41 Best Sports Bars near Speedway

“My wife and I have been long time wine club members so long that we have gotten to know all of the many mgrs ( and there have been a lot of them over a very short amount of time) the grad operation have become shorter and unpredictable and quite frankly we have wonder why or how It has stayed open for the past 4 years???? But we remained as wine club members because Foyt liters the best wine and we just love it! Recently came in to pick up our quartile bottles and where told we had already picked them up? This was impossible simply because the time when we were coming by they literally didn’t have any of the wines that we like? Not even for sale by the glass……. We told the lady that was there taking care of things ( whom we had never seen) and we where blown off for better yet made to feel we where trying to get over on them???? We were so offended!!!!! After tickets the winery all these years through what has obviously been hard times for them to be treelike that was the last straw!!! We went in last week to get our wine for this quarter and just call it quits and get rid of our mentor all these years and we were met with the new mgr Jenn. She was so pricey and classy and took the time to verities we were long time members !!!! She did what shocked us and provided us with most of the bottles that we were supposed to have two quarters ago and our new order!!!!! She had no idea we would be canceling our membership and that’s what made us stay and keep our membership!!!! She was a very refreshing thing to see !!!! A mgr first of all and one that looked to take care of what one would think is their most critical people the wine club members!!!!! Foyt has the best wine anywhere!!!!! I’m convinced the two who run the operation could care less about it doing good business since they don’t have any skin in it and it shows! They have the best wine that’s made by the Indy 500 greatest champion ( their) grandfather and it feels like this place is barely an afterthought for them. They never have a presence there and clearly don’t need it to be successful. But at least I can say that they found a great hire to steer the ship for them as Jenn was amazing as she manages , served and handled everything by herself on a Saturday with grace and class!!!!“

“Haven’t been to a Applebees in years Really enjoyed it great service and food“

“BRANDI the server was amazing, her service was top TIER, very on top of our order made us very comfortable and made sure we were tended to accordingly. One of the best servers I have ever had and will be coming back because of her. The food was very good especially the burgers. Service was phenomenal!“

“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.“

“Phenomenal breaded pork tenderloin. Side of onion rings and fries were delicious as well. Fish and chips were solid. The bartender workers were very friendly and attentive. Very neat vibe inside, they do have a TV for sports at the bar, a touch tunes jukebox, and tons of memorabilia/articles on the wall. Plenty of free parking in the area.“

“Great food and vibes all the time!!“

“Dined here on a Saturday night. It was crowded enough as a bar which is great but still had a lot of open seats for our party of 8. Food was reasonably priced around $10 per meal. Not known for anything in particular but for a quick bite, one can do a lot worse! Cheaper than fast food places nowadays and it's good!“

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

“We were apartment hunting and decided to check this out for dinner.
Great ambience and a great place to hang out.
We got a pizza brussel sprouts and a wedge romaine salad.
The pizza was thin crust and had great flavor.
Brussel sprouts was an interesting pairing with cherries and mustard seed...it worked well, I think maybe slightly less of the mustard would have been nice.
The wedge salad is a classic and they did a great job with that.“

“Normally I have no issues and the food is always amazing but today with my carry out order I feel differently. I had the district club and when I took a bite into it I was met with a piece of wood that stuck to the roof of my mouth. It appears the wooden spear was broken into the sandwich after taking a closer look. I would just be aware of this if your sandwich comes with one.“

“The pizza was gross. Soggy canned vegetables, ie. Shrooms. Right? Shroom daddy? Service was normal and slow. Kinda worse because they were dead on a weekend and overstaffed. Every night is a different shtick...Kaorokee, Trivia, music, oh and don't forget about the shared space, so we can cover rent... coming soon. It's a scramble folks. Everyone involved doesn't have the best track record. How many bars have failed, failed again, still suckering/ rob people, failed again, to many lawsuits, all under you. I can't wait for something new. Highly don't recommend. Fat Ds, 20 tap, Sam, Mama's! Anything close is a better option“

“Was told by the door guy it was almost last call went inside and was immediately approached by bartender who come up to me and said last call has already happened and I said ok and started walking towards the bathroom were then he told me to leave right what a arrogant minimum wage Moron“

“I was visiting Indianapolis for a weekend and ended up here two nights. It’s a really good sports bar downtown. Grabbed some late bites here on a Friday night and the nachos were good and the fried pickles were tasty too. Then went back Saturday night to watch all the college football I could stay awake for. The drinks are reasonably priced but most importantly, the service is excellent. The bartenders are incredibly nice even when the places was packed. Have fun with the shots menu- we had green tea shots and Cinnamon Toast Crunch shots
10/10 would recommend if you’re in town for a colts game and need somewhere reliable!“

“When in on Saturday the 24th.had to ask the bartender for silverware and condiments never got the silverware had to eat with my hands,she was more focused on the regulars at the bar than me and my date,saw a gentleman over served of alcohol he was asked to leave too only be sat outside drunk in the extensive heat no water nothing, I've been in the industry for over 20 years and have been coming to this establish that long if this is what you see on Saturday will stick to my Monday and Wednesday day where I'm treated like I belong can only hope the gentleman they sat intoxicated and left in the hot sun is okay.“

“A great place to watch IndyCar races.“

“My kids say they High Velocity has the best ice cream ever and they rate it 5 stars! The pretzels and beer cheese were also delicious! Great snack before the Indians game!“

“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“

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

“This is a great neighborhood bar. Try the fried chicken special, it’s a great deal and delicious. Love this bar!“

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

“Server Odyssey was "Off The Chain" professional!“

“Chelsea the bartender is amazing. I go there every Monday for the special and it’s never a disappointment THANKS“

“Hangar 58 is an absolute gem! The food was incredible, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The variety on the menu has something for everyone, and the drink selection was spot on. The atmosphere was lively but still comfortable, making it a great place to unwind and enjoy a meal. The service was excellent—friendly, fast, and attentive. I’ll definitely be recommending this spot to friends!“

“Drew was an amazing waitress. Informative and friendly. The atmosphere is a tad run down and drab. They have pool tables, mini basketball, golf simulator and a few arcade machines.
Outdoor seating, projector screens and live music looked available but weren't in use while we were there. We got there on a Tuesday from 6-10pm.
Beer options were good but the beer was not cold.“

“I met a date here for some beers, nachos, and conversation. All 3 were great. Jordan the bartender was a total pro.“

“The service provided by Jacob was both amazing and admirable. The receipt reads, “Jacob.” However, I saw a bracelet that reads, “Jake.” The calm under pressure displayed by Jake maintained a positive atmosphere. The restaurant experienced increased foot traffic due to The Queens Concert June 1, 2025. Then the computer system shut down. In the midst of it all Jake went above and beyond to provide excellent customer service. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was electric. It was the Sunday following the Saturday that the Indiana Pacers won the Eastern Conference Championship. If you are in the downtown Indianapolis, Indiana area this restaurant is a great choice! It is where great food and great people meet to maintain a great atmosphere.“

“I'm not a chain/franchise restaurant type of person. I prefer small local places to support the local economy instead of Dine Brands Global, the company that owns Applebee's. Anyways, my buddy told me the $5 appetizers were legit and I owed him lunch, loser! ? So we went. Holy freakin smokes. We got a LOOOT of food for like 40 bucks! And it was surprisingly decent! The bread sticks! ?? It was a good experience and hilarious how much food we got for so cheap.“

“Everything!! Bartenders are top notch !!“

“Definitely 21 & over. They card you at the door upon entry. Basically you order at the bar, tell them where you will be sitting, & they bring it to you. Tons of TV with lots of sports plus horse racing. Let's talk about the menu it's not large, but definitely has something for everyone. Indiana known for Pork Tenderloin Sandwich was a great size & enjoyed the seasoned fries. At the bartender's suggestion I tried the Pork Tenderloin with mashed potatoes, cream gravy, & onion strings. Fantastic! Full bar & enjoyed a really tasty margarita. Would definitely go back.“

“Went to TGI Friday’s on W. 38th St. on Valentines Day. It wasn’t super crowded and we didn’t expect the excellent/personable service, delicious meal & drinks that we received! Grilled chicken sandwich, burger, mac & cheese were all very good. It was a great experience. Will go back!“

“I live in Michigan and have been to Kilroy's 2 different times. Once was in 2018, the other was in October of 24. The first time was amazing, so I had to go again when I was back in town. The pizza sticks are so soft and fresh. The wings are delicious. I would rate them in the top 10 places iv ever got wing in the whole USA. The wings are just the right size. Sometimes, when wings are too large, they are hard to cook fully throughout. The service both times was great. If I lived closer, I would definitely make Kilroy's a monthly stop.“

“Always check out Hooters when I’m in Indianapolis. This place has great food and great service during the week of Gencon. It was really busy when we came in but everything was smooth and food came out quickly. Had the cheese curds which were awesome and the Buffalo chicken tacos. Which were surprisingly good. We will be back next year. Thanks!“

“Always good food. Bartenders and staff are amazing. A++ Brooke“

“Always a good time!! Love the bartender Jen!!“

“I really like this place, it's great! There's live music and the huge tvs make it a great place to come to watch the games. Now that it's football season let's bring it!!
There's a great rotation of bands that visit and that makes it a place to be. The downside is the ? smoke. if you dont abd the garage door are closed is not the best place to be. The food though is absolutely ? delish. And their drinks and the special prices Cannot be beat! No! Hook up here folks! Have a great time for sure yup“

“I've been going to Applebee's for a long time, and it's a great place to just grab a cup of coffee and chat, go sit at the bar for a couple hours with your friends, or have a nice dinner with your family. They cover all the bases. The food is great and so is the service. The carry out service is fast and convenient as well. I recommend it to anyone and I'm always happy I went there when I get the pleasure of going.“

“This is my second time eating at this restaurant! The first time was in 2024! The servers are nice and very attentive! The food, desserts and beverages are affordable and delicious too! I had a great experience and I really enjoyed myself! I will definitely be coming back again soon!“

“Everything started out great! But the moment we had a problem with something it seemed as though the server was unhappy with us. My brother didn’t enjoy his loaded fries and she seemed upset when I asked if I could substitute it for the lava cake (which was amazing by the way) I get that everyone has bad days but she just seemed upset the whole time and I felt like i was being really nice about everything. Other than the service the rest of the food was really good!“

“My wife and I had great service. And enjoyed the food. Thank you, Kyra!“

“Quinton reached higher than expectations. He was amazing and knows what he is talking about. His personality and professionalism is extremely impressive and awesome. As well as the gentleman that has opened the door for every guest that walks in. Applebees has hired amazing people. Thanks to Quinton for being one of the best servers !!!“
