    This is a nice neighborhood restaurant located on the east side of Indianapolis not far from Spades Park. It has that friendly local vibe to it. They have a special of the day along with other food options on their menu. Service was helpful and friendly and the patty melt was delicious!! Try the sweet potato fries with ranch. Two thumbs up warm and crispy. Yum!! The wraps looked good as well. Well, lots of other things looked good on the menu. I only saw the wraps and will have to try one of those! I can see why people were coming in getting carry out. Nice spot with great food. They have a lot of picnic tables outside too!!

    This is such an underrated gem. Mayfair Taproom has a cozy, homey vibe. You can stop in to grab a hearty dinner or some good beer. I've been here in the summer as well and I will always recommend utilizing their awesome patio. I love the VHS tapes across the walls and even peeped a Twin Peaks box set as decoration. Overall a good vibe with good people and good food

    Cool spot to hangout, they play older movies via VHS so it's a whole early 90s vibe. Bar food menu looked decent so will have to try the food next time!

    Have driven my this place several times and finally made the choice to have a girls night dinner. There is plenty of street parking around and it's free which is a bonus. You order and pay at the bar. There isn't a huge menu but you can find something to eat without issue for sure. We sat outside and ate since it was nice out. The patio is very nice. They are kid friendly outside not sure about in the inside. Also dog friendly which is nice. The food overall was fine. Nothing overly exciting but not terrible just fine. The bartender was also just fine, he wasn't overly friendly but also didn't make us feel overly welcomed, however, the other patrons there were very friendly and we had some great conversations with the other guests.

    We happen to come by during trivia on Sunday! They have a nice patio with dog bowls and high chairs. Street parking. Seating on patio but order at the bar. There is seating inside too. Food was delish! Vegan options. We got the (vegan) gravy and chips, Thai chili cauliflower wings, and breaded chicken bites with honey mustard. The staff was friendly and laidback. Def a neighborhood and family vibe.

    This is such a fun bar/restaurant! The atmosphere is a local pub/dive bar with a VHS decor spin. Right up my alley. Their menu is very much traditional bar foods but a ton of vegetarian and vegan options! Which is sooooo refreshing to see. I am always open to trying vegetarian options so I can also learn what I could make at home. I think they are known for their vegan gravy, they sell it in pints! We tried it and it was really good. I enjoyed that they do not have table service, BUT they do have a dedicated spot on the bar for table patrons to place food and drink orders. Their soda on tap is from a local Irvington soda pop company which is also amazing. We love local supporting local!

    We had a fun time and great food at Mayfair. We stopped in for an early dinner and we weren't disappointed. We were greeted by one of the nice bartenders as soon as we sat down. She got us waters, and the other bartender poured our beers. They came and took our order and our food came real quick! It's a cool spot with awesome tile on the floor and a big bar. They also have tables and booths for under 21 guests. In the back there is a great patio with plenty of tables, umbrellas, and shade! We can't wait to go back!

    We had been out and about on the east side of Indy last night and were just looking for a place that was open. The first two places were closed, and when we resolved to just head back home we happened upon Mayfair. Parking was very easy at that time and when I stepped out of the car and I was just taken with all the lovely old homes that flanked the exterior of Mayfair. We went inside the very clean and subtly decorated dining and bar area. Most patrons, ( ok all of them) were younger than us, quite possibly locals, were on the other side of the wall that divided the dining room from the bar. So we ventured over and joined those in the bar area and got a two topper. We were greeted almost immediately by a very friendly bartender who handed us menus. We ordered a couple of glasses of wine while we glanced over the menu. Honestly, we weren't expecting much at that time of night but we ordered the fish and chips to share. It arrived within minutes. It was two small pieces with fries. We were slightly disappointed but not enough to not eat. WOW!!! It was perfectly cooked deliciousness! My husband and I scarfed that crunchy fish with that delicate, moist interior. It left us wanting more!! I will never share with my husband the next time. Now, if that was some box fish ordered from from some Costcoish establishment--well, it was damn good. I'm a bit jealous of those folks who get to have that pub within walking distance. We are already talking about making another trip to try other items on their menu. Go to Mayfair! Worth a trip!

    The very eclectic combo of European, vintage, Yule, western, and probably about four other vibes smashed together for a rather fun and basic bar. No waiters, order at the bar and card is held, fantastic tap list, I sampled quite a bit and enjoyed the craft variety. Found two glorious brews at opposite ends, a sparkly sour and a bitter nitro right for my dinner and trivia. Amazing pineapple tart and glorious Old Rasputin nitro imperial stout, both too right. Trivia was random and awful, way too niche and difficult while also trying to be fun and friendly. I suppose the rotating hosts give that spectrum but I'd rather know what it'll be like over a clueless mash of impossible questions on limited topics. Food was a win! Most well priced, my burger was tasty though simple. Some additional pickled something would reach the extra mile. Chicken poppers were way too easy to eat. I could see myself dropping in again on a whim especially with my Indy favorite Rabble Coffee nextdoor!

    Ask the Community - Mayfair Taproom

    Is it 21 years old and above?

    The bar area is 21 years and older, but families can sit in the dining room area. They do have a sign up in the bar that specifically states 21 years old and above.

They had the door open, which was letting in the fresh almost-spring air.) Drinks are pretty much all they have at Snug, to be honest. Don't visit thinking you're going to find a meal, because they don't have a lot of food beyond locally made hand pies and empanadas, a grazing board, and something called Snug Nuts. (Which brings to mind certain ... images.) I didn't get any food, just a Road & Coke, which is a whiskey with a Coke and lime, similar to a Cuba libre, although a Cuba uses rum. It was delicious, but a little light on the booze. It was only $5 and change, though, so it's kind of like what do you expect, really. It was a nice drink to sip slowly while I sat in the small, cozy bar. Speaking of bar aesthetics: Snug lives up to its name. It's tiny and dark but inviting. It feels like stepping into a hug. A hug that can also provide you with copious amounts of Irish whiskey, which sounds like the best kind of hug, to me.

Small, little, somewhat burnt, STEAMING HOT, not-so-buttery and not-so-cajun-ish corn on the cobs. Next we have the chicken. I would've rather grown a chicken, killed it for some wings, made a hat with its feathers and made sensory toys with its eyes The buns were probably the best part. The lettuce was cut smaller than you could ever imagine, the chicken had a good amount but tasted like it was drowned in Franks Red Hot Sauce. The tomato was a tomato This isn't all the restaurant though. The other times I visited here were AMAZING The times I sat in the big room were good because, there were TVs to save my boredom, the built in chargers were neat, and the food was just better! BRING BACK THE TVS THAT SHOW WHAT MUSIC IS PLAYING PLS Thank you for listening to me yap!

The AVG is definitely a neighborhood tavern. It's cozy and very laid back with high top tables. I ordered an Old Fashioned but mixed drinks weren't really on offer unless it was something like rum and coke. I had a beer. It was fine. We were there for about an hour and a half. I would definitely return. The vibes were slow paced. We moved on to The Checkered Flag. Wowza!! It was a Thursday night but the place was hopping. We were joined by another friend with plans to have a bite to eat. The menu is unbelievable. So much to choose from. We were kind of boring because 3 of us chose the same thing and the other two chose the same item. Two had the pork tenderloin. Both agreed it was excellent. Three of us had the BBQ Pork spud. It's a giant baked potato with butter, a good spread of pimento cheese, moist pulled pork, BBQ sauce, coleslaw and green onions. It was fantastic. Normally the pork can become a bit dry. This was not the case. Cooked perfectly. I was able to order the Old Fashioned. They apologized because they were out of oranges but I was fine. It was a very good drink. There happened to be two musicians performing. I was quite impressed. This tavern was very very impressive. We all agreed to return Our final stop was Herrmann. It's a small brewery tucked away off a quiet street. We were offered several tastings of the beers on offer. We were all able to find something to our liking. I had a porter. There are tables for four spread around the seating area. It's comfortable and definitely a neighborhood haunt. All three places were definitely neighborhood taverns. The Checkered Flag was hands down the best! Indy has so much to offer!
