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.

I'm sick of so many restaurant bars being corporate sellouts and charging an arm and a leg for crap food and weak drinks. Alley Cat is for the people! The burgers and wings are solid and taste freshly prepared. They also have high quality yet affordable steaks supplied by our local butcher, you'll be hard pressed to find a better deal. Even the greens in the salads are pristine. They can actually make some decent cocktails too, great place to grab a solid old fashioned or bloody mary without being completely robbed. They have a few different bar areas: a pub/dining area, then a sports bar vibe to the right, and of course the dive bar off the alleyway and pool tables. A place for everyone!

It was fresh, clean, cozy, and had excellent service. Although I didn't get any food, I did get a couple of cocktails and they were not only delicious, but were also SO cheap compared to bougie bars that I've frequented. Don't tell anyone else how good the Alley Cat Lounge is, though, so I can still have a seat. ;)

Their breadsticks are amazing as well but I am a chicken wing connoisseur and they've never let me down haha. The wings were well seasoned and the fries were a perfect crisp. I had sides of ranch and honey mustard. To drink, I tried a new (for me) flavor of their long islands - the Grateful Dead (main flavor being raspberry). It was ok, but I'm on a mission to try newer flavors and I don't think I would get this one again. My usual go-to is the Electric Lemonade! Customer Service: Corynn is an awesome waitress! She was attentive and responsive and sold me on the fudge brownie for dessert! My food came out fairly quicky, and it was a light crowd. Nothing negative to say here! Ambiance: This location in Broad Ripple is just like downtown. Plenty of space and tvs but expect it to be packed when it's a big game day. It's a casual environment, come as you are with family or friends. Great for lunch and dinner or a late night out!

I ordered an expresso martini which was good, but not a typical order at the bar. It was tasty. I also ordered wings and fries. The wings were seasoned well and super crispy.

First of all, when my group of nine arrived, there was no greeting. I may be old-fashioned, but a…read moresimple acknowledgment at the door would have gone a long way and likely earned an extra star from me. Secondly, after we were seated, we waited about 15 minutes before realizing that table service wasn't offered. It would have been helpful if this had been communicated upfront. Third, when we went to the bar to order wings and fries, the wait time was roughly 50 minutes. My food was then handed to the wrong customer, and I had to retrieve it myself. Fortunately, the customer--who appeared to be very intoxicated--recognized the mistake and sat back down. When I finally received my order, it was packaged in a sealed foam container with no ventilation, which caused the steam from the wings to make the fries soggy. Overall, I won't be returning. The lack of basic customer service and attention to proper food handling made this a very disappointing experience.

I had the 12oz ribeye which was on the thin side but overall was a good steak. I expected a grizzly steak with a good amount of fat but it was on the leaner side for a ribeye and the whole steak was edible. My sides were fries(crinkle cut) and salad (a blen of iceberg and green leaf along with other veggies and cheese). Served with Texas toast. Overall a good value meal! Worth stopping for. The atmosphere was ok. A little stale and preppie. I believe they have another bar area which is divided by a wall, I cannot comment on that if so. Where I sat was more of a diner atmosphere with alcohol. Service was good

It was dark, definitely a late night bar, and was normally the place to grab your last beer of the night before heading home!

I was there for St. Patty's day and the drinks were cold the corn beef & cabbage authentic and filling, and the camaraderie as cheerful and rambunctious as you would expect! I highly recommend!

So apparently you can rent the facility prior to them opening at 10pm. So the party was from 6-10. You have access to the entire place and the outside area as well. You can also cater in your own food, so it's not like you have to use their contacts, but it does have to be catered, you can't bring in homemade food. You can also bring in a DJ. This particular party had a cash bar but you can make arrangements for it to be an open bar if you would like. The most exciting thing is you only have to have I think a $400 liquor minimum. Well if you have a decent crowd, I'm sure that's pretty easy. I also wasn't aware that they actually have a parking lot for your guests as well.
