[ChileColts]

Hi Freaks, im excited to shared with you that im going to indy for holidays, i'll be in colts (titans and Dophins) games and pacers (Hawks and Spurs) games and i would appreciate if you can give me some recommendations of places to eat, drink, bars with live music and/or any place that you think is worth knowing.

I have been a reader in this forum for a lot of time (because my english writing wasn't good and Omaha annoyed me for that in every single thread that i posted) and i want feel the experience of a Colt fan in Indy.

Any suggestions, comments, would be appreciated, thanks in advance just for reading me and I hope to represent in a great way all the colts freaks of South America.

You are doing fine man. Have a great time in Indy! I don't live there (was born there though) so I cannot help you with that.

If you have cash to burn, St Elmo's Steakhouse is the best place in town, IMO, but you will drop a ton of cash on it.

Rock Bottom Brewery is a great medium priced meal with a wide selection of good brews.

Acauplco Joe's has great Mexican food.

Le Peep's is a great breakfast place. So is First Watch on N Illinois.

Claddagh Irish Pub also has great food and a great selection of drinks.

If you want to laugh, you could try Fogo de Chao which brands itself as a Brazillian Steakhouse and tell us all the ways that it is wrong!

The Old Spaghetti Factory has some pretty solid Italian for a good price. So is Bucca di Beppo but that is all "family style" dining and the portions (and price) are big.


Don't know if you are coming with kids but the Children's Museum is world-class.

The Indianapolis 500 Motor Speedway Museum is also a must see on your first trip to Indy.

Christmas lights at the Indianapolis Zoo is pretty nice the first time you see them. The 20th time? Not so much.

If you want to drive 2 hours to the east, I could show you around the Air Force Museum in Dayton, OH at Wright Patterson Air Force Base if you are interested in airpower.

I don't know if they are doing a Christmas show at Conner Prarie living history museum but if so, that would be a great look at some history of North America.


Walk Worthy,

It's terrific air museum. They have an original Wright (Bros) flyer to a space shuttel and an Apollo space capsule.

Here's the thing, it's on the Wright Pattersen air base. So they have military security and they have rules.

Please note that for security reasons, all bags are subject to search, and weapons are not permitted within the museum. In addition, all adults may be asked to show their picture identification card upon entering the museum.

I would recommend going through the web site and check out the info there. By the way, you can spend a full day there. I go there often because the grandsons live 30 minutes away. It's A LOT of walking, and they have added more planes.

Oh and for anyone else, they have the Memphis Belle on display.

Wright pat is a fantastic museum... your posts about it brought back some memories of visiting there when I was a kid

Walk Worthy,

I was there last year for my sisters wedding. My wife and I went to a cool little bar called “Nada”, pretty good tacos. Oceanaire has some good seafood. If you feel like dancing, Reveal nightclub can be fun if it is busy. Yardhouse is next to Nada and has upscale bar food and lots of beers on tap. And if you would like some sushi you can try Mikado.

All these are downtown. There is a good tenderloin sandwich place which is kind of iconic for Indiana. Forgot where it is though.

The Workingman's Friend.

The Red Key Tavern is a great dive bar to check out. It was in the movie Going All the Way. North of downtown towards Broad Ripple on College Avenue I believe.
