I beseech the mob
To lead me the way to a
Good Indy beer joint
Written by Captain Hops.
References: I have to plan a bachelor party in Indianapolis next month. I thought I would kick things off with some good beer and food before it gets crazy. Can anyone recommend a place to start. I’ve never stopped in Indianapolis before. I’ve checked the Beer Mapping project for Indianapolis but could use some additional guidance. Thanks.
Thing of the Day: Funnily enough, I met the groom in 1984, the year this gem came out: Bachelor Party (1984)

My BrewPub recommendations (the locations within each set are walkable):
Broadripple (15 min north of downtown):
- Broadripple BrewPub (english ales & environment)
- Burgge Brasserie (great food, good belgina beer)
Downtown:
- Ram
- Rock Bottom
- Alcatraz?
For beer bars downtown don’t miss:
BadaBoomz
Rathskeller
Great resources. Thanks Tom!
I second the broadripple district for beer bars and food. Broadripple Brewpub hand pulls a mean pint! And Brugge has great fries and house brewed belgian beer.
take in a game at the Indians stadium beforehand or maybe tour the speedway museum
