Pulling into the packed parking lot on a football Sunday, we were already discussing our backup…read moreplan if the wait was too long. Turns out the entire heated patio is first come, first served, and we were seated almost immediately. It was one of those windy Indiana afternoons where the cold finds every gap in your jacket. I fully expected to spend lunch shivering. Somehow, the heated patio felt warmer than the restaurant itself. Between the TVs, football on every screen, and the patio heaters, we had zero complaints. Now let's talk about the famous pepperoni-stuffed breadsticks. They're a must. And order your own nacho cheese. Seriously. Don't expect anyone to share. I could eat a shoe dipped in their cheese and probably enjoy every bite. The breadsticks always arrive piping hot, stuffed with gooey mozzarella, and if we're judging on a cheese-pull scale...I'm giving them a solid 7/10 on the stretch meter. As for our server, Zach...what a true gem. He's one of those people I'd honestly be surprised to hear anyone say they didn't like. Funny, quick with the jokes, and somehow kept up with the chaos without missing a beat. He also made sure my lemon drop martinis never had a chance to get lonely. Since I wasn't driving, he happily assisted me in...staying hydrated. The place was busy enough that we couldn't stand around chatting long, but he's the kind of person you'd genuinely enjoy running into again. We've been here twice now, and both visits have been consistently great. Whether you're stopping in to catch the game, escape the cold on the heated patio, or simply satisfy a craving for those ridiculously good breadsticks, Ale Emporium continues to be one of our favorite spots. Just don't skip the breadsticks...and trust me, order your own cheese. You'll understand after the first bite.

I've been here before. I'm not sure why I haven't reviewed it. I had 12 of the Cajun dry rub wings…read morewith their extra hot sauce on the side and the blue cheese was outstanding. The wings came out hot all the way to the bone. I really liked them. They were crunchy. Good seasoning some of the best wings I've had especially in the area.

Sure, less money that came out hot crunchy flavorful and they're extra hot. Buffalo sauce is really good.. Service is always friendly and attentive

Great atmosphere, service that stayed attentive across the whole table all night, and a room that made a work dinner feel like an actual night out. No small thing for a group that size. I ordered the Chipotle Chicken Quesadilla with fresh salsa and guacamole. Everything tasted like it was made that day. The quesadilla was crispy, well filled, and gone faster than I planned. The DT Old Fashioned was well built and needed no explanation. Both did their jobs. Gratuity was already added for the group, which is fair. The check split individually without drama. Fifteen people, zero chaos. The Force was clearly with the staff that evening. Five stars. Good food, good service, good night.

The service was fantastic! Our waitress was attentive and funny too! She checked on us various times and even joined in singing a bit when we were jamming out to the Avril Lavigne song that was playing LOL District tap is always a cool and casual vibe. They have a huge TVs which are awesome to watch when big sport events are happening like IU football games. If you haven't tried coming here, do yourself a favor and head over !

Great drinks. Cool ambiance. Hot- turn on the A/C…read more I really enjoyed Thieves. It has a unique atmosphere with a mix of people doing their own thing. Some were quietly relaxing while others were catching up over drinks. The coffeehouse-meets-cocktail-bar aesthetic is well executed and gives the space a distinct personality. I ordered the nonalcoholic Basil Needs a Break, and it was excellent. If you like basil, this drink definitely delivers. It was bright, refreshing, and very basil-forward. The service was friendly and welcoming. My only complaint was the temperature inside. It was nearly 100 degrees outside, but the bar felt warm with very little air circulation. It was almost refreshing to step back into the muggy heat after leaving, which probably isn't the feeling you're hoping to give your guests. I'd definitely come back for the drinks and atmosphere, but I'd hope for a cooler temp next time.

From the moment I walked in, I was obsessed with the atmosphere and all the thoughtful details that make the space feel so unique. I love that it effortlessly transforms from a cozy coffee shop by day into a cocktail bar at night--the vibes are immaculate no matter when you visit. The staff was exceptional and so helpful in walking me through the menu. One of my favorite things to do is ask the baristas what they recommend, and they definitely didn't disappoint. I went with a blueberry vanilla iced latte, and it was the perfect way to kick off my Friday.

There were tons of gaming spots, the music was ON POINT, and the food was great!  I imagine it's a super fun place on the weekends or a game night!

We found out that you had to order drinks and food at the bar because there was no server. It was late afternoon early evening time. I got wings and fries. Wings were good and reheated well. My friend got mozzarella sticks and was disappointed to only get three mozzarella sticks, even though the menu said six. When she asked, she was told that the menu hadn't been updated yet.

I sat at the bar, and was able to catch some of the Olympics which was nice!

I enjoyed the stone ground mustard, and there was an interesting fermented pepper sort of deal on there was well which I wasn't mad at! Glad I was able to stop in!

Our server was pretty great, and up front about wait times. We went when the kitchen has a crew shortage, so there was a wait for food. For appetizers: nachos were great, but if you ordered a simple nacho, it's meh, we had to add several things and added $$ to make it REAL nachos. The dip for the pork rinds was good. The table ordered truffle fries, they finished it. It was our first time trying Upland beers. Most of the options are IPA and tart beers. None of which I like. The mixed drinks menu was meh, they offer 2 hard ciders, but one was unavailable. Our server let us try samples and she was very patient. For main dishes: I ordered a Salmon BLT. I DO NOT RECOMMEND. I didn't eat it with the bun, salmons was very thin, 1 piece of bacon, slice of tomato and 1 piece of lettuce. We had mac and cheese, DO NOT ORDER, it was floating in fat and there's no taste to it. Fish and chips was okay. The pizza was the highlight, it saved the night, I think. Bathrooms clearly labeled, easily seen, and clean. For 6 people, 2 of whom did not have alcoholic drinks (just water), our bill with tip was over $350. I would not come back here again, I had a better time and better food at other breweries.

The MashCraft IPA is really, really good. This was one of the beers I got in my beer flight, and it…read morewas my favorite. I'd even go so far as to say that this is one of the better IPAs I've had in a long while. Beer flights at MashCraft are generous 6-ounce pours. You get four of them, and there are 16 different beers, ciders and sours to choose from. I got the Prickly Dragon (a sour with notes of prickly pear and dragonfruit), the MashCraft IPA (yumyumyum and my favorite, as we already established), Squeeze the Juice (an New England IPA), and Triple Jam from Blake's Hard Cider, which was too sweet for me and tasted a little like cough syrup. They also offer wine and cocktails here, but I didn't see them on the menu. I was told this verbally by our extremely gregarious and outgoing server. One cool thing about this MashCraft is that they have an outdoor pickle ball court! When I was there, it was being occupied by families with children who were running around the court, but hypothetically, one can play pickle ball at this brewery.

My friend and I needed last minute Halloween plans. After scouring Facebook events, we saw…read moreMashcraft was having Halloween trivia. I haven't had the chance to dine here before, but drive past it often. Service was top notch from the moment we walked in. Our server was so friendly, welcoming and eager to ensure we had a wonderful time. The menu isn't huge, but they have a lot of unique items. The chicken sandwich I had was delicious, but it was a bit messy. My friend also enjoyed her burger which was the special of the month. We ordered the special drink from Halloween, and it was tasty. I did think $10 was a bit high for what was essentially a vodka and sprite. Trivia was also a blast. They had cute prizes for the holiday and we even ended up winning a gift card. Not bad for free trivia. The host did a great job and made everyone feel welcome. The pickleball court also looked fun if the weather was nicer. Can't wait to come back.
