People coming and going you'll hear everyone say "Goodbye" when ya leave. Kinda got the whole "Cheers Bar Vibe", your first visit you leave a friend. This bar has amazing service, the bartenders are all seasoned and friendly, bar is quaintly sized and feels like a warm hug. My favorite bar on the Southside! If you like to play pull-tabs they have you covered, a wonderful Touch Tunes jukebox that seems to always be playing the best music, and a fun Golden T golfing/bowling machine that has several different games to play in case you get ants in your pants! If you haven't visited this place yet you better make it a point! You will not be disappointed!!!!

I went recently and saw a band in the patio area. It's a…read morenice quaint and clean bar / pub. We had some appetizers / snack food and it was decent. I will try some of their other food offerings in the future if and when I go back. The reviews on their other food ex: sandwiches etc are highly favorable. The staff was sharp, super attentive, active and hard working. I really liked the decor. I especially liked all the signs in the women's bathroom. When I go next time, I might contribute one if they have space on the wall. It's a laid back place to hang out and that's all good with me.

My brother and I were shopping nearby and he suggested this place for lunch. I wasn't sure since…read moreit's a little unassuming from the outside but they actually have a pretty good amount of options to choose from, from pizza to burgers to salads. I had the breaded tenderloin which was pretty good. They also have the option to add an extra bun for a few extra dollars which I loved. The tenderloin was pretty good-sized and came with a heaping helping of fries (upgraded from potato chips). The fries came from frozen but they added their own seasoning blend so they were pretty good. My brother had a burger and said it was decent. When we came in, they were putting up holiday decorations to get ready for an upcoming holiday party. We were immediately greeted when we came in the door and it seems like they have a good amount of regular customers. It definitely seemed like a welcoming, local joint. It is on the smaller side on the inside (maybe 5 or 6 tables in addition to bar seating), but they had a lot of seating outside as well.

There were two menu items that we inquired about the ingredients and if they were gluten free. The server asked the cook and we were told they were gluten free.

This could end up being a deadly mistake. Think twice if you have food allergies before dining here.

Never having eaten here, this location was picked from Yelp…read more We have Southside friends. We trade sides of town for a monthly lunch or dinner No one knew where to go so I took the reins. What a great place, busy but not too busy to say hello as we walked in. Our friends were already seated and our waitress was asking us for a drink order as soon as we sat down. Yea The place was packed with all kinds of people, construction workers, business people everyone was polite and welcoming from staff to customers The place doesn't look real great on the outside but the minute you walk in you know you are in the right place. Old pictures, old stuff everywhere you could spend a day just looking at Indianapolis in the past. The food was served hot and delicious. I had a 1/4 pound chili dog, my husband had a double burger patties were fresh and big. My friend had steak tips, tuff but sauce served in was delicious and lastly my friend had a tenderloin and slaw. The slaw look like a dinner salad it was so big. We talked for over 2 hours and were never interrupted. Would I go back, you betcha
