Libertine: what do users think?
Stephanie Reinhardt: Pros: Super cool place. The drinks were good.Cons: It took way to long to get drinks. Drinks were a bit overpriced
Joan Roark: Waiting for you to reopen! We are rooting for you...and look forward to seeing you all! ❣️
ben judkins: In town for the Fringe festival we found this cool downstairs bar that had interesting drinks and a cool vibe. It was my friends birthday that week so we decided to have a small group meet there Sunday night to surprise her. I called ahead 2 days in advance to make sure it was OK and was told they would love to have us. Fast forward to the night, when we got there, the only 2 employees had been told nothing about our group but seemed ready to deal with it. The bartender even asked me for a list of songs she'd like to hear, which blew me away.I was so sure the night would be epic.Within a half hour not only was the stellar customer service gone, they were outright rude to us. Also, they took individual drink orders and then when dropping off the drinks suddenly wouldn't hand them out without a credit card... Mind you, I had been there twice earlier in the week and was never asked to start a tab...So in review, this place has a great atmosphere and a cool vibe and good drinks. But need to figure out how to run a bar...
Cole Hart: If
Matthew Whitt: Amazing bar, drinks, and service!
Ali Danesh: I’m a huge fan of cocktail bars so this place caught our attention immediately. I enjoy the atmosphere with the bar being in the basement it gives off a speakeasy vibe. The menu is unique having inspirational quotes, along with distinctive drinks. Next time I come back to Indy I’ll be stopping by this great establishment!
Gretchen Szostak: The drinks were interesting, but tasted awful and the ambiance was reminiscent of a soulless, millennial dungeon.
Jeremy Garretson: Interesting place to grab a drink and meet new people.
Chloe Hill: great
sébastien payan: Angel's Envy Manhattan. Very good.
Jacob Darling: Awesome place to get a few drinks with friends
Kyle Royse: My favorite place to grab a cocktail in the city. Love this place
April: I have been coming here for about a year and am disappointed to say the quality has dropped dramatically. They seem to be understaffed with long wait times. The bathrooms were pretty gross with a toilet bowl cleaner thrown in the corner, dusty shelf, and stained chair. Overall it seems like they just aren’t properly maintaining things. Cracked booths and worn menus etc.
Lawaco Didier Toe: Place is a nice gateway, really enjoyable experience, big up to the wall dancer
Tapped By Teef: Second time coming here. This experience was way better than the last. Music was great. Very intimatechill setting.
Gav Peters: Loved this place. Having been to cocktail bars around the world, this place stands alongside the best. They slung me one of the top 5 drinks I’ve had in my life
Sean Geiger: Great drinks and friendly bar tenders
April Santiago: Cool atmosphere and strong whisky!
madison: Good stuff but pretty pricey
Matthew M: If the Old Fashioned is good, everything else will be good. The Old Fashioned is good y'all.
Cassandra Lynch: Cute bar. Very vintage vibe

Plat 99: what do users think?
Bianca Gogel: I've always wanted to check out this place and was slightly disappointed. For a Saturday night it was quite dead, not a big deal because I'm not a fan of loud places. Found a spot at the bar, and the bartender was nice and quick. I will say the place could use a deep clean. It didn't smell pleasant and kept getting a whiff of something rotten. Also, many of the light bulbs were out and dusty.
richard haluska: Waited 15 minutes to get a drink. Then waited over an hour still no food. Watched the waitstaff let food sit for 10 minutes and never take it to table. Watched customers ask for coffee up to 3 times without getting any. No one is in charge. Food was taken to wrong tables. There were only 20 customers. Watched several people walk out. After no food and waiting 50 minutes. Watching several others get served and wait staff wondering why people didn't tip on the $4 cup of black coffee about a 10 oz cup. After asking 3 times. Only got 1 star because zero wasn't available.
Jonathan Bryant: Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Drinks were ok but limited on brands and food. Not much on the menu and took a bit. But a good place of you are staying in the hotel.
Dick Bigger: Always have a great time at Alexander
Jacob Bower-Bir: The atmosphere seems inviting from the outside, and it's for a lot going for it in terms of ambiance, but it never really stops feeling like a hotel bar. The service tonight I was there was adequate, and the cocktails were unremarkable.
Vicki Body by Vicki: Amazing drinks and a nice atmosphere with views!
J.R. Smith: My first repose when looking at these reviews was "4.4 stars, you gotta be $#!++ing me." We stopped in on the way to our room after an event at Lucas Oil (Saturday night) to use our 2 complimentary drink tickets for staying at the hotel. It took 20+ minutes to get served at the bar. 1 bar tender on each side, with 1 guy bussing. The bar was full of people, as so was the seating area surrounding the bar. Poorly managed in my opinion. Saturday night, downtown Indy, Lucas Oil event, the should have had bar tenders on each corner. Would have benefited the customers, as well as the pockets of the bar owners and staff. For a premierly priced bar to only have 1 drink well, at the end where she is secluded from the customers, is a bit absurd. The bar tender also kept her bottle opener at the well, yet the beer coolers are located throughout the bar, so she would need to continually run to the well to open the bottles... poor layout. To top it off, our order of a screwdriver with titos was made with pineapple juice... the washes were kept in similar looking bottles in the well, so I'm assuming the bar tendering couldnt easily identify the different juices. Next time we'll just forego that experience and spend the extra time to walk, and go somewhere else for a night cap.
jason crouch: I did not like the back bar. Could not see many options.
Janel Cole: Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Had a great time hanging out.
John Brumleve: Make sure you Plat your a** on a comfy seat because you'll be waiting a while!! With no more than five other customers in the bar it still took longer than 45 minutes after ordering to get food. Probably longer but we had to cancel the order to make an event. Budget 25 minutes for one round of drinks, and frankly 2 hrs for food. Absolutely no sense of urgency or care from staff.
Matt Panfil: Used to love Plat99, but last night went out for a drink for my wife's birthday, and we waited for 45 minutes and finally just left. The bartender told us he'd be with us, then served everyone that came in after. Felt weirdly targeted, also he was super unfriendly and insanely slow.
Brian Hall: Great popcorn
Ryan Geiger: Bartender was inept.
Jay Grieves: A perfectly serviceable hotel bar. They are sometimes staffed such that there's no table service, but it's a small place, so that's not too much of a problem. The small bites aren't great, but if you need something to nibble on, the grilled cheese is pretty good and, indeed, small. If Nesso, the hotel restaurant downstairs, is open, you probably want to go to their bar instead.
Jacob Canada: Drinks were tasty and the staff was awesome
Monica Allen: The servers are great and the atmosphere is very mellowed out.
Summer Blouin: Fun hotel bar. Outdoor balcony. Good drinks. I got a hummingbird. Get the plantains!
Johnny Dangerous: Terrible service. Took 40 mins to get a drink. Bartenders were rude to not only us but to the waitress serving us. Charcuterie board wasn't good and it came with no crackers or silverware. On top of all that everything on the menu is overpriced. This was a Sunday after a Colts game before the Post Malone concert.
William Cherry: Clean and very artsy. Love all the art and the staff are so nice. Convenient to anything you wanna do downtown.
John Bock: The bar manager was great and the bar decor was amazing.
Jacob Hatcher: This used to be one of my favorite places to visit pre-pandemic. They had an extensive craft cocktail menu and always offered truffle popcorn. The service was impeccable and it was the perfect place to have a date night or catch up with friends.We stopped by this evening around 10pm (they are open until 12 on Saturday night) and the place felt like it had been forgotten about. The outside fire pits were off, tables put up, and couch cushions stained. No one greeted us when we came in and had to flag someone down to take our order after waiting for a while. The waitress definitely gave off the impression that we were bothering her by being there.We weren’t offered popcorn and they were closing and cleaning like it was past close, when they were open for another 2 hours. It definitely felt like they didn’t want customers to be there.The drink menu was pitiful and premade. In visits past it was a craft cocktail bar and they took pride in the drinks they served. We had the Platt 99 punch and it was awful.The server left for the night and just left her tables without saying a word; we had to find someone to pay our bill. It was disappointing returning after the pandemic to find this place in such disarray. I’d recommend going elsewhere.

Howl at the Moon Indianapolis: what do users think?
Jerry Hedrick: Great music...good drinks and awesome staff. Had an amazing time, will definitely be back.
Sherri Christopher: Super fun place.
william dake (Bill): Very fun on st Patty's day!
Jennifer Kimbler: This place was a blast! Crowded but that just shows how popular it is! So much fun!
kathy Lehr: So much fun for a bachelorette party! Entertainers are the best!!!!!
Stuart Thaman: Pretty cool spot, very much a typical Howl at the Moon—but that's a good thing. Only complaint was song selection not being as good as other locations. Not enough 90s and emo :)
Scott Bicking: I left my first review 3 years ago, just went to the St Patrick's day party in 2023 and had a blast! Allyson is a great server and we loved the Blarney Bomb!! The crowd is always fun and we usually make a few new friends!!Great music, great food, great employees!!
P D: Decent place, cover singer is super out if key for every song…drinks are good but the music seems to be pretty up and down and overall not worth having to pay a cover to get in.
Linda Parkhurst: So much fun. The ladies and gents that are singing and playing every instrument, have such extreme talent.
Mark Ames: I come here once a year and it's always great. The staff, the prices and the food. The entertainment is typical of a piano bar, and the talent never gives up trying to get the crowd partying.Staying in Indianapolis for the week is like staying at your grandma's house and Howl at the Moon is like sneaking out to your cousin's house for the real party
rebecca alemani: Amazing atmosphere
Kennan Hesler: Place was badass! Celebrated a birthday, it was packed, crowd was lit. Waitress was badass! Shoutout #Kay she even got on stage an killed it! Drinks were badass! Music/band=badass! 12/10 will go back.
Keith Light: Try to go there Saturday, and the bouncer and whoever else he asked said my ID “looks weird”. What does that even mean? I’m 31 freaking years old and had a group of ppl backing me up. They were just discriminating against how I look because I’m not the biggest person in the world and have medical scar on my throat.
cyriac jacob: The energy was great! Highly recommended!
Lestat loera: good place, good atmosphere, good music and good drinks, the only thing I don't like about the place is the space is very crowded, it is difficult to access the bar, find a place, or flirt with someone because of the tightness of the place
Tristan Carlson: Spencer was amazing helped us figure out drinks and prices not only effectively but quick great man love the atmosphere here bartenders made it a great night
Gregory Gondella Jr: Love this place
Stonewallgoalie: Fun place and good drinks.
Kyle Hulsebus: Came here before the Big10 football championship. Good beer selection and the entertainment was great! I'll definitely be coming back!
Michelle McCarty: We had a great time and great service!
Chris Miscevic: A blast to be in. Also recommend the pizza joint next door.

1933 Lounge: what do users think?
Mike Mitchell: Best Food and Service in Indy!
Dr. S. Benjamin Brown Sr.: Wonderful ambience and the food spectacular
William Higgins: Drinks..food..help..atmosphere..all you need for good night out.
J V: Very confusing when you arrive up the elevator, it kinda just spits you out in the middle of the bar. But the drinks were good and the waitress was very sweet. The menu has appetizers on it but if you’re looking for something sweeter, ask for a dessert menu.
Erik Smith: Great cocktails and great atmosphere
Shayla Smith: Perfect hidden gem for a quiet, intimate spot. An amazing date spot with low lighting and untraditional seating options (couches, chair, etc.). The menu matches St. Elmo appetizers so you can’t go wrong with anything. Great cocktails as well, and the service is too notch!
Phil Jones: Everything about this place was on point.
Samuel Wakim: Fun event by Pit and Paddock, Turbo Smart, Advanced Clutch Technology and Turn 14! Lovely place.
Katherine Nicole: I have always had the best time here and Alexandra is the best server/cocktail waitress ever! She is always so great and personable and look forward to her serving me. She’s such a good soul and always smells nice 👍🏻
Todd Crowell: Best vibe in downtown Indianapolis. Sliders are incredible, and great cocktails.
Tim Parham: Cool atmosphere and great service!
George Palacios: I made a reservation and they refuse to serve us because our daughter was with us. I don’t see any where that is 21 and over.
Kent Lewis: The sliders and world famous shrimp cocktail are a must on the bar menu. The cocktails are excellent, but the private barrel selection is the true gem.
Adam Brown: Great intimate atmosphere, despite being busy we had great service. Small plates were excellent for any appetite.
Austin Laster: Food was phenomenal, service was absolutely amazing!! I was very surprised the quality of food was so good. First time try for us and will most definitely be back. If I had to add one complaint, it was a bit noisy, but everyone was just having a good time. 10/10 recommend!!!
Greg Graham: Great ambiance, excellent steak and drinks.
Braedon Kava (VeypMaster): Most amazing food and drinks! Very expensive but worth every penny.
Shawn Carnes (Baba's Share Show): It would be perfect if you could get served the full menu just like at the downstairs bar. Otherwise, amazing ambience and staff. 4.5 stars if I could, but only having the appetizer menu available is a showstopper for me.
Anna Stuchlik: What a cute and fancier place to grab a drink and apps with friends! The atmosphere was soo fun! It is a speak easy, so seating is more limited (just be aware if you have a large group at a busy time)! The espresso martini was great! We had an amazing time celebrating, makes you feel very fancy adult !!
Micki: Great ambiance here. Located upstairs above St. Elmo's Steakhouse, it is accessed from just inside the restaurant. 1933 Lounge has a small menu of appetizers, including St. Elmo's famous shrimp cocktail. The bartender was very good. There's various forms of seating from at the bar to high top tables to couches and chairs. There's also a fireplace. Definitely check it out.
Marcellus davis: Food and service excellent

Burnside Inn: what do users think?
Aunik Paul: Excellent gin mule — live music and games on the upper levels. Friendly bartenders! Quite lively on a Friday
Stephen Heitman: I wasn't there for long, just long enough to listen to the very good piano player play a few tunes. I will go back.
Cathryn Downes: Neat atmosphere and super kind bartender
Natalie Combs: Super cool building! Best place for mules
derrick huesman: Overpriced drinks, sub par old fashioned, and just a really ghastly atmosphere that reminds me of a British pub from the 1800 where the bartender is a doctor who performs surgery in the basement of the pub. Service sucked and I really disliked it. 0/10
Will Bubeck (Wilbehr): Good times and great drinks, bit crowded on a Saturday night, but so is everywhere worth going.
Sonya Neeb: Your website is down
greennemesis: Dive bar. Don't use the restroom and you will be fine
Jessica avila: Love coming here awesome karaoke night on Thursday. Bartender is amazing .

Rozay's Epic Toy Review For You: Awesome service great drinks
Brian Brown: Great place for drinks and music
Jake Talcott: Best bar on Mass Ave. Great Mules, very helpful and knowledgeable staff, live music often and karaoke Thursday nights

Aaron Reed: Not much room to move. Lots of hallways. Good service though.
Bety Castro: Seriously the best of all time. I’m moving to Indy solely to go every day. They have three floors (including a pool table) and I discovered I actually love mules. Thank you Burnside Inn.
Scott Mccolley: Just coolest place, great history,decor, and hospitality.... Do 🛑 here and explore all 3 levels.Enjoy!!!
Javier Meroño Escudero: Para ir cada fin de semana
Jake Landgraf: Best Indy bar. Hands down

Tomlinson Tap Room: what do users think?
A Hahn: What a cool location! They offer a nice selection of beers, both draft and bottled. Staff working was friendly and offered great recommendations for food around the downtown area.
Chris Harrell: Best Hoosier - Indiana taproom north of Pearl Street TapHouse (Jefferonsville,In) and Casey will help guide you through their well curated tap selection.
John Braddock: Fun, great beer selection
Dave McGrath: Best setting to have an ale in the Hoosier State
Lee Elm: Great selection of taps, something for everybody. When we went there was a Three Floyd's BA stout and a Mashcraft BA barleywine.
Thomas Kujawa: Decent selection, fair price. Enjoy the central location and accessibility.
Gage Maness: Awesome spot to come and unwind with the freshest beers on tap!!! I will be back😁
Lisi: It was pretty hard to find it, but we can blame the construction. The staff is pretty nice and effective. The beer is awesome.
Mike Hause: Matt is the best at curating a phenomenal lineup of all Indiana beer, wine, cider, spirits!Hidden gem in Indy. If you're a beer nerd it is a must stop.
Derek Hughes: Great beer! Nice little venue downtown!
T S: A must visit in a cool setting for trying a wide array of Indiana beer. Get food from one of the many vendors in the market and being it upstairs to enjoy with a Hoosier beer.
JP Armstrong: Had a lot of fun. They had a very good selection of different beers, and a interesting place to hang out and talk with friends at the City Market after hours.
Amy Robert: Lob=stah roll was great an haddock reminded us of Massachusetts yumm
Jake Lazarus: Always have one of the best selections of local beer around, and the most reasonable prices as well.
Steven Johnson: Tomlinson is one of the best, somewhat hidden, beer drinking gems in Indianapolis. A must visit for beer aficionados looking for the best of Indiana beers, all in one place.
Austin Graff: Tomlinson Tap Room is a craft beer spot inside the old city market in downtown Indy. It's on the second floor with bar seating and plenty of tables nearby to look down on the market on the first floor.Although their beer list is impressive, I'm not a beer guy so I opted for a local sour ale and was impressed. Their drinks are on point.What is not on point is their food. I ordered a cheese and break dish and it was not very good at all. Not the worst, but below meh.Regardless, this spot is GREAT for a happy hour after work or a break from shopping in the market.
George Korakakis: Great craft beer selection!
Brandon Walker: Always has a great selection of local and hard to find craft beers, and lots of food options surrounding it in the City Market.
Trevor Overturf (OverturfTruth): The kitchen on 3/6/19 was amazing all of the food was cooked perfectly and presented well. Good on ya!!! For the fries exquisite..Also the hygiene was on point to a T. Thank you so much for a great experience. 1420-1530 3/6/19
Eddie Willis-Blunt: Yummy options
Chad: Always a great stop to make for craft beer. All Indiana taps really let's you get a taste of the region and staff is always friendly and helpful

Zoë Vergis: our bartender sunshine was amazing! we received amazing service and the drinks were amazing. I really appreciate the effort made to ensure a good experience at the club. Big shoutout to Sunshine!!
Andrew Peters: Assaulted by guards and told I was too light skinned to be inside.
Amanda Torres: Visited from Florida and drinks taste like straight juice. They gave you a small cup for the price they charge.. The floors were filthy and sticky.. 3 fights broke out and I was impressed on how fast the security guards handled the fights but other than that I don't think I could return... More for spring breakers/ college kids type of crowd.
Brian Alexander: Its was ok but nothing impressive. Was really put off by how sticky the floor was
Eugene Barker: Love this place! Great drink specials! Great bartenders!
Ethan Cornwell: Not worth the price. Wayyy to expensive for a red Bull vodka and a jack and coke.
Zach Tromley: Skybar is thee most lit bar in indy
Candy Dossett: Weren't many people, but was nice
Dodi Moncrief: Need better parking options
Andrea Nobbe: Over crowded and over priced.. will not be going there anymore!

Jeff Merchant: Bought 4 beers... 2 were 4 months expired other 2 were 10 months expired
B “Bee”: I always have fun here.
Tim Tilford: Glow room is the best! 3rd floor all the way in the back.
Zackary Prince: Bright lights. Big City.A killer sound system with a great light show. They often have dancers on the stage which makes it more fun.The staff are friendly and deal with all the drama in stride.I'm usually there on Saturday night dancing my ass off.
Adam A: 🍸🍸🎼🎼🎼🎵🎶🎶🎵
telly rose: Was going to go to eat and watch a show there but they cancelled the show an hour before show time
Chablis Harris: This place is by far the filthiest building I've ever been to in my entire life! The service was horrible the waitresses were unknowledgeable the place was overcrowded for the event that was happening. There were cockroaches crawling on the walls the ceiling is covered in absolute filth and dust just completely horrific I ordered a drink and there was something floating in My Cup. So I purchase the bottle to save some drama and the waitress couldn't even get that right. After waiting a half an hour I finally get my bottle with no cops no ice so I just looked at this lady like she was crazy. Then she brings me cold chicken that we had ordered 45 minutes ago when we ordered the bottle and she still didn't bring any cups or ice. The whole experience was absolutely horrible I'll never go back there
tuthnolie13: I paid 25 $ an it wasn't a good show I couldn't see anything an there jello shots tasted like Mike they was made with molded water....yuck

Alley Cat Lounge: what do users think?
Ken Flanagan: Friendly staff. Great steaks cooked to perfection. Great atmosphere.
DIANE O'Connell: The bar tenders are the best.. Great ambiance. Warm and friendly with lots of character.Most recently a friend and I went for the Thursday night steak special. Our wait staff was excellent. The food was excellent and after we went to the bar to see James our favorite bar tender.
Brett Rathmell: The Broad Ripple icon , now expanded so you can chose from the old dive bar & pool room , regular bar or upscale bar all with the same good pub food choices from the same kitchen.
Melissa Sparks: Absolutely loved this bar! Relaxed atmosphere, great service and very good food. We had the fish and St. Patrick's Day special of corned beef and they were both worth going back for. Loved our bar tender!
Travis Claywell: Staff have been remarkably indifferent to my presence both times I went. VERY clean place though. Idk about the food because no one’s ever made mention of a menu when I went, but the kitchen looks very clean and organized.
Paulette Pucciarelli: So we went to vogue the venue before hand and ran into the alley cat. I believe our bartender's name was John. We sat at the front bar as there were two. There is also a lot of seating available. It was late and pretty slow but as the concert ended it built a bit of a crowd. The bartender was nice enough to stay open while we ordered anything fried to eat because the kitchen at that time only did fried and drinks. They had your basic drink selection, beer on tap, shots, mixed drinks etc. They have music you can pick from the app on your phone or from the box itself. Very low key good friendly bar. I enjoyed it. Great place to stop in after the venue a block away. Great location I believe it was street parking. Would recommend for a local bar.
Mu Krug: Good food at good prices. Bartender James, said he was bat manager, was exceptionally rude when asked for a receipt. Told him I had not been made to "Run a tab" the last 5 times we were there. Sooooo rude. Othrr bartender Mo very nice and accommodating.
Lisa Snyder: Good was great...our bartender Matt was excellent...after his shift he went to the back bar where we got corned been n cabbage and had another great bartender...with a rockin mohawk! We will be back! Happy St Patrick's Day!
jason hensel: Awesome place for a drink and a bite! Their burgers are phenomenal!
Jason Reinking: Good servers and great food. Friendly place
Alicia Ennis: AWESOME.
dc rolands: I’m all for places that are off the beaten path, but more than 50 dollars later for food that’s okay and drinks, no thanks. Oh and bring cash because you’ll be charged a fee for using your card. That’s something small-town joints would do, not in Broad Ripple, in a city of almost a million people!
Theresa King: Strong drinks… Food menu: kool aid no sugar, cereal, no milk, ham, no burger… 🤣 get it together! 😌
A T: Always a favorite!
Ezra Todd Shelton: Food is great. Drinks are good,!!
A2m D9: Vibe is horrible bar tenders energy plain horrible food bland
W.T. S.: Cool divey hole in the wall bar off an alley, cool vibe, cheap drinks.
Macie Miller: It’s so CLEAN here. 10/10
JD: Saw a guy come in with his service animal and after 10-20 minutes staff and the security kicked out the guy for his service animal. Very rude then banned him from coming back.
Nancy Andi: Loved my first visit and excited to visit more often. Great bartenders, great venue, delicious food, and had a blast playing pool!
Brian Tschuor: Best bar in the city. Bartenders are friendly and personable. And if you are looking for good food in the area The Cat is always a good choice

16-Bit Bar+Arcade: what do users think?
Bora C: Great cocktails, arcade games, some very kind employees but it's "managed/owned" by someone who might try and ruin your night just because
Nerd Reaper: Great games, Delicious drinks, fantastic staff. A fun night out.
Jenna Wertman: Had a lovely time drinking sunny D seltzers and playing pac-man! As with any industrial-look interior, it can be a little loud inside but this place is really fun. The variety of arcade games is great and the little tables everywhere to set drinks are a nice touch. The cocktails were fun and the beer list seemed to have a lot of varieties.
william dake (Bill): This place is always amazing
Jessica Kahn: Good drinks, fun games. No Star Trek paraphernalia but I forgive them 3
Michael: A free arcade with lots of space and a lot of drinks on tap. Worth a quick trip if you're looking to pass some time!
Savannah Montgomery: Friendly staff, tons of games to choose from and good drinks!
Amie Murphy: Yummy.drinks, free arcade games, lots of other kinds of games, disappointed there was no pool tables but the speciality drinks are worth it by themselves! I had the Carrie fisher- blue drink, and my friend had something peach lol I don't remember but it was yummy also!
Iodean Allen: So fun! Will come back again.
Mariluz Soto: Love this place so many fun old school games to play, as long as you buy a drink (accept the awesome pinball machines). Bartenders there are sweet and are ready to recommend a drink to your tasting. Clean comfortable and never overly full. It was such a fun experience.
Josie Pipkin: I had such a great experience my last time at 16-bit. The service was perfect due to our bartender Anthony!!!
Ryan Rotundo: Really unique place overall, with some creative Cocktails. The bartenders and other staff were a joy to talk to and the vibe was great. Unfortunately a good amount of the arcade machines were unplayable due to old age, and it was strange having to pay to play the pinball machines when all of the other machines were free.
Alex Braxton: It's all fun and games
Grace Needler: Fun times were had.
DJ Y2J: Way better than it used to be 2 years ago. Staff super friendly
Eli Tyler: Loved the drinks and the throw back to playing 64 bit arcade games! I'll be sure to bring cash to get quarters so I can play more pinball next time. Great spot to hang out and have fun, lovely atmosphere.
Leo Warbington: I’ve only been there once but it was definitely a great experience for my girlfriend and I. Fun games, great music, and drinks were really good. Shoutout to the bartender Anthony, he made some amazing drinks and displayed great customer service. I also noticed his ability to move swiftly and get everyone their drinks in a timely manner despite the traffic they had in there, very professional young man. I definitely recommend 16-bit for anyone who just wants to have a good time with friends, acquaintances, etc. 5-star for sure.
T Sharp: Shout out to Anthony the bartender for being so nice and pleasant. Great atmosphere will definitely be going back
iWriteEther iWriteEther: My husband & I enjoyed ourselves. The drinks were amazing, the old school games brought the kid in us out, intimate spots upstairs of your socially awkward like us but overall the vibe was great and we will return.
Johnathan Coleman: Great service, amazing atmosphere, perfect addition to downtown indy nightlife!
matthew murdock: One of the best places to go with friends to just drink and play arcade games. The atmosphere is great and the people are nice by far one of the best bars around Indy.

Strange Bird: what do users think?
Nicki Rough: This place has the cutest island vibe, the drinks were absolutely phenomenal, and I would seriously recommend anything on the menu! The waiter walked us through all the ramen options without even having to ask, the gyoza which were crispy and just the perfect level of spicy, the waygu stew is hearty and wonderful, and the painkiller tres leches is a cake version of the drink. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting an island escape for the evening. So good!!
Lisa Crandall: Food is wonderful, the bartenders are absolutely delightful. Highly recommend, we had a great time.
Judy Jones: Delicious...relaxing
Jessica Peveler: Trendy local place with ramen, oysters, and tiki style drinks
Bailey Roman: It was the best ramen I have ever had. The Gyoza was so crispy and savory. Fantastic drinks and dessert. Staff was friendly and took the time to explain menu items. Drove over an hour specifically to visit this place. Would happily make the drive again. 🙌 (Featured in photos Drinks: Painkiller & Mai Tai; Food: Pain Killer Tres Leches Cake & Tantanmen)
Chris Stultz: Great cocktails and ramen!
jeevana maddineni: The bowl of Ramen at Shoyu Shop goes beyond, earning a “Best of the Best” tag. I love ramen and I have been to different places in MidWest for nearly 3 years (and counting), Kyle managed to snag the trifecta of excellent broth, chashu, and notably, freshly house-made noodles. It’s a testament to the shop’s hard work, the employees are amazing, and also reflects Kyle's dedication to his craft and his constant innovation, looking for new dishes every season to try or things to improve.
Paul Williams: What a pleasant surprise! We were looking for Ramen and got so much more! Rob was a big help in explaining about the Caipirinha drink and the different dishes.
Kumud Joshi: Great ambience and service… the ramen noodles, despite being delicious were very salty and I struggled with my dish.
JustFollow Kenya (Mswhatleysworld): Nice bar in south Irvington neighborhood. The bar offers ramen noodles 🍜.
Faye Abney: Love the staff and the drinks!
Twon Is Twon: 5 stars for the ramen- best in Indy, noodles are amazing, broth is rich, great options for variety. I've only had a handful of mixed drinks, tiki stuff us not my thing, I've tried a couple deserts, they were above average but not exceptional. I come here for amazing ramen only, if they did not have the ramen I wouldn't have much interest. Pricing for ramen is good for the price, expect around $18/bowl.
Lindsey Briones: Strange Bird was fantastic! The decor was so cool and really gave off a specific vibe. We had different kinds of tasty ramen. Some of the best I’ve had since moving from NYC. The drinks were creative and tasty. There was a nice selection of of mocktails too. I cannot wait to come back. It great for a friend group to hang out but even intimate for a fun date night.
megan armstrong: Ramen was 🔥
Kristi B.: Drinks were outstanding, best ramen I have had in Indy, server was very knowledgeable, and helped us to customize to get exactly what we wanted. Will most definitely be back.
Sarah Molen: Really yummy! The server was so nice and also friendly to my one year old.
Tim Foster: Fun place. Great oysters, ramen, and service.
ashley givens: Always an amazing experience! Food is delicious and nice atmosphere.
Kenny Hunter: Best ramen in Indiana hands down. The bar service was absolutely amazing and the oysters taste fresh as could be. The desserts shouldn’t be skipped either.
Jama Bradfield: Drinks were mostly ice but tasted great. Bit pricey for size, tho- like more expensive than places we've been in Chicago, Seattle and New York. The food was very salty. Our server was super awesome and very helpful with all questions. We were excited when we got a table in an hour instead of the two hours we'd been told. It was very clean. They were great about seating us in a way we could all chat and share appetizers. The parking lot had a spot when we arrived, but I know most of our group had to park along the streets nearby and walk. Not far, tho. Overall, ok.
Lindsay Lee Schmidt: Great drinks, service, and atmosphere! Truly a special place in the heart of Irvington.
