Breanna H.

Alright well this might not be everyone's cup of tea but I freaking loved this place! This is your typical hole in the wall place and the decor definitely spells it out. Floor to ceiling is just covered in random stuff and it just makes this place so unique and fun. The service was great as far as we could tell, though tricky to hear, he approached us right away when we sat down at the bar and got our drinks to us quickly. It was a Monday night so I'm sure during a weekend this place would have been filled to the brim and maybe service wouldn't have been so quick. I love live music. And I appreciate musicians talents. My brother did not care for the endless jazz music but I really loved it! I would 100000% come back here if I visit Indy again. Cheers to chatterbox!

nothing like actual jazz club. Service is also quirky. The ambience really is not that great either. Didn't have a good time.

Is this a swingers bar?

I've never heard of it referred to in that way, nor has my significant other (who has bowled with the Chatterbox league). Just a fun place for a drink & live music!

Easily one of my favorite bars in the city!! Always a good time and the food is amazing! Service is…read morea little scarce sometimes but it's usually packed so I can understand the waiters running around a bit. The vibe is always casual, don't expect anything too fancy, I always think of it as more of a dive bar but that's what I love about it. Last time I was there was for the IU football championship game and the place was packed, but the service definitely did not lack. Luckily, we were close enough to the bar so that anytime we needed something we were able to just step over and talk to any of the bartenders. We order a pizza and wings as well and as always, they were absolutely delicious. This is one of my go-to spots whenever I want to watch a sports game or I want to have just a super casual night out!

We love the Doug out my son and I went there for a quick lunch with the dog. Oh yes, their dog…read morefriendly I had quite possibly one of the best cheesesteaks I've ever had it even had dipping sauce. This place is very diverse. It has a huge outdoor patio that is ultra nice with bands of an evening. It has a fairly modern day inside bar and then there's the old-school bar that's attached. The bartenders are some of the friendliness in fountain Square and oh by the way they're pretty sassy they like the kid around with you, anyway great food great price great atmosphere bring your dog you won't regret it.

We came on a Saturday night and was seated immediately. Service was super quick and friendly…read more Inside had plenty of seating with condiments on the table. It's got a western ish feel to it with plenty of TVs with games showing. I ordered the All American Steak burger with all toppings available and pepper jack cheese. It did not disappoint. For $11 for everything you see here???? That's an amazing deal. The pepper jack was also had some good kick to it which I especially liked. This is a repeat for sure. Edited to say the Bloody Mary comes with a whole stalk of celery, a skewer of olives/cheese/pepperoni, and tater tots. It's massive and truly like a meal all by itself.

Okay, I was really bummed today to hear that Tick Tock let one of their best employees, Icis, go…read morerecently. What's even worse is because it's allegedly over a customer review. I'm a single guy who doesn't cook much, so I end up going out for almost all of my meals. The amount of money I spend dining out in a year could easily pay for a years worth of college. Well, at a state school anyway. I've been coming to Tick Tock off and on for the last 12 years. It's an awesome atmosphere with great food and delicious Bloody Marys. In fact, every single person who I talk to about Bloody Marys gets to wait for me to pull up Yelp on my phone to show them a photo of their world famous beverages. Seriously, they're amazing The frequency in which I dine at Tick Tock has increased 10x now that some great friends who recently moved here from Florida have found it. We're here a lot. A LOT. The burgers are delicious and I'm also a big fan of their old fashioneds. They also have waffle fries on the menu, and even though it's an upcharge, it's a no brainer for me. My group of five stopped in this evening for dinner. The table ended up with a huge bowl of beef chili with a mouth watering grilled cheese, a Philly cheesesteak, a pulled pork sandwich and two 10" pizzas. Everything was damn good, but
