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“

“Very disappointing experience at Buffalo Wild Wings.

We waited 40 minutes just to place our order, even though there were only about four tables. Our drinks were never refilled unless we asked.

The reason for the slow service seemed to be that our waitress was trying to eat her lunch while serving tables, which felt unfair both for us as customers and for her as an employee.

To make things worse, the fries we ordered had a hair in them, and when we told the staff, they simply ignored it.

We used to come here when we wanted something quick and simple, but after this experience we won’t be coming back.“

“Great food & wonderful service by Kaylee !“

“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.“

“Great service, nice atmosphere, and delicious drinks!“

“The Ocarina of Fries! I’ve never tasted anything like this in my life of dining. Waffle Sweet potato fries with cinnamon and Brown sugar, Cream cheese sauce topped w/ Chives! OMGOODNESS!!! Then The Perfect Pizza totally lived up to its name. Oven baked Flatbread, marinara from the gods, old world pepperoni, fresh mozzarella and peppadew peppers. I added chorizo. Deeeeeeeeelicious! Soooo good!“

“Great new place to eat, grab a beer, watch a game. Super friendly bartender Byron! Highly recommended“

“Interesting little place. Dined outdoors here for lunch, and it had a great vibe. Indoor and outdoor dining, but they do not offer table service. You order your food and drinks from the bar. Rock solid breaded tenderloin! Very nicely seasoned and cooked perfectly. All the toppings were fresh, and the pickles tasted like they were locally sourced. They had a smoker going outside when I walked up, and it smelled fantastic! Would definitely come back here again.“

“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!“

“Been staying at the iron works hotel a lot due to having to be in Indy a lot lately. This place is basically attached to the hotel. We have had the pizza, burgers, black bean burger and beers. I did see a review their their soda is not the best and i will agree with that we couldn’t even drink it so not sure what’s up with that but we have been back so much because everything else is great. We will be back again at the end of the month and plan on going back. They were out of 4 packs of beer the last time to go and i was wondering why they couldn’t just sell 4 cans separately but hopefully they have them back in stock.“

“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.“

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

“Great food and vibes all the time!!“

“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.“

“Single best bar / restaurant / music I've ever been to I had a rare steak dinner for under $15 it was down in under 15 minutes and it was one of the tastiest steaks I've ever had the people were really nice spent less than $10 had a few beers played a couple games of pool. I really recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to eat drink dance or play pool it's pretty much got everything and everyone in there is really nice“

“This is a very busy sports bar. We rolled in around 10:30 pm and they were slammed still. It becomes 21+ with security on the door. You seat yourself at this point. The waitstaff seemed a little over whelmed. It took 20 minutes to get drinks and food in. They bussing tables clear but not right away so it was just kinda busy and cluttered looking. The crowd grew by the way, later it got the more people showed up. The burger and cheese curds were delicious and a good size portions. I am sure with normal staffing and a great sports day vibe this place would get all five stars, but tonight it was just a four.“

“Great atmosphere and very nice staff. Shelby St feels very welcoming when you come in. Definitely a hidden gem on the Southside.“

“A great place to watch IndyCar races.“

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

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

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

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

“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“

“Great food, great service! Ethan was on the ball with our group of 20+ people!Perfect place to watch the games!!! Will definitely come back again thanks for the recommendation Monica!!!“

“I sat at the bar. Knew I was gonna get a steak, the bartender watched me sit down she had a whopping 3 people at the bar. Now I know why. She was typing on her phone and made no attempt to do anything else long enough, I was about to go ask if I could just have a table. As I turned around to leave, she asks can I help you. Mind you she is still at the other end of the bar no reason to walk any closer. I said well I thought I would have a beer and order some food are you not open yet? Mind you it's about 5:10pm. I am here all week and it's right across from the hotel. Well that answered that somewhere else in town will get my business this week.“

“Our server, Devon, was absolutely amazing! My buddies and I frequent here and this is our second time with Devon. He is on top of everything! Never stuck waiting on a refill and he is incredibly friendly. Well done, Devon! We will be sure to come back!“

“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!“

“Mondays is a chill vibe. Everyone is relaxing and enjoying from what I see. Bri already knows what I want before I even sit down Five out of five“

“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.“

“Great food and even better atmosphere. You won’t find a better staff. If you are looking for a good meal and a cold beer this is the spot! Jarod and his team go out of their way to create a good experience for each customer whether it’s your first time or you’ve been coming for years.“

“Always conscious staff that keeps up with the demand of customers. Great food and the monthly stuffed breadsticks are always something we look out for. The Quesa Birria ones last month were exceptionally delicious. We hope they bring them back!!“

“Great experience at Hooters Indianapolis Downtown! Friendly and attentive service, good food, relaxed atmosphere, and a really nice vibe. The team was welcoming and made the visit enjoyable. Definitely a great spot to stop by when you’re in downtown Indianapolis. Would happily come back!“

“Courtland showed us the different low top tables inside and out so we could choose the safest for our little ones. He told us his favorite meals and other customer favorites. The food was very good. Conveniently located in our hotel. Good service and food. Will eat here again.“

“It's a good college type bar in the broad ripple area. Good food... had some great service. It doesn't really stand out as a go to bar. There are several better ones in the area. However you won't be disappointed if you here.“

“Amazing service. Clean restaurant. Apparently one of the slowest Applebee's in the state of Indiana. I would go back again.

Edit. A timely response from the owner thanking me for me review!! Wow! This is an owner who pays attention!!“

“Wow!!!! The service we received here was AWESOME!!!! Bailey are bartender was on it!!!! Great drinks!!! Food was really good too. Thanks to whole Brothers crew for a great experience!!! Highly recommend to anyone visiting Indy to visit Brothers“

“I only came here to say. I got the new crispy spicy mustard chicken sandwich with waffle fries. And it was amazing! Only thing I can say is there’s not much advertising on those chicken sandwiches. If I didn’t go online to check the menu I would not have ordered it. I definitely will be telling folks about it.“

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

“It's was good. Service wasn't great, but food and atmosphere was neat. We came in an hour before closing, never brought sweet tea, and then was told they didn't have any, and then we asked for desert, 5 min before closing and they told us kitchen was closed.“

“I just want to thank Daniel for his kindness and great customer care! Sometimes people lack compassion, especially after a long day.But last night you truly exceeded my expectations.To some, my complaint may have seemed like, “She’s just spoiled, just eat it,” but you understood my concern and never once made me feel like I was being unreasonable. I truly appreciate your patience, kindness, and willingness to make the situation right.The wedges I ate were perfect, and the kids enjoyed their chicken—they said it was the best they had! Thank you again for going above and beyond“
