Who visits a restaurant specifically for the tinned fish? This person, right here. Although apparently, Gather 22 only has tinned fish listed on their dinner menu, and I visited during lunchtime. But the kind server asked the kitchen if they would oblige me, considering that I visited JUST for the tinned fish. And they did! What great service! So, my dream came true and I finally got my tinned fish from Gather 22. And what a dish! The tinned fish comes served on a wooden board with the sardines still in the can, plus grilled crostini, pickled red onions, mayo, butter and a grilled half of a lemon. They give you the components, and you gotta assemble your own little tasty bites. What I did was take a piece of crostini, spread some mayonnaise on the bread, then added sardines and pickled onion, then squeezed a little lemon over everything. It was a salty, savory, acidic, delectable little snack. It exceeded my expectations. Indeed, I visited this restaurant for the tinned fish. But since I was there, I thought I would also get a Caesar salad and some poutine. A Caesar and fries is a classic, but when you add gravy and mozzarella cheese balls? Delightful. The Caesar salad is exactly the way a Caesar should be made: with breadcrumbs instead of croutons. Real heads know that breadcrumbs are God tier, and beat hard nuggets of bread all day, every day. The Caesar salad comes with chunks of chicken by default, but you can ask for no chicken. The fries in the poutine were good -- some were crispy, and some were deliciously soggy from the gravy. (Soggy in the best way.) The gravy in this poutine is white gravy, and it comes with balls of mozzarella cheese, which are a nice Easter egg as you fork your way through the poutine. I don't usually order cocktails (I'm a wine lady), but one of the cocktails jumped out at me from the menu: the Jintoniku, which is made with Japanese gin, botanicals and tonic. I could tell that it would be simple, clean and nicely herbacious, and I was right! They serve it with peppercorns and a straw, and if you use the straw, you will end up sucking up hard peppercorns, which is kind of annoying. But as I'm typing this, I realize that maybe I should have just ditched the straw and sipped the drink from the glass. Wow! I'm kind of dumb sometimes. Anyway, the Jintoniku was amazing, and it's a great choice if you love gin like I do. Gather 22 has lots of interesting seating: bar seating, booth seating, table seating, and even a sauna bus to sit in if you're feeling like a schvitz. I believe you have to book that in advance, though. read more

A group of 6 of us decided to do dinner here. We had a reservation for 7:45. The food and atmosphere were alright, but the service was the worst I've ever experienced. We were seated right away, but our server didn't get to us until 15-20 minutes after. We ordered our entrees with our drinks and (I'm not exaggerating) it took two hours to get our food. Throughout those two hours our server maybe checked in with us twice, despite the restaurant being empty. The manager came by and apologized and offered us free gelato and discounted some apps. We declined. She said "not sure what's going on - something is off tonight". I had a similar experience in the past here and was hoping they worked through the kinks- apparently not. Definitely won't be going back or recommending to anyone read more

As traveling healthcare workers new to the area, we're on the hunt for go to spots, and we're happy to say we found a gem at Gather 22. From the moment we walked in, we were met with genuine kindness and warm acknowledgment, which immediately set the tone. That welcoming energy carried through the entire experience, and thankfully, the food more than lived up to it. We started with the ricotta doughnuts, which felt like a special indulgence since we don't usually eat sugar...and they were absolutely worth it. Light, fluffy, not greasy, with just the right amount of sweetness. The accompanying sauces paired perfectly and elevated every bite. We also shared the Sunrise pizza, and it was excellent. The flavors were well balanced, the ingredients tasted fresh, and the crust was perfectly crispy and delicious. I ordered one of their specialty coffees, and it did not disappoint. Every coffee and brunch cocktail we saw around us looked just as impressive...clearly a place that takes pride in both flavor and presentation. If you're looking for a brunch spot with good food, standout drinks, and a welcoming, upbeat atmosphere, we'd absolutely recommend giving Gather 22 a try. It's definitely earned a spot on our regular rotation. read more

Gather 22 is such a cool place with a trendy vibe! The walls are covered with beautiful modern art. The outdoor patio space is awesome with blankets for the cold weather. The dining areas are interesting and private. Gentle rock plays overhead. We stopped for lunch. I felt like I was on vacation. Eva, our server, was friendly and checked on us several times. The food came out super quick. The menu is an interesting mix of handhelds, bowls and pizzas. My husband and I shared a Hey Zeus pizza (thin crust). The pepperoni and sausage toppings were very good. The banana peppers added an interesting tang. The crust was ultra thin - I would have preferred it to be a little more crispy, but it was good. There is limited private parking and nearby free street parking. Gather 22 is a perfect and relaxing venue for meeting people for drinks, food and conversation or a special day out with family. read more

Very cute atmosphere! When you first walk in there's a bar to the left and seats straight ahead. The host walked us back to the back patio area that was themed (there was another bar on our way to the back!) This place is bigger than you'd think! The theme was ski, sleigh themed like if you went to a ski resort. They had a sauna on a school bus in the back yard area outside the window view. Which was intriguing. I originally wanted to get food, but tbh the menu was a bit out of my element to understand at the time so I got a drink, Brooklyn baby! It was cute. The menu was themed and very well aligned with the decor. Our waiter was adorable and attentive. And told us they do more fun stuff with the space in the summer. We found out they do drag race watch parties. Will be back for that & more food and bevvies! read more

Im always in the area as the restaurant is right next to the Bulldog Liquidators downtown but had never dined here. Came in with some friends. The ambiance is lovely and eclectic and the music is entertaining but not too loud to make conversation hard. Service was good overall. We ordered some starters - Korean sausage skewers and balsamic glazed brussel sprouts. Both were delicious and seasoned to perfection. For our main, my friends ordered a custom pizza and the seabass and I got the pork belly with creamy polenta and mole sauce. My friend also tried a cocktail that was recommended by our server. Will definitely dine again. read more

Out and about in downtown Indy, stopped in Gathering 22 enjoyed a great wine selection and appetizers. Would give @Gathering22 five stars but we are not fans of the burnt edges of the Pizza. Pepperoni pizza was delicious if you don't eat crust? Korean sausage was delicious and unexpected flavorful with dipping sauces to ad to the flavor experience. The Pear Toast was a great appetizer option and again sometimes you try something with minimal expectations and you walk away blown away by the flavors and textures. Mak assisted us with navigating #HappyHour options and described menu items Well! The Patio provided for an enjoyable atmosphere on the seasons first warm day in indianapolis @indydiner. read more

We had poor service from the get go, despite it not being a crowded night. We were sat next to the bathrooms and it was not enjoyable as 1) there was a line of 6 people outside them at one point since there's only 2 single stall rooms 2) you could hear everything inside. Enjoyed the interesting pizza choices and had a well balanced unique drink. It's quite pricey for what you get and given the other experiences, I am not itching to go back. read more

Gather 22 - Industry Sour - Pizza Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

To my detriment, I don't travel downtown as much as I used to. Back in the day, I would be so excited to travel into the city and experience all it has to offer. Alas, the doldrums of middle-age tend to get one stuck in the suburban rut. Don't get me wrong, the suburbs offer myriad restaurants and bars offering great food and drink. But when you are willing to travel inside the city, you may discover more than you bargain for. You may just discover something inside yourself, as well. (This is what happens when you write reviews at 3:30am!) Gather 22 is a hidden gem near the heart of Indy. I visited for a couple drinks and a small bite to eat. I think it was an early Sunday evening, and it was a perfect night to sit out on their back patio just before the sun started going down. The menu is interesting and varied, inspired by the world travels of the owners. I know this because our server told me, but also because a kind gentleman walking around asked me what I thought of my drink that was infused with chorizo oil (it was lovely, by the way, with just the right amount of spice). He then went on to tell me the story of his travels that inspired the drink. "Oh, this is one of the owners," I realized. Such a brief, yet wonderful, interaction. You can tell they take pride in their restaurant and its menu. The service was great, the food was amazing and the drinks hit just right. After paying, we visited the outdoor swings. It is a great space to sit outside and relax and breathe. I look forward to returning to Gather 22. From what I understood, they change their menu somewhat frequently (maybe quarterly?). Not so often that you can't go back and get a dish you may be craving, but also enough to keep a fresh menu based on new travels. Next time, I may even order the tinned fish. My friend and fellow Yelper pointed out that there is no picture of the fish on Yelp and that needs to be remedied soon. So, I need to beat her to the punch! lol She already has 22,000 photos and over a million views in the last 90 days (Yelp royalty!), so let me have this one! Naw, she can have it. She is much more passionate about tinned fish than I am. But I did eat some sardines in the car as a snack, once, before heading into a movie. Has she done that? Yeah, probably. read more

Finally got to try this place out! As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the host and seated pretty quickly since we had reservations. We ordered the pica pica chicken skewers (very good) and the brown butter potatoes with fried sage and Parmesan--both were delicious starters. For our mains, we went with two specialty pizzas. One was the Cheesus, made with white sauce, feta, ricotta, and hot honey. The other was the Big Ideas pie with fig jam, ricotta, bacon, and caramelized onions. Both pizzas were divine! Giving this spot 4 stars because my pizza was quite burnt, and the presentation of the chicken skewers was a bit off, as the chicken was falling apart. Regardless, everything still tasted amazing! read more

It showed I had previously been here but I have no recollection lol. It could have been a dash order. So now I have officially been for brunch. I'm so mad it wasn't that warm so I could lay in the hammocks. That's the best part of the venue ha. Instead of grits they used rice porridge in my dish which was interesting. I order the vegan meat and it was super flavorful. The drinks are pretty addicting so go and have a cocktail or two. read more

This place is really cute and they had availability to fit a group of 7 on Sunday for brunch. I like that they also have an outdoor space. The food was not very good, my corn bread Benedict was beyond bland and my egg was way over cooked. The French toast was pretty good. My maple coffee tasted like milk. Server was nice, but the service was extremely slow. read more

My husband and I met up with my sister and BIL to celebrate my BIL's birthday. We each tried a different cocktail for our first round of drinks and they were all so good. My sister and I each felt like we could sip on ours all day. I had The Fitzgerald, my husband had the Bourbon Reign, BIL had the Oxnard Negroni, and my sister had the Dew Drop. For our second round of drinks (later on) the boys opted to have the same drinks and my sister and I each tried the Talihina Sky (so good, but I forgot to snap a photo of that one). For an appetizer, we all split the Korean sausage skewers and while they were tasty, they were served in an almost comical way that wasn't the most practical. They oil from the sausages kept dripping down onto the table before we dismantled everything and then it was difficult to remove/split the vegetables and olives. We all agreed that be gochujang mustard sauce was amazing/the favorite over the kimchi ranch. For mains, my sister had the smokey wedge salad, my BIL had the thin crust forager pizza, and my husband and I each ordered the rice bowl and paid the extra $ for steak. Everyone loved their meal, but my husband felt like the additional $8 was too much for what we got, so I think we would stick with the pica pica chicken it comes with if we ordered it again. Our reservation had been for the veranda, but due to the on/off rain, we sat inside. I would love to come back and check out their patio/outside area next time! read more

Always have an amazing time at Gather! I've been for brunch, dinner, and special events. Cocktails are creative- obsessed with the Pickletini. They hosted an awesome bartending competition recently that was tons of fun. Brunch faves- Deviled eggs,fig & ricotta french toast, miso eggs. Dinner- Any of the pizzas, the burger. Burger, shot, and a beer for $20 during happy hour! Staff here are all rock stars. I feel so welcome every single time I'm there. read more

We went here for date night and it was the right choice!! The space is beautifully decorated with lots to take in and really good music (at least that day). We ordered the egg and chicken apps and beers to start. Then we ordered two pizzas to share. The server was great and friendly. Checked on us often and was gracious! They have parking in the side. Can't wait to go again! Being so close to other spaces we found ourselves walking to Mashcraft brewery after! read more

Good gravy. Have you ever had a meal served to you by like a 9-year-old who's seen cooking shows and really wants to do a good job but has no clue what she's doing? That was our experience here. Drip coffee was undrinkable bean water. Sweet potato hash was saccharine sweet moosh to the core that would have easily passed for Gerber baby food. We switched out the terrible drip coffee for Americanos that were inexplicably served in cappuccino mugs. I literally can't even. read more

She sent me home with 1.5 pizza which was very kind and nice! The burger looked good and all the drinks were fun! I would come back to try more! read more

This place is definitely getting by with the patio!! Waited 30 min to be seated inside after asking to sit outside when there were plenty of open tables inside. This normally would have been fine, but I specifically asked to sit outside and said we'd wait--if sitting outside was not an option, we would not have waited here. We waited 10 min for drink service and were not checked on again for about 40 minutes. The drink was just okay and definitely not worth $13. The sandwich was $20 with no side and was okay, but also not worth it. It was basically French toast with a few thin slices of ham, turkey, and cheese, and they didn't add the powdered sugar. I would not return. This is the worst experience I've had in a while. read more

Super cute vibe, especially the outdoor area with hammocks and places to lounge around. Came here for brunch and the food was delicious! The breakfast flatbread was the star, and the eggs benedict on top of corn bread was really unique and flavorful. They did overcook the poached eggs so the yolk wasn't runny but it was still fine to eat. The service was a bit slow, it took us a while to get seated even though we had a reservation and the restaurant wasn't busy at all, the host seemed disorganized so we just had to stand around in a corner waiting until the table was ready. read more

2.5 stars if we are being specific, though I would go back to give this place another chance. My friend had the breakfast pizza and it was delicious. The cornbread Benedict could use some improvement. Maybe it would have been better had the poached eggs not been overcooked and not runny at all. And not sure what the deal was with the "spicy chicken" which was just chunks of chicken with not a lot of seasoning. I thought it would at least be a crispy chicken!! Overall it was just wet and crumbly cornbread with some pico mixed in. The coffee was great and vibes were cool. Good for kids too! read more

I've lived in Indy for 27 years, so please heed my advice when I say: YOU MUST GO TO GATHER 22. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If I could write a love letter to Gather 22 it would go something like this: Gather 22 is the loml. The second I walked in, I knew it was over for the other restaurants. The vibe? Immaculate. The cocktails? Defy gravity (literally on champagne towers). The menu? A creative masterpiece. Most importantly: the staff? Angels sent from heaven above. I would say never change but the best part about it is that the menu evolves and integrates new, inspired plates. Thank you for being the place where I can hammock with a glass of rosé. I will forever cherish you and the memories made while gathering. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ok now onto the food part (mostly weekend brunch items so keep that in mind but the lunch/dinner options also look incredible): -Breakfast Fried Rice with Chorizo 10/10 -Pica Chicken Skewers 10/10 -Roman Veg Pizza 10/10 -One time I just got eggs and bacon and those were fire 10/10 -Champagne Tower 10000/10 -Bloody Mary 10/10 -Roman Pepperoni Pizza (not pictured) 10/10 Massive shoutout to the server and bartender who gave me a champagne tower on a Friday because I didn't know it was strictly a weekend thing read more

This was the cutest little spot in an area I never would have imagined. I say that because as I was pulling in, I spotted an old apartment of mine just diagonal from the parking lot that used to stand with nothing close by. It's colorful inside and so much bigger than you'd think. Cocktails were tasty and the food was just the same. I had the rice bowl with steak. It was enough for a second meal. Our server didn't disappoint with her recommendations. I loved the patio area, but there was a party going on so we didn't sit there. I will certainly return! read more

The ambiance at Gather 22 can't be beat. We visited during a beautiful Saturday night and loved getting to sit out on the covered, screened in patio. The staff were very welcoming and eager to help us make our dinner choices as first time diners. We had the tinned fish, Caesar salad, and margherita pizza and loved them all. The thin Byrne's crust is always one of our favorite pizzas. We also tried multiple different drinks from their menu and thought they were all perfectly crafted. They are changing their menu this week and we can't wait to return to see what is added. One added bonus is that there is a great protected bike path connecting the Gather 22 location to the monon (along 22nd street) so we can't wait to make this a regular "bike to dinner" spot! read more

Enjoyed our experience here at gather 22. Came in on a weekend night, and place wasn't too busy. We were seated quickly, and our waitress greeted us not too shortly after. The place was nice and updated on the inside and felt very clean. Not too loud, but more of an intimate atmosphere. I had a cocktail while here. Can't for the life of me remember what it's called, nor what was in it, but it was tasty. Strong, but not overpowering. Italian sandwich was great. Bread was crunchy, meat wasn't slimy, vegetables were fresh. Side salad was good- nothing to write home about. Overall, would definitely return to try out some other items on the menu! read more

I can only rate it by my experience with the "Spring Tea" special they had. Loved the interior decor. Service was amazing. We were seated in the outside patio for the tea. The patio was excruciating hot. The tea experience was ok. I was slightly disappointed by the lack of pretty teapots. I know it sounds silly but it's part of the experience. The two teas we received were good, however it hadn't steeped long enough with our first pour, and the second pour the tea was stronger and flavorful but the temperature was lukewarm. The tea came with a massive scone that was good. The sandwiches were ok and the sweet treats on top were a hit and miss. Sadly the pistachio chocolate was my least favorite. Overall it was a bit expensive for a somewhat ok experience $71. read more
