The Ball & Biscuit

If you want to enjoy the simple pleasures of life, then the ball & biscuit is the way to go. Based on the theme of a yesteryear bar, this no-smoking, no TV bar makes a nice setting for a relaxed evening with friends. Here talking and listening rule the roost. Order a draft or bottled beer and the crowd-favorite, Twice-baked Fingerling Potatoes and Lump Crab Cakes, for an evening of smooth drinks and scrumptious eats.

331 Massachusetts Avenue, Indianapolis, IN, United States, 46204
Slippery Noodle Inn

Known as Indiana's oldest bar, The Slippery Noodle Inn has seen its share of action. It's a hub for blues in the area, and it has been home to countless wild shows over the years. There's still live blues being played seven days a week. Being located in a great sports town, the Noodle makes itself available to sports fans as well, hosting many a celebration. Even when there's nothing going on, the place is still packed with happy diners and drinkers chowing down on the hearty menu, featuring everything from traditional bar fare to steaks and pastas, and drinking everything from martinis to micro brews.

The Rathskeller

Down under Mass Ave, there's a basement banquet hall known as Rathskeller. The building is an archaic-looking structure befitting such an establishment, and it is adorned with a wealth of old-country kitsch. The kitchen serves a filling menu of Bavarian specialties, and the bar pours stein after stein of full-bodied German lager. There's live music occasionally, and a party atmosphere always. The happy hour crowd can be found here imbibing cocktails and beer, and enjoying bar snacks. The gorgeous biergarten out back plays host to banquets and events, and is the perfect place to enjoy a beer and a sausage on a warm summer day.

The Brass Ring Lounge

The Brass Ring Lounge offers a relaxed environment to enjoy a drink with friends. They have a variety of local beers on tap, as well as an impressive selection of hard alcohol.
