We went to Shelby Street Tavern for a comedy show and really enjoyed the experience. The staff were…read morekind, attentive, and friendly, and the atmosphere was upbeat and relaxed. Everyone we encountered was awesome. The drinks were excellent. We didn't eat, but the food looked so good that we both wished we'd eaten here instead of Livery earlier. The comedy itself was a bit hit or miss, but we're in Indy for a while as healthcare travelers and will definitely be back--for the drinks and the great people.

A little pricey, kept me from drinking too many--which was a good thing. Ordered the smoked old fashioned. Always a great presentation although the smoke caught my throat off guard, and nearly hacked up a lung. Service was great! Never had to want for anything, someone always visited the table. We ordered the jalapeno mac and cheese bites--those were my favorite! And since I'm a truffle fan--I ordered the ham and truffle sliders. But this was the only thing I didn't enjoy. A toasted ham sandwich with garlic aoli, and a very sweet jam. The flavors did not go together at all! But despite that, we had a wonderful time with our friends and I would definitely recommend going!

If you don't feel like drinking, they have mocktails as well, and a wide variety of snacks and appetizers.

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 such an exciting find! You can book a reservation for axe throwing and the price was fair,…read moreit was approximately $30 per hour per person. The brewery side had such a unique combination of sours. I had never tasted the sour, they were more than happy to let you try everything! So many of them were great but it was hard to make a decision. They have pizza and breadsticks, it's a pretty basic menu but the pizza and the breadsticks were both high-quality not cheap bar food. When you were all done with the acts throwing they have a huge paved area outside with tables and umbrellas. You can sit out there through the afternoon and evening underneath beautiful Edison lights and keep going in and getting beer. It's a very quaint neighborhood, there was adequate parking on the streets around. It was exciting, it could be romantic for a date night, or casual with friends, it was just all around an awesome location. The lanes and the tables were not right on top of each other so you definitely felt like you had adequate space. The restrooms were clean, the staff was helpful and they were actually really fun. They give you instruction and pointers as little or as much as you want for the acts throwing. The bar staff was awesome about making recommendations and letting you have plenty of tastings. All the way around it was just a whimsical experience of flavors, activities and you lose track of time.

The daily food and drink specials made choosing lunch even harder (in the best way). We ordered the breaded tenderloin and the Hot Italian sandwich, and both were excellent. Now...let's talk about that Indiana tenderloin. It hangs so far off the bun that the bread is basically just there for moral support. Crispy, juicy, perfectly seasoned, and exactly what you hope for when ordering a Hoosier classic. The Hot Italian didn't disappoint either--loaded with flavor and paired with fries that were crispy, well-seasoned, and dangerously addictive. Fries Worth Fighting Over? Inside you'll find wall-to-wall TVs, a stage for live music, and regular events like poker and trivia nights, making it just as much of a destination as it is a neighborhood sports bar. Whether you're stopping in to catch a game, grab lunch, or meet friends for a cold beer, Whiskey Business nails that relaxed local-bar atmosphere. Good food, generous portions, friendly people, and plenty of reasons to come back.

Our waitress came by and we ordered a beer and an iced tea. I ordered an unsweetened iced tea which I did not drink, it was not plain unsweetened tea. Seemed like it had a lot of artificial lemon in it, not sure, but I know I did not like it. The hubby had a Corona and our friend had a pitcher of beer. We perused the menus and it did take a good while for the waitress to come back and take the order. The hubby ordered a hamburger and fries and our friend had the buffalo chicken wrap and I ordered the twice baked tater skins. The husband said his fries were cold and the burger looked like a frozen patty as it was perfectly formed and it was just ok. I may have ordered the wrong dish myself as I did not care for the potato cheese mixture that was inside so I ended up stripping all the insides out and just ate the skins themselves. Husband had to flag down the waitress to get the bill and keep in mind that they were not busy. It is a typical bar atmosphere in here with TVs all around the perimeter. We were sitting at a high-top table but they had both low and high.
