Food Scene
Literally just around the corner. It's a soccer sports bar with an extensive fancified bar-food menu and some outdoor seating. Great for carry out! We highly recommend the breadsticks.

Amazing cocktails and delicious food. The interior is warm and wooden. It's a little on the pricey side but perfect for a nice date night.

In our opinion, the best burger ever created is served here. I cried when I ate it. It's a half beef/half lamb burger, topped with a goat cheese blend on a brioche bun. It costs $16, so it's not an everyday ordeal, but worth it. They also have an extensive cocktail menu.

Our favorite cheap, quick eat. They serve up creole on rice with a side of toast. Beers available, because nothing would make it here in Indy without serving beer.
