Awesome open air bar and deli in downtown Indy. Fantastic cheeseburgers and hot dogs. The best fries in all of Indiana, maybe in the U.S. of A. Great wait staff, cool eclectic sports, and comic memorabilia on the walls.

Amazing restaurant that has an amazing beer line up and food menu. We got the burger, melt and loaded fries and a few local brews and the food was hot, fresh, and great quality. The service was nice and made sure to give good recommendations for their beer selection. They try to only buy beers within Indiana or the local states surrounding Indiana. The place has seating indoors and outdoors and has a cool bar dive ambiance. I would go here again anytime I’m in the area!

This place is lit. Great vibe. Chicago oriented. I was in town for the night but hope to return with friends for an even better time. Has outdoor seating, which is covered. Oh and the food? Good stuff. I'm not sure if they are the best fries. But they are tasty hot. Not so much if you let them get cold. My sandwich was the best BLT I've had. But it was my first. Good stuff all the way around. They could spruce the place up with some Purdue stuff though.
