It was actually my first time here and we had an amazing time. Their staff was super friendly - made it easy to get in and helpful once inside. The venue itself is clean and cool, decently sized, with quality sound and solid bar menu. And the show itself was the highlight of the night - never thought I'd see Paul live as a teenager, let alone stand right next to him. Thanks for bringing him to Indy!

The drinks tend to be more reasonably priced than Live Nation events. I was there a couple weeks ago and made sure to bring a clear purse and even measured it to make sure I wouldn't have any issues getting in through security. It was fine. When I was there last night the exact same purse was prohibited. Next time I'm going to bring a tape measurer with me so I don't have to go through that hassle again.

During the night of my visit I saw a solo artist with a small band. The sound quality was quite good with very little feedback. I enjoyed sitting at the cabaret style tables toward the back. I also attended the annual bourbon tasting at Turntable. In addition to concerts and shows, they can host some special events as well. The space is not big so don't expect to cramp too many people in there. The Vogue is an iconic venue in Indy but Turntable has its merits also. The vibe is definitely different and I enjoyed seeing a more chill show in there. They have multiple events every week so keep an eye out on their calendar.

Nice small theater with tables and chairs. Stage is simple. It is used for speakers and concerts.read more

Alley…read moreCat Lounge is considered by many to be that, and I won't disagree...but let me tell you it is not the dingy, drab bar that I had pictured. It was fresh, clean, cozy, and had excellent service. Although I didn't get any food, I did get a couple of cocktails and they were not only delicious, but were also SO cheap compared to bougie bars that I've frequented. Don't tell anyone else how good the Alley Cat Lounge is, though, so I can still have a seat. ;)

I had the 12oz ribeye which was on the thin side but overall was a good steak. I expected a grizzly steak with a good amount of fat but it was on the leaner side for a ribeye and the whole steak was edible. My sides were fries(crinkle cut) and salad (a blen of iceberg and green leaf along with other veggies and cheese). Served with Texas toast. Overall a good value meal! Worth stopping for. The atmosphere was ok. A little stale and preppie. I believe they have another bar area which is divided by a wall, I cannot comment on that if so. Where I sat was more of a diner atmosphere with alcohol. Service was good

It was dark, definitely a late night bar, and was normally the place to grab your last beer of the night before heading home!

I was there for St. Patty's day and the drinks were cold the corn beef & cabbage authentic and filling, and the camaraderie as cheerful and rambunctious as you would expect! I highly recommend!

We got a brisket bbq grilled cheese, really good and simply with a new twist. Also, the brisket Reuben is another sandwich we ordered and it was delicious.

Overall, great experience and will definitely be back!

Flatwater Restaurant was just okay this time around. We ordered the pork tenderloin with mac and…read morecheese and the shrimp tacos. We both agreed the mac and cheese was the best part, really good. The rest of the food felt a bit bland. The tenderloin was filling, but the mayo and toppings didn't add much flavor. Even the waitress mentioned she prefers it with ketchup and cheese. We have been here before and remember it being much better, which made this visit a little disappointing. Service was solid. We had no wait at 7:30 on a Saturday, the food came out quickly, and our waitress was friendly and helpful. The ambiance is still a big plus here. The space looks great inside and out, and the location along the river is hard to beat. It was a little chilly when we went, but on a warm day sitting outside would be ideal, especially with live music.

The Rock the Ruins people turned it all around, though, and spun the cancelled concert into a hip-hop DJ party! That is some quick thinking on their part. We stayed and ate Lou Malnati's pizza from the Lou stand, and got Ice cream at the BRICS table, and there were some other food trucks there, too. All of them take cards. We got the upgraded "silver" experience, which lets you park and enter through the premium entrance by the Nature Center. You also have access to a designated food and beverage tent, climate-controlled restrooms, and some exclusive food options. I'd definitely spring for this again if I attend another Rock the Ruins concert!

This is an interesting place. It's basically a fast food place run by 2 people. There's someone…read morein the 'kitchen' (basically a shack next to he main building) preparing all the food. And there's a bartender inside who takes care of all the drinks. You order from one of the tablets outside nest to the shack (directions on how to order could be a lot clearer as there is no one in the dining room or the outdoor patio to direct you to the tablets). There's a little sandwich board on the ground with some instructions scrawled on dry-erase marker. After you order and pay on the tablet (cash not accepted). You wait until you get a text on your phone to let you know to pick up your order from the sliding window at the shack. The inside is a basic bar with a full drink menu and several beers on draft and in bottles. You can pay for your drinks with cash or card.

Unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired. We were never greeted or checked on during our visit and had to go up to the bar anytime we needed something. The bartenders seemed more focused on socializing with friends than serving customers, and it often took quite a while to get their attention. We understand it's a bar and people are there to have fun, but even a simple greeting and a little more attentiveness would have made for a much better experience.

I've always loved their extensive beer list, and got to sip one of my favorites which was a blood orange blonde by Four Day Ray. Brothers is still a great place for good drinks and bar food!
