Barringer's Tavern

Barringer's is living history for Indy. Their menu provides the storied history of this quintessentially midwestern bar, dating back to 1879! My trivia group comes here on Mondays, which probably draws a decent crowd. Still, we always get quick and friendly service from Bridge and always a great dinner. Entrees are typically under $10 which is a rarity these days. You get your standard bar food here, and they have a pretty decent bacon-wrapped chili cheese dog. Holy. Soul. Food. They have their own parking on the north side of the building. I've been here pretty regularly as of late, and I plan on keeping it that way! Hopefully I'll even be able to eat my way through the menu!

Laid back shot and a beer bar. Started with a few Tito and tonic when there was no olive brine for a dirty Tito on the rocks. Drinks were good and also had their version of nachos with chili. Chips were made in house as was the chili. The cheese was liquid type. Did like the nachos too.I'll be back. Service was personable- look for Jake

This is my favorite dive bar in Indy. The service is quick and the servers are great to banter with. The prices there are by far the most affordable in the city and the food always tastes great. Try the dessert pizza if you get the chance. Great to split with a small group.

Stopped in for a work happy hour, it's a great location, very friendly staff.They have a nice selection of drinks! Beer and cocktails. We sat at a nice big table, and enjoyed music and conversation.We also got food, the pizza was so tasty! We also had onion rings and cheese curds, both were also good.Great place on the southside! Check them out if you are in the area.

Barringer's was a great experience. It was recommended to us by our friend's older brother and we had a blast. Ate a ton of food, affordable beer pitchers, and the size of the food is massive. I ate two pizzas and ordered wings and a sandwich and I was not ready. I definitely ate the food the next day!Also, the vibe of the place is really cool. Especially that they've been open since 1870. The backroom has shuffle board, darts, and billiards. Plus TVs for March madness. Totally great time!

This was the first time we have went there and it was tremendous! The tenderloin was thick but it a great way! Super tender, juicy, and flavorful! The onion rings were crispy and delish! Can't go wrong with their homemade cheese curds that melt in your mouth. The bar itself had ab old tavern vibe and super cool inside. The band was great but very loud!!

This is what many would refer to as a dive bar. It's history is very interesting and impressive. It definitely needs some cleaning and updates. John Taffer could surely assist. We went for lunch recently. The service was just average and the food was below average. It was not busy but the food took a very long time to arrive. We didn't order anything complicated. My fries were cold. They were not good as well. The rest of the food was not very desirable. I heard their pizza was decent, but we did not order it. My burger reuben patty melt was not good as well. It was super greasy and the burger was too thick, flavorless and tough. I only ate half of it and it sat super heavy in my stomach like a rock the entire day. I didn't eat anything the rest of the day. It was messing with me the following day too. The bathrooms were not very clean and there was a rough odor which appeared to be coming from the plumbing. I tend to rate places by the shape of their bathrooms. I can't imagine what the kitchen looks like. There's no reason not to keep things clean. Many of the tables around us were not bussed and cleaned as well. The health department would definitely appreciate this being up to specs too. I won't be going back. I need satisfaction from all angles when I go to a place to dine. As much as they charge for food when going out (even dive bars and fast food), I expect quality and comfort. It's all part of the total and acceptable dining experience.

Went for poker night. I was at first worried seeing everything served in baskets, but they did not disappoint AT ALL. The service was excellent. I'm so sorry that I did not get the waitress name but she was very kind and patient .I had a choice. Tenderloin or the fish and chips . Heard everyone talking both up big. Every item on the menu is so resonably priced!!!!!! I got the fish, and it was soooooo delicious. Then someone ordered the tenderloin and they looked soooooooooooo delicious as well. It was very cleaned and kept up well being a historic building. There is nothing I can say negative about my experience. Very nice first time experience and will be back to get that tenderloin

Came here during Thanksgiving dinner, we were glad that they were open and even had Karaoke going onWe discovered this place during "take-out only during pandemic" and glad to have found this placeWe love the pizza! It was really great The service was awesome and thankful for the staff that chose to work during the holiday!

My husband is a huge tenderloin lover and he said this place has one of the best he's ever had!
