    I can't believe I have driven walked, and ran pass this place for years and just decided to check it out. The inside is smaller than I expected and so is the bar seating. Outside patio was poopin' but the inside was pretty quiet, which was great for me. I am a fan of dark beers and the ones I tried were fantastic. I can definitely see myself going more and next time trying some food, the personal pan pizza looked delicious.

    Since I don't live in Indy, it's been awhile since I've had a chance to stop by, but I still think it's an underrated great option for food or drinks. As areas like Broadripple get trendy, you tend to lose the character places. This isn't a place that is going to take over TikTok or Instagram with a viral post or some photo op spot. But they will serve you good food and drinks. I stopped by when they opened on a Sunday, so it wasn't overly crowded. I don't remember them having a Baby Guiness shot when I last visited, but I was pleasantly surprised by its inclusion in the menu. The last time I was able to find a bartender who knew what that was was 20 years ago in Ireland. The scotch egg burger was as good as I remembered and the onion rings almost had me licking the plate. Definitely recommend both.

    BBQ Chicken Sandwich
    Phil B.

    I can see why we haven't eaten here in probably over a decade. Food was decent not great not bad. Not really memorable. Bbq chicken was pretty basic. Spinach melt I ask for crispy bacon I got almost crispy. Fries were good. Service a bit slow for the number of people eating. The Knick knacks really need cleaning as do the windows to what I'm guessing is an office area. It just liked dirty unkempt. Very very dark inside and that may be entirely by design. Maybe if you're a beer drinker this place may be entirely different to you.

    Vegan tenderloin
    Bruce F.

    Broad Ripple Brewpub deserves credit for embracing plant-based diners with a generous spread of vegan options. I chose their vegan tenderloin and the onion rings as the side accompaniment. The onion rings were seasoned, crunchy and cooked to perfection. The vegan tenderloin was a different story. While the intentions are commendable, execution matters--and that's where the tenderloin fell short. Let's start with the good: THE CRUNCH! The breading had a satisfying crisp that gave the sandwich some much-needed texture. Unfortunately, that's where the excitement ended. The tenderloin itself was dry and underseasoned, leaving the palate searching for something--anything--to latch onto. A little salt, a hint of spice, or even a marinade could've elevated the experience. Not even the pickles, onions and mayo could elevate it from "meh" to memorable. A neighborhood known for its eclectic energy and bold flavors, this sandwich felt timid. Vegan doesn't have to mean bland, and Broad Ripple Brewpub has the opportunity to prove that with a little more culinary courage. Verdict: Crunchy, yes. Flavorful, no. A decent attempt that needs seasoning, moisture, and a bit more pizzaz I'll definitely be trying this place again but checking out their other vegan options.

    Fish and Chips
    Richard P.

    Friends were in town from the Elkhart County area. I was tired after a long day, however, the chance to get together with these friends was too good to pass up on. So, we began the search for a dining option honoring their vegan ways and my carnivore tendencies. Broad Ripple Brewpub may not seem like the idea option for a vegan, however, they have a surprising amount of vegetarian and vegan options. I knew parking would be an option here, though I hadn't realized Broad Ripple was hosting an art fair this weekend. I arrived with concerns that I'd be unable to find anything. However, fairly quickly I found an accessible spot along the Monon Trail. There's a row of three spots right across from La Piedad - about a block down from the Brewpub. Broad Ripple Brewpub offers both indoor and outdoor options. After figuring out that my friends were already inside, we all gathered in a quiet, dimly light corner. Amidst the chaos that was Broad Ripple, I was surprised how quiet it was and how much we could enjoy conversation and dinner. As you enter, you turn to the right and head toward a small hosting area. It's a narrow hallway. Like many businesses in Broad Ripple, it appears this is an old house turned into a restaurant. While everything is narrow, my guess is that some thought has been put into design because I could easily get where I needed to be. I will admit that when I'm dining with passionate vegans, I'm as respectful as I can be while also honoring the fact I'm not vegan. So, I switched from my usual burger and moved over fish and chips (Yes, probably in a vegan's eyes there's no difference but it feels less "in your face" to me). Broad Ripple Brewpub was started by John Hill and his wife, Nancy. Nancy is a native Hoosier. John is from U.K. and has clearly designed the pub with an eye toward authenticity with its dark wood, fireplace, tin ceiling, and stained glass windows. (I think one table thought I was staring at them - in reality, I love these windows). Our server, whose name I didn't quite catch, was excellent throughout. She was present without being intrusive. I had multiple iced tea refills because my friends and I were lingering. I never got the sense of being pushed out. Most of the pub was busy outside - it was a nice day. The inside was less full and that allowed us to really linger. The management had previously contacted me to let me know that the restrooms are relatively accessible. They do regularly have customers who are wheelchair users. I checked and, yes, I think most can do fine with the restrooms. If you're very dependent on assistance, it might be a bit of a chore but most will do fine. The food was good across the board. I can't remember everything my group ordered, however, I do know there was a pub chip appetizer (we didn't quite register that pub chips would be included with meals). We had me with fish and chips, one with vegan tenderloin, one with tenderloin, and a couple other options. At least two of us, myself included, needed to grab a "to go" box. My meal included two large pieces of fish, pub chips (other sides could have been chosen), and a small thing of cole slaw that I enjoyed. What can I say? I just really enjoyed this experience. I loved that we could linger. I loved the quieter, more intimate ambience. I loved the quiet yet steady service. Pricing has gone up for sure since my previous review, however, it's still competitive and a solid value for the amount of food received. I loved the iced tea refills (I believe they still use Hubbard & Craven for tea). Of course, I loved the company I was with but I really loved that I could enjoy this company. While Broad Ripple sometimes gets a bad wrap these days, this was a sublime experience and a great reminder that there are some major gems in Broad Ripple. In terms of access, they have a small parking lot that doesn't really offer access unless you aim for an end spot. There are three ADA compliant spots a block away and I utilized one of them. Curb cuts have improved in this area. There's a little bit of a weird angle to get on the sidewalk of the pub, however, it's pretty low to the ground and very workable. I had no problem functioning inside or outside. The patio is dog-friendly. This was a near perfect end to a tiring yet rewarding day. So, Broad Ripple Brewpub is being moved up to a 5-star.

    Scotch Egg Burger with Pub Chips
    Matheuski C.

    Great food enjoyed on an outdoor patio. Plenty of options for various diets and drinkers. The service was attentive and patient with our party. A great place to grab dinner with friends or family!

    Scotch Egg Burger
    Scott W.

    This place came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. We needed a place to accommodate our dog and a variety of diners. Their covered patio area is lovely. They made our dog feel welcome and the food was great also! Unlike most restaurants where vegetarian and vegan options are an afterthought, here there were a plethora of options. Meanwhile, the carnivores of our party also had lots of choices. Of note were multiple people who enjoyed the generous portion of fish and chips. The highlight was a Scotch Egg Burger which was delicious and so interesting. We will definitely return in future trips to Indy!!!

    Excellent brews and Irish fare! Scotch Eggs and sandwiches were awesome. Wide variety of beers for all liking and got a couple crowler cans to go!!

    Baby Guiness
    Bernard M.

    Had the Drunken Chicken Pasta and it was delicious! Just enough spicy. Chicken grilled perfectly. Great service too! Definitely try the Baby Guinness cocktail. Scotch eggs with HB sauce as an app. And the Monon Porter!! Wow. Just fantastic!

We got there early and were able to have some drinks and food, including the nachos. Man, I was not expecting BBQ sauce and like a mustardy sauce and cheese and it was flavor exploding, loved it. With the event we had catered pork/chicken as well as sides. Everything was great, the peppercorn dressing for the salad was so amazing, I would definitely think of a salad here in the future. The venue inside the space, with the car, is quaint with seating and you get to see everything happening outside the space as well. This last time, we were in the original Guggman Haus brewing building that houses the coffee. This is adorable! We had service the entire time, including a bartender and the beer. They made everything super easy and I would consider this space for a baby shower, bridal shower, etc. We had 25 people and it fit wonderfully. There is also outside space for overflow, so it makes it very reasonable. Now onto the beer! I had the IPA Riverside, very hazy with a great flavor. Then I went off the rocker and ordered some prickly pear drink, I was not expecting how good that was! Refreshing and light, easy to drink (probably too easy) and the flavor was perfect! Try it if you are there, it is a newer option. PROS: Parking easy, street and lot Many open spaces and areas to rent Games are included, so eat, drink and enjoy company They have trivia nights, woohoo CONS: Sometimes the food is not always a hit, nothing to state specifically today, but I recall in the past saying to myself, don't order that again. So, try everything and find what you like. The place is great and the beer/food options are good, so you will find something you like.

The Brussels sprouts are an absolute triumph: perfectly blistered with a caramelized exterior and tender interior, dressed in a harmonious balance of bright acidity and savory depth. Little crunchy bits and a subtle smoky char add texture, while a finishing sprinkle (and a hint of something sweet-salty) elevates them from simple side to a show-stealer. The Korean salmon is equally impressive. The fish arrives flaky and moist with a richly glazed crust that carries sweet, spicy, and umami notes in perfect proportion. Layers of flavor -- gochujang-forward heat, sesame brightness, and a touch of citrus -- play against the salmon's natural richness without overpowering it. It's plated thoughtfully, with complementary sides that keep each bite balanced. If you're at Big Lug Canteen, don't pass up those two dishes -- they demonstrate skilled technique, bold yet nuanced seasoning, and a real sense of care in the kitchen.

The mussels were actively bad. The portion (an app) was pretty small. There was hardly any broth/wine and they weren't piping hot. Also, they were actually not tasty and the texture was rubbery. They remained in front of me, uncleared, even after I closed my tab. They did not smell good. I don't anticipate being sick but I do anticipate being hungry.
