👍👍 Wendy and the gang were awesome. We were in town at the convention center and stopped by after hours for a few drinks. Nice cozy atmosphere. Awesome staff and friendly locals. Made some new friends and drank way too many beers. We'll definitely be back next year! People often mention drinks, friendly,

    My husband and I look forward to our times at Bowhaus! I have to give a quick shout-out to the manager Mark, he is always so kind and attentive to us and we are always excited to be there and hang out with everyone! It's a comfy laid back atmosphere!

    We had a great experience this Saturday for our company appreciation party. Would imagine the large crowd for this evening not an every day event. Was a real nice mix of regular patrons and our group. Parking easy enough, cool outside area with tables and fire pit and service with amount of guests attentive. Understand this cool spot has been around awhile and was nice to pay a visit. The nights drink special was fun 😎

    My favorite dive bar in Indianapolis hands down. Great staff and great place to watch football with your friends, especially if you are a Colts fan.

  • 5/5 Nicole A. 1 year ago on Google
    Mark and his Dallas Cowboy Superfan bartender are two of the most genuine people. We ended up here by mistake-- best mistake we've ever made. The drinks were poured heavy, the company was delightful and we will definitely return for karaoke night. Thanks for starting off our night on the perfect note!!!

    Fantastic corner bar. Owner is friendly and accommodating. Bartenders are great. Beer and drinks are cheap. Excellent downtown watering hole near Fountain Square and Garfield Park.

    Wonderful owner, friendly bar staff, cozy environment, affordable drinks. They have Karaoke most days and a DJ on some Saturday nights. Light food specials are offered on some days and they always have chips available.

    Great neighborhood bar, with ambiance and good deals on drinks

  • 3/5 John E. 2 years ago on Google
    I'm going to go average, down the middle here. Probably a 5 for local peeps, but it wouldn't attract me to drive 30 minutes. Everyone seemed friendly.

  • 4/5 Nacole S. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is a friendly little neighborhood bar. Bates and Hendricks is revamping. I love the bartenders I think I e met everyone.. prices are awesome. Would even consider a price increase just to get the bathrooms refinished. Bathrooms are the only complaint..Dee is an awesome bartender.. I love her.. I am making this a 4 star now from a 3 star. They did redo the inside during covid shut down. It's really nice now.

    Great neighborhood bar. It's nice to sit and catch up with neighbors, friends or make new ones. Really like the new flooring, seating & expanded patio guys!

  • 5/5 Ken P. 2 years ago on Google
    This is one of those places that people call a dive bar. But go in and you'll find a bar and back bar that were there when your grandparents were learning to drink. And you'll also find new flooring, new seating, and new tables. If you want go looking for a dive. Stay because you found your new neighborhood hangout.
