This is a neat place to meet up with some friends for a cocktail. There's plenty of comfortable seating and tables so you could spend hours here just enjoying the chill atmosphere. And they have a fairly large selection of housemade liquors to try straight or in a mixed drink. read more

Such a fun spot for drinks! Came here with a friend to enjoy a quick drink after dinner and was pleasantly surprised. The minute you walk in you can't but help take in the cozy but rustic interior of the place. I also appreciate that there is plenty of seating inside as well. My friend and I found a seat the bar and started to look over the menu. The bartender was super sweet and she explained all her favorite drinks from the menu. Fun fact, this place has its own mascot - a cat that might roam up to you while you are visiting! Overall, excellent drinks, service, and ambiance! Will be back for sure. read more

In all my travels across the country over the years, choosing a great bar is usually a part of the itinerary. During a recent visit to Indianapolis, Hotel Tango shined brightly as one of the best bars in the country. The beautiful brown brick exterior of the building is matched by the sophisticated yet simple interior of the bar room. While conversing with the cool, friendly bartender, I inquired about whether she makes Kurt Vonnegut-inspired cocktails since Indianapolis was his hometown. We both laughed when she mentioned working at a Vonnegut-centric bar in the past. Loved the cocktail the bartender recommended to me, which was made with aquafaba, had citrus notes and was served with a beautiful flower. read more

This is the place to go when you're trying to have a chill night with friends, a night out with the gals, or a casual place to drink with your family. Very artisan and lounging vibes. Their drinks are stellar and some are seasonal. They have recently also come out with a food menu. From the food, I loved and recommend: pretzels, nachos, charcuterie board, and butter cookie. Go try it out!! read more

I love this place!!! You walk in and feel like you walked into your uncles cabin in the woods. Wood interior, a canoe hanging from the ceiling, unique furniture and couches and vintage decor and tables. They make their own hotel tango hard liquor and the bottles they come in are so cute. Love to try local finds and this never disappoints. Their cocktails are so fun and colorful. My group each got a different kind and it was like a rainbow. I got the thirty flirty and thriving which was purple and delicious. Go here for a double date or casual cocktails. They have a bbq food truck some nights also :) read more

Did someone say "dog friendly"? That's this place! They are also veteran owned and operated distillery. I've been going here for the past few years and have never had a bad experience. The servers/bartenders and friendly and efficient. They recently opened the building next door as an event space -which doubles as their kitchen. Grab pizza on a weeknight, or brunch on Saturday/Sunday. Drink specials are offered every day of the week, and there are constantly rotating seasonal cocktails available. Standard prices are $9-13/drink. There is a good mix of cozy seating and large tables perfect for group gatherings. And if you're worried about street parking, they have a lot behind their building. read more

Hotel Tango is a staple on Virginia Ave! I absolutely love this bar - cool vibe (with plenty of space for you to bring a group of friends), delicious and inventive drinks (they have a rotating seasonal menus), and quick service. We ordered a Dorian Gay (gin cocktail with Earl Grey flavors - yum!), a whiskey sour (or two or three...), and the charcuterie board (it was huge). read more

I didn't try the food, yet. I did, however, have the best cocktail in Indy. The "I'll have what she's having" is top. The Shmallow + Limoncello should not work, but it does wonders. The toasted marshmallows and graham cracker rim really brings it together. The main building is super cozy inside. WE sat by the fire and it was really nice. Off to the side we noticed the house cat taking a nap. So soft!!!! The prices are around $9-13 if I can recall. More than I want to spend, but that's pretty normal, I think. The entire staff is super chill and helpful. The parking lot is free, which, is really nice. The one-lane road to the back lot is playing chicken with others at times, but fine. There is diverse seating for singles, couples, to groups. read more

The seasonal cocktail menu is perfection. We sat inside by the fireplace and it was such a vibe. I love their outside area and can see myself spending summer evenings here. Can't wait to try their food next visit! Try the "I'll have what she's having" for a delicious key lime pie inspired drink. The toasted marshmallows on top were a nice touch. read more

Hotel Tango - I'll have what's she's having & SWEET HOME OL' BANANA - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

My friend and I came out in the cold as we were super excited to experience, Hotel tango... And unfortunately, the service was not the best! When we walked in, there were seats to sit down anywhere, but no one greeted us, and we were confused as to if we could sit anywhere, or if we had to wait to be seated... Finally asked someone and they said yes, you can sit anywhere! No problem... Sat down... Waited about 20 minutes to be served and I walked up to the bar and asked if someone was coming and the bartender eventually came and helped... One of the first things that came out, her mouth was, we could only do one round... That's no problem lol. Granted, it was around 845, 9 o'clock, but we simply wanted to come out for one drink and experience the Christmas vibes but we could have stayed at home sadly And saved our money... Hopefully I will be able to update this review one day, but I was not thrilled with the service the Christmas drinks were good though! read more

Creative drink menu made with their own craft spirits! I love visiting hotel tango for the atmosphere and to visit Freddy Purcury

I came on a Tuesday night, and the atmosphere is lovely. Staff definitely enjoys their time working together and all have smiles on their faces. Tuesday was trivia night from 7-9pm and it was super fun (but hard haha)! I wasn't obsessed with my drink and it was like $12 tho. Food from other customers passed by my friend and I and we thought it looked really good and you got a lot! read more

A staple hangout stop in Fletcher area! There's plenty of seating, tables, and couches to lounge at. We went during their Salute to Santa popup bar (no ticket needed) which was decked out with holiday cheer and a cozy fireplace. They have limited festive cocktails and a handful of mocktails on their regular menu as well. I got the Kim, people are dying and it was delish! They have a small front and back lot with additional street parking near back lot. read more

Such a fun and chill atmosphere. I recently went and they were completely decked out in holiday decor. It was wonderful! They have lots of tables as well as couches if you are more in the mood to lounge. There is a huge, beautiful fireplace that you can also sit around. The first time I went our waitress was so knowledgeable. They allow dogs inside which is a huge plus and the whole reason why we went! I ordered the Oat Fashioned my first time there and most recently went with the Old Fashioned. They were both great, but I would definitely say the Oat Fashioned is more unique and thus I did enjoy it more. I went on a Wednesday and surprise to me, they have "Whisky Wednesday" deals. My Old Fashioned was only $7! They also have fun, rotating seasonal drinks. We ordered the brisket nachos for a snack. They were just alright and would not order them again. Will definitely be back again! read more

Eclectic, entertaining, and an excellent elixir experience! Travis is a convivial host, and Kati is a wizard behind the bar. We were amazed at what she could do to make bourbon sing. We did the bourbon trail in Kentucky. My advice: skip it and plant yourself at Hotel Tango for truly magical and memorable time. read more

I've been wanting to go here for quite a while. I've heard about the cozy fireplace and the awesome drinks, and needed to experience it for myself. When I first walked in, I felt like I was in a cabin. It felt like I had finished skiing and was taking a break, lol. Maybe my subconscious picked up lots of wooden walls? I can't remember! Anyway, it was super late when I got in, maybe an hour to close. The vibe was so chill. Dates there having good conversation, friends hanging out...music was great! I don't know much detail about the drinks because I'm not really a big drinker, but the cocktail I had was good. I'll definitely be back. read more

Come, relax, hang out, enjoy a drink. Hotel Tango has comfy couches and a cozy central fireplace to help you chill out and relax. Their cocktails and spirits are always fresh new flavors that rotate often. This is a perfect spot to sit at a table with a small group of friends and sit back with table service bringing excellent cocktails to relive the evening or catch up. Easy parking in front and out back, but also very walkable to a ton of restaurants in Fletcher Place and Fountain Square. read more

The drinks here never disappoint. Whether you're looking for spicy, sweet or refreshing or bourbon, gin, or rum they've got you covered with unique flavor combinations and infusions. The atmosphere is a 10/10. Stop by for trivia night on Tuesdays at 7pm! read more

I live in the neighborhood and am constantly stopping by for happy hours or to catch up with friends. Hotel Tango has some of the best cocktails I've ever had. All of the liquor is made in house and the menu is constantly rotating so you'll never get bored! I've had almost every drink on the menu at this point (including the rotating selections) and have yet to have something I didn't enjoy. They also have an amazing selection of mocktails if you aren't in the mood for alcohol (these are always very creative and delicious). The food is great and they are one of the only places in Indy that allow dogs indoors! 1000/10 read more

This joint is located in Fletcher place in Indy, beleive it's owned by some vets which I personally love. The spirits are well made, my personal go to is the gin, and any cocktail they make with the gin! It's all craft cocktails all the time so you can't go wrong, very creative and flavorful! The bartenders are also talented so i love to watch them make different drinks. It's fun in the winter because they have a fire going in the big stone fire place, but in that rare stretch of time that we get nice weather here in Indy, they open up the doors and you can enjoy the patio as well! Hotel tango whiskey also has different events that they host, detox to retox which is a yoga event, candle making trivia, and different food/drink pairing events. Take the time to visit this place it doesn't disappoint! Congrats on five years! Just was in the mood for a cocktail on Sunday and had no idea they were celebrating five years of business! They have also just released everything rebranded and it really brings out the military feel that's true to the name. With the five year party there were a few five dollar drink specials, they also had Gomez walking tacos and gallery pastry shop macaroons! Happy accident that I came in this past Sunday but I'm not mad I did! read more

Love this little spot. I came here on afternoon after a rowdy night and I wasn't feeling particularly well. I told the bartender about my situation and she made me a wonderful drink that went down easy but had a strong punch to it. By the end of that drink I was back to 100% and feeling great! This place is so unique and there are a lot of fun areas to sit even a nice outside when the weather is good. Drinks are all great and the bartenders are amazing. You can't go wrong coming here! read more

We had pre-dinner drinks here and I am so glad that we did! We each got a cocktail and they were all amazing! It was one of those times when we were all arguing about who ordered the best item. I just love the presentation of the drinks and the atmosphere of the distillery as a whole. It was quite busy while we were there, but it still felt very intimate and we received excellent service. Our server, Ashley, was fabulous -- she was very personable and efficient. And when we said that we were there to celebrate a birthday, she brought out complimentary shots for us! It was so kind of her to go the extra mile to make the birthday girl feel special. read more

I've been meaning to check the place out! It's super cute inside and there was a lot of seating options. There are couches, high top tables, the bar, and regular tables to sit at. The interior was also nicely decorated with lots of natural light. I was honestly overwhelmed by the drink menu and asked the waiter what he recommended. He recommended the Lisa the Agitator, which was gin, saffron, smoked raspberry, and lemon. I really enjoyed my drink! It was pink and came with a pretty flower in it. Our waiter was attentive and not too hovering. I would definitely come back to try some of the other cocktails. read more

straight away -- oh my god this place would suck in the winter. it'd be so freakin' cold. there's no insulation. anywho ... group of six stopped here on friday around 7 and we each got a couple drinks. from what i could tell, everyone enjoyed what they got. i got a laugh out loud and an oat fashioned. the laugh out loud was tasty, but i wish i tasted more of the earl grey in the gin.. i'm a total manwhore for earl grey. the oat fashioned i was kind of ... warned? ... by a waitress that it was on the sweeter side, and that was actually appreciated, because it definitely was. i mean, it makes sense. whiskey? sweet. dark brown sugar? oh yeh. black walnut? you betcha. that said, still good, but a little much. overall this place is an awesome spot to stop when you want a really well-made cocktail, and i'd make time to stop by again next time i'm in indianapolis -- and to see resident cat freddie purrcury. read more

Kati is a pleasure to work with and made some wonderful recommendations for drinks last Saturday night at the distillery. The Old Fashioned I had was fantastic. I tracked down a bottle of Ready to Drink bourbon here in south Florida and I am looking forward to cracking it open. The service was excellent and the food was quite good. The staff was super pleasant, the polar opposite of south Florida. I'm looking forward to ordering a few bottles in the future on-line. read more

This place is ALWAYS great to come to after a long day, good day, first date or in a solo mission. The seasonal cocktails literally will have you wanting to come in monthly because every menu there's at least 3-4 cocktails that are a must have. Ducked off in Fountain Square right off the highway you can enjoy an ambiance that's good for a pregame or night cap. Pro: variety in cocktails, funny cocktail names, house made gin Con:nothing read more

I absolutely love the vibe that hotel tango has to offer. It feels like a whole new world stepping into the front doors of tango. Think rustic lodge mixed with the most amazing cocktails and company you could ask for. The space is large enough for a big group gathering or intimidate enough for a date night. The smell of freshly popped popcorn only adds to your experience. The staff is very friendly and willing to walk you through the menu. There is a drink for whatever mood you are in! Also be sure to stock up on your hotel tango favorites while you're there (I'm looking at you- orangecello) I love that Hotel Tango is a local and small business and also supports other small businesses at the same time! The bar offers snacks for local businesses which pair perfectly with their cocktails. It's a win, win! read more

Stopped in today to try their Bravo Bourbon on the rocks. One of us got another cocktail that upon all of us tasting it we sent back. No tradesies-it was not good. Midnight Revival. No. Just. No. The prices at 10&12 bucks are average around this area I guess. The bourbon was pretty good. It was better here than at 1205 distillery up the street. The place was cool. Big bar. Lots of seating. Central fireplace. Some couches to sit by the fireplace in fall/winter. They have bottles for sale for carry out/ tshirts/some mustards/ hats. read more

I had the opportunity to visit Salute to Santa at the Foxhole at Hotel Tango. If Santa lived in Indiana this would be his house. I just absolutely love the decorations, the candy cane walkway, the fireplace, the trees, lights, all so beautiful. If you are feeling Bah humbug, you won't be after leaving the Foxhole as it is sure to get you in the Christmas spirit. The drinks are fire. They have hot chocolate mixed with their house bourbon, a holiday old fashioned and other holiday inspired drinks. They also have also have snacks, empanadas and Reindeer tracks. All of which goes to benefit the Marine Corps Toys for Tots program. read more

First time here. Mom and I stopped by here while shopping in Fountain Square. We were greeted when we walked in. We chose to sit at the bar and we are happy we did. All the folks behind the bar were extremely nice and willing to have a conversation. We ordered a bag of Broad Ripple Chip Co Sweet & Spicy chips along with our drinks. They may have went a little overboard on the spicy! My drink was the Turboman. It was Bourbon, Rum, Amer Picon, turninado & chai. A large square ice cube was in my glass to get maximum chilling without the dilution along with a blood orange slice. Will definitely get this one again! Mom had the Kingston Falls which had Vodka, coconut milk, kiwi, banana, and lime and she said she really liked it. The interior was cozy and looked like you could really spend the time in this place with friends. We will stop here again next time we are in the downtown area. read more

This bourbon enthusiast gives Hotel Tango an enthusiastic five stars. While I'll admit that their basic bourbon isn't the best I've tried, and is a bit overpriced, my rating isn't based on the liquor alone. The service is so friendly and personable, and the vibe of the place is exactly what I was looking for. Besides being a bourbon aficionado, I'm also a proud vet, and I love that Hotel Tango is veteran owned and that their products promote a military theme. We had such a great time last night that we're going back tonight! read more
