Top 10 Patios in Indy Pt. 1
1) The Hulman - 141 E. Washington St.
Step into history and be amongst the sights and sounds of the city; The Hulman is the on site restaurant at Hotel Indy - try out the Hulman Burger and then head six floors up to their rooftop bar Cannon Ball Lounge.
2) Guggman Haus Brewing Co. - 1701 Gent Ave.
This family friendly patio spot is perfect for trying out a new local brew + the Cabin Kitchen is always whipping up delicious bar eats like chorizo nachos and some of the best pretzels and beer cheese in the city.
3) Half Liter Beer and BBQ Hall - 5301 Winthrop Ave. Ste. B
A favorite stop for bikers along the Monon trail, Half Liter has delicious bbq for anyone and everyone to enjoy. Their portion sizes are good enough to have leftovers to take home + try out their boozy slushies for a sweet summer treat.
4) Bluebeard - 653 Virginia Ave.
This spot is truly an Indy classic and their patio will have you feeling like you’ve been transported to a tucked away neighborhood bistro in Europe. Their food and drink menu changes frequently so there’s always an excuse to come back for more.
5) The Tap - 306 N. Delaware St.
If you’re looking for a spot to hang out with friends for a night out, The Tap is your spot (I actually spent two years of Wednesdays here in grad school doing trivia)! They have over forty beers on tap and their patio has a gorgeous plant wall that brings the space to life.
6) Flatwater - 832 E Westfield Blvd.
A beloved Broad Ripple favorite in the heart of the neighborhood easily accessible from the Monon and the main area of shops and businesses. Hit them up to build your own Bloody Mary Sundays to sip during patio szn.
7) La Margarita - 1043 Virginia Ave. Ste. 1
Need a post-concert meal? Looking for a spot to grab a snack and people watch before exploring First Friday? La Margarita is the perfect place in Fountain Square to sip and savor on their patio, their nachos are truly so so good.
8) Public Greens - 902 E. 64th St.
This patio is perfect for a girl’s lunch out and everything on the menu is super fresh and delicious. Major plus - all of the people watching on the Monon!
9) Rick’s Cafe Boatyard - 4050 Dandy Trail
Catch a beautiful sunset for a romantic date night at this Eagle Creek spot perfect for warm summer evenings. Their food is delicious - highly recommend making reservations especially during busy seasons.
10 ) Iozzo’s Garden of Italy - 946 S. Meridian St.
This spot feels like a secret since it’s nestled into the courtyard of the building but it will make you feel like you’re dining in Italy once you have a vodka pasta in front of you and Aperol spritz in hand.
