I've sat in to enjoy a beverage and meal & also habe picked up To Go with Ash and Elm on Washington St. All experiences have been quitet lovely. I really enjoy their cider and decided to join the cider club so I can have each flavor every month! The smash burger was rly yummy! Not at all greasy, sometimes when u get smash burgers theres quite a bit of grease in the bread and all over really, not theirs!! The staff was so friendly and hilarious too, Im so excited to make it back in every month! They even offered me a glass of the monthly cider while I waited for my food to be made! The poor things have fallen victim to the lovely ongoing traffic, but dont let stop you from popping in. Their parking is accessible! I decided to also give it a shot and worked remote from their space and it has been so enjoyable. Accommodating with WiFi, service 5stars again as always too! read more

I tasted their cider at the Broad Ripple farmers market and they told me they had a restaurant. So I tried with my friends. I can say that if you are looking for lunch/brunch place on weekend, you need to try this place. We had chips with 3 different dips and Brussel sprouts for appetizers. I had the Mediterranean bowl for my lunch. Everything tasted good and fresh! My friends also liked what they had. They tried cider flights, also. I like their ESD so I just went for it. It's a nice friendly place. This is not a huge restaurant but big glass windows take lots of outside lights in which makes you feel this place is very spacious. I hope the city finishes construction on Washington street soon, tho. read more

Made a reservation for Trivia for a party of 5 and was seated at a plastic fold-up table with folding chairs. It was incredibly uncomfortable. In my opinion, they should not allow for reservations if they do not have capacity. Love the Bloomsberry cider! Love the cider, but the food is just okay (and overpriced in my opinion). Also, the parking situation with construction was confusing. I tried to look at their FB and IG pages for updates on where to park, but wasn't able to find any information in a reasonable amount of time. read more

I like their cider but I had never come here for the sit-down dining experience. They are on Washington street and have a free parking lot. They didn't have a menu book and there was a QR code. We went for lunch. While their cider is absolutely wonderful, I was a bit disappointed with the food. I got a smash burger and chicken tortilla soup ( glad this was an option as a side). Soup was great, and I should have gotten a big bowl of that. Smash burger's patty was dry, lacked flavor and umami. It's a smash burger so it didn't have any sauce in it, so it was bland as a whole. I will always love the ciders but may not come back for the food. Service was great on the other hand, our server answered welcomed questions and did a great job explaining menu and different types of cider to us. read more

Had a GREAT time at bingo, 10/5 stars for the entertainment, but the food was dreadful. The pretzels seemed like a good deal, where you can add a second for $2, but I see why - they're definitely the cheap, frozen kind. The cheese sauce was a very strange flavor and grainy. Our waiter was nice but pretty MIA. Drinks were good (especially the mulled cider) but the first round, over 30 minutes before the event started, took more than 30 minutes to receive. The nachos were soggy with way too much of the same gross cheese sauce (I didn't realize it was the same sauce when ordering, so that's my mistake). Lots of upcharges here for very low quality items, which is a bummer. The chicken tenders were hard and burnt, but the bbq sauce was good, despite being $1.50 to add. The fries were the frozen kind so nothing exciting there. My friend's burger got cold while waiting on bacon, which was thin and black, dropped off by the kitchen. By the time our waiter came, we were done eating what we could. Overall, I would never, ever eat here again, especially when 3 ciders, 2 apps, and 1 entree was over $100 for such low quality food, but I'd check out bingo at the other Ash & Elm location in Carmel. PS it looks like they used to have great food here, anyone know what happened?! read more

Went with some friends to the monthly drag bingo. The food was rough. The drinks and entertainment were great! We got the pretzel, which was okay but tasted like it came out of one of the frozen packets you get at the store. I got the burger and added egg and bacon. The bacon was missing, and by the time they finally brought it out my burger was cold. The bacon was VERY burnt, but I couldn't find my server to alert them of the issue - I ate it because I didn't feel like waiting for fresh bacon and an even colder burger. For $3 for bacon, 2 burnt pieces is absurd pricing. The burger is small in size for the price, so not somewhere I'd want to eat again. I'd come for the drinks and events though! read more

We actually fell in love with Ash & Elm Cider from the grocery store before knowing they had restaurant locations. But as soon as we looked into, we knew we had to try the cider fresh from the tap. And it didn't disappoint! They really know how to make a crisp brew. Their location is just east of downtown in a nice up-and-coming neighborhood. We easily found parking and they were not too busy at lunchtime during the week. Excellent service, no complaints. The food was also really good. My husband went for the Cuban Sandwich - typical of him - and he really enjoyed it. I had the Harvest Salad and was equally impressed. We will definitely be back. It appears that they host a lot of events and theme nights, so we are going to try to make it back for one of those. read more

This place deserves a lot of love! Aside from the great food and beverages, a hallmark trait of this restaurant is its inclusivity. In a culinary sense, it is a haven for gluten free diners and there are also several vegetarian and vegan options. Their menu is truly amazing for gf indulgences - fries and all desserts are gf! I also learned that they are making changes to their menu soon so that all fryers are dedicated gluten free. As a mom, I can enjoy going out with my toddler in tow at a hip cider taproom and feeling welcomed wholeheartedly. They bring over a coloring page and markers and have a great selection of affordable kids meals. The staff are always relaxed and friendly, often sharing recommendations. They will even mix ciders so I can enjoy a seasonal flavor with a more dry finish. They also host several fun events throughout the year for different audiences. The taproom is filled with natural light and has a lot of space for diners to relax. If you haven't been, check it out! read more

I came here for a group outing after work and we had such a good experience. I already loved A&E ciders, but it was great to stop in the bar for a cider flight. This was when they had the seasonal fall flavors and every single one was absolutely fire! I also got the grilled cheese and it was very tasty :) would definitely go again. read more

Will 100% continue to come here. I'm normally not a cider gal but embraced it. If you're not sure, always try a flight and go crazy. Food was phenomenal and the customer service was even better. They even suggested things to do around town that might. The vibe was warm but the space was large and spacious and very bright. If you're looking for an intimate date night, I don't think this is the place. Didn't show our burgers and fries. They have big selection of toppings read more

Ash & Elm has been my favorite cidery in Indy since it first opened! They are always trying new flavors and keep a large selection on tap, which is great for flights! They also change their food menu based on the season. It's a laid back atmosphere with plenty of seating inside, as well as some outdoor seating. The staff has always been super friendly every time I've visited. My only issue is with the parking, which is limited and off to the side along an alley. They host events all year round too, so be sure to check their Facebook page! read more

The ambiance was fun, as they were doing some trivia. Our waitress Stevie was excellent and took good care of us. We had the dry cider, which is excellent. I had the roast turkey sandwich with the bacon jam. I found the bacon jam to be overpowering to the turkey, which I couldn't even taste. I probably would not order this sandwich again. The tomato bisque I had on the side was thick and flavorful. My husband had the smash burger and he liked it. Overall a nice meal in a fun atmosphere. I would LOVE to come back for the Drag Bingo, but I probably wouldn't order food, just the cider. read more

I met a colleague from out of town for a spontaneous dinner. The vibe was relaxed, room is spacious (alert for those with sound concerns: very echoey, bring ear protection), and accessible seating/clear sight make it great for multiple physical challenges. Served was attentive and fun, and gave great recommendations on ciders we might enjoy. I opted for the grilled cheese which is way better than a homemade grilled cheese. Bread was crunchy and delicious, and I remember at least three cheeses? Also had a side of pureed tomato soup, and it was spicy and delicious on our cold evening. I did take home a growler of my cider, because I couldn't resist! read more

Came to Indy for TS weekend. I love how all the local businesses went all in for the weekend. Ash & Elm Cider had a custom Taylor Swift menu with the most creative menu for the weekend. Although the place was slammed, our server was super nice and took care of us. I tried the blood orange cider and it was very good. I normally am a wine and beer person but this cider wasn't overly sweet... it actually reminded me more as a hazy ipa. My swiftie burger was the double patty. Definitely surprising since I'm used to cider places that don't have a kitchen and rely on food trucks to come by. The taproom itself is a big open space with pretty cool decorations. I know some decor was temporary for the weekend but the regular art on the walls looked cool and there large windows (maybe used to be a warehouse) let in a lot of light. read more

Enjoyed lunch here on a Sunday afternoon. Weren't many customers inside. Service was fast and our waitress was nice. The food was all good, but nothing spectacular... besides the sweet drop peppers that came in the harvest salad, they were delicious!!

A locally owned business only 5 minutes from where I work downtown? With a with variety of delicious and ambitious hard ciders AND amazing food? That's Ash and Elm Cider. I was fortunate to have my birthday celebration down at Ash and Elm on my birthday last year and it was just perfect. The serving staff made us feel at home and even recommended some last minute Christmas gifts for my better half. This location has a casual setting with high ceilings and is not far from the center of Indianapolis. We will be going back there on the regular. read more

I've had Ash & Elm ciders in cans at events around town, so I was excited to use Devour Indy as an opportunity to check out their taproom and restaurant. We were seated quickly on a Sunday and left to take in the light-filled former industrial space while we mulled over the menu. Ciders: my partner and I split a "special flight" (Tropical Escape, Obscura, Marigold Chai, Sugar Plum) and a "flagship flight" (landstone, wayfinder, sunset, fleeting youth) that were brought to our table quickly after ordering. Really enjoyed Sunset and Fleeting Youth--better on draught than what I've had from a can previously, though both are good. The Marigold Chai was warm but light and fruity. That one, along with the Tropical Escape, made me seriously consider joining their cider of the month club. As far as food goes, the mozzarella bruschetta wasn't bad but I was hoping for more of a "gooey" cheese. It's hard to make a good bruschetta when so many of the ingredients are out of season, but I felt like the mix could have used some more time sitting in balsamic vinegar and oil. I loved the Southwest Bowl piled high with pickled onions, black beans, guac, lettuce, and pork, but my boyfriend really disliked like pork (we both loved the guac). To each his own, I guess! The cider donut balls had a good flavor, but were a little too crispy. Overall, I'd say the ciders get 5/5 and the food gets a 3/5. I'd give staff the benefit of the doubt that they're pretty beat by the end of Devour and would try the food again. read more

I never was able to go to the old location but I've been to this Ash & Elm a few times for trivia. It's a big place!! Lots of great cider and really good food!! I got a few appetizers and snacked on them while we played and they're all fantastic! My only complaint is that the space has little to no parking. If it's busy, you'll have to find parking down the street. I didn't few loops with the construction around too. read more

Wow, what a great experience we had here. Came on a Friday night, and had reservations. We saw on their instagram that they were full of reservations for the evening so to be patient. We were pleasantly sat quickly, and greeted quickly as well. I started off with a glass of rose. Not a big cider or beer guy. Overall, pretty good. My wife and I did the devour for two. We started off with the elote fritters and arancini. The fritters were amazing- the sauce that came with them was to die for (I thought about licking the plate to get it all off). The arancini were fried perfectly, had a great crunch, and the marinara tasted fresh. I had the beef bulgogi bowl. It had fresh vegetables, and was great. I also ate the rest of my wife's steak and fries from her surf and turf- fries were great. We had donuts and a coconut brownie for desert. Nothing great- pretty typical run of the mill- nothing to write home about. Everything felt clean and open. Eager to return. read more

BLOWN AWAY! Wow, I have been wanted to visit Ash & Elm for a while, but I was just expecting regular brewery level food. I was pleasantly surprised with everything I had here was absolutely excellent! We had a reservation for a Friday night during Devour Indy, and were promptly seated. The service was attentive throughout the meal. I began with a cider flight, which were all great. My husband and I split the Arancini and Elote Fritters. The Elote Fritters were delicious, with a lime flavor and get consistency. The Arancini were good and of a nice large size. For my entree, I chose to Surf and Turf. The steak was a large size for the cost. The shrimp were seasoned well, I usually am not a big seafood girl but I thought these were very good. The Parmesan fries were so good as well, and I enjoyed the sauce they were served with. For dessert, my husband and I split the Coconut Brownie and Cider Donut Holes. The brownie had a rich cocoa flavor, and I felt the coconut flavor really shined through. The donut holes were topped with caramel and were nice and crispy on the outside but soft and warm on the inside! Both were very good! Overall, I HIGHLY recommend dining here. I cannot wait to visit again and try more menu items! read more

I had been wanting to visit Ash & Elm as I've tried their cider from purchasing it at the grocery or farmers market. We were downtown, and finally made the trip over and I wish I had visited sooner! Parking was easy, and it's nice that there is a lot west of the building. I thought the space was well done, and I liked the vibe. It's definitely a place I'd come to hang out with friends. I opted to try a cider flight, and everything I tried was so good!! For dinner I ordered the roast turkey sandwich with a side salad. I love that they offer salads as a side.

I've always seen Ash & Elm at Indy farmers markets but never knew they had an actual sit-down restaurant. I came here to take advantage of the Devour Indy 3 course meal and I was pleasantly surprised! The location is just outside of downtown on the East side in an industrial building. Just follow the signs posted on the door and you'll see the entrance. Stepping inside, I LOVED all the colors and decor of the restaurant. My table was seated immediately and we had our orders taken within 5 minutes. My boyfriend and I got our own 3 course dinners, so we decided to get 2 different appetizers for max variety possible. We got the arancini and elote fritters. The elote fritters were amazing, and the tangy sour crema that's served on the bottom is what makes it so great. The arancini were also delicious, but I just wasn't *as* impressed. For my entree, I got the vegan bowl which came with white rice, fried breaded tofu, kimchi, mushrooms, and avocado. The server informed me that the kitchen ran out of broccolini, so they replaced it with double kimchi. Honestly, I have a low expectation for anything vegan, but this bowl was filling, healthy, and delicious! Tofu is a difficult protein to cook correctly, especially fried - Ash & Elm's tofu is so crispy! For dessert, we both got their cider donuts that came with a yummy caramel sauce for dipping. To be honest, I didn't taste too much of the "cider" in the donuts, but the sauce made them extra tasty! I feel like there is a hint of alcohol (bourbon?) that made the caramel sauce top-notch. read more

Love: The cider. I especially loved Sunset and Strawberry Lemonade. I had another one that I think was blueberry that I liked too. They were all good, but I loved the Sunset and Strawberry the most. I see there are rotating ciders, I'm going to come back to try more. Like: The food. I tried the cider braised chicken, it was good. The menu was small, and most of the food looked good but the small menu I'm not sure about. I won't come back for the food neccessarily, but I'll eat when I'm here. I think based on the food I'd give it a 4, but the service was excellent so I give 5 stars. My server Lisa was so attentive and explained everything, answered all my questions, and was cute to boot. This is a place I will come back to. read more

Came here for the first time as part of a Feathers and Fermentation event. Their cider hits it out of the park. I especially loved their seasonal orange earl grey cider which I cannot stop thinking about. The others were also very tasty and even my picky partner enjoys their cider which says a lot. I'm not sure if it was the beverages but their cookies were some of the best. I only tasted a couple appetizers after the event but the pretzels were something that really stuck out to me. Definitely will be back for a full food experience soon. They also put on lots of fun events so I'm excited to attend more! read more

I enjoyed my time at ash and elm. We went to bingo yesterday, they host events throughout the month! We tried their all of their ciders by the end of the night. They have flights available which made that super easy! We also grabbed some food while we are there. Their kitchen is great. I loved all the food I ended up getting. They do a last call for kitchen so make sure you get there well before closing. They do have some decent vegan options if that is your jam. They release seasonal ciders, I'm excited to try their fall releases. Definitely recommend going to their location downtown! The employees are top tier and willing to walk you through everything.

We have been wanting to check out Ash & Elm to try all their cider options. They have a few ciders that are always available and then rotating flavors throughout the year. We ended up buying the cider sample pack from the 2022 flavors of the month and are excited to try those later! You can either buy a glass or do a flight. For the flights, you can sample as many as you want and each sample is $2.25. Between my husband and I, we tried most of the rotating/season flavors plus their semi-sweet. I've had the tart cherry before but I would say the tart cherry and semi-sweet were my favorite! All had good flavor though and were interesting to try. We also came home with a 4 pack of the chai flavor and a growler of the Autumntide. We weren't super hungry so just split some fries- the aioli and ranch dressing were delicious. The cilanto lime had way too much lime for us but everything else was good- the fries were crispy and fresh. The menu has lots of gluten free options or ways to make meals gluten free too. I want to return to try the dreamsicle flavor in February and other food items! read more
