Thieves has stolen my heart. What a great place to enjoy a spritz while lounging on one of their…read morelovely velvet couches. In fact, they have five different spritzes on the menu, which I love to see. Of course, they have the classic Aperol spritz. But they also have some creative takes, like the rose spritz, which is what I chose. It was very tasty, light and refreshing, and not too floral, which can happen with a rose-flavored beverage. Spritzes are amazing but not enough sometimes, so I also got a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon. Yum! The pour was generous. I kept my drink orders simple this visit, but Thieves has a whole menu full of creative cocktails. What you do when you enter is just sit down, and someone will come by and take your order. But if you're visiting for coffee (because Thieves is also a coffee bar), you can order at the counter. I don't recall if they offer food. This is mostly a place to get drinks. And it's a lovely place to get drinks. Thieves is located in the heart of Broad Ripple, which means that parking is atrocious. I parked near The Vogue and walked over, but maybe you can find street parking, if you're lucky.

The space is cozy with large windows and garage doors- similar vibe to its former days as West Fork Whiskey. Why only three stars? The woman taking orders was painfully unfriendly.

It's a shame because the drip coffee was delightful and I appreciated their high top bar with outlets. I'm a big believer that coffee shops are 50% about coffee and 50% about the experience/feeling of community. I'll visit again and hope for a more warm experience next time.

I'd been wanting to check out SoBro's Social Cantina for quite awhile, however, my schedule lately…read morehas been a bit bonkers and it's just far enough out of my way that I simply haven't made it. I'd taken the day off of work today. With a couple hours for lunch between obligations, I decided to finally stop in. This location of Social Cantina is at 46th and College on the Southeast corner in what used to be Gallery Pastry Shop (and before that it was the restaurant owned by Kimbal Musk - the slightly more normal Musk brother, though that's admittedly a low bar). Social Cantina is a Mexican joint that serves up tacos, classic entrees, lots of margaritas, and a few other items. They have daily specials including weekday lunch specials. They have their own parking lot with a couple accessible spots. In an extreme rarity, they have automatic doors (this is a leftover from Musk's place, though I like that they've kept it - I will say the first of two doors acted a little wonky today). They have a 1,000-square foot outdoor patio that is dog-friendly. Part of it is covered. I arrived around noon on a Monday for lunch. As I've nearly always seen people here when driving by, I was surprised to be the only customer. It stayed this way the entire time I was present. The atmosphere is contemporary, and the background music definitely leaned into American pop/rock/alt. I thought the music was a wee bit loud, but it wasn't overly bothersome. I ordered a chicken tinga quesadilla which included a large flour tortilla stuffed with mixed cheese and tinga marinated chicken served with chopped romaine, pico de gallo, roasted red salsa, and tomatillo crema. I ordered my usual iced tea. The bill came in about $21 - I should note that the quesadilla is an entree, and it's one of the higher priced items. However, it's completely worth it. It was delicious. I did get my always desired iced tea refill. Given the lightness of the crowd, the energy was light. There was one employee up front (I'm guessing manager), though he was joined by another one before I'd left. Of course, there were folks in the back. Social Cantina was founded in 2018. It's part of the Finney Hospitality Group that includes The Tap, Smokeworks, Yogis, and Kind Car Wash. I enjoyed my visit and would easily return. The menu, which also includes Cantina Bowls, isn't quite as extensive as some Mexican joints. However, I enjoyed it quite a bit and I really want to visit when it's hopping a bit more. I would note that nearly every business on this corner is territorial about parking. Signage indicates that. Social Cantina has a decent-sized parking lot, and there's street parking around it. Plus, it's directly on the red line with a stop practically right next to it. I also found the restrooms, which are single-user and unisex, pretty wheelchair friendly (though there were some chairs somewhat blocking the aisle - I was able to make it work). I'll for sure be back.

Visited for Mother's Day with family. The atmosphere was nice and the service was good, which made…read morefor a pleasant experience overall. The food was a bit mixed for me. I tried the carnitas taco, shrimp taco, and pork belly taco. The carnitas taco was very dry at first, although one bite later had more flavor (and quite a bit of fat). The shrimp taco tasted undercooked to me and was also pretty bland. The pork belly pieces were actually delicious and flavorful, but the taco included jalapeños, which made it difficult for me to enjoy since I'm sensitive to spice. So I couldn't enjoy that. On the positive side, I tasted my daughter's birria tacos and thought they were delicious. We also had chips and esquites. The chips were flavorful, and while the esquites itself had good flavor, I'm not sure it really worked as a dip for me personally. Overall, I think some of this came down to personal taste and menu choices. My tacos weren't quite what I had hoped for on a special Mother's Day outing, but I would likely come back to try the birria tacos after tasting those.

We stopped by Turner's while attending an event at The Stutz. After debating venturing out into…read morewinter weather and playing the downtown parking hunger games, we decided staying in the building was the move. Convenience: 10/10. Turner's itself is a good sized establishment with a pool table and a few different seating areas, which makes it feel like a solid spot to hang out whether you're there for drinks, food, or killing time before an event. They also have a cut out window where you can order Julieta Tacos, which is a really cool option if you want to mix things up food wise without leaving the space. We grabbed seats at the bar where a bartender (didn't catch her name) greeted us and handed over menus. I mentioned we were there for the Devour menu and was told it was over... which was interesting since Turner's website was still advertising it earlier that same morning. After a quick check with a manager, they honored it, which we definitely appreciated because nothing says "Devour disappointment" like ghosted food promos. The Devour deal included a hot dog, chips, and a cocktail. I ordered the Miami Vice and honestly, no notes. Solid drink. We also got to pick snack sized chip bags hanging behind the bar, which felt a little like choosing snacks at a gas station, but hey, variety is variety. Now for the plot twist... We were told our hot dogs were ready and to grab them from the warmer. Exciting, right? Except when we opened the warmer, the foil wrapped hot dogs were... cold. Cold. Like they, too, were braving the Indiana winter. When we let staff know, there was a bit of a team huddle on how to handle it, which felt slightly awkward and unorganized. It also felt like we accidentally became "those customers," simply for wanting our hot dogs to be warm. Thankfully, another bartender, Andre, stepped in like the calm in the storm. He got fresh hot dogs warmed up and brought them out and he continued checking on us for the rest of our visit, which honestly saved the experience. Overall: Cocktails were good, the location is super convenient if you're already at The Stutz, and shoutout to Andre for turning things around! That said, I can probably check Turner's off my list and doubt I'll make a trip back unless I'm already at The Stutz & if I do return, it would likely be for drinks only!

Tried this place as they were a stop during the St. Patty's day bar crawl. Now, by time we got here…read moresis was fairly toasted and starved. Haha. I had the gumbo and recalled it being yummy but again I was starving. Fast forward, I finished my nail appointment in ripple and had t eaten so I thought I give them a try. I got there early as the kitchen doesn't open until 5(not for sure if that's everyday). So I had a 15-20 minute wait which was totally okay with me. I asked my server which should I get: burger or wings and she suggested burger and I got the gumbo. The burger was underwhelming. Nothing special and the patty could have been a little thicker. I did appreciate the freshness of the burger salad. I like to cut my burgers. So I got up from my area and walked to the bar to ask for one. Didn't mind that at all but this is where I have a side eye. My server gets up and is like "I believe there are some back here" referring to their patio area. Proceeds to point in that direction and doesn't grab it for me. Smh. I remind her about the gumbo she apologizes and comes back out with it about 10 min or so later. The gumbo indeed was tasty. Has a nice kick that's not too much. However I could have used more meat. I had 4 quartered sausages only. The gumbo was my favorite and I'd return there for that. My rating is based on the spotty service. While she checked in on me, having me grab my Own knife after she got up did not sit well especially since at the time I was the only person there. And also the burger itself wasn't super filling.
