We came during happy hour on Sunday and we had a great time. This place has plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. The servers are also friendly and attentive. The apps were reasonable prices and filled us up. We enjoyed the drink specials as well. Not pictured are the chicken bites with curry ketchup. While the chicken itself wasn't super seasoned, it was crispy and the curry ketchup was delicious. After we ate our table played a board game and the server continued to check in on us. Overall a great experience! read more

The beer is good. I really enjoyed the Deduction Belgian-style dubbel - a Gold Medal winning beer. I am very sad about the food and service, though. I will cut some slack on the service, however - I arrives after what seems to have been a very atypical rush of Journey fans who inundated the place before heading to Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The staff seemed a bit rundown and slap happy - not really attentive to the bar where I sat. I waited a bit long before I was greeted with a menu, waited awhile with an empty glass, waited with my food pushed away before it was cleared. No one asked if everything was okay even though most of my food was untouched. The food... my salad (house greens) was a great little salad! I say this despite finding a hair on the plate when I was about 2/3 through. My mussels and fries were not great. The fries were mid - they tasted kind of overdone or as if the oil were old. The mussels were actively bad. The portion (an app) was pretty small. There was hardly any broth/wine and they weren't piping hot. Also, they were actually not tasty and the texture was rubbery. They remained in front of me, uncleared, even after I closed my tab. They did not smell good. I don't anticipate being sick but I do anticipate being hungry. read more

UPDATE ON REVIEW Madison Saves the Day! Just had my sons and future Daughter-in-laws rehearsal dinner at this establishment. Sorry to say did not go as planned since they served the wrong dinner. Should have been Filet and Chicken - we were served some undercooked Salmon (several servings) and Chicken. THE PERSON WHO SAVED THE DAY AND OUR EVENT -was our bartender / server - MADISON!!! She was awesome and worked so hard along with her GM. They did get my son (The Groom) a Filet (since he hates fish). They also did not charge us for the extra 4 people who showed up and were not part of the final count (to help make up for the food mix up). All in all if you book an event here, check and double check with their event coordinator on your final counts and to make sure you get the meal that you ordered and paid to have served. We had a good time overall and room is perfect for a private event. read more

I've always had good experiences at Taxman, so this may have just been an off day. I ordered the mussels, and while the mussels themselves were fresh and cooked well, the broth was just okay and didn't have the depth of flavor I was hoping for. That said, I'd still recommend Taxman because everything else I've had here has been consistently great. The service was friendly, the patio is a great spot to sit outside, and the location is perfect if you're heading to or from Gainbridge Fieldhouse. I will definitely come back and will probably just order something else next time! read more

Taxman CityWay - Mussels - Brewpubs Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

We braved the cold for Devour Indy to try out this spot which has been on our list for some time. There is metered parking along the street as well as some parking garages but keep in mind you might have to walk a bit. The space is nicely lit and has a fun patio which would be great in the warmer months. It is mostly windows and has a fun bar area so plenty of seating which highlight the city views. We made reservations but there seemed to be plenty of tables (probably as super cold). We tried various options and everyone exclaimed over the salmon, the frites and the grilled cheese. My gnocchi was amazing too! The showstopper though for me was the flourless chocolate cake! I will go back soon for that option! A fun place with lots of tasty options and easily accessible once inside. Definitely a place for a quick bite or a fancy meal as a fun atmosphere. The staff was kind and offered me tonic water either lime since couldn't have any alcohol this round...loved the fizz! A fun evening with yummy food! read more

It's downtown Indianapolis and it's a great afternoon evening spot too. Lots of people and downtown goings on to see. The service started off slow, but it all turned around nicely. The burgers here are great. I got the special burger. Teresa got the steak salad. No complaints at all. We stuck around for another cocktail and because the live music was too good to leave. Emma Richard's was super great. We loved our stop here. Looking forward to coming back too. read more

I visited Taxman for a team dinner on a weekday and overall the experience was 4* I say that cause my grilled cheese sandwich (pretty much the only vegetarian option) was too sweet. Granted it came with fig jam but the abundance of sweetness didn't sit well. The Brussels sprouts were a crowd favorite and we ended up ordering twice. Service was a tad bit slow despite Taxman being visibly empty. Overall ambience and vibe weren't the best, something was off for a downtown location. Will have to give it another try to enjoy the place. read more

Short review: over priced, unique menu, very little seasoning. It's a really cool location, atmosphere and menu. But the food just doesn't hit the price, and the service is slow for the location. I'd love it here if they nailed the menu, but pretty much everything fell clearly short of good. read more

We booked a private room at Taxman for a conference, and it was great from start to finish. The staff greeted us upon arrival and led us to our room, which was set up for us in advance. We started off with cocktails, and everyone in the party enjoyed theirs. They were well-blended and not overly sweet. The two people in our party who ordered mocktails also noted that they were well-made. Everyone in our party ordered something different, and we were all happy with our choices. The burgers were cooked perfectly, the truffle fries were crispy and full of savory flavors, and the Mac and cheese had a great cheese blend and very tender beef. Our server Jake was great. Our waters were never empty, and he checked in with us frequently. I am not from Indy, but I absolutely recommend Taxman to those who do live here and those visiting. You will not be disappointed! read more

Beware of making a reservation here on the OpenTable app. We had a reservation for Wednesday (today is Sunday) for four of us. We were hoping to grab a bite to eat at a place that wasn't too far away from Gainbridge before the concert we were going to. We got a message today stating our reservation was being cancelled due to being booked by a group, and could only offer us seating on the patio. Mind you we have been under consistent thunderstorm warnings the past week, and Wednesday we have rain and cold weather in the forecast. Now we are left scrambling trying to find somewhere to eat beforehand. In my opinion, the restaurant handled this poorly. They should only allow bookings within a certain timeframe, so that people with reservations don't get the short end of the stick. They also could have offered us some sort of incentive for the inconvenience to visit on another day. read more

The most fun space! We wondered in for post dinner drinks and stumbled on the brewers guild after party which was so much fun!! The beers were good and the staff were incredibly friendly.

I'll start off by saying I had heard nothing but rave reviews of this Taxman location, so I've been dying to try it. We grabbed a seat at the bar and were greeted right away by the bartenders, who gave us some recommendations. The Brussels sprouts appetizer had good flavor, but they were fried into oblivion and cold. It was like they had re-heated them multiple times. I got the chicken sandwich, grilled, which was the best thing we had. Tons of flavor and the fries were cooked and seasoned perfectly. The short rib, which all the staff raved about, was cold and tough. Once again, it seemed like it had been re heated and sitting out for a while. This was strange because we got there at 5:30pm. Considering we paid $120 dollars for that, I wouldn't go back unless it was for the chicken sandwich. read more

I had the opportunity to organize a corporate event yesterday for 50 people and I just can say THANK YOU! Ashley who helped me with the organization in the last minute, was able to accommodate everything for me in the last minute without hesitation. Madison and Sophia were incredibly kind and sweet helping with all the details during the lunch. PS: thanks for the awesome Arnold Palmer and Margarita! The Chef and kitchen staff out of this league. Food was awesome, perfect quantity, flavorful. The place was cozy, clean and ready waiting for us despite arrive earlier than expected. Again, great job and thank you so much for taking care of us. read more

We were in town for work and I took the crew here for dinner. There were 13 of us and we sat outside in the beer garden. The beer was amazing, so many unique brews. All of the shared appetizers were great and our entrees were also great. We had a great experience and I returned the next night by myself and also brought some beer back home with me to Colorado. Love this place!!!! Will be back next time I'm in Indy! read more

Came here early on a Friday afternoon and enjoyed all the beers we tried. My wife had the wine and enjoyed it. Most of taxman beers are excellent, in my opinion. We also had the soft pretzel with beer, cheese and mustard, and it was a hit. Followed by the mac & cheese with brisket, the short rib, and the Frisco burger with fries. The mac & cheese with short rib was good and the short rib with the mashed potatoes and mushroom glaze was excellent. Enjoyed the experience and will return if I'm in Indianapolis another time. Cheers! read more

During my recent trip to Indianapolis for a conference, I stumbled upon Taxman CityWay, and it turned out to be such a delightful find that we made sure to return before leaving for the airport. On our first visit, we tried the chicken and waffles, which were tasty, although the real standout were the fries that came with the burger ordered by others in my group. Those fries were so good that I knew we had to come back the next day to try more. The following day, we shared the Gouda burger and, of course, got another order of those amazing fries. The burger was delicious, with the Gouda cheese and onion jam. I definitely could have used more jam. Service on both days was excellent. Despite the busy atmosphere, the staff remained attentive and friendly, ensuring our dining experience was enjoyable. The restaurant itself has a pleasant and modern ambiance, with comfortable seating that added to the overall experience. Overall, Taxman CityWay exceeded expectations with its delicious food, particularly the standout fries, and excellent service. I highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area. read more

Right downtown Indianapolis underneath the railroad tracks but close enough to walk to both Colts or Pacers games, this upscale Belgian-inspired brewpub can get really packed so try to set a reservation or get there early! During sports seasons they stream sports at the bar so it can get very loud and lively in there! It echos too. Service is average but as I mentioned it can get busy and staff seems spread thin. Food is unique for the Midwest and high quality ingredients!! Their chicken and waffles was honestly perfectly crispy. The chicken sandwich was average but was hoping for a spicy sauce and high quality pickles but the toppings are mostly all coleslaw. Tons of awesome brown ales, Belgian wheats, and super flavorful stouts all brewed right in house. They have two floors and an outdoor patio area with a lot of seating. Great for a classy work dinner or guys night.. you can even rent the top bar for a work party or event! read more

Stopped in at Taxman before a Pacers playoff game, and the location couldn't be better -- right across the street from Gainbridge, which made it super convenient. We came with a group of friends and had a great time overall. The cheese curds were excellent -- crispy, golden, and packed with flavor. Definitely a standout appetizer. Their beer selection was solid too -- great variety and everything we tried was on point. The rest of the food was decent but nothing memorable. We had a mix of burgers and a salmon sandwich at the table -- all okay, but a notch below the apps and drinks. That said, the fun vibe, friendly staff, and location make this a great pre-game or hangout spot downtown. Would definitely come back for the beer and atmosphere alone. read more

I really enjoyed my visit to Taxman CityWay. The space is surprisingly large. It seems like a great spot to visit before heading to events at the Fieldhouse or the Stadium. If I had to guess, I'd say it's also a great spot for game-day viewing. The food was a delightful surprise. I don't think I tried anything that I didn't enjoy. The signature cocktails were well balanced and delightful, as well. If you're in the mood for good food, classic industrial design, and want to be close to the action on game day, I definitely recommend giving Taxman CityWay a try. read more

I came here before the Taylor Swift concert since it was close to Lucas Oil Stadium. They had themed cocktails for the event and mine was really good! I ordered the nachos off the happy hour menu and it was the perfect portion for one person. Their happy hour prices were very reasonable. Service was a bit on the slower side, but it was to be expected with the crowd of people for the concert. read more

This is a nice city gastropub type restaurant in a new area of downtown Indy. My group and I were here on a Wednesday night and there was live music in the outdoor seating area. I got the buffalo chicken sandwich with fries and curry ketchup. To drink I tried the Peach Pit off the cocktail menu. The drink was really great. The meal was good but it wasn't the greatest thing I've ever tried. The waiter was super personable and nice but not the speediest. That could have just been because he was overly busy. read more

I wish I could give 0 stars, I came here and ordered a burger, a simple burger. They brought out the most sad pathetic disappointing plate I've ever had.

Mid food, aloof, inattentive service particularly the bar staff. No bussing or checking on us for long periods of time

Great location, great service, great food Jeff (manager) and his team are so welcoming and accommodating. The chef makes amazing scratch made recipes, and the food never disappoints. I haven't had one bad thing on their menu. Drinks are delicious and I love their rotating seasonal menus! read more

We've now had two great dining experiences at Taxman. The service is always excellent and we've enjoyed the burgers and sandwiches that we've had so far.

Before coming to Taxman, I had heard very mixed reviews. Some people loved it and some people said it was "so-so." I think after my first experience here, I'm leaning more toward "so-so" Firstly, I have to note the service was very slow. We got there pretty early (around 4:30 or 5) so it wasn't very busy, yet somehow we still waited ages for our drinks and our orders to be taken. The waitress was very nice once she got to us, but it really made no sense because there were barely any other people in her section. She also barely checked on us throughout the time we spent there. Some of the food was really good but some of it very mid. To start, the nachos were not great. There was barely any cheese/toppings. I think we also got the loaded fries and they were okay but lacked enough toppings as well. The Brussel sprouts had goat cheese on them, which I'm not the biggest fan of, but otherwise they were good. My pork tenderloin was underwhelming and had a very thick breading. The highlights of the meal were probably the chicken and waffles and the carne asada. Those were both very good! The drinks we ordered were also tasty when we finally got them. Overall, I'd probably try this place again if I were to be invited but I don't think I'll ever choose it myself. read more

I managed to score a last minute reservation for Valentine's Day here. It's slightly hidden, but don't let that scare you. We were totally undecided on food choices. Everything that came out looked great. I opted for a boring choice of nachos, but wasn't disappointed. My partner got the pork chop and a side of brussel sprouts. Both options worth a return back. I got my standard moscow mule and must admit, it was entirely too sweet. Regardless, I'll be back to sample other items on the menu. read more

I should start off by saying I was in a pretty decent sized group and I always feel like that factors into the type of experience I have. I never expect much with a group our size, but our waitress and seriously on it! We never had empty drinks and she was so funny and personable. So she was definitely one of the best parts of the experience. Now for the food and drinks, I got a margarita and it was okay, it honestly just tasted like sour mix and tequila, which personally isn't my favorite. But everyone else seemed to enjoy their cocktails so I may just be picky! For appetizers we got the deviled eggs and the pretzel, the pretzel was okay, it was a typically brewery pretzel so I couldn't complain there. The biggest issues came with the orders, now I cannot stress enough how amazing our waitress was, everything came out hot and it came out correct. It just was very... meh. When asking around the table how everyone's food was, it was a resounding "okay", most people left with a decent amount of food left. There isn't one specific thing I can't point to that I was like "this is the issue to be fixed" it just wasn't super flavorful food IMO. read more

Stopped into Taxman before a Pacers game and was pleasantly surprised to get a table. Taxman excels at brewing Belgium style beers, but I tried the coffee bean brown ale and it was delicious. Service was friendly and attentive. The giant pretzel and beer cheese was fantastic, a nice flavorful crust with a warm soft center. Burger and fries were solid. I definitely recommend Taxman. read more

Came here with a friend to grab a quick bite and was pleasantly surprised. The minute we walked in we were greeted and seated. Our waiter was extremely attentive and provided suggestions on what he liked from the menu. I settled on the salmon sandwich and took in the rustic ambiance of the place while I waited. I appreciated that there was plenty of seating outside and that there is a patio for outside seating as well. Now let's get to the food, the sandwich was pretty good and the garlic aioli that came with it added the extra kick that it needed. Overall great ambiance, service, and food. Will definitely be back during the summertime to enjoy a drink on the patio while listening to live music! read more
