Thieves has stolen my heart. What a great place to enjoy a spritz while lounging on one of their…read morelovely velvet couches. In fact, they have five different spritzes on the menu, which I love to see. Of course, they have the classic Aperol spritz. But they also have some creative takes, like the rose spritz, which is what I chose. It was very tasty, light and refreshing, and not too floral, which can happen with a rose-flavored beverage. Spritzes are amazing but not enough sometimes, so I also got a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon. Yum! The pour was generous. I kept my drink orders simple this visit, but Thieves has a whole menu full of creative cocktails. What you do when you enter is just sit down, and someone will come by and take your order. But if you're visiting for coffee (because Thieves is also a coffee bar), you can order at the counter. I don't recall if they offer food. This is mostly a place to get drinks. And it's a lovely place to get drinks. Thieves is located in the heart of Broad Ripple, which means that parking is atrocious. I parked near The Vogue and walked over, but maybe you can find street parking, if you're lucky.

The decor left a lasting impression and is actually quite entertaining and made me want to take ALL the pictures lol. The server was very patient and professional with me and my heathens.

The space is cozy with large windows and garage doors- similar vibe to its former days as West Fork Whiskey. Why only three stars? The woman taking orders was painfully unfriendly. Even in my attempts to ask questions and engage, it felt like I was bothering her to place an order. It's a shame because the drip coffee was delightful and I appreciated their high top bar with outlets. I'm a big believer that coffee shops are 50% about coffee and 50% about the experience/feeling of community. I'll visit again and hope for a more warm experience next time.

Can't wait to come back!

Definitely one of the top five meals I've had in Indy…read more We came in on a Saturday night around 6:30, and were sat right away, outside at that on a beautiful sunny day. Our server was on top of it throughout the night. My only qualm with the outdoor area is the booth we were at is a two top, and there is a four top about two feet away- we could hear all the conversations down to the word next to us, and most likely vice versa. We started off with the pimento cheese. The bread was crispy, and the kimchi on top tasted authentic. We then transitioned to the birria mandu- the sauce was a little salty which I liked, and the mandu was flavored. I appreciated the pickled onions with it. We then got asparagus- probably our least favorite part of the meal. The asparagus was crunchy, the sauce was a nice touch, but the price for what we got seemed a little excessive. We split a burger and half chicken for our mains. Probably my favorite burger in all of Indy. The half chicken breading was thick, the sauce was sweet, and the mashed potatoes it came with were creamy. I could do without the broccolini on top- I didn't see how it goes with the vibe of the rest of the meal. I had an Oaxacan daiquiri as well. It was strong but not particularly overpowering. Would probably try something else when we return. Overall, the ambience was nice, service was quick, and the food was fantastic. We can't wait to return.

I would definitely recommend omitting the spread if you're sensitive to spice like me. The fries were so tasty as well! Truly one of the best burgers in the Indy area, if not the best. I am excited to return and eat inside one day to see the vibe and their space! The patio looks like the perfect place to chill out during the summer too :)

While the menu looked great, I was able to order a custom old-fashioned with Buffalo Trace KY bourbon, black walnut bitters, demerara syrup, and Luxardo cherries, and it was perfect. The bartender was not only skilled but also fun to chat with, which made the experience even better. The aesthetic here is modern, chic, and clean, and the service matches the vibe - professional, welcoming, and attentive. This is definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to during my stay. Whether you're a guest at the hotel or just nearby, Rye Bar is absolutely worth a visit!

The bar is located on the lobby level of the Marriott Downtown Indianapolis and was very busy but the bartenders did a fantastic job at filling the orders. The Rye Bar is rated as a highly recommended bar to quench your thirst.

The only thing I did not like as much was the chicken, it was a bit on the drier side but everything else was good. My favorite was the salmon topped with crab cakes, the bananas foster French toast, and the omelette I made. Teresa was AMAZING! Not only did she go out of her way to get us the type of coffee we wanted, she checked on us frequently and always made sure we were good!

We ordered the lemon drop martini, Elmo Cola, the Gatsby and liquid love affair. I asked for the liquid love affair to have a very light pour of alcohol and they obliged. Everyone loved their drinks. Even me. And I am NOT a drinker. We ordered shrimp cocktails, lobster bisque, steaks and lobster. Everything so good. My son's steak was overdone but they happily remade it and ALL the sides that came with it. Just immaculate service. We also ordered the chocolate mousse pie. We asked our server to place the candles we had brought on top. Lemme tell you. The service. Just so good. She realized they were sparkler candles so she waited to light it until she was at our table. We did ask the manager if we could present our son his gift during dinner. It was a firearm and we didn't wanna cause any drama or "unsafe" feelings even though, obvi, it wouldn't have been loaded. We did want to respect the establishment and their other patrons. He kindly declined and, of course, we understood. Can we talk about service? Just so exceptional. Customer service for me will make or break any experience. The bills was... A LOT. Even AFTER they comped everything the birthday boy had ordered. But even if they hadn't comped ANYTHING... I always believe in paying good money for good food. The place was clean. The bathroom clean. And there is a lot for parking. Just the best time was had.

The event takes place on the patio area, it's small and intimate. It is great for networking and mingling and making new connections. The staff was absolutely amazing and engaged with the crowd the entire night. I felt the vibe that they really love their job. They don't let you know about the menu prior to , which I was a bit apprehensive about but it turned out great! For starters we had some chunky guac, watermelon pico, and some kind of verde salsa with chips. 10/10! The Watermelon pico was new to me and very refreshing!! Next we had some steak fajitas with rice. I was not a fan of the rice and the steak wasn't seasoned to my liking but still a good dish! Lastly we had dessert that put me in the mind of being at the state fair. It was a pastry fried (think like funnel cake taste) and fruit ...so yummy! Now the margaritas! Enjoy as much it as little as you like! I loved experimenting and trying different combos. My favorite was the mango spicy flavor! They said they have these events quarterly or so and I can't wait to go to the next one!
