Alley Cat Lounge

Bar Bar and grill Lounge

👍👍 Perfect 3 star establishment (think of your favorite B-Movie). You know what I mean when I say that. Drinks are perfectly priced, selection is wide ranging. Any time I'm back in town I'm getting drinks at Alley Cat and bringing people with. People often mention great, good, time, atmosphere, bartender, drinks, service,

    Delicious food, attentive wait staff, and a lovely atmosphere. Plus, it's all reasonably priced. I wholeheartedly recommend it and will definitely return.

    This place is one of the best bars I've been to. They have steak on Thursday nights (some of the best I've had, but they do cook a little more than you request, so make sure you go for medium, or rare. Atmosphere is great, and all the interactions I've had with the crew there have been stellar

    This is usually the first or second place I think of when the rare desire to leave my house for a drink arises. The atmosphere is super chill and laid back, kind of divey. I've never really seen things get wild there- so it's a great place to kick back and relax with a beer or cocktail. I've only had the food a couple of times, but I remember thinking their wings were pretty tasty! All around a cool place to hang out.

    The only bar in Broad Ripple. Amazing hamburgers - better than that hyped place down the street. Get the Cat Burger with cheddar cheese and a runny egg. Try it on Texas toast. No drama. No dumb college students. Good drinks.

    One of my favorite places when I'm in Indy. Fun atmosphere, huge drink selection, and outstanding food. We had steaks and they were as good as it gets! Go, have a great time and enjoy!

    Absolutely loved this bar! Relaxed atmosphere, great service and very good food. We had the fish and St. Patrick's Day special of corned beef and they were both worth going back for. Loved our bar tender!

    It's expanded. The new area is not as funky, but still cool people and atmosphere and great food. And the old area is still there. PBR by the can and all.

    So we went to vogue the venue before hand and ran into the alley cat. I believe our bartender's name was John. We sat at the front bar as there were two. There is also a lot of seating available. It was late and pretty slow but as the concert ended it built a bit of a crowd. The bartender was nice enough to stay open while we ordered anything fried to eat because the kitchen at that time only did fried and drinks. They had your basic drink selection, beer on tap, shots, mixed drinks etc. They have music you can pick from the app on your phone or from the box itself. Very low key good friendly bar. I enjoyed it. Great place to stop in after the venue a block away. Great location I believe it was street parking. Would recommend for a local bar.

    Came to chill and have drinks with my female friend, and I've never been in the newer front bar. Nonetheless, the bartender was courteous and friendly and the other patrons all cheers us to our prompt concoctions! Definitely go if you're in the area.

    Have not been here for a VERY long time. Was in town visiting some spots and glad to see the Cat is still there. They have done some good stuff to the place. It's always a great time and a great place to grab and drink and meet up with friends.

  • 5/5 Amber L. 9 months ago on Google
    It's been remodeled but the food is so just as terrific, and the service is great. The new layout is really nice and spacious, and there is a ton of seating. Highly recommended!

    The Broad Ripple icon , now expanded so you can chose from the old dive bar & pool room , regular bar or upscale bar all with the same good pub food choices from the same kitchen.

    Awesome old school bar. Bartender Matthew is a mixologist Supreme. Great wings and house made Buffalo chicken egg rolls!!

  • 5/5 Matt S. 9 months ago on Google
    Always a good time. I wrote that some time ago. The vibe has changed. The pretty kitty is nice, I'm sure the bar and strip needed the change, but it's OG authenticity is what gave it lure... It still lures me in, but on a different vibe.

    Good food at good prices. Bartender James, said he was bat manager, was exceptionally rude when asked for a receipt. Told him I had not been made to "Run a tab" the last 5 times we were there. Sooooo rude. Othrr bartender Mo very nice and accommodating.

    Saw a guy come in with his service animal and after 10-20 minutes staff and the security kicked out the guy for his service animal. Very rude then banned him from coming back.

    Loved my first visit and excited to visit more often. Great bartenders, great venue, delicious food, and had a blast playing pool!

  • 1/5 Brooklyn A. 1 year ago on Google
    Worst experience I’ve ever had, the bartender with black hair and round glasses (Shar) was BEYOND rude and completely ruined our evening. The most inconsiderate woman we’ve encountered in all of broad ripple.

  • 5/5 Vania D. 1 year ago on Google
    Some of the best bar food I've had in years! Bartenders were amazing. Provided great service and excellent drinks.

    This bar is growing and to me has some of the nicest bartenders in broadripple. Easy going place. The patrons are also respectful

  • 5/5 DIANE O. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Michael D. 1 year ago on Google
    Gr8 spot with a awesome crowd and really good bartenders. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good time👍

  • 1/5 Erica I. 2 years ago on Google
    Set there for over an hour for the bartender to finally let us know they only have one cook, let’s not mentioned after that hour out food still wasn’t ready!!! But a couple of Caucasian’s come in and he let them know right away it’s about an hour wait, if you had discussed that with us at the beginning it would’ve been left up to us if we wanted to wait or leave. I normally come at night and never had this issue I’m pretty upset I bragged so much about there wings and brought a friend with me and now we have to go get food somewhere else

    Good place to relax and hand out. Friendly staff and nice service. Food is good, specially Thursday is steak night. If you like steak , you shouldn’t miss it. Forgot to take pic because it’s too good. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 the chicken wing is amazing, try the everything sauce, you will love it.
