    Awful! We have been to 2 other Brothers locations and LOVED it. My son chose Brothers for his birthday dinner over several other options because of the food and experience we had at other locations. It was not busy when we arrived and a young lady was quick to bring us a round of waters. A few minutes later, our sever took our drink and meal order. Despite it not being busy and 3 bartenders working, we watched as our server waited for nearly 10 minutes for 2 draught beers. This was not a huge deal because we would drink them with dinner. The food however was ultimately what made us decide to never return. The only thing good about dinner was the french fries. My son and daughter both ordered their sandwiches plain - they arrived with everything on it. My husband ordered a chicken sandwich which came without the kettle chips. I ordered a french dip after having the same at another location. It was DISGUSTING. It looked like the remnants scraped from the grill when it is cleaned at the end of the night, thrown on a toasted bun.

    Had to ask an employee what it takes to get service, was not acknowledged when we entered and sat ourselves, maybe 15 people in the building when we entered and half of them were employees. They were more concerned about their phone. Food tasted like it was reheated from the night before, and freezer burnt. Will not return. Service was horrible, employees acted like we interrupted there nap, and play time.

    This place was extremely unprofessional and racist. The bartender and the manager failed to speak to us with the common curtsy expected as paying customers. I was extremely unsatisfied with the service provided. In addition, management failed to be considerate or deescalate the situation at hand. I came into town for celebratory reasons. My friend suggested we go to Brother’s Bar and Grill. It was roughly around one o’clock am and we had just entered the facility for the first time. Quite frankly, if I knew the heartache and misery we would later experience I would’ve decided to stay home. We asked for one shot. The shot estimated to $6 a piece. With there being no considerable service and the first drink of the night we didn’t consider to tip. The bartender rudely walks over to us and aggressively state “ If you guys are not going to tip we are not going to service you and walked away”. We were truly distraught seeing that this was our drink of the night and unaware of any policy that indicated we had to tip. As a curious person I kindly asked the other bartender if this was the policy here for future references. My friend and I were rudely ask to leave this facility after the bartender that served us abruptly interrupted a conversation I was having with another bartender. The bartender asked another staff member to remove us from the premises. My friend wanted to know what the “issue” was since we haven’t done anything that can be seen as or interpreted as obstruction. Once asked, he failed to identify what the issue was. We kindly asked for the manager to come over. Instead of listen to paying customers he asked us to leave the premises without knowing what the “issue” was. Once we tried to explain the issue at hand, he rudely brushed us off and grabbed an officer. As a black woman in America I feared for my life. I don’t believe asking questions should warrant being kicked out or grabbing an officer. I will never return to this facility.

    Bartenders were very hospitable. Literally walked in, made an order, and then sat down. The smokehouse burger was good. The drinks weren't strong at all. Lots of ice and juice, had 3 and couldn't tell you the difference lol. They didn't have cognac at all. I was leaving bout 9 ish and they started charging $10 for entry. The music was typical bar music. Dont know what the night music sounds like....will have to go back for that experience.

    Had a lot of fun. The drink were good. Had 3 rounds of makers mark and then ordered a long Island. It was a half a pitcher. Let's just say I was good all night. Nice size for a bar with a dance floor in the back wear you actually had women shaking it on the floor. It was awesome.

    Good bar! Good drink deals and good workers! Our server Maggie was super sweet! We loved the Jonny Bombs and Vodka Cranberries. Maggie was fun and attentive, she brought us waters and did not mind when we wanted to leave quickly. We got sat quickly despite waiting in line outside, too. Good prices for drinks and a fun time!

    Security was rude, one of the staff members was extremely rude. Drinks weren't very good either. Our long Island tasted like an Arnold Palmer with sprite. It tasted like there was absolutely zero alcohol in it at all. I ordered a beer which is pretty hard to mess up so at least the beer was good. Additionally nobody had a straight answer if food was still being served, I was told "if you're at a table maybe" I was at a table. I had a group of like 15 people all at tables. We ended up leaving and going to another bar.

    Not impressed. I got baja taco, fried cod. Came with 2. The fish did not have much flavor. One of the cods was kinda dry. The beans and rice were good. My hubby got the chicken jalapeno sandwich. It arrived without any jalapenos. My hubby asked about dark beers. Our waitress could not tell him what was available. Worse though was after receiving our food, I asked for sour cream. Hubby wanted his jalapenos. Our waitress, Thaia, waited on 2 more tables and brought out drinks for one of the parties before bringing out what we requested. You NEVER leave customers who have their food waiting while you wait on other parties so our food gets cold while we were waiting. We weren't impressed with the food or the service and with so many other restaurants right there, we would suggest you try another restaurant.

    This place is the best, they have the best food, the best drinks, and the best night life. It's a great experience and totally worth the money. Everyone there is so friendly! I got tacos and they were some of the best I've ever had. So good!

    Stopped in Friday 10/6/23 around 5…not busy at all. We just grabbed a beer & the chips and salsa. Salsa was blaaa I’m sure it was from a jar or can. Chips were tasteless. Service was surprisingly slow & inattentive since there were very few guests in the place. Large space with pool tables. Tons of TVs. Outdoor patio sits right along the street & due to on going & never ending construction in Broad Ripple it’s loud & stinks, the day we visited they were laying pavement.

    I've really enjoyed the food the last couple times I've went. Overall they have reasonable prices. It gets a little crowded and loud but that is expected for a college bar area. I haven't been later in the evenings past 9:00 fyi. Worth checking out for sure!

    Like most places in Broadripple this changes all day. It’s a fine lunch bar that’s easy-going. Dinner is about the same but as the sun goes down it becomes a pretty good party spot. By 10 or 11 at night there’s a lengthy line as a late night bar. Food is always been good. Drinks have always been good. Nice to have this in Broadripple. I prefer over Kilroy‘s!
