    Red Bull Long Island is $17. A half order of Kilroy's Famous Stuffed Breadsticks consists of two breadsticks served with one cheese sauce and one marinara sauce $10.99. Unfortunately, multiple hairs were found in the cheese sauce. Attempts to get a staff member's attention were unsuccessful and unnecessarily difficult. I arrived with no expectations and left feeling disappointed.

    The Granddaddy bar for all IU fans. This downtown location is definitely the hot spot before Colts and Pacers games. If you've never been here, order the pepperoni breadsticks!!! Absolutely life changing. I love coming here just for those breadsticks. The cheese, pepperoni, butter, and roll are just so delicious together. Kilroys is also famous for serving mixed drinks in pitchers. I mean this is how Indiana people do it. There's probably 100+ Long Island variations to pick from. Great sports bar and right downtown for all the fun action.

    Found this online as a popular bar so we went to check it out. They have quite the long list of shots and long islands to choose from. They are all written on the wall. We tried their stuffed breadsticks and I was not prepared for how cheesy they would be. I love cheese and they were oozing cheese! The pepperoni inside was a good idea to break up how much cheese. If you are looking to catch a game with some food and drinks this is the spot for you!

    The order online take out was outstanding. The food was delicious, hot, and ready on time. Ordered here late after a Pacers game and Kilroy's did not disappoint. My favs are the boneless white meat chicken strips with honey mustard on side. The chicken is tender with a bit of a crunch. The pepperoni & cheese sticks are perfect size, baked fresh & hot and also good cold for breakfast. The hummus plate is also my go to. The veg is very fresh. The only disappointment was no carrots on the hummus plate. I had cucumbers & tomatoes. I don't eat the pita bread it comes with so missing carrots was kind of a big deal for me and my tummy. Their baked beans & green beans are great!! That Brownie dessert with crispy pecans was worth every single calorie & sugar gram. Hahahaha. It's THAT good. The vibe is also fun but I prefer take out as I am often overstimulated after the Pacers game & want to get back to my hotel quickly to relax & rewatch the game!! I love that Kilroy's is central to many of the downtown hotels. I needed a new place after a very disappointing Fogo de Chao take out experience and Kilroy's hit!!!

    After attending the Christian concerts of Winter Jam at Gainbridge Fieldhouse and on our way back to the parking garage, I discovered this restaurant. I wanted to avoid the sounding horn and traffic. Also, I wanted somewhere not available on my side of town but with TVs. Unexpectedly, we got carded inside at the door although I was not going to be drinking. We sat ourselves. I did not like the saggy cushion of the booth. The staff accommodated me by turning to expected channels for the Winter Olympics which did not air until when we were about to leave. No sound and no captions with the restaurant music. Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline played twice and you know what happens. Fun place. Closing is 2 a.m. Saturday. The woman's restroom sink faucets were unadjustable from the hot water. I ordered the $17.99 smoked then flash fried wings with 6 having dry rub and 6 having sweet Thai chili sauce. The dry rub was spicy. Different taste of the sweet Thai chili. I liked that they subbed celery for long, fresh carrots. I ate most of my appetizer and left with my takeout. Great service. For some reason, a police car was manning outside so I felt safe. I would consider going here again if parked in the area.

    We love Kilroys!! Their food and atmosphere is amazing whether you are there for a game, late night bites, or just downtown! Some of our favorites are the breadsticks, quesadillas, chicken tenders, and cheese curds.

    This was perfectly placed; right beside our hotel in Indy. Drove up to Indy for a Fever game and after the game wanted to grab a bite. Somewhere we could also watch the next wnba game coming on. This place is definitely popular. What you'd expect vibe wise from a sports like bar. Other reviews recommended the cheese sticks, but I have to say I wasn't too impressed with them. The cheese pull was ehhhh... major let down. The wings were pretty good, but definitely more than I could eat. Again, another Togo box needed. The ranch had a very different flavor, something I wasn't too fond of. Overall, I would come back here for the vibe.

    Craved the breadsticks I hadn't had in like 2 years so before my long overnight shift at GB, I had to grab some. Thankfully the bouncers at the door were teddy bears and let me just go order or I would have had to pay a cover but I appreciate them 100% for allowing me to run in and order. This place was poppin with the NCAA Tournament tonight so big thanks to the staff that took my order and were so awesome. Breadsticks were great as i remembered! Thank you again for your prompt service and an easy order and takeout process.

    Single Wedge Salad
    Linda L.

    Kilroys is consistently packed, but for good reason. The Long Island pitchers are a great way to start the night, the breadsticks are cheesy and just hit the spot. Surprisingly the strawberry fields salad was also delicious! It was fresh and flavorful. I wish the lunch special with salad and breadstick was a dinner option, I would def be ok with paying more for that option. The ambiance is a sports bar, it's loud, the seating is typically a free for all but the sign in front will indicate. But it's always a fun/good time.

    We were visiting from out of town and this place was recommended. Came in in a Thursday night during a Pacer's game. It was steadily busy and definitely filled up as the game let out. This place is what a sports bar SHOULD BE. Tons of TVs, tons of seating, and great service. It's a seat yourself place, our server was over in minutes. We ordered the stuffed breadsticks and a black n blue burger, food was hot and tasty. We had 2 shots and a Long Island pitcher from the drink menu. Drinks were a little pricey for what they were, and they were very sweet. But overall, great experience. Will definitely recommend and be back!

    Beef Brisket Sandwich
    Randy C.

    Food was fantastic...service started slow, but improved and the ambience was upscale pub...my only complaint was the sandwich lost the brisket on the first bite, and was sloppy AF...but that's not really a complaint, sloppy is gooood

    Bbq chicken salad. It's huge!
    Chris R.

    Great spot for lunch. The menu options are actually delicious and reasonably priced. But also this place is just well run from service to knowing what to put on the tv. We were in today and they had the press conference on from IU hiring a new coach.

    One of my favorite memories from The District Tap actually started with a shirt…read more We were sitting on the patio overlooking Georgia Street on a Fever game day when a couple walked by wearing one of the coolest Caitlin Clark shirts we'd ever seen. We complimented it, asked where they found it, and before we knew it, we were chatting with a wonderful couple who had traveled all the way from overseas just to watch Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever play that night. Moments like that are one of the reasons I love Indianapolis on game days. The patio was the perfect place to soak it all in. Fever fans filled the sidewalks, kids proudly carried homemade signs, and there was an excitement in the air that only comes from a city rallying behind its team. We could have people-watched for hours. Our waitress was exactly what every server should strive to be. Friendly, relaxed, and genuinely fun to talk to, she somehow mastered the art of appearing right before we found ourselves looking around for her. We never felt rushed, but we also never waited for anything. The food held up its end of the bargain too. The fried mozzarella disappeared embarrassingly fast and earned a solid 9.3 on my unofficial stretch meter. Crispy on the outside, perfectly gooey inside, with a marinara sauce that was every bit as good as the cheese itself. The chef salad was fresh, generously loaded with toppings, and easily big enough for a meal. I honestly couldn't tell you what beer I ordered... Because what I remember most is the experience. Sharing appetizers on a sunny patio, meeting fellow basketball fans from halfway around the world, and watching Indianapolis come alive before tipoff. It reminded me that sports have a funny way of turning complete strangers into friends. We'll absolutely be back the next time we're headed to Gainbridge.

Our server was friendly and responsive to one member of our group (male) but repeatedly didn't acknowledge another (female). This wasn't a one-time thing, it happened several times over the course of our visit, and it came across as dismissive. As for the drinks: beer prices were nice and cheap, but the margarita was on the expensive side and not really worth it. The place seems geared toward bigger dinner crowds, which may be why a two-person drinks-only table didn't get much attention, but being essentially ignored isn't a great look either way. We wouldn't return. 2/5.

Turns out the entire heated patio is first come, first served, and we were seated almost immediately. It was one of those windy Indiana afternoons where the cold finds every gap in your jacket. I fully expected to spend lunch shivering. Somehow, the heated patio felt warmer than the restaurant itself. Between the TVs, football on every screen, and the patio heaters, we had zero complaints. Now let's talk about the famous pepperoni-stuffed breadsticks. They're a must. And order your own nacho cheese. Seriously. Don't expect anyone to share. I could eat a shoe dipped in their cheese and probably enjoy every bite. The breadsticks always arrive piping hot, stuffed with gooey mozzarella, and if we're judging on a cheese-pull scale...I'm giving them a solid 7/10 on the stretch meter. As for our server, Zach...what a true gem. He's one of those people I'd honestly be surprised to hear anyone say they didn't like. Funny, quick with the jokes, and somehow kept up with the chaos without missing a beat. He also made sure my lemon drop martinis never had a chance to get lonely. Since I wasn't driving, he happily assisted me in...staying hydrated. The place was busy enough that we couldn't stand around chatting long, but he's the kind of person you'd genuinely enjoy running into again. We've been here twice now, and both visits have been consistently great. Whether you're stopping in to catch the game, escape the cold on the heated patio, or simply satisfy a craving for those ridiculously good breadsticks, Ale Emporium continues to be one of our favorite spots. Just don't skip the breadsticks...and trust me, order your own cheese. You'll understand after the first bite.

Delicious and fresh food, so much fun for the kids, and service was good but a little slow. Only downside is the location. Area is pretty worn down. Food: The pizza is delicious and fresh. Nice chew, a little bit crisp and the great smell of freshly dough. We got the sausage and pepperoni; sausage was better but both were good. The breadsticks were hot and delicious. A little soggy with butter but I mean.. it's butter. Is that bad? Dipping cheese was better than your standard stadium nacho cheese. Chopped salad was very fresh. Not the most interesting but still good. Hot Honey chicken wings were clearly freshly battered and fried. Incredible. Very similar to Korean Fried Chicken. Alcohol: Beer and wine option were good. Could use a couple more wine options. Beer and wine had a great range of styles and prices. Bar looked very well stocked for mixed drinks or drinking neat. Service: Staff was kind and helpful. They could have been slightly more available. The food did take a while longer than I would have expected for it not being that busy. But with how fresh it was, I'm sure it's because they were making it fresh. Ambiance: Tons of space. Ultra family friendly. Board games, yard games, ping pong, fire pits. Awesome! Train tracks across the parking lot were a fun side benefit. Kids loved watching the trains go by. Drinking out of plastic cups wasn't my favorite but I understand why. Location: Next to North Mass Boulder. Not a great part of town but felt safe once you're there. Final thoughts: If you're downtown and have kids, you gotta stop here especially if it's nice outside.

    Fowling (noun) fowl-ing: The hunting or trapping of wildfowl…read more Google "fowling definition" and this is what you'll find. Google simply "fowling" and you learn about this odd sport where you combine football and bowling. Just now. Right NOW as I'm writing this, the word fowling finally made (sort of) sense. Football + bowling = fowling. Now I'm even pronouncing the word different with a long "o" sound versus the "ou" diphthong. I had to Google that, too, but once I saw diphthong, I knew it was going in my review. You're welcome for the 5th grade grammar lesson. Please redeem your Pizza Hut personal pan pizza for your hard work. Ok, fowling. It has nothing to do with trapping birds or teaching birds of prey to land on your arm (that's falconry). Nope, it's a game you play with friends and beer. The setup is more like cornhole, but you use bowling pins and throw, that's right, a football. Someone was clearly drunk when this game was invented. But what a great way to bring a group of people together! The Fowling Warehouse specializes in the game of fowling, but has several other activities to enjoy as a group: pool, darts, a few arcade games and a golf simulator. I may go back just for the golf simulator. This is the real deal, a full Trackman set up. It was pretty sweet. Those simulators can be a little intimidating at the PGA Superstore, but it's tucked away in the corner at the Fowling Warehouse where you can shank balls and not feel like a fool. Mostly. There are also two bars and you can order pizza and boneless wings. The bar has a nice selection of beers on tap. They use the magnet cup system where the cup fills from the bottom. My favorite thing was seeing multiple signs on the bar that warn you that if you push the bottom of the cup, you will get wet! And I smiled devilishly thinking about curious people testing their luck with the cups and losing every time. For me, I enjoyed a couple glasses of this blood orange IPA. Delicious and refreshing. The Fowling Warehouse isn't exactly my jam, but I think it's the kind of place that is perfect for a certain crowd who enjoys games and likes a new challenge. And they can handle a large party! If you are looking to try a new sport that feels like it was invented by someone who lost a bet, this place is for you! I kid, but the Warehouse is nice and clean and large! The service was good and everyone seemed to have a great time. Seems like a pretty good spot for your next party if games are your thing! Please note: No birds were injured during the writing of this review.

    Recently visited Fowling Warehouse for a work team building event. I had no idea what to expect…read more Parking was a bit of a mystery. There was a sign in front of the business pointing you to turn down a steer for parking; next block there is a huge parking lot but no signs saying you can park there for fowling, BUT, it was abundantly marked that cars will be towed. Since there was nothing else around, I assumed it was the right place and parked. Of course I briskly walked to fowling to inquire if I was in the correct space. I was, whew. Those towers can really work fast. Fowling is in a warehouse with other businesses, hence the name. It is huge. We were on lane 32, I believe so there's at least 32 lanes. There is also a corn hole area. There is a bar where they have a decent variety of adult beverages. I went with 3 Floyd's warpig, a hazy ipa. It was really good. The important aspect of fowling is not eating or drinking there, but to interact with the people your with. Sure you can win a game, but the fun is the game itself and the camaraderie with a drink. Our leader looked up the rules prior and explained them. You take turns throwing a football at bowling pins, one set of pins on each end of the lane. There are two lines to throw from, our group guys threw from back and women from front. I watched a group next to us, both men and women threw from front line, it didn't appear to give anyone an advantage. I don't know if the pizza place is part of fowling or a separate business, but we got pizza from Bonk Pizza. It was ok, it was enough to say we were fed. I'm glad I did this and would go again.
