Later, our bartender told us the place would get busy in about an hour. As soon as we sat down at the bar, we were greeted by our bartender, Soso. She was delightful! So friendly and helpful with drink recommendations. And she was spot on! She suggested a cocktail not on the menu, a Tequila Sunrise with Peach Schnapps. Something I'd never had before. It was divine! My husband had the Paradox Paloma - also tasty. We asked for Tequila Old Fashioneds for round 2. Delicious! Our fried plantain appetizers took no time to come out. They were crisp and caramelized on the outside and tender and sweet on the inside. Our entrees came out quickly too. We shared the Buffalo Dry Rubbed Chicken Wings. They were bursting with flavor! So glad we wandered across Paradox Lounge. Can't wait to go back!

This was a birthday gift from my kids and, to be honest, I was apprehensive but now that I've done the class I'm a complete convert! It was fun, educational, and of course tasty! Hotel Tango is a local distillery, and this was our first visit. The building is unassuming, but once inside it was a beautiful space with plenty of seating, lots of drink options, and a cool 'vibe' even for those of us who don't frequent bars/distilleries/breweries. I could see myself hanging out there sipping on a bourbon and chatting up the bartenders or other patrons either inside on a comfy couch or out front on the patio. But that isn't why we were there. For my birthday, the kids got us tickets to attend 'Tango U' which is a somewhat frequent offering at HT. The class was made for 8 attendees, and included background information on the distillery, spirits in general, and in depth looks at two drinks. Our class did a traditional Old Fashioned Cocktail and a drink called 'Orange is the New Wack'. We learned about proper technique, why drinks are made the way they are, and more. Mark (our bartender and/or Mixologist) was fantastic. He told stories from the industry, was a great resource on spirits and drinks and such, and answered what seemed like hundreds of questions from all of us. He made the class enjoyable and educational. The Old Fashioned was our first, and upon completion we had time to enjoy our drink and chat with others in the class as well as Mark. It was a very 'spirit forward' drink (look at me with my fancy new terminology) so you could really taste the rye. Not my usual choice, but good nonetheless. I made it, so it had to be so. After the class enjoyed a break to sip and chat, we started on the second drink and learned additional techniques, more about liquor and made a 'sweeter' (my term) drink which was more my style. I admit, I could have had three more of them, and probably twice that if I was sitting on the beach somewhere sunny. When the class wrapped up, we were allowed to hang out and chat, ask any more questions, or head to the bar and order something else to try. It was a great experience, and I highly recommend it. I'm not a huge drinker, nor do I geek out over cocktails and craft beers, but it was fun, and I'd do it again for sure. 5 stars for the bar/distillery itself and 10 stars for the class!

While the menu looked great, I was able to order a custom old-fashioned with Buffalo Trace KY bourbon, black walnut bitters, demerara syrup, and Luxardo cherries, and it was perfect. The bartender was not only skilled but also fun to chat with, which made the experience even better. The aesthetic here is modern, chic, and clean, and the service matches the vibe - professional, welcoming, and attentive. This is definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to during my stay. Whether you're a guest at the hotel or just nearby, Rye Bar is absolutely worth a visit!

The bar is located on the lobby level of the Marriott Downtown Indianapolis and was very busy but the bartenders did a fantastic job at filling the orders. The Rye Bar is rated as a highly recommended bar to quench your thirst.
