Beer was good, especially sours and service was excellent. All the food was lacking. Salad was an absolute horror show. The comfort foods were decent but anything outside of that was not. read more

The place was big, bar not so much. Good for groups and BIG groups, and you are not on top of each other or can join the next table's conversation. Our server was pretty great, and up front about wait times. We went when the kitchen has a crew shortage, so there was a wait for food. For appetizers: nachos were great, but if you ordered a simple nacho, it's meh, we had to add several things and added $$ to make it REAL nachos. The dip for the pork rinds was good. The table ordered truffle fries, they finished it. It was our first time trying Upland beers. Most of the options are IPA and tart beers. None of which I like. The mixed drinks menu was meh, they offer 2 hard ciders, but one was unavailable. Our server let us try samples and she was very patient. For main dishes: I ordered a Salmon BLT. I DO NOT RECOMMEND. I didn't eat it with the bun, salmons was very thin, 1 piece of bacon, slice of tomato and 1 piece of lettuce. We had mac and cheese, DO NOT ORDER, it was floating in fat and there's no taste to it. Fish and chips was okay. The pizza was the highlight, it saved the night, I think. Bathrooms clearly labeled, easily seen, and clean. For 6 people, 2 of whom did not have alcoholic drinks (just water), our bill with tip was over $350. I would not come back here again, I had a better time and better food at other breweries. read more

Having been in Indiana for 15 years; I've visited a handful of the upland locations, the 82nd street one is the newest location for me. I sat at the bar, and was able to catch some of the Olympics which was nice! There is a good selection of beer, and I ended up picking the champagne velvet, which is a great lite beer and good starter. For my main course, I went with the tenderloin with everything. I enjoyed the stone ground mustard, and there was an interesting fermented pepper sort of deal on there was well which I wasn't mad at! Glad I was able to stop in! Will be back to try some more of their menu! read more

Love this location. The view out back is beautiful. We went at 2 in the afternoon and the service was great. Very helpful with suggestions and quick delivery. I tried the original TBK and the bourbon barrel TBK. They both were wonderful. Got the whipped feta for an appetizer (a little too dank for me) but if you like bold cheese flavors you will love it. I ordered the breaded tenderloin and fries. Very yummy. My friend ordered the Rueben. She loved it. read more

Every once in awhile old friends come into town and all 16 want dinner and room to talk, not a banquet after all. I called Amanda at Uptown and she assured me that she would sit us up so we could do as I had requested. The arrangement was beyond believable. A small nook in the back of the restaurant. Perfect Andrea greeted me the minute I walked in and made sure it was ok! Of course. The next test was good service. She got everyone their drinks within minutes of one another. She asked when to take the dinner order. And did so as I had asked. Get this, the food was unbelievably good and she delivered it, and seemed like she did so all at the same time. Outstanding! The manager stopped by and we sang our appreciation for the service we had gotten. I have to be honest, this was the first time and the first place 3 or 4 didn't complain and we have tried dining as a crowd for many years. Everything was perfect. Will we be back ? You betcha! read more

We just walked out and while the food was awesome and service was overall quick, I was very frustrated when our bill came and $6 kids meals turned into $11 and $14 meals due to up charges we weren't made aware of. Our son was going to order two meals, one burger and one mac and cheese and she asked if he just wanted it at the side, and I asked if they could do that and she said "yeah we can". Not mention that it was a $5 up charge. We then ordered the same for our other two with bacon added for one. No mention about packages. The bill came and instead of $18 it was $36. They could have gotten adult meals for that price (and one ordered an addition burger meal because it wasn't enough food). I was a server for 15 years, and I have NEVER not tipped, like ever, and today I left $0 with a note. It's so easy to just say "yes, that will be a $5 up charge". read more

Upland Brewing Company is based in Bloomington, Indiana but they have expanded with 4 restaurants in the Indianapolis area and 1 in Columbus, IN. My family and I had stopped at the 82nd Street location in Indianapolis for dinner. They have more than a dozen of their beers on tap, including the year-round Dragonfly IPA and Wheat Ale, but they also have seasonal selections and a handful of sours. For dinner, I enjoyed the Nashville hot chicken sandwich with Broad Ripple chips ($15). The giant piece of fried chicken was topped with blue cheese slaw and horseradish pickles on a toasted brioche bun. This was a really good sandwich, not overly spicy, but with a subtle heat that I enjoyed thoroughly. My wife noticed that any of their burgers can be subbed for grilled or fried chicken, black-bean patty, local bison, or impossible meat. She had the Bad Elmer's Fav with fried chicken, sharp cheddar, applewood bacon, Bad Elmer's Porter BBQ, lettuce, tomato, and onion along with a side of brewery fries ($16.50). This was an enormous plate of food! I think the Nashville hot was the better choice, but still, this was really tasty. Our kids enjoyed their selections from the kids menu. Our service was wonderful and the meal was pretty quick for a Friday evening. We would definitely return when back in Indianapolis. read more

Acceptable brewery / restaurant experience. Nice beer list and specials. Casual atmosphere. Food is decent at acceptable price to quality. Service is quite slow. Kid friendly. Not a destination but acceptable option in area. read more

Restaurant was clean and nice. Service was good, but I was one of two tables there on a Sunday night. Food was on the expensive side, and not that remarkable. The salmon was a tad burnt, and I was left wanting more. No sides on a $24 plate? That's crazy. The burger was ok. Nothing to marvel at. My bacon was cold, and the cheese was NOT EVEN MELTED. Overall, I would not actively try to come back here anytime soon. There's better burger places out there. read more

First things first, I was obsessed with our waitress, she was so friendly and did such a good job taking care of us! That alone would make me come back. As for the food it was okay! Not pictured was a Ruben I got and that was really good! Unfortunately they seemed to be out of a lot of the items on the menu (the app we ordered and two of the beers we tried to get) but once we got our food we were happy! It's your typical bar food, nothing crazy but did the job! All in all I would recommend! read more

I've been on business travel lately and I was sent to Indianapolis for the first time. Once I checked into my hotel I did a Yelp search for food and found this brewery was very close. I like trying local places and avoiding chain restaurants so I headed over. My bartender was very friendly. I asked for a recommendation on beer and she asked what my favorite types are. I said Stouts, Reds, IPAs in that order. She told me about their beer called Teddy Bear Kisses. She also gave food recommendations, which was good but nowhere near the beer :) The Stout was amazing, one of my top five stouts all time. It was strong, very flavorful, and smooth. I wish I could have taken some home to Texas with me. Breweries here could learn a thing or two from Upland. I ordered a pizza, which was good. I don't want to take away from that, but the. Were left the impression on me. Service was excellent, everyone was friendly. read more

This place is great. First of all our waitress Sheila was fantastic go IU lol. The place is nice great for big parties. We had the Nashville hot sandwich which my hubby liked. I had the Caesar salad with salmon very good and the Mac and cheese which was good just different than a normal Mac n cheese it's more of an Alfredo sauce than cheddar but still good. The cheese curds were everyone's favorite appetizers we had 2 servings. The truffle fries were good also. read more

Ordered pizza and drinks. Beers came out Pizza came out after 15 - 20 minutes. Wife's drink.... Nowhere in site. Bartender was "too busy" to care. "Manager" really wanted to start a fight over it. Even after my wife told her to forget the drink she stood there arms crossed and glaring. Waitress brought the bill after we finished- including my wife's drink. (Yes I made them fix it) Pizza was good. Service and attitude could not have been worse. Hopefully this place goes under soon so someone goes in who deserves that location read more

Great spot! Lots of natural light, corner lot with a large patio, excellent, chill vibe. Our waiter was insanely friendly. He could not have been more excited to be at work and interact with customers. He was willing to explain anything about the menu and beers and just chat in general. I ordered the Turkey Avocado Salad; it is now atop my list of best salads. There was soooo much going on in the salad from the fresh turkey to the plentiful avocado to the delicious dressings and the crunchy granola, I just loved it. It was also huge! I took about 1/3 home with me, but ate it as soon as I got there because I was craving the flavors. My son got a basic burger. He's not much one for adventure or toppings, so although a plain burger, he was really happy with the quality of the beef and the bun. The fries were an excellent side choice. They were very yummy, as I may have snagged a few :-) I also enjoyed the $5 Friday beer special and had the Wheat pint. It was light and enjoyable. Good summer beer! I went to IU where the original Upland began, I'm happy to see them expand and do so so successfully! read more

I met some friends for dinner and a beer at the new Upland Brewery location in Castleton. The ambiance is very nice with big screen TVs all over the place and the beer menu displayed on the walls. The food was good as it always is at Upland Brewing company. I ordered the Blackened Salmon BLT with fries and it was delicious. The beer is always good, especially the sours. I had the Two for Tarts Rose with mango and passion fruit and the Juicy IPA. They were refreshing and wonderful on the pallet. However, the service at this Upland Brewing company location was disappointing. I asked for a water with my beer twice and never received it, and when I asked for a second time, the server had a condescending attitude about it. Our server was hardly ever available when we needed it, and seemed to disappear if we needed something. We had to grab another server to take our food order because our server was not available. It was a good thing I had a gift card to use for Upland Brewing company for my meal, because I would not have paid the price for the mediocre service I received at this location. Other than that, everything else was fine, but the majority of the big screen TVs did not work and had a message across the TV stating there was a technical issue with the basketball game we were watching during our meal, so that was a huge inconvenience. Looks like the manager needs to check on the cable situation for the TVs. Usually, I am a big fan of Upland Brewing company and have had a good experience at their locations, but at this particular location, it was not a good experience service wise. If the staff work on their customer service and fix their TV issue, then this location will be a great place for a meal and beer. Upland Brewing company has great beer and good food, so I would hate to have this location go down in flames due to lack of customer service. I would recommend the manager give some training on customer service to the staff at this particular location to make things better for themselves. It is just a recommendation based on my experience. Other than that, Upland Brewing company is a good place for a beer and a meal. I highly recommend the sour beers. They are fantastic. read more

Met here for brunch on Father's Day to celebrate with 9 others. It was my first time, but not my last. The food was really good. Everyone enjoyed their meals. It wasn't busy at the time, but the parking lot was full with vendors and booths for some kind of market. Our waitress was helpful with suggestions and recommendations. The smoked wings were good as was the chicken and waffle. Very flavorful. We also enjoyed the Fever winning a game while dining. read more

I'm giving this place at least 2 stars mainly because our server, Deedee, was fantastic and clearly worked incredibly hard. Unfortunately, we had to wait 20 minutes for what seemed like microwaved $12 nachos. The food overall was just average, and we left feeling unsatisfied--not because of Deedee, though. It was clear Deedee was one of the few holding things down with little support. My husband's cheese on his burger was cold. The best thing I ate were the fries which became stiff after a couple minutes. The restaurant was clean with hardly any guests. The prices were way too high for the quality of food we got. When we arrived, we were given the option of sitting in the bar or family area. We were told the family area was overwhelmed with kids, so we chose the bar. I'm guessing the restaurant was understaffed, especially for a Monday afternoon. The drinks were overpriced, so we ended up skipping them. Unfortunately this was our first time trying Upland Brewing with high expectations for the restaurants around the area. Overall, will probably never consider this place again. read more

What a great choice of a place to visit! Nice and spacious inside. Kind of plain decor, but not a big deal. I do have to say that the wall of windows on the back was nice to be able to see outside. I bet during a sunny day, it lets in lots of light. Our server was great. He explained the menu well and very friendly. The food! Oh, the food! I got the house smoked wings w/ a chili bbq sauce. I smoke my own wings a decent amount, so when I say these were awesome, they were awesome! Added in a Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich which was very quality, and some mac and cheese. Loved the mac and cheese as well. The rest of the people with had their pizzas and they raved about those as well. Go there! read more

Decided to try a different place for supper tonight that landed us at Upland Brewing. It's a very spacious bar/restaurant. At first entrance it was quite noisy. Thankfully they sat us around the far side of the bar so it was a bit quieter. The server was very friendly and made great suggestions. I tried the break away beer. It was light and refreshing. Not overly filling as some beers can be. We had the whipped feta. I'm not a fan of hot stuff and even though it had jalapeño- it wasn't hot and was very tasty! Entrees- I did the Wit Mac n cheese and added bison. It was fantastic. But a lot of food. Other entree was a Caesar. Add chicken. Both meals were good. Another restaurant worth visiting if you're in the area! Parking was fairly easy on the street or a nice size lot. read more

So glad we found Upland, we had a very memorable and enjoyable lunch and I highly recommend you stop by. The beers are great, we tried four of them just in our one lunch stop! The sours are where it's at if you like sours and the lager is nice and clean like I like them. The service was hands down what made our visit! Liz, the manager, came and checked on us shortly after our food arrived and our server Jeff was very attentive as well. Both folks were super friendly and genuinely happy that we chose Upland. The Wedge Salad is unique and delicious with a sweet buttermilk dressing and balsamic glaze that gives so much flavor! Not your typical wedge salad but with all the flavors, including pickled onions, it was a delight. The pizza needs a little attention but was good, just not great like we thought it would be being stone fired. The sauce has no flavor so it's all on the meats to bring it to the top and they just couldn't do it! I highly recommend trying something else, the burgers looked amazing, until the sauce is perfected! We will forever remember the amazing service and hold all others to their standards! read more

We had not one, but two awesome experiences coming here with family. I made a reservation for a large group when we had family in from out of town and it was so great that we made another reservation for the next week for my nephew's graduation. They were incredibly accommodating and so nice! We had almost 20 people with several who have special dietary restrictions, and the entire staff was so great about it. Everyone enjoyed their food and drinks and we left happy both times! Special shoutout to Sheila for being our server both times, and especially for being so sweet to my little niece when she got bored. We will absolutely be back! read more

It's the consistency for me! I always try to give places I know I'll frequent due to them being close to work and Upland passes the "still 5 star" experience check!

After MacKenzie River vacated this spot at the end of a long strip center at 82nd and Allisonville Road, I eagerly anticipated its next tenant and was pleased when I saw the familiar Upland Brewing banner laying claim to this spot. This latest location of Upland opened quietly this past week and I decided to make a visit during this long holiday weekend. It's obvious that work continues for Upland as it appears they are continuing to overhaul this space and to make some additions to the exterior. That said, the interior has been given a rather gentle yet meaningful renovation with more open spaces and a more casual ambience. Upland Brewing is an Indiana-based brewery founded in 1998 with three current brewery locations and six brewpubs including this latest spot. There's a couple of accessible parking spots out front along with a concrete ramp, though one of the spots is at least partly impacted by ongoing renovations. There's a double entryway with both doors being a combo of glass/wood and a wee bit heavy. As you enter, you arrive at a hosting station. To the left is an adults-only bar area. To the right and straight forward are family friendly areas and upon my arrival multiple families were present. In terms of additional accessibility issues, there's an area at the back that has a step up into it, though there are plenty of accessible tables. I did notice that the bar area has mostly taller tables, though there are shorter options. The same is true for outdoor dining with a combination of taller tables and more traditional tables. I was seated at a 4-top. My server, Victoria, was friendly and help but not overwhelming. I'd say the same was true for pretty much everyone I met. There was a friendliness, but it felt genuine rather than overkill. I like breweries, though I don't drink a lot. Fortunately, Upland has a variety of options in terms of soft drinks and my usual iced tea. The menu is somewhat consistent with other Upland locations and includes appetizers, a handful of pizza options, sandwiches, burgers, salads, a handful of dessert options, and some other items. I opted for a Classic Burger, though I skipped cheese. I ordered brewery fries as my side (along the line of steak fries). The meal came in at $14.50 plus drink. My entire bill including tip came in at just over $22 (I tipped 20%. Quit trying to do the math. Geez.). I did get my always desired iced tea refill. There are a handful of televisions hanging on walls along with overhead music. It's a wee bit loud, but not intrusive. I'm not quite sure what I'd call Upland in terms of design. It leans toward a casual, natural environment and is a combination of tables and wooden booths. I did worry a little bit about exiting as the aisles are a bit narrow, though I was able to do so without too much difficulty. My gut feeling is that Upland will do well in this spot. While on the surface it may seem like it's similar to MacKenzie River, there really are quite a few differences. Plus, Upland is local and has a strong local fan base. All the usual Upland beers are here. I was tempted by a delight called Polar Bear Kisses, which may be the closest I come to getting in the holiday spirit. Truthfully, I could probably go 4-star. The burger, made from angus beef from Jasper, Indiana's Fischer Farms, was incredible but it did fall apart a bit (a personal pet peeve). Plus, I do have a little bit in the way of accessibility concerns, however, all of this is relatively minor and the top-notch service and genuinely tasty meal all lead me to give the benefit of the doubt in their first week open and stick with the 5-star. Will I be back? Absolutely. As an FYI, they also do payments by the Toast app and they do also have a rewards club. Also, I'll note that they do have QR codes on the tables for the food and drink menus. However, they do also have print menus. read more

Had a great birthday celebration! There were 7 in our party, a rather noisy group - we felt welcomed. Waitress Caroline was patient, funny and attentive. Food was prompt and delicious. I had the breaded tenderloin, juicy and flavorful. Others had the beer-cheese burger, all plates were cleaned. Appetizers selected were the nachos and smoked wings-nothing was left! Drinks were excellent! Will definitely be back!!! read more

I found a new date night staple! I'm absolutely obsessed!!! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was welcoming and inviting. I ordered the salmon BLT, and it was nothing short of perfect. The salmon was cooked perfectly, the bacon was crispy, and the flavors were balanced, and I was impressed by how well it reheated for my lunch the next day. I'm honestly hesitant to order anything else when I come back because it was so good. My boyfriend opted for the fish and chips, and he couldn't stop raving about them. The fish was not greasy, and the fries seemed to be double baked - very crispy, and also not greasy! To complement our meals, we tried the Champagne Velvet beer, which was light and refreshing, making it the ideal accompaniment to our dishes. Our server was incredibly attentive and accommodating, ensuring that our experience was nothing short of exceptional. Located in a great area, this is the perfect spot for lunch or dinner, especially after a day of shopping at Clay Terrace!! Without a doubt, this is the best Upland Brewery location I've visited so far. I highly recommend it to anyone in search of great food, good vibes, and impeccable service. read more

Haven't been to an Upland restaurant since my Btown years and now I'm wondering why. Stopped by on a weekday for lunch and the experience was very satisfying. There was one other diner at the time and after my experience i was surprised it wasn't packed. Service was good, food was delicious and prompt. Never had Kentucky black bbq before but it was awesome! Took me awhile to figure out all the flavor profiles packed in that little cup. The menu had many appealing options and i struggled to pick just one. Came home and told my husband i had to bring him here. read more

This is our second time here and eating on the outside covered deck is so crazy nice in good weather! This is in a busy area in a busy shopping center but the deck, built at the end of this line of buildings, is full of trees and grass and so pleasant. Now the food, since that's the whole point, right? First of all, we love their Bad Elmer's Porter. It isn't too heavy or sweet, just a lovely dark beer. I ordered the Turkey Guac sandwich, served on french roll, lovely slices of turkey, tomato, red onion, bacon (undercooked for my taste), lettuce and cheese with guacamole on one side and a slightly spicy toasted Islands spread on the other. I had the blue cheese cole slaw as a side and found it a little too heavy with blue cheese for me. All in all, a lovely sandwich and cole slaw. I just had to pick a few things off of both to make it perfect for me. RRR ordered the bratwurst with french fries. First of all, their fries are amazing. So crunchy!! RRR said the brat was ok but he wouldn't come here just for that, and the chow chow that came with it was just a bit sweet for him. No complaints just didn't knock it out of the park. We have had the same young man waiting on us both times we have come for lunch and he does a great job! read more

Starting, of course, with a selection of porter from the full range beer list makes me happy. The traditional Indiana breaded tenderloin was good but nowhere near top level.
