    Lots of food choices in The Garage! Hard to choose but here's the lineup: Mexican, Lobster and fish, Asian Fusion, British Fish and Chips, hamburgers, pizza, Brazilian, Indian, Greek, Latin American, Cuban, noodle bar, sushi, wine bar, juice bar, cocktail bar, beer tap, you get the picture... Order your food then find a table in the food court. I chose beef and cheese pastels from Groucho's Fire. They were great! There are also some shops in the garage and on the streets in the district. Also duck pin bowling and a movie theatre . Pay to park right on site, and explore!

    Feeling pretty darned lucky to have this downtown addition a few steps from our house. What's not to love about a dozen+ new local dining options, historic preservation, extensions of trails and two new coffee shops at your doorstep? Indy has been looking forward to this project for years and it's so great to see what was formerly the public school bus parking lot and old Coca Cola bottling factory converted into a bustling extension of the Mass Ave Cultural Arts District. You can find everything from a boutique hotel and movie theatre to a large food hall and office spaces here. There's also several boutique shops, a spa, and pinball arcade. I'm personally most excited about the second location of Chapati (Chapati Beta), Certain Feelings coffee shop (same folks as Provider and Coat Check), and overall historic preservation of the site. In the years to come, there will be additional down residences added for the next phase of the project. Enjoy a stroll down the brick streets and soak in all of the newly installed outdoor, shaded seating while you're at it.

    Visited for the first time today! You won't want to miss this place-something for everyone's palette. Venezuelan, pizza, ice cream, poke bowls, Mediterranean, burgers and more! We are at 2 different places Arribico pizza and Azicar Morena, LLC Venezuelan chicken arepas (gluten free!!!). Then we indulged in Lick ice cream that has vegan ice cream that's so delicious! Fun place fun vibes! Try it you'll like it. Outdoor/Indoor seating too.

    I have to admit that I sometimes get frustrated with Indianapolis and the way we "develop" things. However, there's certainly something special going on here in the neighborhood known as Chatham Arch. Located along the end of Mass Avenue, this Bottleworks District is creating a breathtaking destination for locals and a tourist destination for downtown visitors all in one while also adding new purpose to the Art Deco landmarks that have long dotted the landscape in this area. It would have been easy, and perhaps even tempting, to simply remove these buildings that were nostalgic yet long vacant but instead we end up with functional buildings that celebrate the city's history. It's important to note, first of all, that this area is still in development. Key pieces have opened - the Bottleworks Hotel, The Garage Food Hall, the Living Room Theatres, and a couple of shops but other soon to be businesses are still under construction and it appears additional buildings and potential parking are altering the landscape without destroying the vibe (I'm looking at you, Broad Ripple). The Garage Food Hall is just that - it's a food hall. It's a destination food hall with 14 different vendors and I believe more to come. The food selection is diverse and ranges from modestly priced options like Clancy's Hamburgers to finer options like J's Lobster Shack. There are retailers, as well, including Pumkinfish that relocated from its previous spot on Mass Avenue. There are also some services, such as a barber shop. The vibe is industrial. You may be thinking about a mall food court, but this is cooler, more communal, and an awful lot more fun. In recognition of the pandemic still going on, it's also open concept with tables 6' apart and employees who are cleaning the heck out of the place. The doorways are traditional doorways (not automatic), but easily 95% of this place has been made accessible for mobility. By the time they get done, you'll have 30,000 square feet of food hall glory. The Bottleworks Hotel is another Geronimo Hospitality Group joint (think Ironworks). Geronimo thrives in the industrial vibe and they've taken retro chic and industrial and made this one incredible place. 139 keys, that's rooms in hotel lingo, with a restaurant and lounge that I believe is soon to open. The hotel occupies the top two floors of what used to be the Coca-Cola plant's administration building. They've kept the vibe with some glorious updates including a staircase you've simply got to see. Geronimo does accessibility right - I haven't stayed here yet, but I've stayed at Ironworks and I was ready to move in with my wheelchair and all. The Living Room Theatres is an eight-screen joint that screams classic Hollywood. There's another staircase here you've simply got to see. This was started by actual filmmakers who know what makes watching a film special and they've added it here. Technically, Living Room is a "chain" if you consider having 3 locations a chain. They jumped in early and found the perfect location. I've already been here once and it's glorious. The retail spaces will eventually include 143,000+ square feet of retail space with each space ranging from 1,000 to 22,000 square feet. From what's present, you're getting an Indy vibe with some easy recognition that this will be a destination spot. Finally, there's even going to be office space here - 175,000+ square feet of people calling this space their Monday-Friday home (at least post-pandemic). I don't believe this space is open at all yet and there's obvious construction going on. By opening in phases, each destination gets perfected. There's paid parking to be found. All of Mass Avenue is meters anyway, so this is consistent with the area and it's actually MUCH more convenient. I'm not always big on these kinds of destination spots, but having already been down to Clancy's and Lick Ice Cream and Living Room (plus stopping in to see the hotel), I'm a fan and already anxious to return. While some concerns are legit, after all Chatham Arch has always been a fairly quiet residential area, so far everything looks quite promising and should help lift Indy's prospects in a post-pandemic world.

    I'm a big Art Deco aficionado, so this district was a must-see for me. I'm so happy that this still exists due to its architectural significance. I took lots of photos of the Coke plant exterior and am very excited to see how this district will continue to grow but pay tribute to its past. Hoping they'll close off some of the streets in the summer for some swing dancing, perhaps!

    This is going to be the next 'It' neighborhood after Covid. I give them a lot of credit for opening during the pandemic. There is a swanky new hotel, a huge food hall, and a movie theater with much planned to come.

    This place was soooooo cool!! I absolutely loved it and the whole atmosphere. Reminded me of my home town KC in many ways, but with its own character. There was definitely a long wait to bowl, so definitely make a reservation. Lots of pinball machines, which I can't get enough of and bocci! Overall just a great place to hang out, have some drinks and play!

    The most anticipated development project for 2020 in Indy did not disappoint! Walking the exterior is very Disneyland for the Midwest! Breathing new life into our Art Deco landmarks makes the city majestically nostalgic! Excited to appreciate the property more in the post covid world of 2021!

    The Bottleworks Hotel is amazing! Review on their page. The Bottleworks Garage is a fun and unique experience with multiples restaurants, two bars, a few shops and barbershop. It is busy no matter the time of day and personally would not take my kids. More of an adult place. It is very loud. The restaurants are all really good. There is lacking of seating for the amount of restaurants and they are opening more. With two bars people are taking up seats to drink and talk and then people are walking around holding food with no where to sit. We had to walk back to the hotel with out food and they said "no seats!" Sounds like it's a common problem. Two bars and ten restaurants require more seating! Hard Truth Distilling- No! Way over priced. Mixed drink specials $15 each for about 2-3oz of liquid. Tiny plastic cup not even filled half the way up. And so much liquor you couldn't taste the flavors they were describing on menu. Our group had four different drinks and all the same. Clancy's Hamburgers - Really good and fresh burger! Had the Clancy Burger and cheese fries. Recommend! Licks Ice Cream - Had the candied pecan ice cream and it was delicious and cheap! $3.50 for the cup. Gaucho's Fire - So good! Brazilian steak sandwich was delicious! Also tried the Brazilian cheese bread and good.

    I got to go to the new Bottleworks today. The Garage reminded me of a small Time Out Market (i've been to the one in Lisbon and Chicago). I can't wait until they get more restaurants and shops in it. All of the food we had was delicious. Especially the margaritas (We tried the lobster roll, Korean barbecue taco, spicy shrimp taco, guacamole, and sweet sweet potato fries with sour cream and I some kind of cheese and sauce. Sorry I did not get the names of the two restaurants. One was the lobster/fish market and the other was mostly individual tacos.) We checked out the Living Room which has movies. You can eat in the lounge area (not sure about a restaurant) or while watching the movie. Our last stop was in the hotel. It is absolutely gorgeous. IPS people I love how they left quite a bit of the old building as part of the new. As soon as you can, run to visit This fantastic addition to

The King bed room was $249 a night before taxes, parking, etc for a final $1,098.27 for 4days/3nights and roughly $80 of that was from food and beverage bled to the room. The service really stood out from check in to check out. Everyone from housekeeping to the front desk, was friendly and welcoming every time I passed by or needed anything it was a great encounter. It was every staff member. I chose self parking in the garage over valet. Plenty of parking and easy to access. The restaurants are good. I frequented Loaf + Vine Market quite a bit, along with Starbucks upstairs, then High Velocity, and the lobby bar. Nice to have solid options right in the hotel. The room felt luxurious with great amenities with wood accents in the foyer, floor to ceiling windows, a safe, mini fridge, full size ironing board, great bathroom, plenty of hot water (32nd floor), a nice desk area for working, and a good size TV. The workout facilities were great too with water and fresh fruit provided. No downsides during my stay. Overall, really impressed with both the service and the experience. Would definitely stay here again.

    Great staff. Great service…read more The only reason there was a four, was that the first room that was given to us, was supposed to be a smoke-free room, but immediately smelled like smoke. When we got into the room. The staff was super accommodating and made sure that we removed a few doors down to a room that was smoke-free. Room was a good quality. Double beds. Shower okay, no bathtub. Refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker. The only downside about the coffee maker was that the universal coffee and plastic attachments did not go with the machine. It should have been a closed environment, but it was not. Once you inserted the plastic coffee filter and place the coffee filter pod into the maker, there was a gap, which led to splashing of the hot water onto the coffee filter pod that led to coffee Bean all over the desk. Breakfast every morning. Waffles, either scrambled eggs or pre-cooked omelette, pork sausage, chicken sausage. Golden potatoes, yogurt, fruit, various breads, oatmeal, cereal, coffee, tea, hot chocolate. Pretty good size dining room as well. On the second floor. Second floor was also where the fitness center was. The floors were labeled with having vending machines on floors 4 and 7:00, but I could not find any. There was a snack area on the first floor where you could purchase snacks by scanning with self-checkout. Refrigerated items, frozen items, candy, chips, etc. The only thing the room really needed was a deep clean. Crevices and corners could have used some extra care and love. Outside of that, no complaints. Security key required to get into the hotel, as well as up the elevator.

If you don't wanna go anywhere in the morning, they did have a complimentary breakfast, but again it is so perfectly located between tons of great restaurants. My only knock was that the customer service experience at the desk was a bit different between the night staff and the morning stuff. The young woman who is working overnight, seemed very preoccupied and slightly annoyed when I had some pretty basic questions. This was completely contrasted by the young woman who was working in the morning. I saw her going above and beyond whether it was making sure the trash left for breakfast was taken care of or checking us out. Having worked in hospitality, I understand that anybody can have a bad night, but overall our stay was great and we would definitely recommend this place for anyone coming in town from one of the major events or anyone just looking to have a fun staycation.
