    Pleasantly surprised. Despite the somewhat unimpressive exterior of an old Long John Silvers, the food inside was fantastic. Both the tenderloin and sandwich we ordered were made with top notch ingredients and tasted fantastic. The bill was cheaper than McDonalds and the staff were super friendly. Great experience and will be back!

    I've passed this place countless times and always seems to be busy. On recommendation from a coworker, we decided to stop in for a tenderloin. This is definitely a Cheers type place where the staff knows the regulars. You seat yourself! The prices...out of this world! For a second I was worried they only took cash but they take card. Seeing a spinach melt on the menu will always trump anything else. It was delicious and so were the onion rings! My husband got the tenderloin and let's just say he came back a few days later it was that good!

    This place is somewhat of a dive but the food and prices are great. The tenderloin is huge, very flavorful and one of the best I've had. The onion rings are huge and very good too. They have a big menu and a full bar. The service was very friendly and I will definitely be back!

    Been years since we've been back to the PawnShop Pub. For some reason k was craving the Spinach and Artichoke Dip Sandwich. It was still good but coulda used more bacon. Husband got a hamburger and fries. No complainants. Breadsticks and cheese were kinda a miss. We'd skip them next time. Good service although they were busy. I'm sure lots of regulars. Very reasonably priced. Cheapest meal we've have out in a long time.

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!
