I have been here multiple times just to play darts and get some food and drinks. The multiple times I have been here it has not disappoint me. The prices for drinks and food are very reasonable. I never spend a lot of money here. Customer service is great and they make sure you are okay while here. The atmosphere is chill and it is typically not a lot of people in here. I love the chill vibes here. If you are looking for somewhere that is chill and the prices are very reasonable then come check this place out in castleton area. They have pool and darts. read more

Whoever the manager is tonight is a giant man child. I ordered a wrap with no tomatoes and add onion, it took 25min to come out. And came with tomatoes, sent it back, then they didn't put onions, was frustrated at that point so I sent it back. He came out to ask how he can fix it, I said I didn't want another, I didn't wanna wait for it again. He gets an attitude and says this ain't McDonald's do you know how a kitchen works? I said yea I know how to follow a ticket, I guess they don't here. So he kicked me out and made a huge scene, was quite comical. A grown man acting that way. I hope the owners see this and take action, losing good paying customers. Because of someone's little man complex read more

Last minute choice because we just wanted some good wings. It was close & convenient. Not exactly my kind of vibe initially but the food was worth it, i'll be back for sure. Service was super quick. I love that they don't wait until all your food is done to bring it out. We smashed. read more

We went there for their Diamond Pool tables, and boy they did not disappoint. Our drinks were well balanced and tasted great. Throughout the week they offer many specials for drinks and food, too many to list in the review. Drink prices were appropriate, and the bartending and staff were exceptional! We did not have any food this time, but everything that we saw others order, made my husband and I both say that we want to come back for a bite to eat next time. They have at least 12 Diamond pool tables, spaced out nicely for playing. There was a tournament being played when we arrived, and a nice gentleman told us (without even needing to ask) that table 8 was open. The tables are $1.50 a game, which is a decent price for Diamond tables, however they offer free pool Monday through Saturday from 3-6. We will definitely be coming back earlier in the day to play on the tables for free next time. The bar also had a DJ playing when we were there on a Saturday, and they offer many other activities throughout the week from karaoke to trivia nights. There is a nice outside seating area with TV's and speakers to catch your favorite game as well. read more

Kip's Pub - Diamond Pool tables. - Pool Halls Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Great place to play pool and play darts They got awesome food and great service, this is our favorites pub! Pricing is great, they got tons of pool tables, live bands, live trivia, music bingo on different nights, and just a great time every time I've heard they recently got a new ownership in March '22 but it still the great Kip's pub we know :) read more

I just wanted to take a moment to shout out Elayne, one of the best bartenders I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. Whether you're a regular or just stopping by, Elayne always makes everyone feel welcome and at home. Her attention to detail, creativity with cocktails, and warm personality truly set her apart. Today being her last day is bittersweet--she'll be missed immensely, but I know she'll shine wherever life takes her next. Thank you, Elayne, for all the memories, laughter, and impeccable drinks. Cheers to you and your next chapter! read more

While we were in the area last night we decided to visit Kip's for food and drinks. The bar was packed with patrons for trivia night along with a pool/dart competition. You can find bar seating or some table seating spread all around the pub. We found a table close to the bar. The waitress brought us menus fairly quick. I ordered an angry orchard to drink and split a shareable BBQ wings appetizer with my husband. The portions of the food are massive and it tasted great too. The layout of the pub was a bit confusing and haphazard. They also had a lot of storage items sort of laying around close to tables which made it hard to sit. Overall it was a nice meal and we had a good time. read more

I went to this pub last night and I ordered the Cajun chicken quesadillas, I was on my last quesadilla and I noticed two strands of hair on the plate. i didn't realize until the food was nearly consumed completely. the two strands of hair was UNDER the food which is why I couldn't see it before eating the food. I talked to the GM and his response was "that's wild". no compassion or urgency to try to appease my mind. he actually tried to blame me instead. I didn't ask for my money back or the food to remade, just wanted to bring to his attention that someone in the kitchen is not being precautious while preparing food. instead of making excuses or trying to blame the customer, at least act like you care. his customer service was horrible and I don't appreciate being blamed for hair being in my food. I could've consumed someone else's hair and not know. Will not be eating there again. read more

My first time at this bar and I'll for sure never go back. Me and a couple buddies were going to meet up with my buddy to play some pool. We grabbed a couple beers and hadn't even been there for 5 minutes, we're getting ready to head over to the tables, as we are on the way to the table the bartender stops us and says "you guys have to leave" so we ask why? She says "idk the manager (or owner) said y'all have to go". So we asked if we could get an explanation she said "no y'all just have to leave". So we left without and issues. My friend who goes there often asked for an explanation and they said we had been there before and caused problems even though it was our first time there. Me and my friends never try to cause problems, we just wanted to play pool. Thanks for the terrible hospitality! read more

Everything about this place SCREAMS welcome. The customer service was excellent as were the drinks and food. Also they have a safety protocol in case you feel unsafe. read more

I stopped in and rechecked out this place and was greeted warmly and given lots of info about the place and the pool leagues. I got a good feeling about the place and look forward to coming in again! Want to try the grub here too! read more

Tuesday is my favorite night at kips for 2 reasons. KJ Gina is nothing short of spectacular and hosts a 4 hours show that starts at 9 pm. Second reason is one of the Managers there named Memphis who goes above and beyond to make sure you have an incredible experience. We hosted a birthday party and needed batteries for the main present and he saved the day and found us a screw driver and AA batteries ! The food is awesome (love their burgers and chicken strips) join us every Tuesday if you love for karaoke. Ask for "Honey badger" read more

This was my first visit and so far so good! There are PLENTY of pool tables and plenty of space. The music was good. The bartender was nice.. looking forward to going again and really checking it out! read more

Who doesn't love getting accused of stuff you've never done by drunk bartenders who are there off the clock? Oh, yeah, nobody. Most reputable bars don't allow employees to drink on the premises because they know what happens when they do. Not Kip's! Small step above a dive bar, mostly because of the pool tables. I have been coming here for years off and on with no problems. Until I made the mistake of not knowing they have multiple glasses of the same size. I thought maybe she misheard and made an honest mistake, that's ok. Nope, she immediately got cocky with me over it, and when I asked for my check(which I already intended to do anyway) she got even worse. Going as far as pouring water between multiple glasses to show me, talking down to me the entire time. I didn't insult you. I didn't swear at you. You got a bad attitude for no reason. And when I tried to talk to you afterward you got worse about it. Stop making yourself a victim, you don't belong in customer server. Ale Emporium is better than Kip's in every imaginable way, and I will walk the extra mile to go there from now on. read more

I've lived right down the road from this bar for almost a year and just discovered it. I'm so glad I did! It's a really fun divey bar. There is inside and outside seating. I will say the outside seating is limited to two tables with 4 seats per table, but if it's not too crowded you can snag a spot. Inside there's lots of seating and pool tables. The pool table section was really cool! There were so many. I don't like when you're out at a bar and can't get time playing, but here that's not a problem at all! There was a live band and the service was really great. The waitress was super attentive. She did a great job keeping the drinks coming. She checked on us regularly. The prices were pretty cheap. I got the mozzarella sticks appetizer. They were really good! I also ordered a Long Island iced tea, which I'd definitely recommend to anyone who also loves long islands! read more

We go every Monday to support music bingo.... Even though the primary waitress really needs to get out of the service industry. Food is good but you always have to flag her down, even when it is slow. She will check on you when it's time to pay and that is usually it. She will take drink orders no problem but then have to flag her down and ask for a menu. You may get it quick as in the 5 minutes... or it may be a while. I always order food... she got food for everyone at the table tonight but completely ignored me all night. If you go I highly recommend you sit at the bar to avoid her and recommend the owner moves on from her. read more

Kip's is generally good but the air conditioning isn't working in the pool table section. It is so hot! It is working at the bar but considering the number of pool players there, I can't imagine they are very happy. Don't recommend going until the a.c. is fixed. read more

Elayne was very attentive with so much going on. She made sure to take care of me and others. Would recommend!

This is a pretty fun dive bar, and if you like to play pool it's definitely a spot worth trying. They have quite a few pool tables, at least 10, in the bar as well as a stage for live music. The bar is a nice size and the bathrooms were actually really clean. The appetizers were pretty good and decently priced, I didn't feel like I was over paying at all. Their drinks seem to be priced fairly as well, I bought quite a few and was able to leave having paid less than 50 dollars which was nice. They also have some outdoor tables and seats for those who smoke which was a nice touch. I will certainly be returning here! read more

Came back to an old watering hole and saw Tracy's smiling face! She has been a bartender here FOREVER and she is awesome! They have pool tables, tvs, full bar and touch tunes to play your favorite tunes! read more

This place was okay until they lost my friends credit card. They require a card to place an order and keep it the server took her card and when we were ready to check out she brought us a bunch of cards and said which is yours! None of those were hers! She then said she was going to check if she had any others! After a few minutes she came to tell us she lost it! She placed all her cards in a mug and kept going. It's absurd!! read more

My boyfriend & I come to Kip's semi often - 9/10 times we have Heather as our bartender & let me tell you, she is great!! So quick to get our drinks and food and she is so attentive. Her customer service skills are AMAZING! I hope she loves her job as much as we love having her as our bartender! Kip's is a super nice bar, especially if you like playing pool! They have 12 (ish) brand new pool tables, the only downfall is the games cost $1.50 instead of $1.00 :( The food is good too, roughly $10 per person per meal! read more

i love the live music & being able to play darts or pool at the same time as listening to the band

Best bartenders in the game. Best service & always super happy. We actually come here every weekend just to see them! They are always super personable, friendly, & on top of it. They even remember our orders :) thanks for being so great ladies keep it up!! read more

Very friendly. Nice menu with many options and selections. Nicely decorated. Located in a strip mall.

Owner/male bartender not sure which is rude AF! Joined a pool league so I went to Kips after not having been there in over 10 years. Waited and waited for a server but no one came so I walked up to the bar and ordered an iced tea and 2 waters for my teammates. He says to me... this establishment is for paying customers only. WTF? Is tea free? I want dinner but right now I'm thirsty and have been waiting for 30 minutes or more for a server. Do I look homeless? WTF? Who says that to a customer? Jerk. read more

We have friends in a band that was playing there this past weekend, and decided to scope it out. I gotta say, I was pleasantly surprised! It was nice and clean, the servers were friendly. Music was playing, people were dancing, and the atmosphere was just fun! We ordered some chicken wings, and they were very good! I'm not sure I'd call them outstanding, but very good indeed and I'd not hesitate to order them again. Drink were kept refilled, service was prompt and friendly,food tasty, yeah, we'll go back. :) read more

I recently visited to play in a pool tournament and was floored by how poorly the pool tables are maintained. The cue balls used are the outdated, heavy bar table balls and several players had brought their own cue balls just to play!!! Any pool room or bar that hosts ANY competition should have decent equipment to play on! The felt in at least two of the tables I played on was so loose you could pick it up with your fingers! The food was ok and prices seemed reasonable. If you're looking for a place to just hang out and have a few beers this is ok but if you're a pool player I suggest going to Brick Yard or John Wayne's Pub. The servers were friendly and helpful when I visited and it's an easy spot to find with plenty of parking. The place seemed clean enough and there's no smoking inside. The pool tables are way to close together also so you'll be bumping into others or waiting for people to get out of your way a lot. Overall it's a decent place just not very player friendly if you're into playing pool. read more

Like the menu. Like the food we ordered Like The atmosphere. Nice place and is clean. Comfy and relaxing. Definitely a place to come to. We will definitely come back. read more

Kip's is a good place to play pool or watch a game! They recently got 12 new pool tables and carpet in the main room. The atmosphere is low key, and the service is good. On Tuesday nights, they have music bingo. You win gifts cards to the bar! read more

Ok so here's the deal. If you like billiards, you should make this a destination for you. But it's not like one of those hole in the wall bars that had some open spaces so they put a pool table in. It's not even like one of those "pool halls" with 6 raggedy pool tables and super sticky floors. This place is legit for pool players. They hold tournaments here and the tables are taken care of. What more could you ask for of a true pool hall.....oh wait, good food, the food is decent, nothing to write home about but it is a bar so they don't do bad. Go here for pool and have a bite too. read more

Management is cool, bartenders are not. If you want to feel pressured to tip a rude bartender then come to this bar...

It's hard to find a true pool hall around Indianapolis, but this place has it! The main hall is generally reserved for leagues, but the room to the the right is first come first serve pool, foosball, and darts. They have great drink specials every day of the week. My group went here just to play some darts and drink some beer for Sunday Funday! This place is a little grungy, a little divey, as most pool halls are. We got a couple of pitchers of beer for $6.25 a piece. The staff was alright, we didn't really need much. For now, this my 'go to' place for pool and darts. Check it out! read more

Great bartenders and servers, always friendly. Drinks are resonably priced. Some decent food for bar food too. Get the Club Sandwich, it's super good. Also if you have a choice between chips and fries go with the chips. I don't know if they are homemade but they are some of teh best chips I've ever had. Also it has like 15 pool tables and 4 dart boards, so if you are looking for something to do with friends you can almost always get a game. Good vibes all around read more

I just stopped in on Saturday night to see if Kip's had maybe changed up it's mode of operation at all. Not much has changed over since my last try about two or three years ago, except maybe the place a little worse for the wear and the real good-looking bartender, who's been there since I don't remember, went from brunette to blond. The beer line-up is stuck in the eighties and the best I could muster was a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Kip's is your basic bar and pool hall. I was planning not to write it up unless something caught my attention in a good way. But Kip's booked a truly rocking, contemporary band which actually played original music on this Saturday. That was enough to get a 5/10 out of me. My thanks to the management and to the band, Glass Halo. Keep an eye this band. http://www.glasshalo.net/index.html read more

Cannot express my displeasure for this bar enough. It has potential, but the experience is always spoiled by the rude bartender who has been working every single time I've come here....black hair and glasses. She has a horrible attitude and has never been nice to me. I've been here at least 5-6 times now and each time has been worse and worse because of her. I am always nice and respectful, but do not receive the same treatment. I pay to be here, you GET paid to be here...fix the attitude read more

A great night! Trivia fun and good food. We went with the half off apps prior to trivia, and stuck around for trivia which was a blast! We got third place but enjoyed the whole deal. Drink prices were reasonable. read more
