    The bartender who never greeted us
    Chatiana D.

    This bar is not diverse friendly. After coming into the bar to have a drink, we were never greeted. The bartender literally walked past us to check on the people at the pool table and never greeted us. She continued to do everything and check on everyone else except us. I definitely will not be back.

    Someone obviously needs more practice

    If you're looking for an unexpected adventure with cheap drinks, darts and talking to random strangers then this place is perfect! I've been here a couple times now and have not been disappointed. We always have a great time and end up meeting interesting people. This place isn't for everyone but if you're looking for laid back, great time and don't have high expectations then definitely check out this place. Lastly, people in the comments talking about the bartender need to cut her some slack. If you've never been a bartender or known one then you have no idea how much crap they put up with on a daily basis. Keep in mind she's dealing with all types of drunken people! She's always been very nice to us and tries to efficiently serve up drinks.

    This is such a fun dive bar in downtown Noblesville. Similar to its namesake, the walls are covered…read morein dollar bills back behind the bar, but they have a lot of other funny, random decor to sip your drink and look at as well. With them being open so late it was our last stop of the night after going out with my sister and brother in law. The bartender was really nice and we ordered a round of shots and some beers and chatted at the bar. Later on we got one last round of shots before getting an Uber back. It is a fun place for cheap drinks and hanging out with friends. It is also nice to have several bars that are walkable from everywhere in downtown Noblesville. They also have TouchTunes, so I went to play a song as soon as we sat down. There was a man in a blue short-sleeved shirt who was apparently Lord of the TouchTunes that periodically would go stand in front of the machine for 5 minutes (or longer) and spend what I assume was hundreds of dollars that night to skip everyone else's songs and play what he wanted to. That is risk when using TouchTunes since people can pay more to skip and play their songs, but it was super annoying since he did it the entire time we were there. We stayed an hour, hour and a half, and as we were cashing out the song I had paid to play when we first arrived finally came on.

    There's not really another bar like The Goat in Carmel. This is probably the most Broad Ripple-y…read morebar I've been to in this city. (If you know, you know.) For that reason, The Goat got in trouble by the city a while back, and was shut down for a time. But then it reopened, and now it seems to be minding its Ps and Qs, for the most part. You will know you're at The Goat when you see a big American flag flapping in the breeze outside of the restaurant. You'll also know you're at The Goat when you spot the Donald Trump beer tap handle at the bar. OK! They must really like the movie "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York" here. There really is a place for everyone, and I somehow found myself in this place. But you know what? I got nothing but love (or like, really) for The Goat. My experience was great. The service was excellent. The beer, wine and spirits list was outstanding. The music they were playing was nice (heck yeah to whoever chose to play mid-90s Incubus, Bush and Marcy Playground.) I'm the type of person who goes to a dive-ish bar and orders wine, and the kind people at The Goat didn't even blink, and poured me a nice, generous glass. Fine, two glasses. If you're the kind of person who drinks bourbon, your heart will start beating faster when you step into The Goat. They have an amazing bourbon list. On Wednesdays, they do $12 pours of select bottles, some of which are $100+ per bottle. So, you can try out some top-shelf bourbon at a decent price. Mark your calendar for Wednesdays at The Goat, if you're into bourbon. My visit was just for drinks with a small party, and we didn't try any of the food. But we got a variety of drinks among us, including red wine, beer, straight bourbon and blueberry cider. They have a lot of different types of alcohol to please an adult palate. Speaking of adults, this place is 21+ only!

Upscale new addition that's great for watching a game It's about the only place in the heart of Carmel that I would consider a "sports bar" (the bar downstairs at Woody's might fall in this category). I'm told the late night scene is excellent for the 21-35 crowd. I'm typically there between 3 PM - 6 PM. My experience with the service has always been good. Be sure to follow their social media accounts if you're a whiskey connoisseur. They have some killer monthly specials.

I've been looking for a simple buffalo chicken sandwich. You used to be able to find these everywhere- just a simple chicken breast tossed in buffalo sauce. I saw a few things that were similar on the menu, but nothing quite suited my craving. I asked the waitress if they had a basic buffalo chicken sandwich, and she recommended something from the menu called "the boss". I took her recommendation and ordered "the boss" with chicken, pepperjack cheese, and tossed in hot sauce. It took a while for my food to come out, but when it did, I was impressed. My sandwich and fries were both piping hot and freshly made. The sandwich was much larger than I expected- almost like a big tenderloin. The sandwich was not tossed in the buffalo sauce as I had ordered, but there was a fair amount of hot sauce on top of it. The chicken was excellent- very big and juicy. The breading had the perfect amount of crispness. I was very happy with the taste. I would go back for this again, but maybe try during their "off hours". Dinner always seems jam-packed.
