42 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“

“Just left Buffalo Wild Wings in Indianapolis and whewww—this visit was 🔥 in every way! My husband ordered the Loaded Bacon Tots and they were next-level bussin’! Cheesy, crispy, and packed with smoky bacon—definitely a must-try starter. 🧀🥓 My son went ALL IN and got the hottest wings on the menu. 🌶️ When I say his face turned red but he refused to quit—IYKYK 😭🔥
This spot is not only perfect for catching the game, but also family-friendly with plenty of seating, fast service, and a fun vibe. Whether you're craving wings, cold drinks, or fire appetizers, Buffalo Wild Wings always delivers. Highly recommend trying their blazin' sauce if you're feeling brave! 💪🏽

“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.“

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

“Great food and vibes all the time!!“

“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.“

“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“

“Great place to pop in and have a few drinks before a game. Came in before a Pacers playoff game about 4+ hours before game time. It was mostly full, but quiet. About 2 hours later the place was packed and you could really feel the energy building. Knicks fans even came in and the folks were pretty polite to the outsiders. #MidwestNice

Beer selection was standard stuff, nothing out of the ordinary. Food wasn't bad, just not anything to write home about. The French Dip was good. My wife commented that it was much more tender than many French dips she has had at other places.“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great atmosphere, great food, fun staff!“

“Kilroy’s Famous Stuffed Breadsticks absolutely lived up to the hype! I ordered the pepperoni and mozzarella stuffed breadsticks, and they were incredible four huge, golden brown breadsticks rolled from fresh pizza dough and filled with gooey, melted cheese and savory pepperoni. The marinara and cheese sauces on the side were the perfect finishing touch. Every bite was warm, flavorful, and comforting. A friend recommended Kilroy’s, and I’m so glad they did! I also had a delicious Caesar salad that was crisp and refreshing, plus a Crystal Blue Long Island that paired perfectly with the meal. The atmosphere was lively, the staff was friendly, and the service was fast. Everything came out hot and fresh. Kilroy’s has definitely earned a spot on my favorites list five stars all the way!“

“The Mousetrap is that great “Cheers-type” neighborhood bar where everyone really does know your name. The crowd is friendly, the atmosphere is laid-back, and it’s the perfect place to unwind after work or catch up with friends. I’ve heard the food is really good too. Definitely planning to try it next time!“

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

“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!“

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

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

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

“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“

“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“

“Everything!! Bartenders are top notch !!“

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

“I finally made it to Kilroy's. It was good. My Salmon BLT was delicious (I had it without the bacon) and the broccolini was tasty. My friend had the stuffed breadsticks and southwest eggrolls. Kilroy's is a bar feel. During the time of day we went it wasn't busy but we did have to pay for parking.“

“A dying breed of restaurants where food and atmosphere once used to be exciting. These days it lacks customers and most of the time it’s empty. This particular location is good with some nice service. Food can be better and the bar tenders need some training over proper mixing of drinks. That said, overall a good place to pass some time with friends.“

“What an incredible unexpected gem! We arrived just to have a drink or two, but decided to try the food. Food was great pub food and just what we needed. The owner,Nicole is there, involved and such a great person. To top it off, tons of games for entertainment and live music.
If you are in this area and don't come here, you are missing out!!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I had such an extraordinary experience in Brothers downtown Indianapolis. A customer service like no other, I have never felt more seen by a wonderful group of managers, bartenders and the Crown Jewel Dawson my server. My family will come here for generations to come.“

“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.“

“Vegetarian options: There is an impossible burger and salads you can ask to be vegetarian. Your best bet is getting apps because they are delicious!

Parking: Broad ripple has a lot of construction currently. So expect to have to park about a 5 min walk away“

“Stopped to have dinner here around 8 pm on Sunday. Wasn't to busy like most Avon restaurants. Didn't have to wait in line. Food was great especially considering the slightly lower cost compared to others. Dining area as well as bathrooms were clean. And service was great. 5 out of 5 would recommend.“

“The guy waiter with dreads seemed jittery and rushed!! It wasn't busy at all!! He had to retake our order 3 times. The first time he said he accidentally erased our order. The 3rd time im not sure. The queso dip was thick and dark orange-ish yellow not a light yellow and thin like I'm used to. The chicken was the bomb the brussels sprouts with a bomb the cauliflower was a bomb. “

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