Here's a polished bar review you can use or post online: Whiskey Business is hands down one of my favorite spots. The service is outstanding from the moment you walk in--friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling rushed. The staff clearly knows their menu and is always happy to offer great recommendations, whether you're in the mood for a classic pour or something new. The food is just as impressive. Everything is well-prepared, full of flavor, and clearly made with care. It's the kind of place where the food easily stands on its own, not just "good for a bar," but legitimately excellent. Between the top-tier service, fantastic food, and relaxed yet energetic atmosphere, Whiskey Business consistently delivers a great experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a place that gets everything right. read more

Great food. The burgers are delicious. Everything is always right on my to go orders. They don't make mistakes.

First off let me say I had grandkids with me so could not go inside for the full restaurant experience. I ordered online and order was ready way before the estimated time of 40 minutes. The server got the togo order for me and brought it to the door since I had the kids. I appreciate that. Now for the food, this was very limited sample so don't let it prevent you from trying the establishment. It looked fun inside and there was a patio outside for dining and hanging out. DYNAMITE CHICKEN ROLLS $12.65 Egg Rolls Stuffed With Grilled Chicken, Spicy Black Beans and Corn. Served with Southwest Ranch. These were dry and not spicy at all. There were about 3 beans and pieces of corn per half eggroll. If the ranch was inside the eggroll, I couldn't tell. Only the space I chose made it spicy at all. It came with a small pile of shredded lettuce and again several beans and pieces of corn. ISLANDER BURGER $17.25 Premium Ground Beef, Grilled Pineapple, Tropical Rum Glaze, Cheddar, Mayo on a Toasted Bun Good concept, plenty of pineapple and mayo but not much flavor. I don't know if the meat is seasoned but it sure didn't seem like it. Not much bourbon glaze or flavor there either. Cole slaw side was creamy and a good portion size. read more

Whiskey Business has only recently come back on to our radar as a quick neighborhood-ish meet up spot with friends. Service has always been hit or miss, but for cheap drinks and happy hour food specials, you cannot beat it. Things get a little jumbled up check wise if your party is large and we have just rolled with it since we were with friends, but check your bill before handing over your card. Limited veggie options that aren't fried - but it's a bar so I am not counting this as a strike against them. Check out WB for the events (live music to Slingo nights) and daily food and drink specials. They can get busy and it's loud in there - but a good time. read more

This is a fun little bar with cheap drinks and decent bar food. We've had the breaded tenderloin and it was good. We've had their burgers and they were good. We've been here several times and the service has always been top-notch. read more

Went to Whisky Business for lunch. I ordered a pizza and my wife the Fried Chicken Salad off the lunch menu. The lunch menu is offered daily and includes a selection of meal options and a soda for $10. The portions are large and it's a good deal. Our server was prompt and attentive but not extremely knowledgeable or helpful, initially. It was a Saturday and an IU game day so I asked for the mini Coors beer pitcher for $7.50. I was told that was the special on Thursdays. I pointed out there was a poster on their wall indicating it was Saturday IU game days. She said she was not told that was the special today but she'd ask. She came back and said the special was Thursdays. Again I pointed out the posted and again she said she had not been told that was the special. I did not get the mini pitcher of beer. The pizza was good ... more a traditional pizza and crust. The salad was good but it was all iceberg lettuce (and a few rib pieces). We will return. Just wish they'd more readily honor their advertising. read more

Great customer service + even better food! A nice spot to hang out and enjoy some good food and drinks.

Met a friend for dinner on St. Patrick's Day. Whiskey Business was offering a corned beef and cabbage dinner for $13. It came with ample portions of corned beef, cabbage, parsley red potatoes, and grilled and buttered Texas toast. It was, without a doubt, the best corned beef and cabbage dinner I have ever had. It was so good I ordered one to go. Their beef Manhattan dinner is the tops, but this dinner beat that. I'm going to check the next time I am there to see if it is offered for New Year's Day because I will be back and definitely bringing friends for next St. Patrick's Day! Service there is always friendly and prompt and even as busy as they were the waitstaff was very pleasant. read more

First impression wasn't the best. It was loud and super dark inside. Service was great and the food was bar food! I had the Wednesday special: 4 boneless wings for $4 in the Buffalo Garlic Parm sauce. It was delish! I also had a side salad and tater tots. Washed it all down with crispy Miller Lite. Great little sports bar! read more

I am so mad at myself for living next to WB for a decade and never going in! Live music Good food Pool tables Darts Bar This is a great place to hang out if you don't feel like venturing to Broad Ripple or Downtown. I ordered this cocktail colada that was really good! Not sure how much alcohol was in it, but I liked the sweetness and it was only $7. Then I got a side of loaded fries. They were seasoned and cheesy! And finally I ordered a cheesecake brownie. So good! I came just to talk with some girlfriends so I didn't order a full meal, but I definitely will next time! read more

I did a pickup order from this establishment and my order was ready at the exact time they said it would be. The staff were very friendly and attentive when I came inside to grab my order which consisted of The Pickle Cruncher, BLT Supreme, and Yum Yum Shrimp. Everything was hot and delicious. I especially loved how big the Pickle Cruncher sandwich was. This place is right around the corner from my house, so I will definitely frequent there more often. read more

Somewhere east of Indy is a Whiskey Business. We walk in and find ourselves standing in a room confused to as if we were to talk to someone to seat us but find out, this is a bar so seat yourselves. Oh, here is a booth. Let's sit there. Lady comes over and said let me wipe off the table. She take a sopping wet hand towel and 'cleans' our table. I think this is normal and thank her for doing such an act. I got a Long Island and hubs gets a rum and coke. Pretty good after a few sips. Order fish and chips and an island burger. Food was not the reason we came here. It was actually a surprise from my hubs as this is a date night. Well, we arrived late on a Friday because there was live music at 9:30p and didn't want to fight for a spot to sit. There were empty tables when the band started to play. Just the facts! Got a few more beers in and it made sense: this is in east no mans land Indy. Who cares what you are wearing, who cares what you do for a living, who cares: come here for no judgement and a loud time. You won't be disappointed. read more

This food is surprisingly amazing!! We had the bone in wings with buffalo garlic sauce. Wowzers!! Then we had the smash burgers with fries and beer cheese. Again, wowzers!!! The only thing questionable was the ambience. It's dark and dingy. But we would be back (before darkness) LOL read more

Oh my crunch wrap! I loved this menu item. I ordered it medium and it was cooked to perfection AND the fries were hot. I measure a restaurant's value based upon hot fries, and they have yet to disappoint! read more

Music was 85.0 decibels. Could hardly hear the person next to me. It caused me loss of hearing for 36 hours.

1st time taco tuesday and was 2 tacos $2, had beef, chicken , and shrimp tacos which all were good. Service was great and tacos got out kitchen fast. Nice establishment with pool tables, darts, and touchtunes music too. Definitely will be back to try other menu items! read more

Fantastic staff. Fantastic drinks. Fantastic environment. The vibes are always welcoming and always good. It's a great place to be a regular

It's a sports bar so I give it a solid 3 1/2 but I'm rounding up. Didn't know what to expect with a name Whiskey Business somehow I thought it was a more upscale place but it's actually a sports bar. So with that it gets a 4. They have a variety of whiskey, but no menu because they said their Whiskey rotates and they never know what they may have. They have about 15 TVs and we came during college football time so there were a variety of gaMes being shown including football and basketball. What I found interesting is the diverse crowd. Young, old, white, black, Asian, Hispanic and everyone seemed to be at home with no judgement. My kinda place. Drinks come with a nice pour and very nice bartenders. We ordered food, the boneless wings and fries. The sauce for the wings were great (hot garlic and jerk) and the fries were non-breaded which are my favorite. There are several pool tables and dart boards so there's something to do if you aren't into just sitting. They also have a touch tunes jukebox and an ATM. I imagine on Sundays this place is swamped because of all the TV's so come early! read more

Been going here for 5+ years. Five of us went yesterday. Never going back again. Food taste, texture was absolutely horrid!! 3 of us sent food back. I sent food back and did not reorder. Whiskey Business...I used to praise your place. it's now just the opposite. Be prepared for the backlash. No 2nd chances. You've made some seriously negative changes. Not worth my time to see if youve changed back to your former glory.​. GOOD LUCK. YOU ARE GOING TO NEED IT! read more

First time ever eating there and ordered online. I ask about one of meals and she yes it's in there with the gravy in the side. Get back to where I am staying and the meal isn't in the bag. Tried calling there 4 times on my way back and no one answers. They remake the meal and it takes longer than it did the first time. No sorry or anything. She hands me my food and I take it and say thank and walk out and she talks back to me about me being annoyed. I get she didn't package it but it was still recalling annoying to have to go to a place 2 times to get my food and no one can answer the phone bc the music was too loud. Heck I couldn't even answer my own phone so I had to miss a call. So check your bag and treat them like you owe them for coming to their restaurant. read more

We found this spot while on the East side and decided to give it a shot. It's a bar but had a nice ambiance. The noise SR level was low and we could comfortably talk. Our server was quick to wait on us and continued checking in throughout our stay, service was on spot. We are watching our weight and avoiding fried foods so we both ordered the chef salad, I was pleased that they were able to offer me a fat free raspberry vinaigrette. That was very tasty. We also tried some Reuben rolls, and they were very tasty as well. I will definitely go back when I'm on this side of town and try some other items. read more

Went back to Whiskey business for the second time in one week. When thinking of where to celebrate St. Pat's Day, I knew it had to be here. The vibes were great, between the basketball games and the holiday, it was a fun place to be. Service was pretty slow, but I know it was a busy holiday. I had the Turkey Avocado Wrap and my dad had the Breaded Tenderloin. Both were great and the fries were fresh and hot! We also got a great beer special (as usual) of green beer! read more

Build your own pizza. The only options available? Crust and sauce. That's it! Build your own? Yeah okay. Build your own crust. Wow! I don't even know what toppings are on it, nor was I given a chance! Is it pepperoni? Sausage? Still waiting for this surprise. Just ordered and if they see this post they might spit on my food. Who knows. read more

We visited this place late one Saturday night. When we came in, we were ID'd then found our own table. They had a live band playing so it was really loud. Be aware this is very much local bar whole in the wall vibes but I liked it. The waiter came along and got our orders. The food came out surprisingly fast! It's not shown but we ordered some mozzarella sticks as well and was fighting for the last stick. The food was so good and I can't wait to go back! read more

I came to this place by incident, and let me tell you I don't regret it. It's a nice looking bar restaurant that doesn't look at all dumpy and with fantastic service. Plus, the burger I ate was delectable! You can bet I can see myself eating there again! read more

Their burgers are all that and more! I had the ALL American, and my husband had their Hawaiian. Perfect! It was so big that I had to cut mine in half so that I could eat it (and not wear it) read more

It was not very good. I got the southwest chicken wrap. It was dry. I couldn't tell it had any sauce. I asked for two more and they charged me .75 for each without letting me know. read more

Whiskey Business - Drinks made to order - Sports Bars Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Everything was very clean for what I might call a dive bar. Absolute downside was the food runner who had so much perfume that she would have choked a strip club out. Serve food...no perfume/cologne. Everyone was friendly and the ordering and checkout process was very efficient. We were warned that the thin-and-crispy which is our choice was frozen and the toppings slid off so we chose the hand tossed pizza which was super soggy. Good sauce and topping taste. The exterior crust was crispy and tasty which is a shame it was not throughout. A bit of moisture reduction and this would be a really good pie. No reason not to return but we will be careful in what we order. read more

Absolutely terrible service, I am a regular however the past few months the change in servers is absolutely just disappointing. It's taken 42 minutes for an appetizer to come out with only 4 tables. Anymore this is just a normal anymore. Southport location is much better read more

This is the quintessential bar that serves food good enough that people come in as much for that as to get their drink on. The menu is bar bites/pub grub a'plenty. Lots of wraps and wings and burgers and other assorted things that are grilled or deep fried. I had the Mother Clucker, which was a sandwich with two substantial sized chicken breasts, deep fried and covered in buffalo wing sauce, topped by pepper jack cheese and the usual burger toppings (i had mine with no onions). Regular fries and an unsweetened iced tea on the side. The sandwich was even better than I had hoped. The chicken tasted good, not cheap. The wing sauce was smooth and spicy without setting my face on fire, and it wasn't slathetered on there, in the spirit of 'If a little bit of wing sauce is good, a whole lot of wing sauce is great', which only serves to make the sandwich extremely messy to eat. It's not optimal when you're on your lunch hour from work to come back to the office with orange wing sauce stains on your clothes. I'd love to go back and try some other bits and pieces from the menu. My one caveat about this place is that it's a bar. In addition to not allowing anyone under 21 (which is hip hip hurray for me but probably not so much for those with families), there were only two people working the front, with no hostess. The bar seating was about 2/3 full, and it definitely seemed like getting to the people at tables was a secondary priority. I got what I needed and it was fine, but don't expect anyone to be lightning quick in doling out the refills. Probably easier to go up the bar and ask for it anyway. read more

So far so good . The place is clean and even late on Sunday there are a few people here . The waiter is attentive and efficient. It's a typical neighbor bar plus one . My husband had the cheese steak and said it was good no Pennsylvania but good . I ordered the pub it was enormous.I'll post pictures . We ordered nachos for an app , which was overkill we had so much food . Everything was well cooked and even late on a Sunday night the food was freshly cooked . ONE bad note the cheese they use . On the nachos it was that lumpy yucky "cheese sauce" which is just a waste . It's so easy to just use shredded cheese I don't know why they ruin perfectly good nachos with that garbage . Ditto the club they had Kraft American singles ( a taste from my childhood I'll never forget) instead of good cheese . I took it off and the sandwich was fine . read more

I do not know what has happened to The whiskey Business off of Pendleton Pike. My sister and I used to go and meet there for our time away from everyone else and we would just talk and talk food was perfect drinks were perfect and service was perfect. We went last night... May 9th and everything was terrible. The service was absolutely terrible the food was bad the burger was not cooked the way we wanted it to be cooked the onion rings were thick with breading that wasn't fully cooked through the fries were okay and the drinks weren't made the way we wanted him to be made. I don't know that we are going there any longer. Sad .. because it was our go-to place. I guess we have to find a new place. read more
