    Overall, we had a fun time hanging out with our friends after the Pacers game earlier this week, but were unimpressed with the bartender and I wouldn't come back. He was rude to us when asked to replace a beer (he gave one of our party a lager instead of an IPA and there is a very big difference between those two beer styles) instead of just apologizing, pouring the correct beer, and moving on with the next customer. Right after this he gave us the wrong flavor of a High Noon that we ordered and we didn't even bother going up to have that changed out because he had made the previous interaction so tense and uncomfortable.

    Looking for a casual pizza place downtown we found SSC. I got a big smile on my face when we walked in and saw this iconic dive bar! Every inch of the ceiliing and walls are covered with license plates, sports memorabilia and street signs, and every table was full because it was bingo night A handful of craft beers on draft and in cans. But the winner was the pizza. Loaded with toppings all the way to the edge, it reminded me of local pizza parlors when I was a kid. One woman makes all the pizzas in her small "open" kitchen. One counter to make it, and one pizza oven (that looks like an easy bake oven) to cook it. Kudos to her! We will be back, maybe for karaoke or trivia night!

    Seems to be an unpopular opinion based on the total rating but a 3 seems appropriate for our visit! Bar service for food and for drinks. The pizza had a great amount of cheese and sauce but the crust was a bit burnt and overall underseasoned. We'd skip the breadsticks and cheese sauce next time. Great for drinks, good for young groups-heads up it's loud in there, a solid dive through and through.

    Ordered a pizza for pick up, and was ready in good time! The pizza was hot and fresh and decent for dive bar pizza. The atmosphere is at Sam's is always amazing as well. Sam's is a go to for me in Indy.

    Thee best zaaa

    Huge shoutout to the very lovely lady who made theeeeee best pizza I have ever had in my life. She quite literally must have put tears of an angel into this zaaa. The vibes and drinks were good too!

    Great people, service and vibe. I stopped by when I was in the area after hearing about Sam's Silver Circle for years. I was alone and stopped by after work. By the time I left I felt like I had been going there for a decade. I met super nice regulars, the bartender was very kind and friendly, and the beer was cold. A great bar!

    We left Lafayette early so we could grab lunch at Sam's on our way downtown. We got there just after 11am on a Saturday and were the second people there. The bar was clean and the bartender and staff were friendly. I do not believe they had the back patio the last time we were here. It looked like a cool place to hang out and according to some in-bar advertising, you can rent the patio and get a keg and pizza for a group up to 75 people. Our draft beer was cold, which is always nice. If there was a way to give 3.5 stars, unfortunately I would. We came for the pizza and something has changed. We looked at pics that we had of pizza that we had eaten before and it was different. The cheese seemed, for lack of a better word, different. It seemed more like a premade pizza than I remember. I would get up early to make sure we came here for a few years ago pizza, but not for what we had yesterday. We enjoyed our time at Sam's as we always have. I wanted to enjoy the pizza more than I did.

    4.5 stars given for the pizza. The pizza there is delicious. The pizza was prepared with layers of cheese then your choice of toppings then cheese again. We had pepperoni, sausage and bacon. Crust was crusty and sauce was robust and savory. One of the best pizza I had.

    Classic dive bar! Definitely one of the best in Indy. Service is great and everyone who works there is very kind. Food is your standard bar food with the exception of breakfast on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Definitely will be back for some bingo! (Every other Tuesday)

    Had the best time at this bar sorry we found it last minute. Could've spent all day there! Jazmyn was amazing! She was so fun and poured fun drinks for us! Can't wait to come back next year. Thanks Jazmyn wish people were nicer to each other because you were great!

    A good historical bar near the Fountain Square neighborhood. Although modest in size, the interior is brimming with character. The walls are covered with various decor, including many antique signs. I recall reading an old news article that was framed next to my table which gave some interesting info of the original owners. I don't know if it's the best in town, but the pizza here is very good. Breakfast apparently is served on weekends as well, which is interesting & unusual for a pub. A good basic bar for a hang out, and for an inexpensive meal.

Keagan Fife (Manager) - A team player, receptive to feedback and conscientious. We had a issue while there and he was able to step in and problem solve with me and come up with a solution that really won us over. We had a moment where it was feeling a bit "why did we come here" but his customer service exceeded expectation. That's good management. (He's the gentleman in the video below.) Let's get the negative out the way 1st. The first waitress asked if we wanted anything to drink. I told her we hadn't received menus. She came back sat them down and walked away. We never saw her again. A new waitress came and she seemed pleasant enough. Once we were all seated she began to take our orders. She made a point to say she needed to write it all down or she was get it mixed up. She then did not write anything down. Our food came out extremely slow but that wasn't a huge deal because we all were mingling. A lot of her team had to step in and deliver our food, give drinks, check on us etc. She was pretty non existent. Two of the ladies never received food. This was after we had been there for 2 hours and everyone else had received their items. At the end when we asked for our check they were all mixed up and confused. The waitress then blamed us for adding things and moving around. We never moved once and she only came around the one time when she originally took our orders. We never got a chance to add things. (it was quite comical that she tried to say that) I ended up asking for manager because she seemed overwhelmed and a bit bias about our group. Assuming that we wouldn't want one check and splitting them because she figured we would want it that way and then blaming us because she did it when we never asked for split. There rule is parties over 8 have to have 1 bill and we never asked for an exception. There was just her assumption that a group of black women wouldn't want to do that. (I digress) There were a few more things but I will end it there. That was the big negative. Now the positive!!! Ambiance 10/10 - great views, great music, great location, umbrellas on roof were great although a but wobbly and scary. Also, they come around with complimentary sunglasses while dining. I thought this was a nice and luxurious touch! Food 8/10 - most food received was delicious Service 9/10 - everyone except for our server was great! Everyone who pitched in to help was awesome! Ended up tipping a different server who basically helped us the whole time. Bless his heart because I know he was super busy. As stated above management handle the situation well. I would definitely go back! I try to give people a chance. I think our server may have been overwhelmed and had a past experience that left her bias against our group but hopefully she can grow and get better. Her actions don't reflect the restaurant as a whole! Go and enjoy the vibes and views!

Tonight my husband and I walked down to Strangebird for dinner, ordered drinks and dinner, and I had *just* said to my husband that Strangebird has come to feel like a second home. Then the server came out and told us that the chef has decided they will no longer permit any modifications, including those that meet dietary needs. We were out on the quiet patio surrounded by other customers, so on top of being totally blindsided, it was actually pretty embarrassing, too. Folks, let me tell you how much I wish I could just eat the ramen noodles like everybody else. So much food that I love (and in some cases spent years learning to make myself) went out the window forever when my body stopped being able to handle wheat. But at Strangebird, I could still go in and enjoy the depth of flavor in every other component of a bowl of ramen. And that meant the absolute world to me. I'm heartbroken.
