    Beers drank: 4 each. Laughs shared: so, so many.

    We had SUCH a great time the other night with Gerard leading our group! He was fun, attentive, and made sure we understood all the rules before taking off. For his first night on the job, we were SUPER impressed with him. We thought it was priced pretty reasonably, I believe we paid $35 per person. If you're looking for something to do with your 21+ crowd, this is it!

    Want to give a shout out to Handlebar for being a part of the Handlebar Hot Lap yesterday! Many thanks for supplying the vehicles and drivers, who were all very good sports! Although it's been a while, I have booked with Handlebar previously. It's always a fun time, and drivers are always outstanding! Highly recommended!

    Our group had a great time on our pedal bar tour with HandleBar Indy! We loved that there was the option to rent by bike seat instead of the whole bike as we had a smaller group. Communication from the company regarding safety, filling out the waiver in advance and what to expect was very clear and timely. While each bike seat is expensive, the overall experience is well worth the money! The driver was great at balancing the two groups that were on our bike. The bike stops at two bars and one photo opportunity during the tour. Each group was able to have some say in picking these locations. The driver stays informed about which bars are open throughout the night. There was a private event at a bar our bike was interested in and the driver was able to quickly recommend options and navigate to a different bar. Ample parking is available in a lot right next to the HandleBar building. The location is also a quick 10 minute walk to several restaurants if you are looking to grab a bite to eat before or after your tour. I would recommend creating a playlist for the tour as someone on the bike will be able to play music using the driver's aux cord. Don't forget to bring cash to tip your driver at the end of the tour! Early fall is the perfect time of year for a pedal bar tour. We had great weather right at sunset and loved seeing the city from our bike!

    Whiskey Smash for the win!

    From start to finish, this was an amazing experience! When I initially made the reservations, we thought we might have a couple of extra people (over 16), Marcus worked with me to help find solutions. Prior to our date, we continued to receive updates and information... the best part was that if we had questions, all we had to do was text! Two days before our reservation, I received an email regarding the NEW HANGAR BAR that is now part of The Handlebar. They were opening the weekend of our tour and offered us a VIP package! I immediately RSVP'd and they set us up for an hour before our tour! We arrived a little early, but they quickly seated us! They had a variety of beer on tap and delicious mixed drinks! We ordered 5 brick oven pizzas (probably a little aggressive )! Sweet Baby Cheesus (all cheese with a perfect crust), Sausage (basic, but perfect-the sausage was great quality), The Danger Zone (my favorite... sausage, pepperoni, goat cheese, sun dried tomatoes and a drizzle of hot (slightly spicy) honey! It was PERFECT! I was nervous about the honey, so I ordered it on the side... but I quickly changed my tune and drizzled it over the entire pizza). Handlebarbq (WOW... as soon as this came out everyone reached over and started picking the pickles off to enjoy! This pizza had bbq sauce, grilled chicken, red onion and of course pickle chips... a crowd favorite for sure!). The timing worked out perfect and when we finished our pizza, we settled up our tabs and headed to the bike! Our "driver" was AMAZING! He interacted well with our entire group! I secretly loved it when he called out my husband for not being on top of his bartending game... lol! He danced with us (at red lights, of course) and genuinely seemed to have a great time! He was accommodating with our stops and kept us on a good schedule! As we pulled back in to finish our tour, I found myself feeling sad to be done! Today, I received so many compliments and comments from our group... most of them said that this was their favorite Indy experience of all time! Smiles were huge, laughs were loud and hugs were exchanged... it was a perfect night! Thank you Handlebar & Hangar Bar... WE WILL BE BACK... SOON!!!

    This was so much fun! We did this for my sister in laws bachelorette and we all had a blast! Riley our driver was awesome at keeping the party going and making it fun! Highly recommend it for a new fun experience.

    Nate is the best handle bar driver. You need him to make your trip the most fun. He does red light socials and plays bar tender for us so no one has to get up. He brings such a fun atmosphere and the best time. He allows us to play the best music music. If you want a great time on the handlebar then ask for Nate!

    Lots of fun! Boomer was a great driver. Def glad we rode around at 8pm so the temperature was fantastic. I'm 4'11" and was too short to pedal LOL. Seats are comfy and wish the ride was longer. Good place to chill and see the city. Kind of pricey for my preference ($36ish dollars for 2 hours) and it's BYOB.

    Question: What is the test of fun when at a bar of any shape, size or form? Answer: Lack of alcohol. If you can be at a bar without alcohol and have the time of your life - you know it's one helluva bar. As is the case with The Handle Bar. I experienced this exciting new addition to the Indy drinking scene (on wheels) during my month of zero booze. And when I say I had a good time, I mean we were planning our next go around less than an hour into the two-hour ride. The passenger biking bar was shipped in from Amsterdam which is fairly evident via the Dutch undertones in the woodwork and German words engraved overhead. I believe physical exercise while drinking is the perfect way to pull off the best of both worlds all in one perfect bundle. And if that isn't enough, the excellent built-in music system with Ipod/phone connectivity will serve as the cherry on top - bring on the Girl Talk, Busta Rhymes, 50 Cent and Ashanti ladies and gents. Alcohol rules: You can't hop off while the bike is in motion. Beer and wine only and no glass is allowed on the bar. Food is welcome and several stops will be made along the way if you wish to purchase drinks or food at some of Indy's prime-ly located bars and eateries. Stephen, the owner and BarMeister, definitely has the Hostess with the Mostess thing down pat. By the end of the ride you'll want to claim him as a friend.

    @ the end of the tour!

    What. A. Blast!!! Corey was our driver for our friends bachelorette weekend bash. He was so great and made sure we all had a good time. We did the evening twilight tour so it was a little fast but worth it. Definitely want to come back for another girls weekend and do the longer tour. Lots of ease when it comes to booking and communicating questions.

    I love the handlebar concept, I've ridden many times before and will go back as much as time and funds allow. You can pick up your handlebar just outside of what used to tow yard brewing. Then your waiver is checked and you hop on the bar, ps don't pull up by the cup holders because they will pop out, and you get an important safety talk. Essentially don't jump off the handlebar, don't lean back.. Just don't get crazy and try and be a responsible adult. Then you get a lovely tour of Indy! As you peddle to different bars from an area of your choosing. It's great because you can also listen to music as you peddle along! Usually, the first stop is on the circle for a big group photo, and then you start the trip to different bars. Whats nice is you usually get about 10-15 min in each bar and then you get back on, and can continue the beverage consumption from your own cooler! This is an awesome thing to do with a group of friends when the weather is nice!

    First time riding the handlebar. They limited to 12 people, leaving the back few seats empty. Not sure if that's due to COVID or what good that does. Masks were not required. The driver was very helpful with getting us drinks throughout the ride, and safely storing our bags and coats. Overall it was a good time!

    This is a review for the membership and lessons at Five Iron. Warning, kinda long!…read more I hesitate to complete a review too early on, as one tends to be in the honeymoon phase, but almost three months in, I believe I've gotten a good representation. I had just finished a 5-week clinic that peaked my interest in picking up golf, but with fall around the corner, I needed a facility where I could start practicing and one that had early hours and Five Iron was one of the places suggested to me. I was able to set up a 1 week trail with Ian, and I was easily booked in their system to come try out their facilities. It is an incredibly nice touch that the staff greets you by name, and during my first visit, I was walked through the tech and made known to alert the staff if there were any issues. There are two different sets of clubs that are available to use if you don't own your own set. I definitely took advantage of this until I purchased my own set. Water is always made available at the bays, and if one so chooses, there are drink and food options to order as well. Ian followed up on my trial after the end of the week and I made the commitment to a membership due to the comfortable atmosphere provided. As a female, I was concerned about getting a "boys club" kind of vibe, but environment is extremely welcoming. Since I live so close by, the membership has been great. I've been able to set up a routine for practice and have never had any issues getting an hour - 1.5hr in during member times, but I also think it helps when I am going in first thing in the morning before work. Other perks include showers, club storage, light breakfast options, and 20% discount on classes, etc. With the membership, one of the perks is one swing evaluation. However, as a complete beginner whose only skill was making ball contact, James Tobia, who is the senior golf instructor, was kind enough to tailor it to more of a fundamentals so I was walking away knowing more than I started. At the end of it, he gave a great breakdown plus how future lessons would look like if I wanted to continue down that path. There was no up-selling or pressure and I was responding well to his teaching techniques, so I decided to book a few lessons. From my limited knowledge, I believe I have improved drastically since my first time holding a club. James is very focused on the foundations, and is very technical, but he is able to break it down in a way that is understandable. My form is already better and I am developing a decent backswing and working on my downswing and follow-through. Highly enjoy learning from James - he is extremely professional but approachable as well. I also want to add that I interact with Steven and Stephen the most out of all the staff at Five Iron. Both have been extremely helpful anytime I needed help and easy to work with. It's a great spot in downtown Indy and worth checking out!

It was a very open space with very prompt and kind staff. The food was delicious with the appetizer bar being the biggest hit. The veggies were incredibly fresh and you could taste every ingredient. The hot honey whipped ricotta was by far the best. Many people were playing the golf simulation but there was one area where you could select over a handful of games besides gold. The sensor seemed to be greatly off and made all games feel incredibly random. Overall it was a fun experience with a lot of seating for guests to enjoy

    Okay- I am a new golfer, so this review is based on that information…read more Watch out for the driving range balls coming over on the first two tees, and then when getting to the third tee, you must go through a lot of broken concrete, so beware. This was the first full hole of golf I had ever played, so Saddlebrook will be a great memory in my heart. I have played many times since and still will come back here. This course is maintained; I would not say it is the best course I have ever played and that they keep it immaculate, but it is a great course to get in and out of. That being said, we have been slowed so many times here. I understand that it is a public type course, but there have been times when no carts are available for your tee time, and that should never happen. The play can be slow and I have not seen anyone doing anything to move it along. We are not all great golfers (well, some are), but we know how to play fast. I learned that at Saddlebrook, I also wish everyone else would play in that manner. Bathrooms are decent, drinks are available, and the carts are good. Port-a-potty was available in the back 9.

I tried to take my husband here for his once a year golf outing for Father's day, and to teach our son how to play, and were told to come back when we had more practice, and could play faster. The tee times were 10 minutes apart, there was not even an opportunity to half finish the first hole before there were people waiting to T off. I highly recommend going any place else in the world to play golf. The 15 year old kid that was the "ranger" suggested we go play on a virtual course and get better before coming back. Thank you Saddlebrook for treating us so poorly on the first father's day outing we had since both out fathers passed. May your greens be filled with thistles and your sprinkler system fail.

Too bad it's private and thus only open to members. It's a Pete Dye course, so from a player/spectator perspective, it's a golfer's paradise.
