We love this place! The food is extremely fresh with a side of creativity. I'm a salad aficionado, and the Turkey Avocado salad met my high expectations with freshly grated parm, tender hard boiled egg, big slabs of turkey, topped up with homemade dressing. Chicken wings - the hubs said they were meaty and moist. Not quite five star, would have preferred buffalo style BUT he said he would order again. The real highlight was the service! Our rockstar server was incredibly attentive and personable, so much so that I made a point of calling it out to the manager. Can't wait until the weather warms up so we can enjoy this delish food in the outdoor seating! read more

Upland Brewing Clay Terrace - Turkey Avocado Salad - Brewpubs Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

Stopped here for a late lunch. I was able to sit outside on the patio as it was a gorgeous day. Service was very good and it was efficient. I ordered my usual Bad Elmers Porter and then I tried their salmon BLT. The salmon was nicely cooked and so was the pepper bacon- nice and crispy. The aioli was tasty. My only complaint is that sandwich came on a brioche style bun that was as just too soft for the sandwich so it started falling apart. I got the fries with it and they were hot and very tasty. read more

We had a great experience at Upland for lunch. The food and service were amazing! There's a great neighborhood bar vibe. The bar is upscale and comfortable, with indoor or patio dining. Sarah, our server was phenomenal and a true ambassador for Upland. She told us that Upland started in Bloomington and, now, there are five locations in Indy area. The food is locally sourced and Upland supports the community. She stands by all of their food! We ordered off the Devour menu so we could try a variety of foods. We didn't have a craft beer because it was early in the day, even for me. We started with the Spinach Artichoke Dip, which is large and shareable. The dip is delicious with lots of artichoke. The dip comes with really fresh blue tortilla chips and toasted pita bread. The portion was so generous that we took half home. For entree, I had the Blackened Salmon BLT sandwich with blue cheese slaw. The salmon was a large portion of fresh, perfectly cooked fish. There was thick sliced bacon on top with lettuce and tomato. A spicy aioli sauce was on the salmon. The sandwich was fabulous and I would highly recommend. If you like blue cheese, you will like the blue cheese slaw. The slaw is fresh and tangy. My husband had Bad Elmer's Fav burger with fries. His immense 1/2 pound burger was perfectly cooked medium rare (as ordered). He raved how good the meat tasted. The burger was topped with two slices of thick cut bacon, cheddar cheese, lettuce and tomato. His fries were excellent, large and crispy (I ate half of his fries). We took the Chocolate Brownie dessert home. They had packaged the caramel and whip cream separately, so it was easy to assemble. The brownie is really rich and chocolaty. We loved the dessert. Sarah was kind and proactively brought boxes out for us to package leftovers. She thanked us for coming. The service is amazing. The bartender showed me the Happy Hour menu. From 3:00 - 5:00, beers and sliders are $4 to name a few of the great deals. In addition, a featured daily beer is special priced. Growlers are discounted on Wednesdays and Sundays. Television monitors are playing various sporting events. Parking is available towards the rear of the restaurant. We did not find close parking early on a Thursday morning. I highly recommend. I'll be back for Happy Hour. This is an easy 5 stars. read more

I stopped in to kill some time as I was waiting for a deli order to be fulfilled at Whole Foods. I went straight to the bar and was tended to right away. They had some good sours on draft that day. read more

Went for dinner and sat on the patio just as the rain was finishing up. We sat there for a good 10 minutes before anyone came out to us, after my friend went and told the host we were still waiting. Lyric, our server was really great and kind. She even bought our first round of drinks to make up for the wait we had experienced. I enjoyed a Pint of their Pacers Cream Ale & The Hoosier Tenderloin. Both were pretty good. read more

Good food and great price. Nachos are good, so are the burgers. Great place for groups

I've been to Upland at Clay Terrace more times than I can count. I keep coming back to see my favorite neighborhood bartender, Sara. She pretty much runs this place. This is my "Cheers" where everyone knows my name. When the weather is nice I love bringing my dog with me to chill outside on the patio. They provide ice water and big water bowls too. The food is consistently delicious. The service is excellent. They have seasonal food and drink specials. It's like a bougie sports bar vibe. Busy on game nights. Packed at the bar. The staff here are some of the kindest and hardest working people I know. Today we tried the Blackened Crush Salmon Salad. It was really good definitely hit the spot. I had the Two of Tarts to drink. Really refreshing. Thanks again! See you soon. read more

We stopped here after the going to Atlanta Earth Festival. Great atmosphere especially when the garage doors are open. Perfect place to catch a game and sip the awesome Off Hours Bourbon Peach Smash, which all by itself, is worth a visit. By the looks of it, they have a great selection of IPAs too. Our server, Vinny, was attentive and professional. The two negatives, are the flank steak tacos. You get $9 worth of food for the $18 price. Do not order if you hungry; most appetizers have more food. The second is somebody skipped bathroom duty in the women's restroom. My wife said the first stall was out of toilet paper and the second was clogged and nearly overflowing. read more

Upland Brewing is a laid-back lunch spot with classic pub vibes-darker and lots of wood with a splash of plants for hygge that lures Millennials in. We stopped in for lunch while visiting friends who just moved to the area--wanted something easy and casual for our last day of the trip. The menu's got all the pub staples, plus a pretty impressive lineup of craft beers. I went with a burger, beer, and fries. The beer I picked was very good, it was an IPA. The food-solid and satisfying, though not exactly a flavor explosion or grippingly memorable on any front. The place was pretty quiet when we came in, and service was on the slower side, but nothing too bothersome. Would I rush back? Maybe not. But if friends suggested it, I'd happily tag along. It's one of those spots that's just... easygoing. No frills, no fuss, nice pub atmosphere and I can certainly find something on the menu to hit the spot. July 2025 read more

Three cheers a new family-friendly hang-out spot! I hadn't been to this location in Clay Terrace in years. There have been several different restaurants in this space, but Upland is by far my favorite. We stopped in at 3pm on a Saturday and there were people watching games at the bar and we ran into some friends eating lunch. We had two babies with us and our server couldn't have been nicer. We were sat next to the big garage doors and the babies loved looking outside. There was also some room around our table to spread out, so we felt super comfortable. We got two of the Hoosier lager beers and they were great. They let you try drinks before ordering and I liked tasting the guava sour, which I'll order next time. We also got a few baskets of fries for the table and they were SO good - more like thick potato chunks double fried, clearly in-house. Delicious. The only thing that would've made them better is if they came with a sauce on the side. They have a cool food menu here too with interesting options like lamb bolognese, duck tacos, whipped feta with jalapeno honey, and more. Our server said that the turkey and guac sandwich is her favorite, which I had my eye on and will order next time. Thanks Upland! We'll be back and especially can't wait to sit out on that patio during warm weather! read more

Loved the service Jaxon went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and take care of us. I highly recommend!

My husband and I went on a Saturday night - it wasn't too busy so we were seated right away. Our server was very attentive and made sure we had everything. They have several tvs with different channels (mostly sports) on so you can watch at any angle. They have outdoor seating as well for when the weather is nice. The food was great! We ordered the smoked wings, fish and chips, and nachos (with spicy chicken) - yes, we ordered too much for the two of us, but we almost finished everything because it was good. Would come back again! read more

Tried to come in and buy canned beer to go and it was impossible to get help. By the time I got help the bartender couldn't be bothered. I've recently bought sours in a can here and she said they didn't have any sours in cans only large bottles and went back to making drinks. I could literally see sours in the fridge on the side closer to the kitchen. Customer service is lacking read more

This is a great location to grab a bite, beer and watch some Sunday football. They have televisions at every angle! The food and service I received was good, no complaints. The only reason why this review is missing a star is just because this restaurant is very "ordinary" to me. There is nothing extra spectacular about the food, drinks or vibe. They're all good but it's definitely not a must visit for me. read more

TL;DR Fantastic beers, good food and a welcome addition to Clay Terrace. Sara (no h) is the best bartender, ever! Taking over Prodigy Burger's location, they cleaned up the restaurant, removed the stale beer smell and offer a much better food and beer. I opted for fish and chips which were good. My wife enjoyed her pulled pork sandwich. We split the spinach artichoke dip that was served with pita bread and blue corn chips. This was fantastic. The beers we superb. But Sara, she's the best! We will be coming back to see Sara again, and try other food offerings. I have my beer dialed in. read more

Upland has stepped up their game!! Love the new location at clay terrace. We stopped in to try their IU Hoosiers beer and grabbed a bite to eat too. There's plenty of seating and tv's at the bar to watch games. The IU beer is an awesome light lager type - very good. We had the hummus as an appetizer, which was a great shareable starter. Nothing spectacular but standard hummus with veggies and pita. We both had the burger and it was slightly over cooked but still great!! I had been craving one for so long and this hit the spot. Service was great and our waiter was quick and patient with us as we weren't in a rush. I'll be back! read more

Upland has really upped its eating game. So many great choices I had a hard time deciding what to order. I ended up with a salmon BLT sandwich which was tasty, with a side of blue cheese cole slaw, also good. Our service was exceptional. Unfortunately it was lunch and I couldn't partake in my favorite Upland brew, Champagne Velvet. Another time, Upland, as I'll be back! read more

First time here and it was very nice. Open and welcoming space. Food was very good. We had the nachos and others had a cheeseburger tofu salad and house salad. Service was good and loved the thank you as we walked out. Loads of tv sets to game watch. Beers are always solid although I passed due to det Jan. Loads of parking at the rear of the restaurant. You'll enjoy eating here. read more

This is a great addition to Clay Terrace! Great, open concept. Servers who are knowledgeable about their beer offerings. The thing I usually don't like about breweries is that their food game is weak, but not here! Great, varied menu with tacos, burgers, and even steaks. Great appetizer offerings as well as dessert, too. The food came out quickly and hot. Really good, solid food. We highly recommend the spinach artichoke dip and the burgers! And they've carried their favorites over from their other breweries like those bratwurst and pulled pork. We will for sure be back! So happy to have them here! read more

We were loving this restaurant till today. They brought my stake tacos with half of the meat on the picture, like a child size, hard to fill even two tacos. Then I ordered this one by saying that I will put them on the social media. The one on the photo came with the normal size and I gave it to my daughter who shared the half of her sandwich, since I was still hungry. Bad service, from kitchen to server (server was supposed to notice the size). I guess they have more than enough clients. Good for them! read more

This was our first time here and we were not very impressed. The pretzels tasted like cardboard, my tenderloin was decent at best and had way more toppings than I expected which made it very difficult and very messy to eat. My wife got the smoked wings and said that they were very rubbery and did not even finish them. They do not even have their kids menu visible anywhere. And I guess you love ipas and sours their beers could be great but I do not like them at all and they only had like 2 or 3 options that were not sours or ipas. The locations is great and in the summer time they could open the garage doors and it would be a nice ambiance. By FAR the best part about our visit was our service. Sarah was a great waitress. Very helpful, always kept our drinks full, was very quick with anything we asked for. read more

Katie is THE BEST! She's so kind and an amazing waitress. The food was fantastic and the mojitos are perfect. They had the doors up too and it was so nice inside, an amazing experience. 10/10 read more

It could've been amazing! First, the waitstaff staff is amazing and so was the music I like the young atmosphere. It was uplifting. Would I done here again I would, but I wouldn't order the fish and chips and because I don't eat meat, I'd have to figure it out.. Now I have to say I can't stand unisex bathrooms. It just gives me the creeps. We all know that men splatter when they stand and use the toilet and they don't wash their hands.. hey and some women don't you're just as guilty of it a lot of people think we'll just because they've urinated they don't have to wash their hands because it wasn't a bowel movement. Well, I disagree so you're nasty if you don't wash your hands. I believe the place in and around the bar could be cleaner. The fish and chips were good. They should've been great. It's kinda hard to mess it up, but it's possible when the outside is brown and crunchy and appears cooked it gives the impression that it's done. But the fish on the inside is a little undercooked, and the batter is wet. You don't know that until you bite into it especially in the middle super gooey! I have issues with that. I was going to send it back, but I didn't. I brought it home and put it in the microwave to cook it a little bit more and it was just OK. You know fish and chips dipped in batter the fish doesn't travel well and by the time you get it to where you're going it doesn't adhere to the fish. Haven't had fish and chips in forever years and I wasn't happy about the batter being sopping wet on the inside. I showed it to my friend and she was like yeah I see that. read more

These bartenders are friendly, kind, and make me feel at home. I love upland! Everyone is welcoming here. The staff works so hard.

We checked out the new upland while running errands and shopping at clay terrace. I'm thrilled there is a new restaurant option to replace the previous mediocre spot. We really enjoyed the atmosphere, food and drinks. It's much more of a restaurant feel than a brewery. We got a few beers and ordered the nacho appetizer which was a huge portion! It was so much for 2 adults and a kid. The waitress was very nice and accommodating for our needy 2 year old. There were tvs for my husband to watch whatever games were on. Will definitely be back. read more

Great location, great food, great service and even better food. The bar is large and has a few TVs. We all got burgers and the buffalo egg rolls. Warning the egg rolls have a little kick to them. Burgers are very good, bun is fluffy and soft. Definitely a needed stop in Carmel. read more

The turkey/guac sandwich and the beer cheese burgers were good. Our server (Kenzie) needs coaching! She brought two sour samples and accidentally dumped one on our table; my spouse sopped it up with her napkin. Instead of replacing it with a new one, we had to ask (ok, not a big deal) for a new one. A different server brought our meals; the fries brought with the turkey/guac were as cold as the sandwich (the sandwich was supposed to be cold!). When Kenzie stopped to check in, we noted the cold fries. She said. "Thanks, I'll let the chef know so he'll correct it for the next time". Whoa! I said, "I would like warm/hot fries....I'm not eating cold fries....i really don't care about the next person being served!" Kenzie, "oh, ok, I'll ask for new ones", which we later received. When we checked out, I suggested she put herself in the customer's chair, to which she said. "Cold fries don't bother me." Oh my!! BTW, the sour was excellent. We've been to the Columbus (3 or 4 times) and Fletcher Place locations and had great experiences. I suggest the management at Clay Terrace focus on coaching their servers. read more

The Upland locations always have such a cool vibe! The Clay Terrace location is no different. With that said, expect it to be busy whenever you go. We got there at 6 PM on a Saturday and didn't get a table until 6:30. Since it is a brewery, I can't not talk about beer. They have daily beer specials where each day is a discounted core beer. Saturdays is the little dragonfly. I'm doing damp January and their N/A beer was surprisingly good! As for their food menu, everything seems fresh. I ordered a Caesar salad and a side of fries. A downside to their food is, they never have ranch. They make a buttermilk dip, which is similar to ranch but on the sweeter side. Being from the Midwest, I've got to dip my fries in something and this buttermilk dip isn't it. Overall, the food is good but the vibe makes it great! read more

Excellent sours, burgers, artichoke dip is best in city, and good vibes. I've had some of their chicken sandwiches too- yummy.

They have a daily beer special as well as a happy hour. They also have an excellent breaded tenderloin, although it is not giant. They have a nice bar and friendly staff. read more
