was so excited to finally visit Thieves in Broad Ripple, Indianapolis, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. 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. read more

Great drinks. Cool ambiance. Hot- turn on the A/C. 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. read more

Thieves has stolen my heart. What a great place to enjoy a spritz while lounging on one of their lovely velvet couches. In fact, they have five different spritzes on the menu, which I love to see. Of course, they have the classic Aperol spritz. But they also have some creative takes, like the rose spritz, which is what I chose. It was very tasty, light and refreshing, and not too floral, which can happen with a rose-flavored beverage. Spritzes are amazing but not enough sometimes, so I also got a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon. Yum! The pour was generous. I kept my drink orders simple this visit, but Thieves has a whole menu full of creative cocktails. What you do when you enter is just sit down, and someone will come by and take your order. But if you're visiting for coffee (because Thieves is also a coffee bar), you can order at the counter. I don't recall if they offer food. This is mostly a place to get drinks. And it's a lovely place to get drinks. Thieves is located in the heart of Broad Ripple, which means that parking is atrocious. I parked near The Vogue and walked over, but maybe you can find street parking, if you're lucky. read more

After a very long and leisurely Sunday brunch at Cholita Tacos (across the street) our girl gang settled into the cozy and dare I say "seductive" lounge at Thieves. The decor left a lasting impression and is actually quite entertaining and made me want to take ALL the pictures lol. The server was very patient and professional with me and my heathens. I had my go to espresso martini and maybe more than one but hey who's counting right? Thieves is an intimate and cheeky cocktail bar perfect for date night or a night out with friends. read more

Thieves is a new addition to the Broad Ripple landscape taking over the old Starbucks. The ambiance in the evening is dark, comfortable, warm, cozy..great for a group of friends or a couple. For those just looking for a quick drink after work they also have a nice bar and really sweet bar tenders. The drink menu has so much character plus wine and beer. Their cocktails are fancy but also carry a very fancy price...this is definitely not a place for someone in a budget...not sure if they have a happy hour. Overall it's definitely a cool spot that has a specific clientle in mind. read more

I love stopping in here with friends for espresso martinis. I haven't been by for coffee in the morning yet, but have it on my list to do so. Cocktails are great and I love the bigger space from the original spot across the street. Service can be hit or miss, but it is a bar, so I guess that's kinda to be expected. We stopped in the other night and they were consistently busy, so we went to order another round. They said they had "already done last call," but they had 100% not announced that to everyone inside, maybe just the people sitting at the bar, and it was an hour to close. Still a great bar to visit when you're in BRipp. read more

Came to thieves when it was just a bar at their old location. Stopped into the new location for coffee. The vibes inside are very cool and the music is great. Came here with a friend for coffee, pastries and conversation. Got the cream pie latte and chouxnut. Latte was good and the chouxnut was okay - more so what I'd want as a dessert. Vibes are vibing Drinks are drinking read more

The new era of Thieves is bright! We've been going to Thieves for the past 3 years and last night was the most crowded I have seen it. It has fun seasonal drinks with complex flavors, a brighter interior, larger space, and the smell of coffee mixes nicely. I was initially hesitant hearing about their move from the dimly lit, intimate space just up the street, but wow, great move! read more

Thieves - Smoregasm (seasonal) - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Such a cute spot! this cafe/cocktail lounge is a great spot to hang out with friends at anytime of the day. I had the Honey trap, it had a good level of sweetness without being too overly sweet. I do think I should have ventured out and tried something new, since its similar to other honey latte drinks. My friend had the Bloom Job and the presentation was so cute! It had a foam to with a dried edible flower. The inside is well decorated, but very interesting bathroom decor choies LOL read more

Thieves is always a vibe! I'm glad they opened the new space because it allows for more seating options. Service was great as always, our waitress was super attentive and we got lucky when we got there because we got a table right next to the bar so it was easy to communicate with all the bartenders. Since we were planning on just drinks, we didn't get any food but the food options do look spectacular so I do want to return for that. Honestly, this is my favorite cocktails spots in Broad Ripple so I will be returning soon! read more

I recently visited the new location with my husband for a much needed date night. The previous location was more cozy and dimly lit, but I appreciate the additional space and new seating here as well as the added board games to make me stay longer. We ordered several drinks and a few risqué shots - the result of a few rounds of the card game Uno that had some hilarious consequences. The waiters were great sports as well and entertained our shenanigans. We had so much fun we almost forgot we were new parents, keyword "almost". Epic night out! read more

Such a cute spot! They've moved into the old Starbucks location on BR Ave. That means more of their great decor. Many neon signs with great quotes. The bar is pretty. More seating. Drinks are good. One of the better smores latte I've had. Good service. read more

The gym I go to is always recommending this place so I stopped in after the Turkey Trot. It's so cool inside and they have a full bar. I got a hot chocolate and they offered to spike it. I accepted and it was absolutely delicious. I can't wait to go back at night and have drink there. read more

Thieves - The lounge - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

What a nice vibe in here. I stopped in to pick up materials for the Broadripple passport shopping event that happened here at the end of november 2025. The seasonal coffee drinks sounded amazing and I tried one that was a bit heavy on sweetness, but really made the shopping more enjoyable. I was impressed that this coffee shop was also a cocktail bar at night. The decor is stylish and the mood is comforting. Located on a busy corner where a starbucks used to be and across the street from there previous location. This combination of coffee and drinks should be a success! I know I will not hesitate to stop in here again. read more

This trendy coffee shop/ bar is super cute. I stopped in for a quick latte on my way back to work after running an errand and didn't want to leave. The staff was nice and the ambiance makes you want to sit down and have a cocktail. I had an iced pistachio latte with oat milk. It was what you would expect for an iced latte. It's the atmosphere and service that gets this place a 5 star review. I can't wait until I have the opportunity to go back, get a cocktail, exhale and just enjoy the space. read more

Such as great space and I love the concept of coffee and cocktails. I was greeted as soon as o walked in. I always like to have a croissant with my coffee and they asked if I wanted it warmed, heck yes!! Sadly it was cold in the middle and doughy, so I wasn't able to eat it all. What was warm was good and not overly buttery. However, I think I'll stick to just coffee. My coffee was great, a little on the sweet side but not too sweet that I needed to add anything. I could taste the honey and cinnamon and it was just perfect to get the day started. read more

I recently tried out the new Thieves location, which is only across the street from the previous location! I love that they took over the old Starbucks space, and something local went in. I think it's a great idea to serve coffee AND cocktails! It's definitely a concept that Broad Ripple was missing. I went on Sunday morning around 9am, and we were the only customers. We decided to enjoy our drink indoors and we were happy to see so many people come in and try out the new space. I ordered the shaken espresso but plan to try other items on their menu. I do miss that they don't have a patio space anymore, but the inside is so much more spacious. I look forward to going back! read more

Okay i'm OBSESSED! I used to frequent Thieves at their previous location just down the street, but I'm in love with what they've done with this old Starbucks location! Your perfect moody, girly pop, instagrammable spot for coffee AND cocktails. The baristas were so sweet and fun to talk to and had drinks flying out the door. I really enjoyed taking the time to look around at the decor, especially the bathrooms. read more

I went to the new Thieves location on Thursday October 30th which I made it there by 5:30ish that evening. New Thieves is on the corner of Guilford Ave where the old Starbucks used to be at. Thieves have been at new location since March of 2025. In, the daytime coffee shop then after 5pm it's a full bar. I absolutely love the dark ambiance of the place dark, red, black, coffee posts, comfy seats, a much upgraded place from where it was originally. Thieves is right across from Brothers and Kilroy's great business location, and on the Indygo bus line. The service was slow that evening when sitting out in lounge areas, the Bartenders bring you the drinks, and food. Now, the restroom wallpaper very explicit so I couldn't show those images. Overall, I enjoyed my time at the new Thieves location and will go back soon. Lastly, they do have happy hour specials, events there, brunch. Thieves is great for solo, date or just meeting up with friends. There's no dress code look nice, cutesy, or just dress casual. Make sure you check out new Thieves location. read more

Thieves just moved across the street into their new spot and it's cute inside - cozy, stylish, and totally made for lingering. Love the day-to-night setup: grab a coffee in the morning, then come back for cocktails later. It's giving neighborhood hangout in the best way. Quick and easy service. Definitely a go-to to grab a drink in Broad Ripple. read more

one of the coolest bars in broad ripple . i like the aesthetics here . the lights are low and there's a red hue on everything . very instagram worthy . the bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable of the menu . they do have light bites if you need something to accompany your drink . they're open early in the morning for coffee (bar is still open) and they're open late if you want something a bit "stronger" than coffee . read more

This place has been on my list to try since it opened. Finally had a girls night on a random Wednesday and it didn't disappoint. There was just one other person in there but we arrived when it first opened. The server we had was very friendly and recommended drinks based on my taste profile. It's a small quaint place, not a ton of seating but there is indoor and outdoor seating. The music wasn't my taste but if you like rock and roll it would be fitting. There isn't food however, they do allow you to bring food in and Union 50 is right next door. The only reason I didn't give it 5 is the drinks are pretty expensive. I ordered one drink and with tip it was just about $20, so beware of that but it is a nice change of pace and a good time. read more

I enjoy this bar! We came here before a show at butler and decided to have a drink, I had a bramble mule that was refreshing and perfect for summer. We sat outside and enjoyed the weather, check this place out if you enjoy cocktails, they always have something fun on the menu! read more

The drinks were well made for the price tag. I had a delicious and creative take on a mule. However we waited over 25 minutes to get our order taken. Then after finishing our cocktails waited another 20 minutes to get checked on. We didn't chug our drinks by any means either. Great spot if you have lots of patience. Other than that it's clearly more for the aesthetic than the service. read more

Thieves is a bar off BR Avenue and next to Union Jack. It's primarily a cocktail bar with some beers on drafts and cans. We had drinks here Saturday night. I ordered the espresso martini. It didn't disappoint. There are neon signs with your usual "girls be bad" theme. I loved the Thieves sign with the lights. My drink was great, and the drinks came out quickly. I think the neon signs are out of place, personally and don't gel with the rest of the bar. I like the velvet upholstery for the bar chairs and stools. There is no downstairs, and overall seating is limited. I would say that this is a good place for Espresso martinis. The prices are within range for what I would expect. read more

Thieves - a glass of wine sitting on a bar - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Thieves is super cute & cozy inside! I swear I've been there before, but also I have zero recollection of the absolutely adorable atmosphere. The cocktails are well thought out and quite yummy. They're strong, but not in an unappealing or imbalanced way. I really appreciated how knowledgeable the staff was about what was in each cocktail and their ability to make informed recommendations based on the individual's stated preferences. My one gripe is the seats. They're jussst a bit uncomfortable. While visually appealing, they lack a bit of comfort. That aside, this is definitely a spot I would recommend and I'm sure I'll be back. read more

Great drinks! Super nice staff and fun decor. Worth the trip to the area. Board games available.

Oof. This was my first time at the new location and it was... an experience. We came in on a Saturday evening and it wasn't packed, but had a decent amount of folks in the space. I'll start with this, the drinks were great. That is once we got them. The service was terrible. They were well staffed but said staff wasn't on the floor and spent most of our visit with one another. The wait with so few tables full was painful. read more

At the old location, it was might go to cocktail place, but more recently I've enjoyed going in the mornings for coffee. It's a great cozy place to work. I really love that they had the fireplace going today. read more

I stumbled upon this little bar from Yelp (so thank you reviewers). I didn't realize it was in the heart of BroadRipple. It's certainly a bit hidden. When I walked in, it was pretty bare, but the atmosphere is perfect for a date! There are cute signs everywhere, the bartender was great, drinks were even better and the photo options in the bathrooms might make you giggle. I'd love to come back and enjoy the outdoor seating. Unfortunately it was just a bit too hot on the day of my visit. I will certainly be back though! read more

Tens across the board if you are in a bar hopping mood while in Broad Ripple! My friend and I stopped in to thieves after having dinner together and we were so happy we did. There are tons of drink selections to choose from, all fancy and deliciously in their own way. I chose an amazing lemon drop cocktail while my friend chose a champagne cocktail that she explained was fruity, sweet, and just what she needed. If you love photo ops get your camera out here because this is the spot to do so! There are neon signs all over the walls with Playful sayings that you've just got to take a picture or two with. Cheers! read more

Stopped in for a drink after dinner on a date night. We got there at the perfect time and were able to get a table and order a drink from the bar. The inside is intimate and decorated with unique bar lights. They also have a nice sized deck/outdoor area which I'm sure is perfect when it is warm out. We got a whiskey and an impeached. The impeached was a nice refreshing mix that reminded me of a peach tea. The whiskey was whiskey but we were surprised that they didn't have Woodford. The alternative was solid but I can't remember the name. By the time our drinks were gone the place was filling up and we decided to go but I will definitely be back to try another tasty concoction. read more

Thieves - two cocktails in front of a neon sign - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I went to Thieves last summer for a girls night out. It was a blast! Thieves is woman-owned, and one of if not the only cocktail lounge in the Broad Ripple area. There are silly neon signs all around the bar, perfect for a photo op! The deck probably doubles the size of the bar and is a fantastic perch for people watching, especially now that all the construction is done in the area. The drinks were dynamite, and if you get hungry you can always grab pizza or a snack from somewhere nearby! Also got great service from the bartenders! read more
