    Stopped in to one of my favorite Irish pubs in Indy for a tasty pint of Guinness. While here, we had the scotch eggs, which are some of the best I've had!!! The staff is friendly and attentive and always a good conversation with fellow patrons. If you're in the area, you definitely need to stop in!

    This is one of my favorite Irish pubs in Indy and one of the best places to go for a Guinness. When we stopped in, we also ordered the Scotch Eggs. Talk about deliciousness!! Thee might be the best Scottish Eggs I've had! They were crispy in the outside and bursting with flavor. The staff was friendly and attentive. I'm a fan of all the decor too. We go here most times we're on the north side.

    Went here after dinner with friends to catch the IU vs. Purdue game. The amount of tv's was great and the people and atmosphere where nice and not to loud or crowded. It is a smaller place as seen from the pics but it ads to the ambiance. The only issue we had which is my fault for not checking my bill before I gave the server my card was being charged for a drink I never got. I only had ordered a whiskey on the rocks and cider so how she lost count of the amount of drinks I had stumps me but be it as it may overall a decent place.

    Went for early dinner Arrived prior to 6 and was greeted immediately. They have a huge beer menu. We ordered Scotch Eggs. The eggs were good but unlike others we have had these were like chicken fried. They came with a horseradish/mayo sauce which was good The beer was good and cold. Served in a normal tavern glass My husband ordered fish and chips. He thought it was wonderful. Real beer batter. Pub fries and English peas I had corn beef and cabbage. It was a disappointment. The cabbage was good but the corn beef was thick slices prepared on a grill and placed in some kind of Guinness sauce. I ate it but would not order it again We ordered Irish cheese cake. It was normal cheese cake with chocolate sauce all over it and some kind of whipped cream? On the side. Didn't expect the chocolate and the cream stuff looked like cottage cheese We ordered coffee and asked for a refill. They said we got the last two coffee's and couldn't have a refill. Our waitress was new to this location so we let a couple of things pass The atmosphere is differently pub. Set up for group drinking and no frills dining We left about 7:15 and there was a wait. They do not take reservations I probably won't go back but if you like that old pub atmosphere and no frills dining with megs tv's this is the place for you

    The servers are always nice but the food and drinks are just okay. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here when there are better options in Carmel. The Trump flag is disappointing - we won't be back.

    I've been to Brockway twice now, and evaluating this restaurant reminds me of one of the taglines used in the 1990's TV show The X-Files - "I want to believe...". I want Brockway to be my go-to source for the Pub experience. I want very badly for the food to impress me. I want the service to be great. The problem is, those things never really materialize. The ambiance is certainly great, and the location on Old Meridian is a prime spot. But, that's where the fun stops. Bangers & Mash is usually something I get very excited about, but here, the dish lacked excitement. I'm sure we'll probably be back again. I came very close to just doing three stars, to avoid seeming negative. But, two is all I could muster here. I'll come again, and I'll branch out on the menu a little. But I'm not getting my hopes up.

    I wanted to try something new for st paddy's this year and let's just say what I expected wasn't at all what I received ! The service and ambiance was no friendly and just ok they only were service st paddy's day menu with a very select menu ! I got the shepads pie served in a paper tray no served with a single side for $19 and my friend a sandwich and fires for $15 ! I do give them grace as it is the busiest few days for them but I wish server would have been friendly asking if we needed other things with more flavor for food and served on a plate ! The manager did take care of my concerns which I appreciate not sure I would choose to return for lunch maybe after st paddy's day to try other menu items definetely a bar vibe

    Excellent food and ambience! We happened in late on a Tuesday night after a long day and it was such a treat to have a group of musicians playing Irish music. Really made for a great experience! The food is very very good, there's a huge variety of beer and a nice, dark and cozy Irish pub feel! Open late and great for late night bites!!

    The interior is what you'd expect from a Pub named Brockway Public House with a large bar, tall-top and 4-top tables and several tables to accomadate a group. Many flat-screens are placed throughout the restaurant with 3 over the bar. An outdoor patio, on two sides of the building, is available when weather permits. I'm looking forward to warmer weather so we can take advantage of the patio. The atmosphere is fun, many regular patrons, full of laughter and loud most of the time. During one of my past visits I ordered the Barley Salad Mixed Greens (a few to many bitter ones) with cooked barley, walnuts, dried cherries, tossed with olive oil dressing and touch of lemon. Not a fan of the olive oil dressing which I thought was to heavy for the salad and overpowers the flavors. They used a small amount of barley which was nice and not a flavor deterrent. Walnuts were excellent, sweet and helps offset the bitterness of the greens if not mixed thoroughly. I noticed on my last visit this salad is no longer on the menu. I was extremely disappointed in the service. Drink order and lunch arrived timely then it was as if we didn't exist. It appeared everyone sitting at tables felt the same and a couple actually moved to the bar while others steamed. The bartender was the only server waiting tables right now and he seemed overwhelmed by the amount of people rolling in with a total of 6 couples (only two w/food orders) and 4 bar drinkers. Maybe it's just his personality but after food was dropped off he was a ghost. We were never checked on again to check if food was fine, nor any drink refills. Not one! Nice beer selection & specialty drinks but with this type of service you certainly don't want to order another drink. We shouldn't have to sit at the bar to get decent service. Couple at next table ate, gave up on ordering another beer, paid at the bar and left. Outdoor tables were coming in for refills so keep that in mind if you sit outdoors. Because of the beer selection we'll be back but I'm not sure we'll try ordering food again unless we sit at bar. I prefer not to eat a full meal at the bar though. Today, service 1 star, food 3 stars. Great Lunch menu selection from the Pick 2 for $9.99, available Monday through Friday 11 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Decent lunch selection with Reuben, BLT, Turkey and Cheddar, Corned Beef and Slaw, Fish, 4 Wings and a Guinness Chop. Today's visit was much improved from my last visit. The bartender, M. Sawyer, had a full bar so I selectioned one of the small tables in the bar area. The bartender was attentive, friendly, timely and made a nice cocktail. I ordered off of the small plates section of the regular menu. The Brockway Bams sounded good so I ordered those and a margarita. The Bams are Icelandic cod bites prepared with their award winning beer batter and served with Brockway sauce. I was concerned they would be either all batter, overcooked or extremely greasy. I was pleasantly surprised when a heaping portion of fish arrived with sauce. The Fish Nuggets had a light beer batter, perfectly golden brown with fresh, flaky fish inside. Very affordable appetizer for $9.50 and can easily share or have as a meal. Today's visit was a totally different experience which was pleasant with good food and drink. I'll return sooner hoping the service is consistent with today's. Fun location on Old Meridian with street parking or in lot behind the businesses.

    Dirty table
    Lola S.

    The table was dirty and there was a weird musty smell. The Irish margarita only tasted like bourbon and the fries and the pretzels were so bland they didn't even have salt. The burger here was bland which is normal considering I go a cheeseburger but ever the patty just tasted like raw meat. The ale sauce was watery and had no flavor. Overall, I probably wouldn't come here again. The service was fast though and the lady was nice.

    Amazing Grilled Chicken Wrap!

    So I've been to Brock way plenty of times over the last two years. Figured it was time to give them kudos. The two guys they had working tonight have great customer service skills. Both very friendly and very efficient. I don't have either name unfortunately, but I've had the pleasure of being waited on by both before. But they're ideal bar/pub servers. As far as food goes, most people are missing out on this place. Please stop for more than just a drink! They have a great menu, that no matter what I order I enjoy. I do strongly recommend the chowder, especially on cold damp days, as well as any of their sandwiches. It's also just a great themed spot, really represents that local bar feeling you want, better than a modern gastro pub. It's inviting like a pub is supposed to be! Every time I'm in I feel welcomed and like my business is appreciated. Keep it up!

    There's not really another bar like The Goat in Carmel. This is probably the most Broad Ripple-y…read morebar I've been to in this city. (If you know, you know.) For that reason, The Goat got in trouble by the city a while back, and was shut down for a time. But then it reopened, and now it seems to be minding its Ps and Qs, for the most part. You will know you're at The Goat when you see a big American flag flapping in the breeze outside of the restaurant. You'll also know you're at The Goat when you spot the Donald Trump beer tap handle at the bar. OK! They must really like the movie "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York" here. There really is a place for everyone, and I somehow found myself in this place. But you know what? I got nothing but love (or like, really) for The Goat. My experience was great. The service was excellent. The beer, wine and spirits list was outstanding. The music they were playing was nice (heck yeah to whoever chose to play mid-90s Incubus, Bush and Marcy Playground.) I'm the type of person who goes to a dive-ish bar and orders wine, and the kind people at The Goat didn't even blink, and poured me a nice, generous glass. Fine, two glasses. If you're the kind of person who drinks bourbon, your heart will start beating faster when you step into The Goat. They have an amazing bourbon list. On Wednesdays, they do $12 pours of select bottles, some of which are $100+ per bottle. So, you can try out some top-shelf bourbon at a decent price. Mark your calendar for Wednesdays at The Goat, if you're into bourbon. My visit was just for drinks with a small party, and we didn't try any of the food. But we got a variety of drinks among us, including red wine, beer, straight bourbon and blueberry cider. They have a lot of different types of alcohol to please an adult palate. Speaking of adults, this place is 21+ only!

    We visited The Goat for the first time Tuesday evening and had a terrible experience. It took…read moreforever for anyone to take our drink order. And when they finally did, she made us pay before she ever served a drink. Not only that, it took nearly 30 minutes to complete our drink order. The worst part is that the bartender forgot one of our drinks and we were told she only charged us for two drinks instead of three which was a flat out lie. Especially since we had a long drawn out conversation about her inability to change the alcohol type in one of our drinks because it's premixed, you'd think she would remember. Sadly, no. We should have left then but were there for a watch party. So we ended up reordering and paying again for the missing drink. We moved to a different area of the bar and still experienced subpar service. Nearly every staff member in this place had the look on their faces like everyone was an inconvenience to them. Not one smile. Very limited interaction. And overall, extremely poor customer service. I would not recommend! Cherry on top: when you pay, they have the unmitigated gall to have the tip increments go from 22-30%. Not a one person who "served" us worked to deserve a tip of that magnitude. And I'm saying this as a very generous tipper! Never again....which I'm sure they don't mind since it's clear they don't care.

The BBQ poutine fries were so big on the tray that I felt a little ostentatious as I was carrying the tray back to my table. It felt like all of the food on my tray surely should have been going to a family. But no: All of these BBQ poutine fries were just for one gluttonous person (me). Every so often, I would get an enormous fry that was way bigger than the others. It was more like a steak fry! It was like a little baked potato. It was nice to have that variety in the appetizer (which I was treating like an entree because, again, I was eating this giant appetizer by myself without shame). One of my children opted to get the kids meal here, which is the mac & cheese with a side (he chose fries). The mac & cheese is cavatappi pasta, so it's that pleasing curly texture that kids love (my kid loved it). The Den by FoxGardin is located inside Sun King Food Hall, and it's one of the food options you have here. If you are looking for pub food, comfort food, or just plain good food, you can't go wrong with this place.

We sat at a high top table in the bar. Our server, Bailey (the bartender), was friendly and super attentive. She made recommendations and kept glasses filled. The craft beer selection is excellent with about 16 local options on tap. My husband had a Fall City "Hipster Repellent". The name alone is interesting, but he loved his beer. I had the Espresso Martini which came with roasted coffee beans floating on top. My cocktail went down easy. I also had a glass of the Berringer Chardonnay. The pour is generous. We shared a plate of Loaded Tots, which was wonderful. The tots are made from scratch in-house and covered with roasted bits of pork belly, cheese, a sauce and green onions. We LOVED the tots, which came out super hot. We also shared a plate of the Loaded Hummus. The plate is beautiful and colorful. The hummus is fresh made and loaded with bits of tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and is delicious on a balsamic reduction.

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.

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.
