seven years. I have always enjoyed the food and the bartenders and clientele have always been friendly.“

“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!“

“I don't do 5 stars often. But this bar is nice, with very attractive bar tenders, most of whom are pleasant. Not all but most. Food is good, a little high in my opinion for a bar but not to high. Good beer selection too, on tap and in bottles.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“love it all the way around !!!“

“great place to stop in and get a drink. cannot beat the dollar beer deals on Thursdays. drinking for a few hours and having a 9 tab at the end of the night is pretty ridiculous lol. and everyone who works there is wonderful. it's like a big family. would definitely recommend giving this place a shot.“

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

“Just a nice place and good service“

“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!“

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

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

“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“

“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.“
