Jake SmithMay 5, 2013I know this is a cocktail bar, but they have a great selection of draft brews (some from local Indiana breweries). Whatever your order, chat with the bartenders, who are all incredibly friendly.
Downtown IndyJuly 17, 2014Devotees of the elegant vibe sip frothy, well-shaken Nouveau Carres and Seelbach cocktails in the slender shotgun bar of an elegant brick building from the 1820s.
Jocelyn OppenhuisAugust 23, 2014Colin was an amazing bartender. Knows his stuff. Best Old Fashioned I've ever had! This punch for two was also fresh and delicious!
Charles GuerreroSeptember 21, 2014The cocktails are brilliant, and creative. The food is elevated bar food. Get the bone marrow, the bacon flight, and the deviled eggs. They are relevatory.
Jeff HazelrigsAugust 1, 2013Hand crafted cocktails - not something you see a lot. This place definitely gets it right. The BLT is also excellent if you're hungry. Lots on thought into everything - even the decor.
Kayla JohnsonApril 20, 2015Last year, when it was located downtown, I loved this bar! Once it moved to Mass Ave it destroyed it. I don't know why they decided to turn into every other douchey bar.
DevonApril 9, 2013I want to steal this bar and bring it home to DC. the deviled eggs are outstanding. Their Red Hook is the best I've ever had.
For your dining pleasure: try the Duck meatballs, Stilton Cheesecake, Deviled Eggs, one-eyed jack, lamb's neck rilettes. well...really anything on menu I'm sure.
The most knowledgeable bartenders I ever met, and friendly. The Sazerac is wonderful, but also give the Gun in a Glovebox a try.
Stephanie BrieloffJanuary 12, 2015Really unique and delicious cocktails! The staff was very friendly as well
@JaumePrimeroApril 18, 2014Blown away to find kick ass drinks in Indy. Definitely check this bar out if you are downtown.
Alyssia OshodiNovember 10, 2011New menu item: Confit of Chicken Thigh was absolutely amazing! You definitely want to try that dish!
Chip MaxwellApril 23, 2012Talk to the bartender about some of their specialty aged liquors. Blended or straight, they are amazing.
The Silver Gin Fizz looks like some sort of space drink. Tastes out of this world too.
Buffalo niger.....but it's seasonal....a must try !!
Ryan AmiraultNovember 9, 2013Decent food and cocktails, but they are trying way too hard to be a hip restaurant/bar in downtown Indy. Also, staff needs to lay off on the awkwardness.

Ask for Michael. Best Bartender and knows his stuff!
Melissa MattinglyMay 12, 2010$4.99 sandwiches with great meat, cheese & bread selection. Try the brioche bread!
25 Housemade Bitters, Infusions, Cordials, and Tinctures. Stay Hydrated.
Carlos EscobarJanuary 31, 2013It took 35 mins to get my appetizer!!! Don't come if you plan on doing anything else at all after dinner
- Way Worn Road. Sounds like a folk song, sips like a dream.
15 minute wait for drinks? And it's not even busy. No thanks. We're leaving.
