    Asian fusion oasis in the heart of Irvington! Have been dying to try Strange Bird and when I finally had the opportunity I was not disappointed!! The space is much larger than it gives off and every inch is adorable. The drink menu is the star of the show, my drink was (on) fire, literally... the food was somehow even better tho, from oysters and gyoza to ramen and wings, every thing was delicious and we had plenty of leftovers.

    Why do I wait so long between visits to Strange Bird when everything is always amazing?! As soon as you walk in the doors, you are greeted with the cutest tiki themed area. Comfy couches and chairs to wait for your table and intimate lighting throughout. The place is not large, so I do recommend reservations. The food and drinks! The drinks are beautiful and fun - they have have zero proof! I recommend the pina nolada. As for the food, you literally can't go wrong. From the gyoza, wings, katsu curry, or ramen- you will be so happy! I can't wait to go back next time to get some oysters!

    Curry wings
    Olivia C.

    We had approximately a 2hr wait before we could get seated, but it was a busy Friday night, so it wasn't surprising! The restaurant has extremely low, moody lighting and a slightly cramped atmosphere; giving it a strange mix of both relaxing and a bit chaotic. Our server was always extremely prompt, friendly, helpful, and quick! We all ordered both alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails, which were all adorable and tasty. My curry wings were good, but honestly a little too mild in flavor. I wish the curry profile was stronger! My friend let me try one of his wings (toga blood I think?) and they were GREAT! So much flavor and the spice was delicious. I ordered the tonkotsu ramen, and I would say it's definitely a fantastic ramen, I just wish the broth was more porky than poultry. It does list itself as a paitan broth in the description, so it's not deceptive, I just associate tonkotsu with the rich, heavy flavor of pork that is assisted by some chicken gelatin, not carried by it. I also requested kamaboko in my ramen, but laughed to see it was one small single piece! I wouldn't mind if paying extra was needed, I just love fish cake and expected more than a single slice. To the wonderful credit of our server; however, when my friend jokingly complained at the table that ramen only ever comes with one half instead of a whole egg, he overheard and brought us second halves in a flash! No one was actually expecting that, she was just making a joke, yet our server was quick to show they mean business. Everyone at my table thoroughly enjoyed their ramen, I didn't see a single bowl that wasn't empty! Everything from the broth to the noodles to the toppings feel well thought-out and made by people who love their food. It's definitely worth a visit or two.

    If you are looking for an all around cool experience this is the place. The tiki bar interior is super fun, drinks are creative and tasty, and then you add flavorful ramen... YUM. Made a reservation to sit on the bar side and was glad I did. Fun to see the bartender making the cocktails, felt alittle more lively. Tried a few of their cocktails; Scorpion reef would usually be my go-to because I love mezcal (plus the presentation is awesome- they set the drink on fire!) but the Gold Rush took the cake. Ramen wise, as long as you like a little spice go Tantanmen all the way. By FAR the best flavor. Curry wings were a hit or miss for my group. Personally thought that they were saucy and tasty. Meat fell right off the bone. Server was friendly. Definitely trying to make drink sales but who can blame the guy haha. All in all fun place to take friends if you are looking for something completely unique!

    Dental phobia friends BEWARE! The blender or I don't know exactly what but I assume the blender sounds exactly like the dentist chair drilling. It is very triggering. Someone needs to warn us Homies that had less than ideal Dental experience growing up. Also, what in the world it was Saturday and Last call at 7:40...what?! we had two different kinds of Ramen, and order of the wings, we also had the rice bowl, oysters, and the gyoza dumplings. The desserts were sold out by the time we arrived for a 6 o'clock reservation, the only option we could have was rum cake. The drinks were delicious as expected, but no dessert and the dental triggering made it difficult to enjoy my evening out with friends.

    Super cute tiki restaurant with delicious offerings from tiki themed cocktails to Asian comfort foods. We shared oysters, bao buns, gyoza, and crudo. We also had drinks and ramen dishes. Everything was delicious. It was a great experience. We came early hoping to beat a crowd on a Friday night, which worked. It filled up pretty quickly and they had a wait when we left.

    Went here to celebrate my birthday. Unique tiki style interior and love that the menu isn't five pages long. We made a reservation as I heard it can get pretty busy. We were seated immediately. All of the dishes were delicious and the drinks looked like the pictures on the menu. The broth in the ramen was rich and flavorful. You definitely will not leave here hungry. Look forward to coming back.

    Teriyaki Chicken wings

    Atmosphere is really cool, looks like a tiki hut inside and has a cool outdoor space. We love Irvington and this restaurant is right in the middle of some beautiful older homes away from the hustle and bustle. The Bao Buns are amazing and we will definitely go back for the teriyaki wings. Service was kind of slow but it was a busy Saturday night so it wasn't a deal breaker for a return visit.

    Was here for a great oysters and bubbles class, and had time to kill before it started, so I enjoyed a great holiday drink before the class started! It was festive and a tasty combo of spiced rum and cream, even better it came in a cousin eddy glass from Christmas vacation! Love it!

    This was another one of stops after Imbibe Magazine featured in Indy. We took a weekend and stopped at most of their recommendation. This place earns its name from the strange make up of menu items. This was the first time I had raw oyster and craft ramen in the same meal - both were awesome! To top is off they have great cocktail menu!

    strong order
    Jennifer B.

    Came in to try the tiki drinks and saw they had ramen that could be veganized. Sat at the bar. Lots of seating options, but we like to take to the bartender. She was pleasant, but not friendly. Ordered two drinks: Strong Order and Scorpion Reef. Both okay, but not good enough to order more drinks. Strong Order was supposed to have Chartreuse in it, but you couldn't taste a drop. Split a ramen soup. Nothing special on the soup unless you count the cherry tomatoes in it. That was a first. The place was good for a one and done. The bill lowered my review significantly. The kitchen gratuity was a surprise (3%). I'm all for getting something to back of house. Just let your customers know. The worst part of the bill was a $2 uncharge for "spice on the side". We didn't request this and it was pushed by the bartender ("do you want the spice on the side?" Uh, sure I guess). Now I know why they suggest because they make money on it. What a joke. In summary: this bar is tiki adjacent, but not tiki. Drinks are good, but not great. Food prices are high for what you get. The ramen is good, but not great. Vegan options are limited to switching the broth to vegetable. Wouldn't go back.

    Some of the unique bar and design

    We were told if you weren't in line at 5 you may not get in. It was true. On Sunday's they serve 1/2 price oysters. We were greeted right away. Although they had outdoor seating we were concerned about the weather. We requested indoor seating and were seated in the bar area. The whole restaurant is decorated in a tropical decor. It is like stepping into an old movie set. Just so unique! After a few minutes our server came over to explain the tropical drink menu. (It looked like a menu out of an old black and white movie. I loved it) I ordered a gin colada. My husband order mai tai. My drink came right away. My husband's drink did not come until I asked the bartender if they had a drink for our table. They didn't but checked with the wait staff and got it right to us. (The manager comped the drink) We had the oyster special. I don't believe that I have ever had fresher,colder or shucked as well as these oysters.lim We were asked if we wanted extra sauce with our oysters. I wanted Franks but they make their own. It was too hot. My husband ordered seafood sauce. Each extra sauce is $2. They serve the oysters with a mignonette that is frozen. It was delicious They use soy in everything except chicken tenders. I had the chicken due to my soy allergies. They also serve Rama noodles. My husband had some kind of spicy beef. We ended our dinner with key lime pie. It was ok but had some funny sauce in it. It was a unique place to go to. We both said we would go back for oysters and to drink a beer. No plates or napkins were served with the oysters. We had to ask. They had no seafood folks. Ok. These oysters were so well shucked they didn't need a fork Wait staff was not real attentive but did know the menu We will go back for oysters but the menu does not allow me anything I can eat

    I've written 493 Yelp reviews, and this is only the 3rd 2-star ever. And honestly I debated making it my 1st 1-star. Sorry, it's a long read, hope you'll hang with me! I've been to Strangebird numerous times; have always enjoyed it. I bring my mom here when she is in town, because we love the half price oysters (5-6pm only), and she doesn't have anyone to eat them with where she lives. So we went at the very end of April 2025 (it's taken me some time to want to write this.) Hubs joined us for dinner, too. Hubs & I had a cocktail (the Painkiller in the skull mug, and the Lost Lake in the flamingo mug), and my mom has a very pretty colada mock tail. The drinks are absolutely gorgeous, even though this time it was definitely heavy on the crushed ice and not a lot of liquid, it was still really yummy. For food, we ordered the bao buns, 4 dozen oysters (we ordered 2 doz, then 2 doz more), the shoyu ramen, the katsu curry, and a dessert. Everything was very beautiful & tasty (see pics). 5 stars if we stop here. Now here's the rub. The waiter brings our bill (which is nearing $300 with a tip). It contained the taxes and also an additional kitchen fee (not server gratuity) - which I expected, because this was listed on the menu that it would be charged. Then I notice that 3 of the doz oysters were listed at half price ( on the receipt as "doz happy hour oysters") , but the 4th was charged full price. I point this out to our server, and say, this is an error, we ordered this before 6pm, and he tells me, "oh it's just 1 doz per person for the half price." I explain that this is neither posted on the chalk board, nor on the menu, nor was it mentioned by him. He basically says, "well that's the way it is." I say, "that doesn't feel good - it's really just not a fair way to charge a customer." He argues with me a bit (not loudly, but also not doing anything), I mention "let's talk to a manger," then on the 4th time I say a little more firmly "how about we talk to a manger" - so he goes to get one. A gentleman comes to our table. I think it might be the person who was actually shucking the oysters. I explain the situation, say, it wasn't listed or said to us anywhere, so it just doesn't seem fair. He Immediately agrees, says no problem, and says our server will get that adjusted for us. Easy-peasey and very nice! -- That felt like really great customer service. I'm thinking about my Yelp review, and I'm getting ready to sing praises! Back to 5 stars! Our server brings the receipt, I thank him for handling that, and even joke "well hey now I can just put even more to your tip!" and he laughs at that. I glance at the receipt, it lists 4 doz all together now, and we pay and leave. We get about a min away when I ask my husband to turn the car around. I realize that, while they have written the 4 doz oysters differently, they have NOT adjusted the price. Line reads $96, but should be $78. I go back in. I wait several minutes at the front (no other patrons waiting). Another man comes to the counter. I explain the situation and say, so we are still really still owed $18. He tells me, no, we are getting half price on the specialty per oyster price, not half price on the dozen happy hour price. (Which by the way, I ordered the happy hour chefs choice dozens, not the specialty per piece ones). He then says this has always been their policy. I reply that well, my first receipt rang up as "half price happy hour dozen" and also, the numerous times I've eaten there, then all of the servers then must have just been generous and kind because that is the way it's always been charged to us. (And also, see my previous reviews where I talk about this!) I restate that we enjoyed our meal, we are frequent visitors, but it's the principal of the error should be absorbed by the establishment, not the customer. He says something else that I can't really remember, but I do remember that my response was, "Well would you rather that I just write a bad review?" On that, he takes money out of his wallet and slaps a $20 on the counter, telling me to keep the change. I pick up the money. He then asks me if I'm really going to take that & nickel and dime them and take "his" money?! I ask, is he really going to do that do a customer instead? I thank him for his attention and leave. So y'all, thanks for hanging with a long read. It took a while to write. Might I eat there again for half price oysters and limit myself to less? Meh, no. Let's face it, I spent almost $300 for dinner (after tip), so yes, I could have spent an additional $18. Or I could have had 2 drinks instead of 1, that's about the same price to easily spend more. But it's the principal of really feeling like they were trying to pull a fast one -- and thinking they did, but they got caught - that will make me take my business elsewhere. They're probably don't care, they'll be plenty successful without me. Just sad! #ReviewsByRL

I went there late at night and by looking at the outside there was nothing that really stood out to me, BUT as soon as I stepped in it was a WHOLE vibe!

The drinks were so fancy and they came in a fancy glass, tiki mug, or coconut shaped mug which I loved!

We wanted to sit in chairs with backs and when they sat us at a table with stools, we asked and they didn't really offer a solution. There were some highbacked chairs in the corner, but the table between them was small and low to the ground... I wish the waiter had just asked us to wait 15 minutes for someone to leave, but that was not an option, apparently. Leaving the old photos from my visit a year ago, including the old lettuce wraps.

After a Fever game, this was exactly the kind of place we were looking for--live music, cold drinks, and enough energy to keep the night going without feeling over-the-top. Walk in and you're immediately greeted by a stage that's impossible to ignore. The DJ had the crowd going, people were singing along, and there wasn't a single person who looked like they regretted coming. Whether you're grabbing a table, hanging out by the bar, or bouncing between the patio and the music, it's one of those places where it's easy to lose track of time. "One More Song..." Meter: The décor is exactly what you'd hope for in a place like this--license plates, signs, random memorabilia, neon everywhere, and enough character that you'll catch yourself looking around between conversations. The menu is surprisingly extensive for a music venue, too. Burgers, tacos, wings, tenders... basically whatever your post-concert (or post-game) appetite decides it wants. Post-Game Recovery Score: This isn't the place for a quiet date night or an intimate conversation. It's where you go when you want music, laughter, people watching, and a crowd that's clearly there to have a good time. Would I make it part of another downtown Indianapolis bar hop?

If you're looking for a casual spot to pop into before a downtown event, Tin Roof is the place. Bonus: the food is tasty and super affordable too!

    What is not to love about a restaurant on the water? Don't be afraid to do the outdoor seating…read more There is a lot of fans and it is very relaxing. The food is phenomenal. There's nothing I've ever had. That is not good. The staff is always friendly and there's not a long way to get your food. Try their wedge salad! You will not be disappointed. Oh, and don't forget to take home one of their pieces of Keylime pie!

    We went to Rick's for a birthday dinner date. The atmosphere is great, such a gorgeous view of…read moreEagle Creek. The restaurant wasn't super busy while we were there (it was a Monday evening) so it was pretty quiet and easy to have conversation. Our server was great, he was very attentive and we got all our food quickly and with a smile. The food. To say I was disappointed is an understatement. I had heard the hype of Rick's for so long, I had imagined it would be better. My husband had the pork chop, which had no flavor. I had the halibut, the best part about it was the sauce. But it was just ok. The rice on both our plates was also dry and pretty bland. For desert we had the crème brûlée. This wasn't made fresh, again, it was just ok - you could tell it had been sitting in the walk in fridge for a while. It's worth going for the view and service, but don't expect too much from the food.

    SNUG is a charming and lively pub that much lives up to its reputation for being well, snug! We…read moredon't mind because everyone was in good cheer and we got to enjoy live Irish music. The potato leek hand pie was delicious and so were the Che Chori veggie Shepard's Pie Empanadas. We of course had to try as many of the Irish specialty drinks including the SNUG Butter Beer with SHANKEYS WHIP, Ginger Beer and Vanilla Cream. We had never tried Shankey's before but immediately picked up a bottle at Total Wine with If you LOVE Ginger Beer definitely try the Irish Mule S9. We also enjoyed the BELFAST COFFEE made with Pangur Potin, Shuv Cold Brew, Simple, Vanilla Cream and Cardamon. Snug Whiskey Fest is coming! May 15-17, 2026. Exclusive Tastings, TWO Brand Expo events, Festival Bottle Releases. Snug Whiskey Fest is Brand Storytelling, One Drop at a Time.

    Popped into Snug to grab a cheeky drink before dinner. Snug is the perfect place to pop into and…read morefind a drink -- the door is open. (Literally. 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.
