Miracle on South is such a fun + cute holiday pop up! It's decorated beautifully and there are…read moreChristmas movies playing on the projector. Parking is a little bit of a struggle if you don't want to pay for the garage but we were able to find a spot close by after a little searching. The event is located inside the City Way Gallery on the first floor (next to Yolk). It wasn't too busy on a Thursday night and there were plenty of good seating options. There are also lots of board games available so it would be fun to go with a big group and play. Drink-wise the menu was pretty extensive but there were no mocktails on it. Usually this isn't an issue, but since the drinks were pre-batched they couldn't turn the drinks into alcohol-free versions. The staff were nice enough to find us some canned mocktails, however. They also have some cute food options for people that don't drink, like milk and cookies and cupcakes. Overall, I was very impressed with the event and will likely be back with different friends this season. The only feedback I have is to include some mocktails on the menu for those of us that don't drink but want to come for the vibes.

This pop up bar came to indy last year and it was in a nice heated tent just outside of the…read moreAlexander, this year when I had some family in town I wanted them to experience it as well and was pleased to find out that it as in a big room on the inside of the Alexander. Still a fun Christmas explosion, you get your ID checked by a sign that asks if you have had 21 Christmas yet, the inside has a mess of colorful fun tinsel decorations, couches and Christmas pictures from the staffs childhood. The menu is awesome my hats off to whomever thought it up, every cocktail is Christmas themed. I went with the kolalalalalala made with gin it was light and refreshing. I was sad to have missed the Christmas music, I believe when we went since it was a Saturday night they were playing more popular songs. Great service and awesome activity for Christmas

We visited Mayfair on Thursday for the Damien Center's 32nd Annual Dine Out for Life. It was only…read moreour second time in but I'm so glad we came. Mayfair is a quaint space that definitely feels at home on the East side. The decor is as eclectic as the clientele, but you'll feel warm and welcome no matter who you are. The food was delicious and the staff were extremely friendly. Also, as a sober guy, I appreciated their wide selection of NA beers. Whether you're a regular or a newbie, you'll be welcome at Mayfair.

Love it here. First of all, I haven't seen a $3 beer in ages, but on top of that, the food is…read moregreat. There are several vegetarian and vegan options, and if you eat meat, also some gluten free options on the menu. I love the falafel burger and their fries are amazing. I have only been on Sunday evenings during trivia, and it's usually super chill with great, friendly service.

The service felt just like I was going to my Auntees house after school and she said chile come on in and wash your hands I'll make you a snack! The atmosphere reminds me of my old neighborhood in Detroit where you can walk to the penny candy store, liquor store and local dinner all within a 1/2 mile.

I'm not sure if the catering is set up by the venue or the host, but it was very nice. You can rent the building that includes several bedrooms. Based on the tour, it seemed the home still has most of it's original features. There is quite a bit of parking available and you don't find a TV in every room so it's perfect to stay a bit off the grid. I look forward to coming back for one of their hosted events to see what else there is to offer.

We booked this place to stay while being there for the Indy 500. The innkeepers, Stephanie and…read moreDanny were great. We couldn't have asked for better service. They did a great breakfast and made it a personal interest that we were happy there. They were easy to talk to and made us feel very comfortable and welcome. In between going to events we got to relax and have some good conversations with them about things to do in Indianapolis. They are the jem of this place. The house is very historical. We love the architecture and the character it carries. It felt like living back in time before tv's and cell phones took our time from us. Very clean. I slept like a rock in the comfortable bed. I am thankful these places still exist and the atmosphere that brings family together. I can't wait to stay there again next year.

It has been over ten years since my original review of Fort Ben Pub, a locally owned pub and grill…read moretype establishment located in the Fort Ben area in the same strip center that includes Moo & Lou's Ice Cream and Phaya Thai. There's a wheelchair ramp in the middle of the building - I'll be honest, I don't quite trust it as I've noticed people in this parking area tend to block it without noticing it. There's also easy access from a ramp at the end of the building. Lawrence has done quite a bit to improve their curb cuts in this area, an area that has grown massively since my last review including 2-3 apartment buildings, a library branch, and an improved civic plaza. Fort Ben Pub itself is pretty accessible, though it becomes less so when it's packed (for example, my most recent visit was on a Friday karaoke night and accessibility was definitely more limited). There's two glass doors going inside the pub and, yes, they do offer a few tables on the sidewalk for outside dining. As you enter, you arrive in a large dining area with a beautiful bar to the right. The restaurant is decorated in warm woods with a few televisions of varying sizes and, on this evening, background music playing. On this visit, I was with a festival after-party that was placed off the main area in a smaller area that had two pool tables along with a variety of food/appetizers, etc. It's a cozy room that gave me a chance to check out the rest of the building. I did see the restrooms, which I would definitely not consider accessible - plan accordingly. I could possibly get in the door of the men's restroom, but it was quite tight and I have a smaller chair. This is a beloved place for a friend of mine who lives nearby and within walking distance. They treat her well. She was there during this visit, and I honestly just smiled at their clear affection for her (it's mutual). I love places that become community, and knowing this makes me want to return. That said, my accessibility concerns do somewhat limit my options. Fort Ben Pub does offer space for private events/groups and does catering. They have pool tables, Putt Putt live, Mega Touch, and Golden Tee and most of the sports network channels. While I'd tried both their tenderloin and burger in the past, I had a variety of items this time around due to the after-party, though not everything it seems was on the menu (or I'm just not recognizing it). As I noted previously and my friend also proves, the employees are super friendly and helpful. There are definitely times when it gets busy, though it's also pretty easy to come here during slower times. This particular visit was the first time I'd experienced accessibility issues. There's an awful lot to love here. I have to say that while I wasn't in the room with karaoke, the people were having a blast with such sincere enthusiasm that I was almost in awe. I've done karaoke one time in my life, and I don't think there's enough alcohol in the world to fuel another attempt. I also know from being close to the folks at Moo & Lou that these businesses watch out for each other - which I really like as it's a nice little safety factor. In the end, my star rating isn't changing but my appreciation for Fort Ben Pub has grown. This visit made me want to return in the near future, and it made me grateful for those places where you can get so comfortable that it feels like the people become part of your village. That's Fort Ben Pub.
