Such a fun dive bar! Think: cheap drinks, small interior, neon signs in the window, and one food option. You can get a vodka sodas, Jack and cokes, PBRs, etc, each for only a few dollars. We also got a pizza, which I wouldn't recommend as much as the drinks. There was a jukebox, so we got to choose fun music to keep our group feeling dance-y. Definitely check out this downtown gem. read more

Love this dive bar. Very small menu but the food was great and service was as well. Staff was friendly and attentive. Will definitely return. read more

I came here on a Thursday night and there were surprisingly a decent amount of people here. It's definitely a dive bar scene with neon signs and sports memorabilia all over. They also have outdoor seating. It's located right across a Dairy Queen. I got a White Claw here. read more

This place has a cool vibe. Like your cool uncle that always was slugging back Budweisers while watching the game, or what John Belushi could have been. Went to get carryout, and they didn't have the greatest selection, but it was close. I've got to say, the pizza cooking smelled great and there is hella construction going on right now. This place can only get better. Trivia on Thursdays! read more

Sams is soooo much fun, always a great time! The atmosphere is fun and the food never disappoints! One of my favorite places to hangout in the summer time! read more

Gosh, where do I start with Sam's? I love this bar. It's such a wonderful little neighborhood bar that everyone needs to visit. The outside seating is ideal and their inside will never bore you! Their pizza is my FAVORITE of the entire city! They load the toppings on thiccck and then put the cheese on top to hold them all down. Ugh, my mouth is watering. Seriously, the fountain square neighborhood wouldn't be the same without Sam's. Do yourself a favor and stop in for a beer and pizza. CHEERS! read more

Sam's is a great neighborhood dive bar. Karaoke and trivia happen on the regular. This was our go to trivia spot for a while. But be warned, these teams play to win and the trivia is HARD! For example, the first 4 most populous countries are blah blah blah blah, name 5th, 6th, & 7th. Trivia is on Thursdays at 8pm, $3 per person to play and cash prizes go to 1st, 2nd, & 3rd. No more than 6 people per team. Lots of fun! Food and drinks are decently priced and popcorn is free! It can get pretty loud, but it's a bar so.. that's kind of to be expected. read more

Went in hopes of delicious pizza per the reviews. Left disappointed after eating what tasted like frozen pizza and drinking flat soda. There is no table-side service here, you order at the bar (not necessarily a bad thing, just wish I'd known before going). I didn't have a terrible experience but I'll also never go back. read more

I was curious of this pub while driving past for the last year. So one day I decided to make a stop after work was satisfied with the experience I had. The bartenders are nice with Tom and Brian being my favorites. With a pitcher of American beer and a stromboli you end up spending around $20. The supreme pizza is delicious being thick and tasty. There are a few tv's with a couple games on. The other end of the spectacle is the crowd that comes in. The crowd on the weekend is generally nice with no trouble. read more

Some of the best pizza in the city! Went on a Saturday night with a group of friends around 11:30 and we were still able to order food, which was great! They have a good selection of beer and great music. I also love that they have darts and different events throughout the week. One of my favorite dive bars! read more

college college college Anyone looking to replicate their favorite bar on campus experience should be advised to run not walk to this place. Free popcorn, miniscule bathroom, walls covered in all the stuff grandpa was saving in the shed and cheap basic food takes me back. Went for lunch and we were the only patrons there but I did see a lot of carry out. Some local craft beers in bottles and wide selection of corporate beers on tap, quite inexpensive. We got the 7" pizza, which was a premade crust with 2 topping for $6.95, lots of cheese saved that one, and the Stromboli, which did not have meatballs as expected but instead ground sausage, which actually made it easier to eat. All were served in little cute pizza boxes. This is clearly the ultimate late night bar and I'm pretty sure you can get food until they turn off the lights at 3 AM totally perfect for hungry drunks. read more

This is a fantabulous local stop. Amazingly awesome employees. Awesome clientele. There's a small pizza kitchen that makes tasty meals and breadsticks too. Can't gush enough about this place. read more

Sam's is the definition of a great local hometown bar. I was here for my birthday a couple weeks ago and we had a blast. Drinks were cheap and the atmosphere was perfect; not too busy but not too dead. I want to go back and actually eat there because I hear they have some great pizza. Fun place and fun people. Will definitely be back. read more

Love the pizza from here! Live downtown and this is my go to pizza spot despite them not delivering, which is fair because it's a dive bar. If they charged $5-8 more per pizza I'd still be loyal to this choice establishment read more

I have been coming to this bar since 2011 thanks have changed but one thing that has not changed is Kathy making all the pizzas in the wonderful food that she does I believe hands down this best pizza breadsticks you can get around town you can stuff your breadsticks with anything you please don't miss this spot the drinks are reasonably priced Angel's Envy is $6 read more

Great neighborhood bar, and the vibe is awesome. It can take you a few visits to sit and look at all of the tickets, stickers, signs, etc. plastered all over the place. Our bartender Kevin was a really nice guy, so service is a plus. He mixes a good drink, and they have a nice selection of craft beer on tap. We had the pizza, and we liked it. Thin, crispy crust, generous cheese, and a soft, mild sauce. I think it just depends on what style of pizza you like in general. They have karaoke on Wednesday nights. We had a good time hanging out there for the evening and will definitely go again. read more

I've lived 2 blocks away from the place for 4 years. I always avoided it because I already had my spots prior to moving here. I made my way in with some friends a few weeks ago and it was exactly what I expected. We had a few rounds of beer and a pizza. The pizza was way better than expected. The service was interesting.. The record stopped when we walked in and were treated fairly hostilely.. Once they realized we were from the neighborhood and weren't dumb college kids dive bar hunting they warmed up.. It probably also helped that we tipped on every drink.. I have a feeling that doesn't happen every day. read more

Great atmosphere and pizza and breadsticks sandwiches great employees very fun place love this place

Silver Circle recently had a huge makeover. They are making moves here. The new back patio is clutch. The craft beer selection is growing which is important to me. They have Chilly Waters on tap which is a cool new brewery in the neighborhood. This place is an Indianapolis landmark. read more

Sam's Silver Circle Bar - Poppin' off - Pizza Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Heck yea, Sam's! Love this place; tis surely among my most frequented bars in the city. Cheap drinks, cool people, big patio. What more could a lady ask for? It's tucked away from the main rush & buzz of Fountain Square, but definitely still delivers all the hipster vibes you'd expect from that area. Walls and tables with random signs or stickers plastered all over. Sometimes it smells like pizza. Although I've never eaten here, I'm sure those bosco sticks would hit the spot after a few drinks. A friend once told me she felt "underdressed" ... which is the craziest thing I ever did hear. You could go to Sam's in your pajamas and nobody would give a Frick! Bartenders would still be chill and everyone around you would still be willing to lend a cigarette or buy you a beer. Wednesday nights (karaoke, anyone?!) can get a bit crowded, but otherwise it's usually not too bad. Not really a place I go to get wild & party, just a place I go to meet new people and hang with my friends. So you should come hang w us too! ;) read more

This bar is notorious for irresponsibility allowing individuals to launch commercial grade fireworks from its parking lot well after hours of legal activity night after night. The building is situated directly in a residential area with homes on three sides of it. Even if the owner provides these persons permission (required by law) to operate fireworks on its property, 11pm is the cutoff on non holidays. Tonight it was happening at 1am. The bar consistently ignores the neighborhood's pleas to not allow illegal activity night after night. read more

Trivia night first brought us to Sam's Silver Circle. First, trivia night is A BIG DEAL! Thursday nights, 8 p.m., but you better get there early to get a table. We typically order a pizza for our table, which is on par with Pizza King-style pizza. The bar has a good variety of craft beers on tap and many more in bottles. Probably my favorite part of going to Sam's is all of the memorabilia that covers almost every surface. There are tons of sports relics from multiple decades. My favorite is a letter from Jack Doyle thanking his scholarship provider so that he could attend Cathedral HS (and now is an Indianapolis Colts tight end!). Everywhere you sit you see something new. Sam's would be a great place to watch a game with its neighborhood feel, good beer and topping-loaded pizza! read more

This is one of the best bars in Indy. It's got the old timey neighborhood connection just east of the hipster BS places of Fountain Square. This is family owned and probably hasn't changed much in its 80 year history. Although they just have one king-sized Easy Bake Oven (one pizza at a time), their pizza is some of the best I've ever had. It only took about 15 minutes for our AWESOME pizza. They have karaoke on Wednesdays and trivia on Thursdays. Trivia last night was fun. The staff here are very friendly and attentive. Prices are very reasonable. read more

Love coming here for good pizza and cheap drinks. Fun vibes and good service! Trivia every Thursday is also a blast.

First time visit on Christmas Eve. Went thinking they had Karaoke based on a referral. Arrived to find that wasn't the case but loved the dive bar feel. So much to look at all over the walls! Brian was the bartender and a great one if I say myself. Drinks are great and very reasonably priced. Unable to try food because I arrived after the kitchen closed. They have a juke box which meant I got to hear some great songs. Not a big place but cozy and cool. Definitely plan to visit again. read more

This place is a perfect dive bar with awesome sports graffiti decor. We see something new on the wall every time we go. There is a nice covered patio area and off street parking. The bartender who is typically there on Friday evenings does an excellent job making sure your glass stays full. The bar also has excellent pizza. Their pizza,breadstick, and pitcher of beer deal can't be beat! The only (very minor) downside is that the inside is a little small, so you might have to wait for or share a table if it's busy. read more

We love to hang out here at the bar to have a drink or two and delicious pizza. There is also some mighty good complimentary popcorn. There is a dart board for playing with friends. There is an outdoor back patio that is pet and smoke friendly. The walls are jam packed with stickers and other memorabilia. This is also a great place to take cellphone selfies. The bartenders are friendly and attentive. read more

I came here the other day for a fun little day of drinks out in the Fletcher Place/Fountain Square area and we were suggested to come here by a friend. This place is really just a little diamond in a rhinestone world. We went around 4:30 on Saturday, so it wasn't too busy obviously. The bartender was a nice guy and the drinks were pretty solid and affordable. They had a PBR + Shot deal going on for $5, so I would've been completely stupid to not get up on that deal. What I really like is the look of the place. I love that their walls are collaged in old license plates and street signs. It has a nice little cozy ambience on the inside. However, on the outside there's a real nice little back smoking patio where they have a TV set out, something that seems like a little outdoor bar and the windows are adjusted with a remote. This is a great place for a chilled little outing to get a few cocktails before you head on to your next destination. I also kept smelling it, so next time I might get it, but I want to try out that pizza. It smelled way too good to not have any of it. read more

Didn't eat but had a great time! A really awesome dive bar. Definitely will be back.

One of my favorite bars in Indy . It has a classic feel to it ! Like a old Irish pub . Its really become a home for me to escape to after leaving work and dealing with my stressful job read more

On the corner near my new house is a little pub and sports bar called Silver Circle Bar and Sam's Pizza. A friend and I walked in to forage for food my first night in the house since I'd yet to buy groceries. That and unpacking put cold beer on the agenda! First thing you notice when you walk in are the 5 dart board machines. They have dart tournaments as well as a few big screen TVs to watch games. The place is completely covered with bar memorabilia, Sports Illustrated covers, local basketball and football team photos and you could spend hours in there counting the car license plates that also cover these kooky, old walls. Kathy was working the bar and making the pies that night. Rose was having a beer and proceeded to tell us that she had retired from working at Sam's after 20 years. While the barkeep was busy making our pizza, Rose spun tales about snow storms she had weathered to get the place open for the locals that worked nights and wanted a drink in the morning. She made the evening news at one point when the local media covered the storms. That was a pretty big deal to Rose! My friend and I shot a few rounds of darts before the pizza arrived. It was fresh, hot and covered in a mixture of herbs that might have been a bit too much for any palette. Two of the toppings were missing from the order but the pizza was really good despite not getting what exactly what we were after. Sam's serves bottled beer and offers carry-out at really reasonable prices. My friend and I had two beers each while we were there, the large pizza and a six pack to take back to the house after and got out of there for $30! Hearing local stories was actually enough to make me want to go back to this charming little hole-in-the-wall. I'm thinking it might be a good place to cheer on the Colts with my neighbors! This is a smoking establishment. read more

My friends and I love Sam's. It's never too crowded, the service is average to above average and there's a good beer selection. Plus they do pitchers, which is one of the main reasons we go there, besides the fact that they usually put on whatever sports game we ask for, usually with sound, which we can't get a lot of places (as Ohio natives we often want non-Indiana sports games andu they're obligatory so long as we aren't outnumbered). Sam's pizza is very average, no complaints, and there's free popcorn. This is a great place to just hang out and have a few beers. Also a bonus--they have a porch out back AND out front. Love this local joint for not trying to be anything besides what it is--a dive bar with pizza. read more

This place is fun! Thursday night trivia was crazy hard but such a good time! They have good beer at good prices in a unique environment. Super divey if you're into that. Interesting variety of people to socialize with and makes everyone feel welcome. The food selection is your classic bar fare. Nothing spectacular but you can at least get something decent to eat. I had stuffed breadsticks as a meal and it was plenty. Also sampled a friends "Cathy Special" which is their most staple menu item. It's a philly cheese steak sandwich with bacon and ranch. It was good! I'd say most would like it, but I have a strong dislike for ranch and bacon so it's not something I'd crave. But if you're looking for a chill spot to enjoy a cold one and socialize with some neighbors then it's calling your name. read more

Visited the Silver Circle last weekend for the first time. Talk about getting a bang for your buck. The beer is cheap, and nearly everyone was friendly :) Service was alright, but you can't expect the world when you show up late and are the only ones on the patio. The owner, Scott, and his father, Buck, were extremely personable and sat down with us for a couple drinks. I must say, I love that kind of friendly atmosphere. We split the stuffed breadsticks and a small sausage pizza between three of us. The breadsticks were to die for. The pizza was meh and loaded mostly with cheese. All in all, it was a fun stop. Love getting to know the people around Indy and this was definitely the spot for that! read more

What you have here is a nice neighborhood dive. Although the decor is like car crashed into a street sign factory, the seating is scarce (there just aren't many seats) and the lighting is obnoxious; it's actually a cool little bar in former residence type building. The beer selection was surprisingly good, prices were low, the beer garden was a hidden surprise, the bartender was solid, and the pizza was way, way cheap. Probably a great place to yell at the TVs when your team is on or somewhere to bring your non pretentious buddies for a cheap pint and a cheap pizza to sober their sorry asses up. read more

My kind of place! It is a small dive bar in Fountain Square and has been there for several years. They have a good selection of local craft on tap and in bottles and also have your normal domestics available. The drinks are well priced and we love the atmosphere. Their pizza is GREAT and I highly recommend it! read more

The wife and I stopped in here on a Saturday night as a friend was playing live music. The entrance was in the back through the small attached parking lot. The inside reminded me of an old sports bar with old license plates and magazines all over the walls. It was very bright inside which I thought improved the atmosphere. There were a few tables against the wall opposite the bar and around 6 or 7 stools at the bar. I saw earlier reviews mention minimal tables and a lot of dart boards. When we stopped in there was only one dart board and tables all along the walls. I don't know if they brought out the tables just because they had live music that night or if that is how it is now. The bar was fully stocked with about 10 or so taps ranging from PBR to craft beers. They were running a special that night where craft beers were only $3.75. Sign me up! I did not partake in any of the pizza as we had just come from dinner elsewhere, but a lot of people ordered it and it smelled delicious. They had plenty of seating in outdoor covered area where everyone mingled after the show was over. It is your typical dive bar feel and the mix of people the night we were there was crazy. The bar had a very cool vibe. One last note: I can't get over how nice the ladies working there were! They were truly awesome and provided great service. I am going to have to stop in and try the pizza the next time we are in the area. read more
