I ended up with the flying tomato specialty pizza-a thicker buttery crust pizza. We also had a half order of chips and salsa as an appetizer. The chips are made fresh and served warm. Pizza takes a little longer to bake as it is thick crust. The seating area was a mix of booths and tables. Restrooms were clean. This was my first visit. If I am back in the area I would definitely dine here again.

Last night, I went to Pub 217 on a Tuesday evening. The place was lively, with groups of people on…read moreone side and the bar area a bit more relaxed, which is where I sat with my sister. We came for happy hour and ordered an appetizer of wings. The wings were fantastic, and the cocktails were enjoyable, but it did take a while for someone to take our order, which was a little frustrating as I was trying to catch the happy hour specials. Eventually, the bartender came over, apologized for the wait, and was super friendly with a great personality. I've also ordered lunch from here several times, and my favorite dish is the Bruschetta Salad, which I get every time. It's a perfect option when dining with a group. Another thing I love about Pub 217 is the seasonal décor - they always do a great job switching it up throughout the year!

I love me a good dive bar…read more This one just isn't *as* good as others in the area, IMO. (But don't get me wrong, I plan to keep coming back!) The low-down... Never, ever open on Sunday. Prices are as expected. Oozes character. Tons of booths, all etched by years of patrons. Pool table. Not crowded like so many other IC watering holes. Full bar, about four beers on tap. Never loud, a good spot to catch up. Jukebox music. Friendly staff. Oldest bar in IC. (Circa the 1930s) SUPPOSEDLY, Kurt Vonnegut had drinks here. Rad. Dave's Fox Head Tavern is a must-see. Grab your flannel and your Chucks-- go get a pint of Pabst.... like now.
