43 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!“

“I absolutely love you guys. 5 stars! My only suggestion is to make both bathrooms gender neutral! As a man I’ve probably peed in the woman’s restroom more than the men’s. Whatever’s available! It’s 2026 let it slide yalls. Love you!“

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Great food and vibes all the time!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“A great place to watch IndyCar races.“

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

“Great place for table tennis, darts, billiards, trivia and karaoke. My girlfriend and i go there every Monday that I'm town. We always have a good time. Also the bar top itself is really neat how they encased hard copy tickets from a bunch of legendary concerts 🙌“

“Food is very well made, came out hot and fresh both times I visited this past weekend. Portions are not ridiculous for the pricing. The bread sticks are FANTASTIC, I highly recommend getting some when you go. 21+ only and they DO CHECK IDs so bear that in mind.“

“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!“

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

“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“

“We recently had our 30 Year HOOTER Girl reunion there and everything was fantastic ! Our server was the bomb !! The food was hot and delicious! Thank you so much for making us feel like we were 25 again !! HOOTER GIRLS 4-EVER 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡“

“Everything!! Bartenders are top notch !!“

“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!!!“

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

“Ashley D was amazing I told her I had fish allergies and not only she make sure I didn't order anything that had the possibility of cross contamination but she gave me options for sides that were normally not options but because of my allergies and my limitations she want to make sure I was happy and this did make me happy.“

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

“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“

“Really great experience! Recommend coming back again! I had my girlfriend Amber Green Section and she does the phenomenal service everytime I come in and to everyone else! Her communication are excellent! She always have a positive attitude towards everyone that comes in.“

“Good music, nice vibe, sometimes or most times packed! The food is good, but not great (the meat from my burger was served very well done). My wife’s pulled pork was a better. Beer wasn’t very cold served cold. I remember my table wasn’t exactly clean though, cause on the surface was a bit wet and sticky.“

“If you are looking for a go-to spot in Indianapolis with great food and genuinely friendly service, Trader's Mill Grill & Bar deserves a spot on your list. Every time I walk in, the staff makes you feel welcome right away. They are attentive, helpful, and the kind of people who make the experience worth coming back for.

The food is the real standout here. The tenderloin is excellent, and the buffalo coins are a must-order. Do yourself a favor and ask for the spicy ranch dipping sauce alongside them. It is the kind of addition that takes the whole plate to another level. Whether you are stopping in for a casual lunch or a night out, the menu delivers.

The atmosphere is exactly what you expect from a solid bar and grill in Indianapolis. It is laid back, comfortable, and full of character. Like any true bar setting, there are moments where the space could use a little extra attention on cleanliness, but that is a minor note in an otherwise great experience.

Trader's Mill Grill & Bar checks the boxes for good food, cold drinks, and people who genuinely care about taking care of you. If you are in the Indianapolis area and searching for a reliable neighborhood bar and grill, this is a place worth your time.“

“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.“

“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.“

“If your a crafting group or game group, I highly recommend this place on Tuesday for Happy Hour- 4:00pm, they have their $3 cheeseburger and $1.25 for fries for a early dinner. And there are ton of tables available for crafting or playing games at, as most sit at the bar until it gets busier around 7pm.“

“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.“

“Our food was overcooked but service was fantastic. When short staffed, Nia went the extra mile to make sure we had a great experience despite receiving an overcooked steak.
Thank you to management for having wonderful people like Nia on their team.“

“Visit was great Did not know about that all you can eat boneless wings, riblets, and shrimp experience was great Favour was a great waitress she was very tentative when it came to drink and asking for more refills with all you can eat especially at 11 at night.“

“We had a great visit to Punch Bowl Social as a family... the kids enjoyed all of the entertainment options while the adults enjoyed the signature punch bowl. Service was lackluster but the entire vibe of this venue made up for it. Our entrees came quickly and the presentation was insta worthy, the food reviews were varied in our group with the general consensus being this is again something that could be improved. Overall, we felt the value was excellent and would definitely return when back in Indy.“

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

“Guys..!! Not sure why and how 1,868 people on an average rating of this place was 3.9. We were helped by Cameron(at the table) and Doug(in the kitchen). They are the rockstars and the absolute best of what they do. They deserve no less than 5 stars (with 5 being the max) in all the available categories.Thank you both for making us smile, being such great hosts, and humble people. You are the BEST...!!“
