    Cajun rub wings!
    Kamron A.

    Solid sports bar with good bar food! The wings with the Cajun rub are good! Definitely good portions! Service is solid and plenty of TVs to watch sports! Outdoor seating as well! Drinks are strong which I appreciate!

    Coaches is a small bar with strong drinks and good food. I typically go on a Tuesday night for Take Back Tuesday. But be sure to get the err early if you want a seat. They play hip hop from 10:30 - 3:00 am and it's always a good time! I got a burger and onion strips and it was good. I was told the patties are not frozen which was a bonus! Also, they have daily drink specials!

    How can you not love a downtown " hole in the wall" staple bar. Come here during ,after colts games, SOLID bartenders lol they actually make the drinks worth the price, trust me. DJs on Tuesdays, fun sociable crowds. Coaches is great.

    I loved Coaches Tavern. A group of us stopped in late night two different times. We had a few drinks and some food including fries, wings, nachos, quesadilla and a salad. Everything was delicious.

    Stopped in before a Pacer's game and wow this place was poppin! The inside has a small seating area near the bar and another main seating area that is a few steps down from the bar area, separated by a railing. Luckily we found a small table near the bar. The inside is decorated with sports memorabilia and there is a myriad of televisions on every wall. There was only a couple employees working but they were definitely hustling around making sure everyone was taken care of. They have drink specials every day of the week (usually $4 something). The menu has a wide variety of options including appetizers, soups/salads, quesadillas, burgers, wraps and even some fish sandwiches. We got mini corn dogs and split the buffalo chicken wrap. I was surprised that they offered the chicken either fried, blackened, or grilled. Because calories obviously don't count on the weekend, we went with fried. The food came out fast for the restaurant being so busy. The buffalo chicken wrap was excellent and the chicken was perfectly crispy. Just a heads up, the wrap comes with big chunks of carrots, which I thought added a nice crunch, but could see some other people not being a fan of. Overall, very impressed with the food, drinks and most importantly the atmosphere! Will definitely be back to watch games in the future.

    I love coming to the old school DJ nights and when DJ MetroGnome is spinning ‍. I am old school and love vinyl. Tribe Called Quest, Beastie Boys, Nas, Jay Z, Ice Cube, House of Pain is my jam. It can take awhile to get a drink . The peeps there are so cool. Wish there was room to get down. I'm pretty funky whiteboy. Peace out. I'm Audi 5000!!!!!

    Stopped by during the week for a late lunch. Didn't drink but wanted some bar-like food. Coaches was exactly what I was looking for-typical bar food, which was good. Service was sub-par and considering it was late lunch and not busy-there is really no excuse.

    Better get here on Tuesdays!!

Even with a full crowd, the staff stayed attentive, friendly, and on top of everything without making us feel rushed. You can tell they know how to handle a busy night while still making it feel personal. Whether you're there for a big game, a night out with friends, or just want a lively atmosphere with good food and drinks, Tom's Watch Bar is a win. Definitely a spot I'd come back to. We did have to wait for 20 min for our server to return to pay our bill. That was the only downside that was a bit crazy that she never came back!

Instead we got a live demonstration of how someone can be both a manager and completely allergic to managing. Nate approached our table like we had just personally asked him to work a double. Every question we asked was met with the same expression people make when their phone battery hits 1%. Asked if the TV could be switched to the game. Nate stared at the remote like it was a cursed artifact he legally wasn't allowed to touch. At one point he said, "I'll handle it." This was a bold claim considering he immediately disappeared and we never saw him again. I assume he's still somewhere in the building not handling it. Honestly, it was kind of fascinating to watch. Most managers run the place. Nate seems more like a guy who wandered in, got handed a manager title, and has been confused ever since. If Nate is the manager on duty, just know you'll be managing your own experience.

I would've rather grown a chicken, killed it for some wings, made a hat with its feathers and made sensory toys with its eyes The buns were probably the best part. The lettuce was cut smaller than you could ever imagine, the chicken had a good amount but tasted like it was drowned in Franks Red Hot Sauce. The tomato was a tomato This isn't all the restaurant though.

They typically don't do table service and make you order from the bar, drinks and food. However, Rex did a great job accommodating a few of our parents who are older. We had a family member in our group who had a cough. The manager came over and stood in front of us all and said, "you have to leave!" You are contaminating our bar and you all have to leave. He is not sick and simply had a deep cough. He has been evaluated a number of times and has been told by FP& ENT, he has been using his vocal cords too much and has caused him to have a cough. He stayed between our tables and there weren't many others in the bar. We basically had most of the bar to ourselves. We asked if he was kidding and he said, no, you must leave our bar. Honestly felt like he is a hypochondriac, and probably shouldn't be in the bartending or management position. The way he made our family member feel and the way he went about the situation was simply poor. If in the area, bypass this bar and support other bars in the area.

    Recently visited Fowling Warehouse for a work team building event. I had no idea what to expect…read more Parking was a bit of a mystery. There was a sign in front of the business pointing you to turn down a steer for parking; next block there is a huge parking lot but no signs saying you can park there for fowling, BUT, it was abundantly marked that cars will be towed. Since there was nothing else around, I assumed it was the right place and parked. Of course I briskly walked to fowling to inquire if I was in the correct space. I was, whew. Those towers can really work fast. Fowling is in a warehouse with other businesses, hence the name. It is huge. We were on lane 32, I believe so there's at least 32 lanes. There is also a corn hole area. There is a bar where they have a decent variety of adult beverages. I went with 3 Floyd's warpig, a hazy ipa. It was really good. The important aspect of fowling is not eating or drinking there, but to interact with the people your with. Sure you can win a game, but the fun is the game itself and the camaraderie with a drink. Our leader looked up the rules prior and explained them. You take turns throwing a football at bowling pins, one set of pins on each end of the lane. There are two lines to throw from, our group guys threw from back and women from front. I watched a group next to us, both men and women threw from front line, it didn't appear to give anyone an advantage. I don't know if the pizza place is part of fowling or a separate business, but we got pizza from Bonk Pizza. It was ok, it was enough to say we were fed. I'm glad I did this and would go again.

    Fowling (noun) fowl-ing: The hunting or trapping of wildfowl…read more Google "fowling definition" and this is what you'll find. Google simply "fowling" and you learn about this odd sport where you combine football and bowling. Just now. Right NOW as I'm writing this, the word fowling finally made (sort of) sense. Football + bowling = fowling. Now I'm even pronouncing the word different with a long "o" sound versus the "ou" diphthong. I had to Google that, too, but once I saw diphthong, I knew it was going in my review. You're welcome for the 5th grade grammar lesson. Please redeem your Pizza Hut personal pan pizza for your hard work. Ok, fowling. It has nothing to do with trapping birds or teaching birds of prey to land on your arm (that's falconry). Nope, it's a game you play with friends and beer. The setup is more like cornhole, but you use bowling pins and throw, that's right, a football. Someone was clearly drunk when this game was invented. But what a great way to bring a group of people together! The Fowling Warehouse specializes in the game of fowling, but has several other activities to enjoy as a group: pool, darts, a few arcade games and a golf simulator. I may go back just for the golf simulator. This is the real deal, a full Trackman set up. It was pretty sweet. Those simulators can be a little intimidating at the PGA Superstore, but it's tucked away in the corner at the Fowling Warehouse where you can shank balls and not feel like a fool. Mostly. There are also two bars and you can order pizza and boneless wings. The bar has a nice selection of beers on tap. They use the magnet cup system where the cup fills from the bottom. My favorite thing was seeing multiple signs on the bar that warn you that if you push the bottom of the cup, you will get wet! And I smiled devilishly thinking about curious people testing their luck with the cups and losing every time. For me, I enjoyed a couple glasses of this blood orange IPA. Delicious and refreshing. The Fowling Warehouse isn't exactly my jam, but I think it's the kind of place that is perfect for a certain crowd who enjoys games and likes a new challenge. And they can handle a large party! If you are looking to try a new sport that feels like it was invented by someone who lost a bet, this place is for you! I kid, but the Warehouse is nice and clean and large! The service was good and everyone seemed to have a great time. Seems like a pretty good spot for your next party if games are your thing!
