Dive Bars near Carmel

“I go here multiple times a month, and trust me when I say it’s not the closest to my house. It’s a tiny hole in the wall, but it reminds me of bars back home on the gulf coast. It’s tiny and comfortable, and other than the regular crowd who sit at the bar all of the time everyone else is always different every night.“

“Connor's is a cultural experience and a rite of passage for Broad Ripple Village patrons! Really cold beer, not to mention PBR on tap, and quick, refreshing drinks, the back alley location and back open air deck have seen many of luminaries come and go! (Rumor is that a young Rookie Colts Punter from West Virginia might have been over-served here before his famous Canal dive! But I wasn't there, at least That time!). Typical bar food is surprisingly good and served late, so it serves well to offset excess alcohol consumed early in the evening. Many a brain cell has been willing pruned at Connor's. Probably as authentic a BRV legacy as the Alley Cat! Definitely incredible people watching as typical nights wear out to early morning! Special call out for holiday break home trips and college visits back home!“

“Syd’s is a Noblesville icon for a reason. They generously sponsored the Parent’s Night Out event at our elementary school, offering hundreds of dollars in “Syd’s Bucks” to our parents and teachers and providing us a welcoming place to connect with each other. The staff is friendly. The food and drinks are always good. Their admin team is prompt and responsive. Most importantly, they care about the community they serve. Noblesville is lucky to be home to such an establishment.“
