    Mushroom and tomatoes

    So flavorful. The combo of mushrooms with goat cheese was perfect. The tomatoes came with bread, cheese and jam.

    Until the night I ventured in there with one of my buddies, I had no idea this place even existed. Oh what I missed out on. The place looks great. The drinks are innovative and stroooong... and yummy. Food is fit for foodies. And the service impeccable... What more could you want?

    Stop 3 Severin Bar!

    This review is only on drinks/atmosphere: Boy, let me tell you - they can make one helluva Manhattan. Seriously, it had the perfect touch of smoke. Manhattans and I have memories and last night was a perfect rekindling of the memories. Service was excellent - totally on it and hospitable. The emphasis on local ingredients is beautiful, especially for a bar that is technically a hotel bar (you'll find Wilks & Wilson Syrups, Prohibition Gin, local meats, cheeses, etc.). Next time, I'll have to order something to eat, especially after reading Deborah B's recap. Atmosphere: clean and sleek - trying to put my finger on it, but it's not really my vibe but that wouldn't stop me from coming in to have a drink...especially the Manhattan ;)

    (Full order) bacon & onion rings

    For the last 5 years, we've been coming to Indy for CANvitational. For the last 3, we've been hitting up Severin Bar afterwards. This year we were staying at the Omni, which made this even better, but Severin Bar never disappoints. I'm pretty sure our bartender this time was Chris (at least that's the name I recall) and he was awesome. Great playlist, very friendly, put up with my drunken nonsense and made some delicious cocktails. Also, he was just fun to talk to! Every year, the day before CANvitational, they seem to put some beers on tap and you're lucky if you get them by Saturday. I'm pretty sure all the brewers/reps stay at the hotel, which probably explains why some kick so fast, but this is why we head here after the fest. Their 3 little pigs flatbread is everything you want after a fest. We've tried a few different items and have yet to be disappointed. I'm sure there are some better and cheaper places nearby, but Severin Bar has won us over.

    Moscow mule ( vodka and ginger beer)on the left and champagne cocktail on the right.
    Rob S.

    Great place to go for some old fashioned cocktails. I highly recommend the Moscow mule and the champagne cocktail. Both very tasty. They also support the Indiana breweries by having quite a few selections on tap, including Three Floyds. Food was decent. We had a backyard BBQ burger ( bacon and an onion ring stacked on top of a pretzel bun) and the veggie burger. They don't come with any sides besides potato chips. For an app we had the Bacon sticks. It's flavored bacon on a stick. Nothing to complain about on this appetizer. Tip: don't sit in the room away from the bar. Cold air flows in and we felt forgotten about.

    Quinoa veggie burger - do NOT order. So boring and one of the worst veggie burgers I've ever tasted.

    My friends and I chose this place for Devour cause we had never been there before and it seemed pretty good from the menu! We parked in the mall parking and walked over, not an issue. We sat down and were told a few different times that someone would be there to help us. ...ten minutes later and no one. Not even water or menus. In a situation where it's a Friday evening and its slammed and short-staffed, I understand. On a Tuesday evening when there's only 4 groups in the place? Not acceptable. We're finally greeted by someone who gives us menus and then we're left again. Finally our server comes and explains the menu. We ask her a question that needs to be addressed before we order, and she just awkwardly stands there till we tell her she needs to ask before we make our minds up. (By this time already, we're contemplating going to a new restaurant but she came back just in time to change our minds.) The server then requires that one of us put a credit card down to have on file .... We found that really weird since we were dining in and getting food. We order and try a few beer samples. The samples are good, not great, so we order our drinks. I do appreciate that they gave us an option to switch out the one vegetarian option with another, more appealing (at the time) option. We ordered the spicy corn fritters and they were good! We then got the quinoa burgers and chips and by God, it was one of the worst burgers I've ever had. Imagine the taste of quinoa....that's what the entire burger tasted like. No spices. No flavor. Nothing. Quinoa. Thank goodness there were toppings to save the taste. The chips served on the side were good, thankfully! At this time; we had a new server walking around and my friend attempted to get her water refilled close to half a dozen times before she finally got her attention. Out came the dessert. Some "Twinkie" liquor concoction. Honestly; an actual highly processed Twinkie tastes better. This tasted like grease meets gross liquor. I ate it cause I didn't want to waste the food. Overall, an experience of food and lack of service. I will never be back and would never recommend to anyone because of my experience. (Getting two stars cause the interior decor was worthy of an extra star.)

    Signature 1913 cocktails

    Want to be transported back to 1933 but still have your iPhone in hand? That's Severin Bar. Drinks are prohibition style - The Amped Up Mule, Whiskey Daisy and Real McCoy Rita are all delicious and well-made from the mixologists and bartenders on staff at Severin Bar. Bacon on a stick? Say whaaa? You have to try this appetizer, regardless of saying "I'm only here for a drink!" You won't be disappointed. The bacon comes in different marinades that enhance the great salty/sweet flavor. Severin Bar focuses on providing local ingredients, so much so that they even feature that information on their menu. While the food and drinks may take you back to 1933, the atmosphere and luxury of a sports lounge allow you to enjoy the conveniences of modern living. From the chalkboard draft beer list to the comfy yellow couch and bright "INDY" sign, Severin figured out exactly what I want in a bar.

    Duck Fritters
    Tonya S.

    We visited here on a Sunday and it was our first visit. The interior of the fairly new Severin Bar is really nice and inviting. We opted to sit at the bar. They have $3 local draft beers on Sundays, so I had my favorite, the Flat 12 IPA. We also ordered a Manhattan, which was presented well and a generous serving. Service at the bar was prompt and frequent. For food, we ordered the following: Local Duck Fritters: Generous portion and tasty. I only tried a small bite of one fritter and while I enjoyed it, I think they are definitely for sharing. I could not eat more than one. Indiana Board: Generous portion of lovely meats, cheeses, pickled veggies and herbed like crackers. While this was presented well on the board, it was not presented well by the server. Anywhere else that serves meat and cheese boards, like Ball and Biscuit or Traders Point Creamery, will introduce the board and explain the meats, cheeses, etc. We really didn't know what we were eating, unfortunately. Also, placing the pickled veggies next to the crackers made the crackers a little soggy. Local Greens Salad: The blend in this salad was very tasty, but I thought the portion was small. It isn't a side salad. It is a dinner salad and a dinner salad should be bigger, in my opinion. Quinoa Veggie Burger: This came with chips and we asked if we could substitute something for the chips. Among our options, we chose brussels sprouts. Not only did we still get the chips, but we were charged $5 for what appeared to be steamed brussels sprouts that were just okay. The quinoa veggie burger was not good at all. We ordered it without the bun and it was very dry. I cannot image how dry it would be with the bun. The food came out pretty slow. We were the only people at the bar and there were two other tables with one person sitting at them, then a big party of 8-10 in the corner that appeared to only be drinking. Overall, the service was great (sans Indiana Board presentation and confusion over substituting chips for something else). The environment was great. Drinks were great. The food was hit or miss, but I think there is hope. It is definitely worth giving Severin Bar a shot, just try to order the good stuff on the menu!!

    I was really looking forward to coming here for Devour last night. My friends and I were trying to decide on a place to go and I suggested Severin. I had read some good reviews and the menu offered a veggie option and drinks so I thought we'd give it a shot. We parked in the mall garage and went through a maze to get to the Omni (only to later find out that we could have had complimentary valet since we were there for Devour) We finally walked into Severin and were really digging the atmosphere - Brick and wood walls, 12 tv's, a pool table, dim lighting, etc. It wasn't busy and so we had plenty of options of where to sit; we chose a hightop table in the middle of the bar. We had been sitting for quite awhile without a menu or waters. A few people had greeted us, but no one seemed to care that we didn't have a server yet. The place wasn't busy and we had seen about 5 servers behind the bar so we were getting pretty frustrated. We finally get menus and ask for some water. We were handed a Devour menu and their regular menu. Since there were three of us we were trying to figure out how to order because the Devour option is 2 for $35. We were told that 1 person could get the same option for $25, but we didn't think that would be worth it so one of us ordered off the regular menu. We asked our server what was on draft and she had no idea. She finally comes back and just mentions the style of beer, she doesn't say the names. We ended up just looking at her paper with the names because she didn't look like she knew what she was talking about. The draft beer they had wasn't the best. We had asked for samples and after trying 4 we finally decided what to order. I was glad that we were able to get the samples because the initial beer I was planning on ordering wasn't that good so I'm really happy I sampled it first. While we were sampling beers, our server asked us to put a card down. We all were super confused by this since we were dining in, but I went ahead and gave her my card. Is this normal? For our appetizer we ordered the Spicy Corn Fritters. They were pretty delicious! We had asked if we could substitute the Devour Portobello veggie burger to their Quinoa burger and were able to. We later realized that was probably a huge mistake. The burgers come out and they didn't look bad. Unfortunately, it was bland. It did come with chips and they were pretty delicious, but who can get full from chips?! For dessert we were given two twinkies. I didn't even try it because it didn't look very appetizing and after seeing the expression on my friends face after taking a bite, I'm thankful I didn't try it! Although we were able to switch out our burger, able to sample beers, and enjoy the atmosphere the service and food just didn't make up for that. I felt bad that I suggested this place because it turned out to be a huge disappointment.

    Champagne Cocktail
    Brittany C.

    We visited on a Sunday when they weren't too busy. The decor is an eclectic mix of woods and modern touches.Chris our bartender was super nice, giving us his honest opinion on drinks and food. I got the champagne cocktails which he suggested, and it was a really good mix of flavors. My friend got the rum collins, not quite as fancy but also really tasty. When ordering an appetizer Chris suggested the steak tacos, we went with Tenderloin sliders instead because we already had tacos earlier that day. The tenderloin sliders looked very good but were a little inedible, the actual meat was very thin and rough, making it hard to even bite through it. Chris was accommodating and returned those to the kitchen and we got the steak tacos instead, which were really good. We also ordered a slice of cheesecake. Overall good experience but I would suggest they put a little more detail into the items they have on the menu.

    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.

    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.

    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!
