Best Chill Out Terraces In Indianapolis Near Me

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.

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
