Rock Bottom Indianapolis

April 4, 2008
Been here numerous times mostly to rate the beers that were new to me from my previous visit and eaten here twice.Beers have mostly been hit and miss asfaras taste goes. Food was good both times I’ve ordered food.Friendly staff, good service on all visits, knowledgeable bartenders, and have spoken to the brewer on a couple of visits. A must stop for me everytime I am in downtown Indy to see what brews are new since my last visit.

For a chain, they work hard to give this a non-chain feel. The beer is really marketed here - it’s the first thing you see in the menu. The fermentation tanks are in full view through large windows behind the bar. The brew kettle and mash tun can also be seen in a separate room near the entrance. Cool They have a handful of house brews and a few seasonals as well. I remember a Vienna Lager, Brown Ale, Red Ale, Pale Ale, basically something for everyone but nothing too over the top. We had the Saison (just OK) and the Milk Stout (wonderful). The food was above average as well - the Brown Ale Chicken and Fajitas were both good. Worth a stop for some local loving if in downtown Indy.

Rotating beer selection keeps even seasoned samplers on their toes. Great food pairings and a knowledgable staff keep this chain restaurant from feeling like, well a chain restaurant. Reasonably priced kegs are available too.

Nice place! downtown location. real good food and not too terrible in price. friendly staff. Samples available. Maybe not the best of what is available downtown, but worth a visit.

I’d recommend this place! Its in a great location, and (importantly) the beer was good, particularly the brewer’s choice brews. Not a huge selection though. Food was also very good- it tasted great and you get a lot for your money.

Easy to find downtown location with other brewpubs within a block. Street patio with tables. New clean corporate location with large bar with brewing operations behind bar and glass. Good sampler selection and server offered cask brews to try. An above average Rock Bottom and good overall location.

Nice place in downtown Indy. Beers are OK, food is OK, place is OK.

Nice ambiance inside. Huge pool room downstairs. Beers can be hit and miss. Some of the brewers choice beers are real good but the regular rotation of beers are average. Food is decent, but you wouldn’t make a special trip here for the food.

This is my favorite place to go with my drinking buddy in downtown Indy. Their tapping parties rock - good chance to shoot the breeze with other beer lovers. Head brewer loves to talk to homebrewers and loves talking beer. Atmosphere and food are great.

Nice atmosphere. Descent beers. Talk to their brewer who let me sample a couple of their experimental beers. They happened to be better than those that were being sold.
