    Quarter table
    David D.

    Spent an afternoon at Dorman Street Saloon, which feels like a dive bar tucked into a converted old house in the best possible way. It has that lived-in charm that does not try too hard, and it works. They have a coin-operated pool table that only costs a quarter, which feels like a small miracle. We got there early in the evening and managed to play a few rounds before anyone else showed up. Eventually, a stranger joined us. He turned out to be a super friendly guy, a teacher, who rotated in and played a few games with us. One of those easy and low key interactions that makes a place feel like a neighborhood bar. Drinks were inexpensive, the atmosphere was exactly what you want from a dive bar, and the whole experience felt unpretentious and welcoming. Definitely a spot I would return to.

    I'm so delighted that a date with an alluring local brought me here. This is a dive bar person's dive bar...with the addition of drinks and taps that are WAY better than most dive bars! They have pool, they have a juke box, they have people sloppily making out, they have humble ambiance. So glad I got to come here, I will be back next time I'm in Indy!

    This place is super cute! There are pool tables and jukebox. There's a outdoor seating but I didn't get to see it but was told by a regular. They have a great variety of drinks but their food options are not great. The pizzas are like frozen Jacks pizzas. Bags of chips you would see in kids lunches, microwaved pretzels. They have a good spinach dip served with regular tortilla chips. The bartender was really nice and attentive. I'd put 3.5 but not able to. If food was better definitely would be 4 stars. The atmosphere is cozy and I loved the womens bathroom being in Dr. Who's blue phone booth

    My high noon and the Tardis which is actually the ladies bathroom. So cute!

    Super fun dive bar. Good atmosphere, friendly staff, and a great place to play cards and grab a drink. Had the spinach artichoke dip too - typical bar food but it hit the spot. Also, saw a local celebrity so it's obviously the spot to be! Can't wait to come back.

    When you walk up the sidewalk to the bright Yellow "homey" establishment, anything from the Beatles to Nina Simone might float out to greet you. Inside, there is a sense of finding a "Cheers" of your own (but way more cool). You can play both of these artists, and more of your choosing, on the classic jukebox (see my photos, awesome factor!) while playing pool for a quarter. Darts are in the back too, if your game. .....whuuut? Ok, I'll black up, just a quarter. I loved this simple thing. So my "feels" Can you say "cozy" about a bar and have it still be a cool place to want to go? Well, I am, and it's cool. Because Dorman's just is. It's whatever you need right when you need it, especially those times you didn't know you needed it...lol... but just showed up here only to realize that you needed it bad. Yes, Dorman's feels like your favorite pair jeans. And you don't even have to wear these jeans in, because right from the moment the coaster is tossed, you are a regular. "You are here". It's cozy and comfortable day or night... But not dull, and definitely the place to go for drinks. Food? Well, it does have a small page of food choices with items like Walking Taco, and Mexican Chili, but do not expect a full dining array. However, from what I saw and heard, aside from the many beer options, the folks behind the bar really know their cocktails and are always on the ready to shake things up for you to try. If you know what you think tastes good, they can create a concoction to please! If you still aren't sure, check out these Elite Yelpers Brittany S., Adam B., and Jeremiah C.. and their reviews. Be fun! Be smart. Be generous. Be kind.

    Fantastic neighborhood bar. Stumbled upon this and wow! I'm such a fan. It's tucked away in a neighborhood and if you are driving too fast you might miss it. It's not the most fancy or luxurious place, but, it's cool the bartenders are amazing and the vibe is great! They have decent liquor and a pool table and a jukebox. There's plenty of parking along the street that you don't have to pay for which is a bonus! Again, the servers and bartenders are amazing such a great attitude which sometime seems to be hard to find. There were people there that were working, people playing pool, and people who appeared to be on dates. Many people also rode their bikes and just stopped in for a quick drink. I love the come as you are vibe that it has. Everyone appears to be welcomed which I love! This will definitely be a place I add to the rotation when in the mood for something simple and not spent a ton of money for drinks.

    Five Star Dive Bar! If you live in Indy or say you are from Indy and don't know about this place, then I don't know about you! Perfect place for a shot and a beer. They have an eclectic bar, tables for gathering, and pool tables. Great staff!

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!

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
