    Stopped in here while shopping around the Fountain Square neighborhood. They have a fantastic selection of music on various platforms- cds, tapes, records, etc. The additional offering of coffee makes the experience so much better! They also have small things like pins and magnets. It's clean and bright and well organized.

    huge selection of new and used vinyls, dvd, vhs, books, coffee, accessories, and occasional live music.

    Lots to look at

    To kick off My Mother and son's birthday weekend, we ventured over to fountain square to pop into Bovaconti for a light something to start our day. We walked down the street and immediately came upon Square Cat Vinyl and immediately fell in love, there was vinyl for days ,CD'S, Even a small movie and took section. We all began venturing around finding awesome music and the prices were some of the best ive seen in my search. They had some titles I had a hard time locating and some I had forgotten about but realized I wanted. I discovered grab bags of CD'S and LP'S as well. The CD'S were 5 for 3.00 and the LP'S were 10 for 15.00. Jazz was playing as we discovered every inch of the store. They have a cool place to sit and enjoy a beverage or listen to music. Cool sitting nooks to listen to music and the icing on the cake was a stage. They had some wonderful movie titles on DVD. We kept showing each other different finds we thought the other might like as well. When it was time to check out, I disc9v3red some cool buttons, which I love. And with my being a junk journal artist free stickers made my visit EVEN sweeter. It was a unanimous decision that we would all be back sometime soon. The cashier was the absolute kindest person, he laughed and joked with us during check out. For this to be the second stop on the birthday adventures, we were off to an absolute great start and couldnt wait to see what thw rest of the day would bring.

    This is a very interesting space that offers live music, vinyl albums, and seating to enjoy various beverages. The staff member I spoke with was chill. I will be back!

    Great place that is locally owned by some wonderful people. Good local and national bands, a fantastic selection of vinyl, and amazingly tasty coffee drinks. The peanut butter latte will change your life. Give these people your money.

    This is a must stop for a great cup of coffee and a rad/unique environment. Great place to meet with friends/coworkers for a quick pick me up and listen to some sweet tunes while enjoying your cup of joe.

    Square Cat vinyl is one of the chillest and coolest vinyl shops I've been to. They have all vinyl near the front and even have bargain bins for $3. They have a coffee/bar in the rear and even a stage for events. They have listening stations for the vinyls as well. I have not gotten coffee here but have picked up vinyl here. It was pretty packed in here today but overall you can move around easy. Just a reminder- no outside food or drink allowed inside!

    I feel like there has been a void in Indy regarding the support of music since the Patio closed in Broad Ripple.

    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.

    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.

We wanted to sit outside with our dog and the meth-mouth girl at the bar said we would have to prop the exit door open with something because she couldn't unlock it and that our dog wasn't allowed inside. Pretty normal, except she wouldn't let us open the gate to come in from outside. I asked how we were supposed to get into the outside area if we couldn't use the outdoor gate or come through the building and she looked at me like I had three heads. Maybe she was high? Didn't matter, the outdoor area was rough; Full sun, like two tables and weeds about waist high. We just left and hit some of the actual breweries around the west side. This place will be closed in 6 months for sure.

The pizza is kind of small though. It will fill two people or one person if you have portion control issues. They serve Narrow Gauge draft beer out of the St. Louis area and it is dynamite....a little pricey though. They had a barrel aged stout called Duality on draft and it was GREAT - one of the best beers that I've ever had and I don't usually like stouts. You can order cans or bottles of some of the beer to go. The bartender did an A+ job and she was delightful. I could have talked to her all day.

They have Narrow Gauge Brewery on tap, who apparently doesn't know how to make anything but good beer. I was in the mood for a dark brew and decided to try a few of their imperial stouts, all of which were delectable. First I had the Kofe and it was an aged coffee beer with a robust flavor at 12.5% ABV. Then I tried their guest tap called Hoplore and it would've pair well with a donut. Personally it was a little too sweet to think about having a full pint of but at 12.8% ABV it definitely had a wow factor to it. Finally I settled on the King Copra. This beer hit all the levels for me! I love anything with coconut, having it be 10.5% ABV was the icing on the cake. I can't wait to see what other wonderfully unique beers they have next time I visit.
