From the moment I walked in, I was obsessed with the atmosphere and all the thoughtful details that make the space feel so unique. I love that it effortlessly transforms from a cozy coffee shop by day into a cocktail bar at night--the vibes are immaculate no matter when you visit. The staff was exceptional and so helpful in walking me through the menu. One of my favorite things to do is ask the baristas what they recommend, and they definitely didn't disappoint. I went with a blueberry vanilla iced latte, and it was the perfect way to kick off my Friday.

Great drinks. Cool ambiance. Hot- turn on the A/C…read more I really enjoyed Thieves. It has a unique atmosphere with a mix of people doing their own thing. Some were quietly relaxing while others were catching up over drinks. The coffeehouse-meets-cocktail-bar aesthetic is well executed and gives the space a distinct personality. I ordered the nonalcoholic Basil Needs a Break, and it was excellent. If you like basil, this drink definitely delivers. It was bright, refreshing, and very basil-forward. The service was friendly and welcoming. My only complaint was the temperature inside. It was nearly 100 degrees outside, but the bar felt warm with very little air circulation. It was almost refreshing to step back into the muggy heat after leaving, which probably isn't the feeling you're hoping to give your guests. I'd definitely come back for the drinks and atmosphere, but I'd hope for a cooler temp next time.

I was really excited to check this spot out meat my home. It's hard to beat their location near the…read moreMonon Trail and it's great to see them gathering neighbors like Recess Social. The space is cozy with large windows and garage doors- similar vibe to its former days as West Fork Whiskey. Why only three stars? The woman taking orders was painfully unfriendly. Even in my attempts to ask questions and engage, it felt like I was bothering her to place an order. It's a shame because the drip coffee was delightful and I appreciated their high top bar with outlets. I'm a big believer that coffee shops are 50% about coffee and 50% about the experience/feeling of community. I'll visit again and hope for a more warm experience next time.

Seriously such a fun place and the drinks are always great. The bartenders are cool and it's for the most part, not that loud. Parking available and easy to find.

I…read morehadn't been in for some time, but the staff are always friendly and they have a good selection for such a small space. Each of us got a French 75 and it was a perfect way to end the evening. I also love the food truck they have in the back, but it was too late in the night for a snack during this visit. Can't wait to come back!

You can tell Casey the bartender truly loves making them and connecting with people at the bar. 10/10 can't wait to go back!

I thoroughly enjoyed the…read moreVeggie Breakfast Burrito with what seemed like a homemade, spicy red salsa as well as broccoli, feta, red bell peppers and crispy home fries (inside the burrito). The Fried Egg sandwich comes with pickled onions, crunchy sunflower seeds, avocado and a great value for a hearty meal in the heart of downtown adjacent to the BottleWorks District. The decor is adorable! There is also a casual, cute bar and great drink selections! Self service approach (after you order, they drop the food off at your table but they have water, utensils & napkins available for you--Kind of like Flower Child in Nora). Definitely hipster vibes. Plenty of open spaces to fill across from Center Point Brewing. LOTs of construction going on in the surrounding building at the up and coming Factory Arts District. Didn't seem to stop people from working there remotely though. It was nice to go on a Monday afternoon while there was plenty of parking in the lot although there is street parking nearby as well.

You walk up to the counter to order and will be given a number to set at your table while you wait for them to prepare your order. I ordered the chopped cheese and it was absolutely amazing. I will be thinking about these flavors for a while. The fries were equally as delicious!! They have a lot of fun options for coffees and cocktails. I tried one of the cocktails that was on special for the weekend. We will definitely be back!!

While the menu looked great, I was able to order a custom old-fashioned with Buffalo Trace KY bourbon, black walnut bitters, demerara syrup, and Luxardo cherries, and it was perfect. The bartender was not only skilled but also fun to chat with, which made the experience even better. The aesthetic here is modern, chic, and clean, and the service matches the vibe - professional, welcoming, and attentive. This is definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to during my stay. Whether you're a guest at the hotel or just nearby, Rye Bar is absolutely worth a visit!

The bar is located on the lobby level of the Marriott Downtown Indianapolis and was very busy but the bartenders did a fantastic job at filling the orders. The Rye Bar is rated as a highly recommended bar to quench your thirst.

Situated inside Hotel Nickel Plate in Fishers, the restaurant was right there off the main entrance. The buffet set up was easy to understand and navigate. The food was so so good! The buffet had a variety of breakfast and lunch options as well as a build your own omelette station! The only thing I did not like as much was the chicken, it was a bit on the drier side but everything else was good. My favorite was the salmon topped with crab cakes, the bananas foster French toast, and the omelette I made. Teresa was AMAZING! Not only did she go out of her way to get us the type of coffee we wanted, she checked on us frequently and always made sure we were good! I would love to try their menu on a non-holiday set up so I will certainly be returning.
