    Go here because It’s the oldest bar in the state and that’s cool. Go here because It’s got live blues musicians all the time and that’s cool. The food is bar food, the beer is cold, the service was friendly and attentive. Easy to walk to and close to the stadium and monument circle. Definitely worth checking out.

    After arriving and sitting at the bar I asked the bartender how old the Business was as I could tell it had age on the outside he told me the business is 176 years old. No longer an Inn, you have to find another place to lay your head but you can get a absolutely delicious burger and a very wide variety of beer and almost any type of liquor you desire! Cool thing about this historic business is that they have bands almost every night of the week they play rhythm and blues, soul and classic rock ‘n roll. Looking for a place to enjoy the evening with some live music, a bite to eat, some cold drinks and not break the wallet… this is it!

    Great history behind this corner bar. The oldest bar in Indiana did not disappoint. Right downtown across from the stadium. Met a local friend for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed the food, service, and ambiance. I had the shaved steak sub with the onion rings. Our waiter was the excellent and friendly. Food was perfect and quick.

    It was a party all night long. It's the best fun I've had in a long time. The bad and the drinks were awesome. We bar hopped from the front to the back, and the party continued. I'm so glad they're back.

    RODNEY!! What a legend that guy was! When we walked in to the Slippery Noodle based on a recommendation from a friend who is a colts fan, we didn’t know exactly what to expect! What we found was a server named Rodney who showed these 4 Canadian guys a great time!! Even though we weren’t there for a long time it was a good time as we grabbed some drinks and Rodney even showed us around the areas of the bar that weren’t fully open during lunch time! I tried the Slippery Noodle Stcks and they were awesome! Think giant Mozzarella Sticks with a generous portion of Marinara! Would highly recommend this place and can’t wait to come back and see a concert here someday!

    The food is fantastic and the drinks are made very well. Fun and exciting atmosphere for adults. The band that plays is very good at engaging the crowd. A must visit while in Indy! See photos

    The oldest bar in Indy and a downtown staple. Perfect bar for a Colts pregame as it’s in walking distance to Lucas Oil Stadium. This place is rich in history and has a great vibe. Bar area isn’t huge but there is a ton of seating in several different sections throughout and a small bar in the upstairs area. Food is decent and everything is reasonably priced but I would recommend going to for the bar and not necessarily the food.

    This historic site is not only famous for it's rocking blues tradition, but the architecture as well. The interior 'maze' of rooms offered cozy bars areas and a massive venue with balconies. When the Bands jams, it's impossible to not move to the enticing grooves !! The food was generous in portions and in variety. If you like the Blues, don't miss going here, it's always a good time !!

    The wings are great! Be aware they are battered, but the crunch is perfect. The house specialty nachos are excellent as well. Try the in-house IPA if you’re an IPA person!

    We went here to see the band Higher Standards. The server was less than enthused to be there, but he got the job done well, so can't complain lol. Our food was all good. I will say--- the "buffalo" shrimp... is not buffalo. Don't order it. You'll be disappointed to received kids meal quality popcorn shrimp. The Bosco sticks were good, as was our food. I got the Mahi sandwich. My husband got a burger. Atmosphere-- the stage is elevated and the room was great Would definitely go back!

    This place is great. At first glance the appeared to be one small pub within the first room, but once we walk past the first room the building opened up to a labrynth of additional rooms and bar areas. Stage inside for live music. Loved the building, loved the food, loved the drinks. The staff was extremely busy but kept up with the flow well. Chicken Quesadilla was a great choice!

    Got there late after walking from a show at Lucas Oil stadium. Kitchen was closing. Just bar food at that point but it was decent. Nachos were just ok. Club was good. Had something called "fried noodles " on the menu and was a bit disappointed when it was just fried cheese sticks. They were good though. Live blues band was in the back room for a cover charge but we sat up at the front bar. Staff was friendly.

    An absolutely solid place to eat, had good music, good beer and decent food. The wait staff was kind, the building was old but extremely clean. Would recommend.

  • 4/5 Yinzú N. 1 year ago on Google
    So a nice place, great vibe! Different spaces to drink, eat, and with two separate room for live music. The location is great, service is good. The food was ok, arrived cold to the table. 10$ cover (Saturday)

    This place is a locals spot filled with amazing history and equally amazing people. The food offerings are really good and pair well with the beers on tap! They also have various spirits on hand. The spirits on hand are both of an alcoholic nature, and that of a supernatural variety. If you happen to visit at a non-busy hour, some of the staff are knowledgeable on the history about the structure and hauntings within! If you ask nicely and politely, perhaps they may give you a brief tour. Of course, if it's busy, probably not a good time to inquire. If you discover yourself in the area, and want the company of good people, good food, a good neighborhood vibe, good spirits and great history, this is the spot! Or perhaps your significant other is working remotely from their room, and you find yourself wondering the area, this is definitely the spot! Either way, stop in, have a beverage along with a meal and enjoy!!!

    Very cool place. Oldest bar in Indiana. Need to go because the atmosphere is awesome too

  • 4/5 Mark A. 1 year ago on Google
    Unfortunately I visited this place during lunchtime so it was pretty empty. I really like the vibe here but the food was just average. I'll still give it another try though and see what else they have that might be interesting. The prices were decent and the staff was excellent.

    Went with a friend of mine from the area. I haven't been here in years and had an instant flashback walking in the door! Eclectic place with a cross-section of locals/tourists enjoying themselves. Solid beer selection along with reasonably priced, quality bar food. Parking can get really tight but I was staying four blocks away, so walked over.

    Excellent service, great fun. Many parts if the bar, so if you want live music, you can have it, sit at a quiet bar, check. And White Castle next door! Food and appetizers very good as well.

    Scott was amazing. I was spending time there on a layover and he took good care of me. The food is good and I wish I could have watched one of the live bands

  • 4/5 Mr. S (Honest R. 7 months ago on Google
    I went here for lunch and ordered the French Onion soup and the Vegas Burger, which was so delicious. Then, I went back later that night with some friends, and there is a cover charge because they had a band, the cover charge to eat in there for dinner. It's great food, but I wouldn't go back when there is a band in there for that cover charge. We just wanted to eat dinner. So, I would stop by again for lunch but not for dinner. The Vegas Burger is very delicious.

    I've been meaning to visit the Slippery Noodle since I started working in Indianapolis and today was finally the day! I was not disappointed. Even though I ate by myself at 5 pm and the bar was far from full there is a vibe about this place. I had the breaded tenderloin (i miss those not living in Indiana these days) and it was awesome! I think I'll be back soon.

    Great building and awesome location. Game day food is the same quality as stadium food at higher prices. Great place to drink but eat somewhere else…. Service is a 2 out of 5 maybe even a little worse.

  • 2/5 Danielle Pace K. 8 months ago on Google
    Had high hopes... the wings dashed those. They were definitely big, but that was only because of the significant amount of fat on them. Some wings were about 75% fat. Not worth the price. The sauces were decent at least. Service was ok.
