“Visited GoldLeaf for the first time last week and everything from the friendly service, to the local artwork + plants, and lastly quality coffee.. it was such a great way to start the day! I always love places that inspire creativity and this one did just that! There were a few parking spots in the back and street parking. I look forward to coming back again and hopefully trying the food!“

“I found Wiseguy lounge in 2019 and have been coming here non stop since then. This speakeasy tucked in the back of Goodfellas pizzeria is a great place to just hang back and enjoy a drink. The bartenders dress nicely and whole place is set to look like prohibition era. I can recommend so many drinks from there but my favorites are dirty smash, Marilyn Monroe and the espresso martini“

Rhino Bar Cocktail Bar • $$
5615 N Illinois St, Indianapolis

“We went here on New Years Eve at 6 pm. I was wanting pasta but after I ordered I was told they were out of pasta. My son changed his order to a meatball sub, but it wasn't very good. The cheeses wasn't melted and he said it didn't taste good. I ended up with a small pepperoni pizza which was actually really good. The bruschetta was good too. The salad was meh. There was one young lady serving everyone. She was quite efficient and very nice.“

“I love White Horse. The chef is amazing when they have food. 90% of the time I come for food and bring my friends along. I love bragging to my friends about how good their wings are and that’s because of the chef, Jordan. She is so amazing and recognizes us. I love her cooking so much!! If the kitchen is closed, I will most likely leave after a shot.“

Turner's Bar Bar • $$
1060 N Capitol Ave, Indianapolis

“Another Sahm gem. Turner's gives you all the Friends vibes, where everyone knows your name. It's a great spot for an affordable drink. They don't have local spirits which is a bummer but they do have local beer and cider. They have $1 hotdogs for my carnivore friends and cheap chips that aren't healthy for you at all but will cure your evening munchies. The cocktails are superior though and if only they had some local whiskey for them they'd make my top 5 old-fashioned list. But they do have good ice cubes and good bourbon cherries. Plus if you get here before 8 you can order from Julietta's taco shop next door. They often have live music or trivia, there's pool and other card games to play. It is a bit chilly in here during the winter with little soft surfaces so bring a cozy sweater. Summer is wonderful as the garage doors open wide.“

Beautiful (and ample!!!) outdoor seating options along the canal with plenty of shaded tables (and indoor seating too). Such cheerful and helpful team working --seems like they enjoy working there almost as much as we enjoyed eating there. And s'mores at the table Kid-friendliness: Tasty, good quality kid choices and outdoor seating for the kid win. Bonus of s'mores if they eat their whole sandwich ?“

“Second time being here. First time was fantastic, we just had starters and drinks. This time we ordered food. An Asian Sweet and Spicy chicken over rice and broccoli, as well as the Bourbon burger. The chicken was amazing, which was nice, because my burger was under seasoned and under cooked. I didn't scoff at that much, because it happens. Overall, I would still return to try out other options that sounded good but didn't choose. They have steel tip darts, shuffle board, plenty of tvs, and great music. Not to mention a great assortment of drinks. They do welcome kids, and they have a kids menu if you're needing that.“

Tacos Al Pastor

“Very authentic Mexican restaurant. Look at all the menu items that are not offered at the Americanized Mexican restaurants. Last time I was here, I ordered the Chilaquiles, and I was offered the choice between the green sauce, red sauce or the Mole sauce. I chose the Mole and it was delicious. Today, I ordered the Menudo and it was the best I have had in a long time. The broth was rich and flavorful. I need to go back and try the Chicharron En Salsa Verde. Again, something you don't see on other restaurant menus.“
