Got a late night snack with friends after work and they highly recommended Chatham. Walked over from Clowes and we were seated right away. Stephanie was our waitress. I ordered the bleu burger that had a chipotle sauce and Gorgonzola on it with a side of fries. For the drink I ordered the blueberry cider. Great choices! The burger was perfectly cooked and the ratio of sauce and cheese was excellent. Quite the tasty burger I must say. My friends ordered the war pig and boneless wings which I was able to try both as well and they were quite delicious. That sandwich was a good portion to share and the wing sauce was very good and I still was trying to figure out the concoction. Sherry was also so sweet and we definitely plan on coming back sometime after our shift.
Super tasty food and friendly service. Parking can be hard to find, but it's worth a stop in if you're already in campus. The outdoor patio is great in the warmer months.
Service was great and the setting screamed college experience, fun pub on a college campus I enjoy being around...nice experience, but the food was pedestrian this time (first visit)...but not too expensive, so I'll return to see what else they have...any recommendations?
If you are used to quality poultry, do not eat the chicken wings. Worst chicken I have ever eaten. Very low quality.
If beer and pub grub are your thing, this is the perfect place for you. Lots of folks visit here before and after the shows on campus, so be prepared. The portions here are quite generous and the prices fairly reasonable. Service is a bit of a hit and miss, but the food comes out rather quickly. Most of the restaurant is either high-tops or booths, so be aware in case you need accommodations. I believe their are a couple of accessible tables in the far corner though.
My husband and I stopped in here for a late dinner after an event at Clowes Memorial Hall. For a Saturday night, it wasn't very busy, so we were seated right away and had a nice spot on the patio to enjoy the great weather. Our server was really nice and checked-in often, despite it eventually picking up quite a bit with other people walking down from the event and lots of carry out traffic. She made sure we had plenty of water and fresh beers and our food came out hot, although there was a little bit of a wait. We were so hungry and ate every last bit of wings on our plates before finishing up our beers and heading home. I can't wait to stop in again!
Great place to stop by for dinner after a show at Clowes Hall. It is open late and has a large menu.
The Chatham Tap at Butler University seems like it would be quite the hopping place if you went during the regular semester, but is quite relaxed during the summer. A group of friends and I went to see the Pacers game, shown on every TV in the place for easy viewing. Despite the establishment being only about 1/3 full, service was somewhat slow. Granted, we were waiting a while for a few members of our party to arrive, there was still long stretches of time where our table was not tended to. However, the food was well worth the wait. We ordered... Spinach and artichoke dip ($10 or 11, not pictured): served with pita chips and Parisian bread. This was absolutely decadent and a great introduction to the dining experience. Southern BBQ pork sandwich ($11, 13 with fries): as a southerner myself, I always have high expectations for my BBQ and this met the bar, but did not dazzle me. You get a good heaping of pulled pork on your sandwich, along with the delicious onion rings. I do think the pickles are a bit briny so I went without them on my sandwich. Raspberry lemon cheesecake (MP $8, not pictured): this is a rotating dessert on their menu, though I don't think this is necessarily a mainstay contender. It is a fine cake, but does not have that classic cheesecake flavor, and the lemon is very subdued in the raspberry. Chocolate layer cake ($6): quite delicious, but as a disclaimer, it is made with peanut butter frosting, which is not listed on the menu. Our server did ask if anyone had peanut allergies as we did share, but it is always a slippery slope unless such an ingredient is listed on the menu. This cake is also served with strawberry slices and a raspberry syrup, which I think is not needed for the cake itself. I could certainly come here again, and I would certainly love to try some of the other options!
My son and I stopped in for dinner before seeing Sal Vulcano at Clowes. We didn't have a wait. The staff were very nice and attentive. We sat on the bar side and it had many TVs available for viewing. It was nice, looked like a pub setting with the different flags and memorabilia. I ordered the Earls Club with chips. The sandwich was good and the chips were chips. We were able to get in and out in a timely manner. I felt it was a little pricey for my small sandwich, but it was good.
We went to Chatham Tap Butler before the Mike Birbiglia show the other night. It was super busy but they kept up! We sat at the bar. Hubs got the nachos and I got the French dip. The French dip was lovely, really well seasoned and tender. The sweet potato fries were cold when I got them but the rest of our food was hot and fresh. It's a great place with lots of TVs so it's got a nice vibe and you can see whatever sports you'd like while there too.
We enjoyed a strangely, wonderful, relaxing and delicious lunch this afternoon. On Saturday's, we try to take our well behaved, 60 lb. Treeing Tennessee Brindle Hound, Baxter, to lunch at one of the nearby restaurants with a dog friendly patio. With rain expected in the Indy area in the next 2-3 hours, we were selective where we choose for lunch. We hoped to miss the rain totally, but it didn't happen. Chatham Tap, at Butler University, has a covered awning with a heater, ceiling fan and wide patio awning which kept us 100% dry. We watched the rain, and the Butler fans darting in and out of the rain, while enjoying our delicious lunch and still had a dry space to enjoy our dog. We explained our rain plan to the hostess and she was happy to seat us under the awning. We had a friendly greeting from our server who proceeded to deliver our beers and cocktails quickly. Light ales to rich stouts, imports and craft beers are available plus a well stocked full bar. Happy Hour runs Mon. through Fri., 3:00 - 6:00, with a nice menu to choose from. Buffalo Chicken Dip is one of my favorites as well as the Chicken Wings with Chipotle Apricot, BBQ, Hot Buffalo or Teriyaki are just a few of our favorite sauces. The Fried Pickles are delicious and the Nachos are so satisfying. Today, I had a delicious Flint's Meatball Sub with a 1/2 lb. of beef and pork homemade meatballs topped with excellent, well seasoned, marinara sauce, provolone, parmesan and oregano on a hoagie bun. My husband ordered the always amazing Half Order of Fish and Chips served with 3 filets placed on top of flavorful, seasoned, crisp fries. It's one of our favorite meals. Our server was personable and provided excellent service. The menu offers all the typical Pub food with soups and salads, burgers, sandwiches, terrific burgers, pizzas plus some special entrees (Scotch Eggs, War Pig, Reubens, Rasher and Apple Bacon plus more). They also open early to serve breakfast for many of the soccer games aired on T.V. Check social media for dates. The parking garage is well marked and afforable with increased parking prices for special events. Stop in for good food, terrific selection of brews, and soccer's games.
We came after a volleyball game to hang out, have some dinner and drinks, and watch the Pacers game. TVs galore, 21+ bar, great food, and we had great service at the bar. I absolutely loved my Haitian martini. It was a rum based sweet tiki drink and I would have 10 of them if I could! I could see this being a more rowdy, loud bar during the school season, but we really enjoyed it when we went at the end of May.
The customer service here is excellent. I asked for a chicken taco salad similar to what is served at the Mass Ave location. The item was not on the menu but the chef was willing to look up pictures and ask me how I would like it so he could make it. He was very nice and came to check in to see if everything turned out good. I appreciate the chef for attempting this dish even though this location doesn't have it on their menu or make it.
THIS FIVE STAR REVIEW IS A RESULT OF THE AMAZING SERVICE OUR PARTY OF FIVE RECEIVED FROM CARA! Chatham Tap Butler is our regular dining destination before our Clowes Hall shows. We normally allow 2 1/2 hours prior to the show to be at Chatham. Over the years, the service is hit and miss. But on this occasion it was the very best we have ever had at this location. Now this was a Friday evening with a FIFA crowd inside and a Clowes Hall show of & JULIET MUSICAL. The place was packed. We were seated quickly outside in the shade. Cara arrived soon after and took drink orders. Our normal appetizer of wings were delivered and were hot and delicious as normal. In fact, the food is always delicious no matter what's ordered from the menu. The cocktails are great as well. What impressed me is how attentive Cara was to our table and the patio guests under her care. She was hustling and deserved a pat on the back. My antipasto salad was great and my wife's veggie pizza was very satisfying and served piping hot. A job well done. read more

If you're visiting an event at Clowes Halls at Butler, then Chatham Tap is a great spot to dine beforehand or afterward. The sports bar menu has appetizers, soups, salads, and sandwiches with a full bar. The food is good, be sure to arrive early if dining, and servers are prepared for sporting events on flatscreens, games at Butler Bowl, or Hinkle Field House or events at Clowes Hall. The atmosphere is a sports bar so it can be very loud during a game. Dine at a large, 6/8 person booths, tall-top tables in bar area, dine at bar option with current enclosed patio seating. Regular height tables are available in another dining room. You can park in the Sunset Parking Garage directly behind Clowes Hall located in the 4700 block of Sunset Avenue between 46th and 49th Streets. Event parking is usually $10 (cash or card accepted). Easy to locate as traffic cones and employees will direct you into the garage. It is a very short walk (75 yds.) from the parking garage to the entrance of Clowes Hall. Metered Street parking is available in front of Chatham Tap and accepts coins or cards with a 2-HOUR LIMIT. Metered parking is enforced 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Do not park at a broken meter as you will receive a ticket you'll be responsible for. So last night when I attended The Nutcracker, at Clowes, it was so convenient and affordable. I parked once, at the garage, had dinner at Chatham Tap, again feet from the garage, then walked approximately 75 yards to entrance of Clowes Hall. One of the main reasons I love coming to Butler for events and Chatham Tap to grab a meal. read more
With this being the only restaurant on Butler campus I had expected it to be decent, but unfortunately my dining experience was just... "ok" and not great. I liked the sports bar atmosphere but the place was so quiet and dead. The service was very slow. Few minutes to be greeted by the server, the food didn't take long but I didn't get things I asked our server for (drink refills and extra napkins). I eventually reminded her and got my refill but didn't get the napkin when I was eating and needed it the most, so I gave up. They have decent selection of food, but it's definitely on the pricey side considering it is on campus and targeted customer base is largely students (I would assume?) My burger was good, but nothing really stood out and I will probably not return. If you live in the area I think this could be a great place to gather with friends and watch games. read more

We stopped in on a whim and quickly found seats at the bar. Butler U was on spring break, so parking was easy and it wasn't too crowded. The menu was definitely English pub, but was surprisingly fresh and hit the spot. Our service was great, too! read more

Vibe. The first time I went there was before a Butler game and it was perfectly fine. Seemed like another good sports bar with a lot of TVs. THEN...I went there for the World Cup and it was a VIBE. A soccer vibe. They are a soccer bar after all. They don't just show the World Cup folks they also show Premier and Champions league whenever it is on. They will even open before 10 am for early start matches. Butler Games. It is right by Hinkle so unless you best plan to get there early if you want to go here before a Butler game because so does everyone else. As such, get there early or go elsewhere. Service. We are bar folk. Bar service has always been great. Food. Wings - Fantastic. Breadsticks - really good. Soft Pretzels - tasty but nothing special. Breakfast - average. Drinks. The bar is huge and that's where you should sit. Beer list for days. read more

What a great location located on the Butler University campus. This location has a nice outdoor patio area and a huge bar inside with tons of TV's to watch games. We arrived around 6:00 pm and ordered and waited for close to an hour to get our food. That left us with 15 mins to eat pay the bill and get over to Clowes Hall. We were rushed and didn't get to finish our meals. I really liked this place I just think they needed more help. We sat there for awhile with nothing to drink not even water. The fish n chips, hamburger, salad, and my Reuben which was really good all looked great. They have excellent ranch! It you're a ranch lover try it. It was unfortunate that we couldn't finish them there and had to hurry. I noticed the table sitting next us arrived about 30 mins after us all received their food before us. We all were like what in the world is going on? I will try this place again and hopefully we will have better service. read more

Went to the "tap" ahead of a Clowes presentation. They don't take reservations and said if we wanted to eat before presentation to arrive between 5-5:30 We thought that time would be too early but it worked out great We were greeted right away and told open seating in the bar. We picked up seats and our waiter arrived right away I had a Bloody Mary. Just ok no garnish, in store made bloody sauce. Nothing great My husband had Guinness. Good and cold regular pub glass. I had a English Ale. Very good My husband had the fish poor boy. The menu said served with coleslaw and Louisiana sauce. He requested tarter sauce and coleslaw on the side. They charged $1.00 up charge for tarter sauce and the slaw was undressed cabbage. The bun it was served on was fresh and delicious. My husband loved the fish and the way it was prepared. He also ordered onion rings. Freshly battered and crispy. Not too much batter. I had a chicken club sandwich. It was totally awesome. Served on in house made black bean bread. Swiss cheese, I ordered by chicken breaded, tomatoes, onion and lettuce maybe bacon. It was a huge sandwich well worth the price Waiter was responsive to our needs and presented check in a reasonable time We will be back. Great meal and experience read more

I'd like to start my critique by saying that the service was excellent. I was seated right away, and the waitress was tentative, but not overbearing. The ambiance of the place was fine. Soccer paraphernalia is everywhere. The pub certainly caters to sports fans, but there were many conversations taking place around me, and there is a bit of a scholarly air - which is par for an establishment on a university campus. The food was ok. I didn't think it was possible to burn fish n' chips, but the cook staff managed to pull it off. In that regard, I suppose they were very much like pubs in England: great service, great ambience, and sub par food - which is what they were going for, I think? read more

I'm glad to see dining options on Butler's campus, but I'm curious how Chatham Tap stays in business. I had a happy hour with some coworkers on a nice fall Thursday evening and it was largely empty. I'm sure they draw a crowd for soccer games on Saturday mornings, as well as Butler basketball/football home games. Food, drink and service were fine but nothing overly memorable. read more

Food was good. The service was good. The inside felt very much like a place you would find in the UK. The fish and chips were good too. read more
