    Sliders
    Cassondra J.

    Loved the heated outdoor igloos and martinis were delish and strong. Our waiter was attentive and quick. Sliders were like 6/10 but good.

    we stopped by here after dinner and the weather was perfect to sit outside, they have a decent selection of drinks, they have a fun thing where you can order a mystery beer that comes in a brown bag. I lucked out and got a beer from 18th street, it was very tasty! I would definitely come back!

    View from the balcony!

    Located inside the Hyatt House/Hyatt Place in downtown Indy on the second floor next to the lobby! Overlooks the Gainbridge Fieldhouse! Small menu and full bar that opens at 4p! Friendly service!

    Stopped in here for a quick drink before grabbing dinner. It's super easy to get to and the front entrance has some interesting art to check out. It's on the 2nd floor and has a wonderful low-key balcony. We were the only people in the bar/balcony so it was nice to be able to wonder around and check out the whole area. They do offer seasonal cocktails.

    Staying in the downtown Indianapolis Hyatt Place? This bar is located next to the lobby. Same place where you get breakfast in the morning. We came back late to our room and wanted a nightcap. The drinks were fine, service was polite, but distracted... Got the bill and found a $1 charge for "rocks". Did they really just charge me $1 extra for ice in the scotch (see photo)?!?!?

    Presseco and Chicharróns
    Amber Q.

    We didn't really have much food but what we had was good. The Chicharróns came out hot, fresh and still cracking from the fryer. I drank presseco.. the cocktail list wasn't super thrilling. They have a patio with igloos that you can rent during the cold season and ioen seating on the balcony when it's warm out.

    Georgia Street Tacos
    Dan S.

    Stopped in here to have a bite before a concert across the street at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse. My wife had the Georgia Street Tacos. She ate all three except for the bite she gave me. They were delicious. Came with lime wedges so you could squeeze fresh lime on your taco right before you sink your teeth in. I got the Pork Belly BLT. I'm a sucker for pork belly anything. The bread was perfectly crunchy and buttery. It also had generous avocado slices in this BLT. Loved It!!! Soft but crunchy. Bacony and creamy and all over delicious.

    Cool as a cucumber
    Amanda F.

    Tonight I met some old work colleagues at Pivot Table for drinks and a quick bite. The atmosphere and view are great, sadly it was raining and we couldn't sit outside. But next time I will for sure. There is a great view of the stadium. We liked the food and drinks. I highly recommend the cool as a cucumber. The brat was delicious and filling. I really enjoyed the popcorn as an app with cheddar flavor added. But the best part of the experience was the bartender/server, Andy. He was great attentive in the right ways and fun. He even made us a shot from his days bartending in Florida. I will be back.

    Surprisingly one of the cheapest drink prices in the area.

    I love this place, drink prices over half off from the Fieldhouse across the street. You can watch everyone walk in.

    Grilled cheese bites

    I wanted to like this place sooo bad, because who doesn't love a good rooftop! The outdoor area is great, especially on a summer evening. I like that they have the "brown bag beer" special. Drinking for cheap at a classier place is quite the oxymoron, but I love me a good beer that is reminiscent of my college days!! That is the end of the good experience. We didn't plan to eat here but the traffic downtown was bad, so we did. I got the spinach poppyseed salad & added chicken (+$4). Do yourself a favor and do NOT order this, especially not with the chicken. Likely the worst chicken I've ever had. It was cold, which isn't great but whatever. I don't think it was seasoned at all. If it was, it wasn't much more than a couple shakes of salt and pepper. Very confused for such a nice place. I ate one bite. Part of it did not look fully cooked as you can see in the photo. My friends ordered the chicken tacos and grilled cheese with tomato soup. They said it was decent. I'm not sure if I'd return here. If I did, it would only be for the drinks.

    spacious and stylish seating

    What a great setting to enjoy a beverage before an evening event downtown! The second floor cocktail bar is located within the Hyatt Place that newly opened on Pennsylvania across from the Fieldhouse. After climbing a stairway surrounded by art installations (elevators are just beyond), the bar is located to the left of the check-in counter. During the day, the space is open and anyone can walk around to check out the stylish bar area. What is very cool is walking out onto the balcony that provides an elevated view of the fieldhouse and the surrounding downtown area. There is a fire pit for when the weather gets chilly. Once the bar opens at 3 p.m., it becomes a 21+ space only, so don't bring your kids before a Pacer/Fever game. I sat at the bar in the early afternoon and had a very pleasant experience. I ordered one of the house drinks, a "Cool as a Cucumber" cocktail that was delicious. Count on prices to be on the higher end as you would expect from a business located within a hotel. The bartenders were pleasant and prompt. Parking in the area is always a challenge, especially on game nights. There are a few pay street parking spots on the alley between Penn and Meridian. I simply chose to park in the mall garage ($3 for 3 hours) and walk the block to the bar to avoid driving around looking for a spot. This is a great location and should become even better in a few years when the new plaza goes in across the street, north of the fieldhouse. In the meantime, enjoy the elevated view and the cocktails. Note: They do offer a limited meal selection though they shouldn't call it Lunch and Dinner when they clearly don't open in time for lunch.

    Drinks were cute and tasted really good. Can barely taste the liquor. But you will most definitely need at least 3 cups to get drunk. Balcony is a decent size not too big.

    What a fun new place in the heart of downtown! Right across the street from bankers life Fieldhouse. The perfect place to grab a drink and appetizer before a sporting event or concert. I came here with a friend before a concert and it was the best idea. They have a beautiful outdoor rooftop bar with ample seating. I split the chicken tenderloin which came with tater tot's and a salad with my Friend. It was the perfect amount of food. The menu is very broad and offers a variety of "classy" and comfort food. They offer a two dollar brown bag beer where they put a surprise kind of beer in a brown bag and bring it to you. Usually these beers are not of the highest quality, but a $2 mediocre beer at pivot beats a $10 mediocre beer at bankers life. Plus it's fun because it's a surprise!

Instead we got a live demonstration of how someone can be both a manager and completely allergic to managing. Nate approached our table like we had just personally asked him to work a double. Every question we asked was met with the same expression people make when their phone battery hits 1%. Asked if the TV could be switched to the game. Nate stared at the remote like it was a cursed artifact he legally wasn't allowed to touch. At one point he said, "I'll handle it." This was a bold claim considering he immediately disappeared and we never saw him again. I assume he's still somewhere in the building not handling it. Honestly, it was kind of fascinating to watch. Most managers run the place. Nate seems more like a guy who wandered in, got handed a manager title, and has been confused ever since. If Nate is the manager on duty, just know you'll be managing your own experience.
