Loved this bar. Most games, other than pinball machines, are free. The drinks are fairly priced with a great craft selection and a nice selection of cocktails. Hand sanitizer at multiple locations. Drink stands to place your drink down with you while you play games. Areas to sit and chat. Plenty of room here for larger groups.

Tons of classic arcade and video games with a whole aisle in the back dedicated to pinball. Great used of space and relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. Drink quality and price is on par is other arcade bars in the area. Great tasting craft beer.

Tappers is a good place to go for some adult fun. My husband & I went & we had a great time. Everyone was nice & the place was clean. There were plenty of games to choose from. They do have a one drink minimum, alcoholic & non-alcoholic are available. All the games, except the pinball games, are free. Parking along the street is free.

Freaking great time! Had 6 out of 7 games my Dad had in our basement when I was a kid! Good drinks and bartender. Would recommend going to take a trip down memory lane to all raised in the 80's!

Great Arcade! Lots of games, great drinks and clean facility!

I never thought I'd have a regular bar until Tappers came along! With a broad selection of video games from various generations, along with a variety of pinball machines, there's something for everyone's enjoyment. There's a nice selection of local craft beer that's sure to please all tastes, along with some cocktails & other beverage options as well. Although there isn't much of a food menu (I think just chips are offered), the staff seem lenient about outside food that's brought in, and of course, the Fountain Square neighborhood has its fair share of must eat spots. An easy recommendation!

Amazing beer selection and an owner that clearly loves pinball! Mostly newer Sterns and Jersey Jacks, but fully souped and lovingly maintained. A must-visit!

Great place for a couple of fun drinks and nostalgia gaming. 🍺 No kids. It's 21+ because it is a bar. 🍺 FYI arcade cabinet games are free, but pinball machines cost $1 🍺 Fun free games I especially like playing at Tappers: Galaga (1P, nostalgia) Castlevania (1P, tag team for morale) Gungeon (2P shooter) Frogger (1P, classic)

This is best barcade in Indy. That said, for a place called "Tappers" it had a somewhat limited selection drafts. Plenty of IPA's if thats what you like though. Great collection of pinball games.

My Happy Place! Tappers has always been great to go to and revive some arcade memories and play pinball (new and old)! I do not drink alcohol, so I do not have any insight on the drinks, but the fountain soda is a good mixture I must say. They are never pushy on making sure you order something, it is very relaxed and I've only met friendly people there.

Indy is so lucky to have this place. It’s absolutely an arcade with great drinks and passionate staff NOT a bar full of drunk bros that has arcade machines. The place is exceptionally clean and machines are well maintained. Fun trivia and other events too. Definitely check it out.

Was on a short trip to Indianapolis and this is a really cool spot to be it seems. It took me back in time as I am a child of the '80s and definitely am into the retro games. It was like a very cool nostalgic place for adults to just chill, play games, and have a drink if you so desire. I had a couple of beers while playing some really awesome games and some pinball as well. Everything is free play at least the day I went there, except for the pinball machines which you only pay a dollar a play for and it's so worth it because they have so many cool ones. I'm going to be back in the area again for business and I'm definitely going to go back to this place. I didn't get to play all the games I wanted to because I didn't get there early enough. Definitely worth a visit!

Very fun atmosphere with good beer! They have a great selection of pinball games plus all the classic games are FREE! Really hard to not have a good time at this unique arcade bar in Indy.

Best bar in Indy!! I've been going here since they opened in 2016. The arcade machines are well-maintained (and free to play), beer is always fresh, and staff are helpful and quick. Most of the people you'll find here are also interesting and friendly. There's no kitchen here, I'm sure you can guess why. They also have a huge pinball section (not free, but still cool). This is pretty much the only bar I'll go to.

Tappers is rad! I love this concept of an arcade bar. They have a good selection of drink options as well as arcade games. The last time we went we saw they had expanded into an upper level accessed by a wide ramp. Though that day they were hosting a big screen gaming event and it was packed. So the availability to play all the things we wanted to was limited, but we still had a good time. Good for them for bringing the gaming community together.

What a super cute place with awesome drinks, great games and friendly staff! We were visiting Indy and happened upon this place while we were hanging out downtown. If we were locals, we would definitely frequent this place often. I wish we had something remotely close to this in our city. Thanks for providing fun for us during our brief stay!

So, it definitely captured the 80s arcade vibe. Games were fun. Pinball machine area was a bit crowded and the $1 per game price tag is a bit steep. Video games were generally 25 or 50 cents. Bar service was slow and drink prices were steep for the setting. That’s said, it was definitely a fun night and my friends and I had a blast! *the response from the owner stating video games are free is great! Definitely offsets the drink prices.

Love this place! Such a fun place to go solo or visit with friends. Has a 1 drink minimum. Games are free with the exception of the pinball machines. Tasty drinks. A few snacks available. Not a place to grab a meal. Love that there is a spot to place your drink/ purse next to every game. Hand sanitizer located throughout the building. Bathrooms are always clean.

Have been here at least 20 times and never told I have to buy a drink..tonight I was told it's required to buy a drink. So we did. Then later I see 2 different couples and ask them if they were asked to buy drinks, both reply no and have no drink in their hand. Seems a bit ridiculous some people are required to buy drink why others are not. Not the best experience..had to change from 5 star review..
