Came here for a drink during a snowstorm and felt like I was back in time (or in a small town!). Can't wait to come back for a cheeseburger.

Mind your P's and Q's in this funky historic tavern. The patrons are a great mix of neighborhood folks, musicians, artists, writers and hipsters. Legendary cheeseburgers and potato salad. CASH ONLY!

A quintessential stop for Hoosier hospitality. Hum the musical notes located on the Key's neon sign hanging out front😎

Toy airplanes hanging from the ceiling, an old-school juke box and Bell's seasonal brews. What's not to love? (aside from the whole no credit card thing).

Great atmosphere! Full of history and definitely worth a visit.

The best place to have a proper drink with a lady friend. Respect and values highly encouraged.

We love this spot! Try the Sidecar or a Tom Collins for the full experience...the burgers are great. When you get home, sign up for www.indyspectator.com.

Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. Order a highball. Take off your hat. Don't put your feet up. And don't piss off the owner, Russ. His place. His rules. Read more

The chili is great with a cold beer

They've always been generous with the pours which is great and the prices are low. Plus pbr!
