Super casual and lowkey spot where music is playing and sports are on the tv. Plenty of seating whether it's at the bar or at a table. I honestly appreciate the prices too because in this day and age, getting a simple drink at some spots is starting to cost way too much. The service was great, spot was a little dead but it was early in the day and the Bartender was nice and attentive. Overall, would love to come here again with a friend group for a chill day drinking moment.

We stopped in for a nightcap a couple of weekends ago and it was packed and a group of girls were being incredibly loud, so it was very hard to hear inside.

You can't go wrong with a miller lite and a pour of maker's mark, but you also can't go wrong with their prosecco on draft.

There were not too many late night places open, but we were referred to the Whistle Stop by a neighboring restaurant. It is a small town bar vibe, with the music at a moderate volume at the front. There are also games, including arcade games like Pacman as well as board games to enjoy while waiting on the food. I got the brisket mac and cheese, which was topped with barbecue and white sauce. The meat was juicy and tender, while the mac and cheese was cheesy and flavorful. Service was also quick, and the waiter was very attentive to our table. Overall, The Whistle Stop is a great place to stop by in Indy.

It's not too big or doesn't have the scene of a club. It's a nice, chill place with various alcoholic slushies and jello shots that actually come in a shot! The food here is really good as they have a selection of various types of hot dogs. I went with their traditional dog with mustard and ketchup with some tater tots. The food was very delicious and the perfect little meal after a Fever game. I absolutely recommend coming here as the prices are rather inexpensive and it also doesn't have that big club feel like other places in downtown Indy do.

This is a cute bar, they even have beer pong available to play (it's the water version), very much worth a visit if you're in the area.

The tenderloin was fresh and Cooked PERFECTLY. Very large and so tasty. Fries were fresh and salad was actually very good. Great quality. Server was unbelievably nice. She was working the whole bar and still did great. They must have 1 million in racing memorabilia. Very nice and I had a soft drink due to work, but the prices of beer and bourbon were pretty cheap. Looks like a dive bar but the cook is really good and just fun to be in. Server made the day and she was so friendly. I will be back.

Very non-descript building from the outside but wow oh wow, is it decorated on the inside! Racing mementos everywhere! The menu had so many options, but the waiter Don steered us in the right direction. He made lots of menu suggestions plus was on top of things the whole time we were there. We shared an order of wings, a breaded, pork tenderloin, and a Smashburger. All of them were absolutely delicious. Looking forward to trying some more menu items.

While the space is small, the energy inside is huge. I recommend taking a group of people and splitting the whole chicken dinner. It fed 3 of us plus leftovers. Their fry platter is also top tier.

It's not often that I find myself on this side of town these days, however, I arrived at Duke's…read moreIndy to participate in a fundraising event. It gave me an opportunity to check out a venue I'd always wanted to check out. Duke's is a honky-tonk (think Waylon not Wallen), an intimate yet wonderfully decorated bar located in what was formerly known as Ice House Bar. Duke's has live music nearly every night - if it's not actually music, it's some other type of event. The venue is relatively small with about a max of 60 in the main room and a side space that could probably fit 20-25 more. The main room has mostly 4-top tables with a bar area available. The side space seems to be mostly high-top tables. Duke's has a lunch and dinner menu. While it may seem weird for a honky-tonk, Duke's actually has a rather extensive vegan menu. They are well known for their fried chicken, however, the menu actually has a variety of bar food ranging from burgers to tenderloin to appetizers to a bunch of other items. The vegan menu is also surprisingly extensive. Duke's has a full bar. I was pleased that they do have unsweetened iced tea. I ordered the chicken - which came with a chicken breast and a wing. It was nicely seasoned and quite delicious. In terms of accessibility (which was relevant since I'm a wheelchair user and one of the acts was using a motorized chair), Duke's has made some definite efforts toward accessibility (this is an older building with limits). There's a ramp offering accessibility in the back (and there is parking in the back). This is a very working class/industrial area, but everything felt safe to me and I had no issues. The ramp has a side rail you can hold on to if needed. I was able to use the ramp without much difficulty. The dining area is easily accessible other than the side area with high-tops (it's accessible, but the tables are higher). It looked like they had 3-4 bathrooms with all being single user. The first one I tried wasn't wheelchair friendly, however, the second one worked quite nicely and did have bars. Duke's had brought in a ramp - an impressive gesture. They stated it was something they'd been wanting to do and today offered the opportunity. It wasn't perfect, however, when you're disabled you get so used to lack of access that when someone genuinely tries you tend to give them the benefit of the doubt. I sure did. Employees were super friendly throughout the event and I got the opportunity to meet the owner for the event (which was comedy). Overall, this was an excellent experience. They have their concert schedule on their website along with their menu. This is a lovely little honky-tonk and I really enjoyed my time here. I almost stayed for tonight's concert (I actually knew her music), however, after being there all afternoon I was tired. That said, I'll no doubt return.

By 11:25, it was about halfway full, and by the time we left at 11:45, it was quite busy. The place has a retro vibe, and while the food was enjoyable, it didn't quite reach great. However, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere certainly added to the experience. Lol We spent over $36 on my hot ham sandwich upgraded to French fries, his double cheese smash burger upgrade, onion rings, a Coke, and an iced tea. While it was reasonably priced, I wouldn't categorize it as cheap. Overall, I think it's worth trying at least once, as it offers a unique dining experience, but I do not feel compelled to return. It was an enjoyable outing, but not one that I am eager to repeat.
