During all the time I was clearing out my late father's home in Putnam County, I really wanted to…read morecheck out Central Normal Tap in Danville. The timing just never worked. However, on a recent trip back to visit my parents' grave, I finally got the chance to stop in and check it out for a bit. Central Normal Tap is basically a laid-back, charming pub and grill with solid dining options, craft beer, spirits, and a terrifically friendly vibe. I'm not sure if terrifically is really a word, but I'm sticking with it. Located on the east side of the Danville Town Square, this is a great place to hit if you're doing some visiting of the town square (and you should). It's not an all-day joint. It's really from evening into the night hours. The town square offers free parking (with accessible option). While there are stores on the square that are not accessible, Central Normal Tap is pretty darn good (some of the tables are a bit high and there are a handful of booths that have a step up). Dining options include pretzels, wings, flatbreads, and more. I didn't spend a whole lot of time here, but I enjoyed the time I spent. The vibe was a nice tapestry of smaller town charm with a modern energy. The food was tasty, and the service was absolutely top-notch. I would easily return, though I might avoid when it's super busy as I could imagine accessibility being a bit more challenging just due to the layout. For those who wonder (I love origin stories), the name comes from Central Normal College, a former college that moved from Ladoga, Indiana to Danville, Indiana in the 19th century and lasted until just after World War II. It's a part of Danville/Hendricks County history (you can learn more about it at the Hendricks County Museum).

This is a very nice hole in the wall bar. It is relatively small and has a small dining area and…read morebar seating available. There is also a small patio area out back. You can enter the bar from the front or back of the building. They have a decent sized private parking lot. You will find a juke box and ATM in there too. They have a few gambling games, and scratch offs going on. Nothing big though. Just something to entertain and pass the time. The staff there is very friendly. They told me that the weekends would be better to get some of the barbecue menu items and that they are looking at carrying those items through the week soon. They have an abbreviated menu of bar food including, burgers, tenderloins, ribs, wings, salads and pizzas. I got a jalapeño smoked sausage hoagie with fries and a side of Caribbean jerk wings. I wanted some of their baked beans, but they did not have any. Sunday's are the best day to get them I was told. The sausage hoagie was delicious. However, get it while you can. They plan on replacing it with an andouille sausage very soon. They fries were hot and perfectly seasoned. The wings were as good as the hoagie. I highly recommend them. They had a little kick, just like I like it and was packed with flavor. This is a full service bar with daily food special and reasonably priced, but stiff drinks. This is a nice local business that has a legion of loyal regulars. Many of the people that was there while I was, knew everyone by first name. If you are looking for a bar to spend some time and get some decent food, while receiving first class service, look no further. I highly recommend this place. I really enjoyed my meal here and look forward to coming back real soon.

The pizza is kind of small though. It will fill two people or one person if you have portion control issues. They serve Narrow Gauge draft beer out of the St. Louis area and it is dynamite....a little pricey though. They had a barrel aged stout called Duality on draft and it was GREAT - one of the best beers that I've ever had and I don't usually like stouts. You can order cans or bottles of some of the beer to go. The bartender did an A+ job and she was delightful. I could have talked to her all day. There were five other people at the bar and all of these strangers just started talking to each other and becoming friends. It was pretty cool.

This afternoon I adventured over to The Abandoned Station and was pleasantly surprised by their…read morebeer selection. They have Narrow Gauge Brewery on tap, who apparently doesn't know how to make anything but good beer. I was in the mood for a dark brew and decided to try a few of their imperial stouts, all of which were delectable. First I had the Kofe and it was an aged coffee beer with a robust flavor at 12.5% ABV. Then I tried their guest tap called Hoplore and it would've pair well with a donut. Personally it was a little too sweet to think about having a full pint of but at 12.8% ABV it definitely had a wow factor to it. Finally I settled on the King Copra. This beer hit all the levels for me! I love anything with coconut, having it be 10.5% ABV was the icing on the cake. I can't wait to see what other wonderfully unique beers they have next time I visit.

It was a short visit, but Axle's Garage Tap was a highlight. We were in town staying at Bottleworks. We walked by once or twice in the evening and the entire place was hopping! I imagine this place does an amazing business. We went during the day and it was pretty subdued. If you happen to be staying at Bottleworks and are in the mood for a brew, walk across the way, order a brew and chill. It's a nice way to pass some time.
