    Our family came to Indy for a get together. The ufc fight was on. Three of us paid the cover fee to watch the fight. They wouldn’t let my fourth brother in because of a dress code. He was wearing joggers and was dressed better than most people there. We couldn’t stay and when we asked for our cover back they wouldn’t give it back. We literally came in gave them money then had to leave. Be careful with this business! Horrible that we lost $30 for nothing!! What a joke! Find a different bar that cares about customers!

    Amazing first experience thanks to Indy Burger Week. Absolutely love the atmosphere and the food was great. I tried the Wisconsin Cheese curd burger and the spicy garlic boneless wings. All amazing can’t wait to bring a group of friends back to hangout and try more amazing food!

    Went to Brothers Bar & Grill our first night in Indy. The atmosphere is pretty awesome, tons of TV for you to watch any event you wanted to. I can see this being a great spot on game day as it's only a couple blocks away from Lucas Oil Stadium. The food was really good. I had the Gator Balls for an appetizer which somehow tasted like chicken. LOL....I also had the Gorgonzola Salad, and my daughter had the quesadilla's. Some friends had the Buffalo Cauliflower and said it was awesome. Definitely check this place out. The one down side was that is goes to a 21 & Up bar/club at 9pm so if you have a family with kids you won't be allowed in.

    Great little bar with tons to keep you busy and an ample on tap selection of brews. Nothing too special with the food but the atmosphere was great and sporty. This place has room for a lot of people. There a lot of games to play and TVs to watch just about anything

    Best cheese curds I’ve had and the specials are nice. When I was there, Carly (not sure on spelling since I didn’t take a receipt) was taking orders, running bar, bantering and checking on customers and doing an incredible job all around. Will definitely be back when I pass through Indy again!

    It took quite a while for a server to take notice of us initially. After placing our drink order, our server never returned 🙃...After speaking with bar manager, our drinks were immediately served and the appetizers were awesome! Overall, a good experience...

    Huge selection of appetizers. Everything was good, except I didn't care for the fish n chips. The breading was so thick, and that's all I could taste. The chicken nachos were really good. I would go back to try a burger. They were lacking servers, but out server did a really good job.

    The five cheese Mac and Cheese was absolutely delicious but my friend found several hairs in his wrap. Recommend the mac and cheese though. The server, Kayla, was quite rude and disrespectful when it came to replacing the food that was contaminated. When it came time for our change to be brought back to the table, she kept the coin change and only gave us bills back. I do not recommend this place because of the service.

    I was here on Thursday night for $6 LIT's and I got them fast, they were cheap, and I liked them. It got packed fast and I loved the atmosphere. I'd go back next time I'm in the area.

    Ordered take-out for lunch and was not disappointed! The cheese curd burger is amazing and completwly unhealthy, so I highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Elizabeth G. 6 months ago on Google
    We went mid-day for a late lunch/early dinner and so it wasn't too busy which was nice. The service was good, the food was great and we went on a Wednesday which seems like one of the best drinking days since they have a bunch of specials that day...we got pitchers for $6! Definitely walked by a few times where it seemed busy but would still recommend as the space was spacious and had an outside part too!

    Got a couple beers at this place. Fairly busy and lots of people.

  • 2/5 Kevin R. 10 months ago on Google
    Went on $2 burger night….everything pretty mediocre. Fries are bad. Wanted to order a beer but waitress was so in the weeds couldn’t get her. Two of us ordered sides of mayo and came offer we were finished. Watch out for gator balls…..cheese exploded out and burned my hand badly.

  • 2/5 Dymon B. 9 months ago on Google
    I was never asked how I wanted my burger, and when I asked for medium rare it came out well done. When I asked for another one she laughed it off and said "it still tastes good, try it". My medium rare burger never came out.

  • 2/5 desirea b. 10 months ago on Google
    The overall experience was ruined by the way we were treated by our server. I believe his name was Daniel or David at first he seemed to be very hospitable.but when our last guest arrived his attitude seemed to have changed we didn't receive the extra accommodations we asked for. Then when we notified the server we were going to the rr food and more than 3/4 drinks were thrown out.. when we arriving back to the table server asked if we need another round?? After drinks had been thrown out..🤦🏼‍♀️I'm sure that was obvious that we needed another round. The additional drink was already added to the bill before we even arrived to the table . Worst service ever ..and we work on the food industry and are regulars to Kilroys at least twice a month. We would have tipped better and maybe returned if we felt the service was worth the trip back. We Were just looking for new ambience but will not return.

  • 3/5 Eddie P. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ll start by saying that the food was really good and the atmosphere is cool. Outdoor seating with games and stuff are really cool. We sat at the bar and the service was lacking. Took a bit to be welcomed or asked if we needed drinks. When we were finally addressed, we were asked,”did you want something”. Which I thought was obvious since we walk in at sat at the bar. So of course drinks are filled with ice to lesson the amount of alcohol the bar uses so upon getting someone’s attention to order the second, for my wife, I asked for half the ice and in return, received less alcohol and more mix to compensate. Again, food was really good but I had to wave someone down from the congregation occurring at the corners of the bar so we could get utensils and napkins. The bar tender who I waved down ended up moving to the congregation of staff at the other end of the bar to keep from being bothered I can only assume. Later a waitress stopped by and asked if we were ok and we ended up ordering something to go. On the way out I stopped and thanked her and she herself said , I noticed no one was paying attention to you. If it’s that noticeable to an employee, can you imagine what it feels like to be the paying customer? I added a pic of the employees standing around and by the way the girl on the far left is who actually stepped up to help us.

    Very friendly and knowledgeable bar staff. A very different environment from evening to night. We went earlier in the evening, around 7 or so, and got a couple of drinks. They were quick to serve us and the drinks were delicious. Pricing is about what you'd expect. Their long island pitchers will definitely be on the forefront of my mind the next time I go out. Later at night, the music turns up and so does the crowd. It gets warm, sticky, and messy, but still a good spot to visit if you're not opposed to that kind of nightlife. The wait for a drink or some food (DELICIOUS bar food, by the way - don't pass it up!) will increase as the night goes on, but not so much so that it's unbearable. This place is getting tossed into my rotation as one of the better bars in downtown Indy.

    8 of us stopped in for a drink after the Colts/ Steelers game. Great place for get together & friendly staff. Large enough for the after game crowd & a very nice patio with fire pits & closes off so noise flow was perfect for the crowd. Food was average at best, not like some of the other locations but typically each restaurant is different in some degree. The restaurant just has a very limited appetizer menu bit out of most of the selections. Someone didn't do the orders for a Monday night downtown after a game party. Very good selection of adult beverages so that was a plus.

  • 4/5 Alex R. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a great time here. Open to family of all ages during the daytime, 21+ in the later evenings. Great place to watch sports games, eat some good food, and have some great drinks. They have free yard games (corn hole, connect four, table shuffle board) and some pay to play games (basketball, billiard table). I suggest arriving quite early for bigs games as tables are first come first serve and fill up quickly. There is an outside courtyard with a fireplace and TV's.

    I came in town for the eagles and colts game from st. Louis. I can say I've been to a lot of bars across this great nation and this one ranks among the best. From the friendly attentive staff that works as a team to handle the crowd; to the people who patron it. Cold drinks and amazing food are also guaranteed. If you're a local or in from out of town I highly recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Joshua H. 1 year ago on Google
    A group of friends of mine went on a Wednesday night so it was not very busy or loud. Able to get seated right away. Then have a QR code for drinks but do also offer printed menus too. They had 6 dollar 32oz long island special running that night and I tried the Blue Razz which was great. Long Islands not your thing? That's okay because it looked like they had 4 to 6 different drink specials everyday! The server was nice and efficient. She cleared empty dishes and cups quickly and also got another drink for a person in the party quickly as well. The food is reasonably priced for the location, type of place, and the amount you get. Got the loaded cheese fries which could have probably used maybe a little more cheese, but was delicious. Also got the half pound chicken nuggets with two of the sauces on the side target than tossed in it. The lemon pepper has some surprising zing to it while the honey Sriracha had a nice bite that didn't over stay its welcome. If you're not big on acidic flavors though, may wish to steer clear. The ranch was nothing to write home about though. The chicken itself tasted fresh and decent size. Overall, good place to gather and get food and drinks. Certainly recommend if it is not busy or the wait isn't very long. Well within walking distance of pretty much everything.

  • 2/5 Zoltan H. 1 year ago on Google
    There were 3 other tables and a few at the bar when we went, got our drinks a few minutes after being there. The staff were just standing around talking to each other while we waited over 20 minutes until the server finally came over and took our order. The beer was horrible it tasted like it was cold then warm then cold again. Then they had to replace the keg but it didn't taste like what the tap said. The plus side the bartender was killing on her own and the food was good. Btw there was about 6 staff for 3 tables and 5 people at the bar

  • 5/5 Adam B. 1 year ago on Google
    Good food, good service. Table was a bit wobbly and I wouldn't say it was spotless. Beer selection was on point and the buffalo sauce was on the sweeter and milder side with a nice vinegar punch. Burger was decent. Grilled fish taco was good - but you won't taste the fish over the topings.

  • 5/5 chamar f. 1 year ago on Google
    Cool space with outdoor and indoor seating. Really cute outdoor space with adults games and talking areas. Looking for a cute date night space...this looks fun

  • 5/5 J. Elizabeth L. 2 years ago on Google
    I wouldn't mind paying 12 dollars for a burger every day if they were all like this one, OMG! Filling and delicious. Kayla, our server was accommodating and fun. She was on top of it and we didn't have to wait for anything. Service was great.
