    This place is the true definition of hole in the wall dive bar, in the best way possible. Depot…read moreTavern is in the middle of nowhere Indiana but it was hopping on Friday night. There was a live band (the reason we sought out this place) and they charge a $5/pp cover charge. Their menu is basic bar food - mozzarella sticks, burgers, poppers, fries, etc. (no wings). The burgers looked REALLY good and everyone was ordering them but we weren't hungry enough to get one. We arrived around 7:15PM and stayed until last call. We each had 4-5 beers in that time (since we had to drive out of there on back country roads) and we split an order of mozzarella sticks and our total bill was only $30! Amazing! Note: they do allow smoking, almost everyone in there was smoking, and the ventilation system didn't do much to help the air flow. At one point my eyes were burning pretty bad - but it's a dive bar and I was not expecting it to be non-smoking. It's a cool little joint and I'm glad we went!

    This is a very subjective five stars. Here's why:…read more 1. It's the only bar in Orleans. 2. They have Not You Father's Root Beer 3. The NYFRB and a PBR was $5.25. Like, total. Not each. 4. It's the ultimate dive. It's filled with all the dive bar regalia: Miller Lite mirror, Coors neon sign, Bud Light neon sign, Busch Light neon sign, pool table. They've got one TV. It's set to NASCAR. Smoking allowed inside, a true relic. When you only have 1 option, it's truly your best bet.

    A friend and I stopped at The Story Inn for a night on our way to Indianapolis. I went in blind…read morebecause she had made all the arrangements and upon driving into the area I felt like I had stepped back in time. The best way to describe the picturesque compound is that it feels like the town of Spectre from the movie Big Fish. It is adorable and quaint. We had arrived in the early evening and quickly put our luggage into our adorable cottage so we could make our way down to the tavern. We enjoyed many drinks and some typical bar fare along with some conversations with the locals. The atmosphere was incredibly welcoming and homey. We walked back to our cottage and had a comfortable slumber. It was a great stay and I can't wait to return!

The buildings are cottages you can rent in the general store has a very good dinner and reallycool bar in the basement. We had Guinness beef stew, and a puff pastry, my kids had the shepherds pie with lamb sourced from a local farmer, and we had a peach and blackberry pie that was fantastic. Rich runs the place and is a very kind and accommodating person. He tells the history of the town, how things have been built up and what has been restored. We stayed in the Doc Story House, which is a 2 floor, 3 bedroom, 2 bath, and hot tub replete with uneven floors and stain glass windows leading up the stairs to the second story. I can't say enough good things about this place. It is a unique throwback in time and holy recommend every part of it.
