    Hand breaded tenderloin
    Joan L.

    Stopped here when we were looking for something to a little different to eat on the cheap. I had heard they had great salads and hubby and I were in the neighborhood so gave it a try. Menu is limited and is typical bar food. The tenderloin I ordered would have been better if not so salty. I gave up half way through because it was just so salty. I am not dinging them for it because I know they probably season the flour they dip the tenderloin in and, I know from previous experience that as the evening goes on-if you don't add more flour your mix, the tenderloin picks up more flour than the seasoning in the mix and eventually the seasoning becomes super concentrated. For that reason, I am willing to give them a pass and try the tenderloin one more time. Hubby had a burger which appeared to be a smash burger and looked really appetizing! More importantly, the atmosphere was really fun. We participated in their music by the decade BINGO game with all the patrons. Hubby won one game so dinner was practically free. If you are looking for inexpensive bar food and don't care about an extensive menu, this is a great option. I would happily eat here again. The atmosphere make it a place I'd be excited to go back to!

    Haven't been here since I went day drinking with my person. I worked a long hard ass day and wanted a drink and something to eat. I got the twice baked potato and it sure looked amazing however it is cold! So sad but also know not to get it again. I got a captain and coke & much needed Jager and a pssst of bomb shot. Just Makes me miss my favorite bartender, Lina (works at Robbys) , bc so far she is the best bartender hands down and can make a drink worth it's price. Kinda of bummed even more so.. the bartender here, shawna (I think) is really sweet though.

    My favorite bar in Southport! Low key with that redneck charm that's good enough for a date or for the gaggle of faggles. A rural, townie, sport bar feel, this pub is one of my favorites when I just want a drink and some good pub food after work. Nothing crazy, just cool. - Food - steak & fries or a double bacon cheeseburger & fries, ONLY $5.50 - O.M.G. Is this for real? Yes. It is. And the steak is really good! - Every time I go in there, they have some sort of well drinks on special. And they're not watered down drinks either. Plus your usual beer specials. - Games - TVs with the games on, pool, darts, punching bag...pick your poison. - Friendly service - we always sat at a table, so we didn't really deal with the bar staff much. The servers are always cool, quick, and helpful. - Ambiance - very little lighting, just what you get from the TVs, neon signs, and pool table lights. Not too busy on week nights, so it's usually a good place to hang and chat after work. Busy on the weekends, with loud pop/classic rock jamming throughout the joint. I've never had a bad experience here, but I'm not hard to please. I like hold-in-the-wall type establishments. If you're into some redneck fine dining, you should check out this South side Indy pub for your next night out!

    I come to Barton's every now and then for a night out with friends for very reasonable drink prices. They have a lovely staff who have always been nice and ready to accommodate your order. I come by for lunch more frequently and they also have very good food with an even better price. It's a nice place to share an evening with a friend with. I recommend it

    Please read all the reviews on yelp before you read this one... It's a Sunday night and I came to watch some football and enjoy the bloody Mary and wings specials. After being accosted by smoke trying to get to the front door I should've just turned around and left. The smell got worse as I went in the door...again why did I stay ? There are two tables besides me and a semi full bar which isn't that big... Less than 20 people in the whole place. It took almost 10 minutes to get a bloody Mary which was a drink special. I ordered wings. The wings they served me were RAW! The waitress just couldn't be bothered to make it right. Considering the sloughs of vulgarities that came out of the mouths of the employees here it's just made me want to leave even more. And then the music started again vulgarities too unfortunate to mention. The bartender was rocking out with her friends at the end of bar. Football? Not here on a Sunday night. Propping the front door open?? Right now why? The smoke just keeps floating into this bar I have to get out of here now!! YIKES!!! Isn't this somehow code violation in someway? Serving raw chicken wings should be for sure! My husband and I used to love to come here and now I know why we stopped!!! This place is absolutely disgusting! My shoes should stick to the floor!

    Saturday Night!

    See all

They had the door open, which was letting in the fresh almost-spring air.) Drinks are pretty much all they have at Snug, to be honest. Don't visit thinking you're going to find a meal, because they don't have a lot of food beyond locally made hand pies and empanadas, a grazing board, and something called Snug Nuts. (Which brings to mind certain ... images.) I didn't get any food, just a Road & Coke, which is a whiskey with a Coke and lime, similar to a Cuba libre, although a Cuba uses rum. It was delicious, but a little light on the booze. It was only $5 and change, though, so it's kind of like what do you expect, really. It was a nice drink to sip slowly while I sat in the small, cozy bar. Speaking of bar aesthetics: Snug lives up to its name. It's tiny and dark but inviting. It feels like stepping into a hug. A hug that can also provide you with copious amounts of Irish whiskey, which sounds like the best kind of hug, to me.

The AVG is definitely a neighborhood tavern. It's cozy and very laid back with high top tables. I ordered an Old Fashioned but mixed drinks weren't really on offer unless it was something like rum and coke. I had a beer. It was fine. We were there for about an hour and a half. I would definitely return. The vibes were slow paced. We moved on to The Checkered Flag. Wowza!! It was a Thursday night but the place was hopping. We were joined by another friend with plans to have a bite to eat. The menu is unbelievable. So much to choose from. We were kind of boring because 3 of us chose the same thing and the other two chose the same item. Two had the pork tenderloin. Both agreed it was excellent. Three of us had the BBQ Pork spud. It's a giant baked potato with butter, a good spread of pimento cheese, moist pulled pork, BBQ sauce, coleslaw and green onions. It was fantastic. Normally the pork can become a bit dry. This was not the case. Cooked perfectly. I was able to order the Old Fashioned. They apologized because they were out of oranges but I was fine. It was a very good drink. There happened to be two musicians performing. I was quite impressed. This tavern was very very impressive. We all agreed to return Our final stop was Herrmann. It's a small brewery tucked away off a quiet street. We were offered several tastings of the beers on offer. We were all able to find something to our liking. I had a porter. There are tables for four spread around the seating area. It's comfortable and definitely a neighborhood haunt. All three places were definitely neighborhood taverns. The Checkered Flag was hands down the best! Indy has so much to offer!

I opted for the their Espresso Martini that was fantastic! Happy hour is always a plus here if you can make it. I had one of my favorites while just relaxing at the bar The Poke Nachos! Now if you don't like poke you may or may not enjoy these but if you're like me and enjoy wonderful flavors with a kick try these!!! To go I orders the Garlic Noodles another go to of mine. Hmmmmm so good and the brussels sprouts with these you can't go wrong. Many more items to try here and they do a great job. Shout out to Indy's Yard house you might be my favorite experience so far!
