Chatham Tap Mass. Ave.

So we're in town for the Royal Rumble and honestly didn't have much planned outside of that. We had heard that Indianapolis was a quiet town with not much exciting stuff to do so we hadn't put too much time aside to explore. We had just come from Chicago and experienced all kinds of delicious staples in the area and were expecting Indy to be a considerable step down in terms of food.Boy were we wrong. The one and only place I had saved in town was Chatham Tap after a quick Google search about famous local foods. I don't think I had ever eaten a pork tenderloin, and if I had it definitely wasn't as a sandwich. The menu looked absolutely stacked with delicious creations after creation but one immediately stood out - the WAR PIG.A name can only get you so far, though. Could this well named menu item live up to its hype? A look at the ingredients would suggest yes but how would the execution follow through? This might be the greatest sandwich ever created. Perfectly fried pork tenderloin that was soft to the bite, a runny yolk dripping onto the layer of chips, thick and crispy bacon, THREE different kinds of cheese and a jalapeño hollandaise that I think I could drink with a straw.I didn't think my weekend could get any better than it already was but I can confidently say that this culinary experience was the highlight of my trip. Not the food in the other city, not even the great wrestling event I was actually there for... THIS was the gem of the weekend.Bravo, Chatham Tap and Indianapolis.. Bravo.

Chatham tap is a cozy sports bar on Mass Ave that serves some fantastic food. The restaurant is seat yourself and sometimes space can be limited, but the service is great and the wings are amazing. The wings are incredibly crispy and massive. Definitely up there for some of the best wings in Indy. The nachos were ok, but tasted almost burnt and didn't have enough cheese. Best wing flavors:- House sauce: Absolute must try. Tastes almost like a tangy teriyaki sauce but even better. Can't go wrong with getting just an order of these- Hot Buffalo: classic buffalo. Can't go wrong- Chipotle apricot: definitely spicy but not as much flavor as I was expecting- Mango habanero: the sauce was a little too sweet, but another classic sauce. Overall must visit if you are a fan of wings with their signature sauce and incredibly crunchy wings. Other flavors and appetizers can be a hit or miss, but will be back just for the signature sauce wings.

If you know me, you know I love wings & they did not disappoint. I've always heard about Chatham Tap & wanted to check it out so my friend ordered us some wings to go since we were having movie night. He was just bragging that him & his friends had some so it was only right haha. We had the lemon pepper and signature sauce & they were so good & crisp. I'm not a big lemon pepper person but these were actually good. The lemon flavor wasn't overwhelming, which I can appreciate. The signature sauce is the right amount sweet & spicy & paired with ranch, chef's kiss. For it to be a to-go order, the wings were still hot & fresh. They were so good that I also went with my family this weekend haha. Kyle was our sever & he was really cool. They messed up our order but fixed it immediately without us asking. I honestly feel like they did more than they needed to but that's great customer service! I had a margarita, it was perfectly balanced, not too much liquor & not too sweet. It reminds you of any typical bar, similar to the show Cheers haha. There was TV's all over that were showing a boxing match & college football. For an early Saturday night, it wasn't overly crowded. We were able to be seated & greeted immediately. Our food took maybe 20-30 minutes to bring out but it was all delicious! We had mozzarella sticks, potato skins, fries (btw, I love French fries & these were elite!) & wings. I say all of this to say, I see why they say it's some of the best wings in Indy. I'll be back again!

Chatham Tap Mass Ave never misses! I have never been disappointed and I have been there countless times. The Prince Dean wings are arguably the best wings in the city. However, the garlic ranch and chicken tenders (with the signature sauce) may be the best kept secrets. Getting the spinach artichoke dip is a MUST and it comes with the crispy pita chips. I also really love their salads! You just can't go wrong. It's a unique soccer bar and a pretty quaint atmosphere. The customer service is efficient and consistent.

Much more than an soccer bar. Food, service, and atmosphere are all on point.Chatham Tap is great for watching morning Premier League soccer matches with fellow Indy soccer fans. They have a great breakfast menu which enhances the game watching experience. I had a breakfast burrito on my last visit. That plus a coffee hit the spot. This bar has an old, dark wood, warm, vintage vibe to it.I recently came by for lunch with a colleague. We both wanted to try the wings which we have heard good things about. The Prince Dean's Angel Wings with the signature sauce were very tasty with a good crunch to the exterior of the wing. We arrived right after they opened and as it became busier, the solo bartender/server did a great job at remaining attentive to each customer.Excited to try more lunch and dinner options on my next visit. Or more breakfast options when I come to watch another Arsenal game. Up the Gunners.

My husband and I grabbed a late dinner here with my sister and brother-in-law on a weeknight and it was a lot more enjoyable than the other times we've stopped in on the weekend (much quieter, usually it's too loud to really hear other people at your table talking). Our server was nice and our food and drinks came out fast. 3 of us ordered wings and my sister ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich. We also ordered a round of mystery shots and their fried pickles for an appetizer. Everything was fresh and tasty and I really enjoyed the weeknight ambiance over the chaotic weekend one.

Came for lunch on a Sunday and they are seriously a British Soccer Pub. The place was packed as I'm sure it usually is on soccer days. Problem was that there was one server for the whole place - based on other reviews this is common. However, it took a long time to place order and then we didnt get the wings because they were given to another table who came in after us. It really was a shit show - unless you are really into soccer - I'd go around the corner to somewhere else

Top drawer 21+ British mood, excellent menu showcasing a blended variety, and draft selection giving us original colony all the fun without throwing tea into a harbor. My buddy and I both did a sandwich, chicken, and Reuben. My Reuben was small and dry but paired fantastic with a Speckled Hen beer. A drink bitter forward smooth sipping alongside rather jerky textured beef, splash of sauerkraut, dressing on the iconic rye, and the British mad football voiceover in the background made for one unique dinner ideal for seeking out something special on Mass Ave. There's good seating, outdoor patio right next to the running path, and so much to try on the menu! Service was solid, bathrooms small but clean, and parking the usual annoyingly extra time to pay during the week rounded out the downtown stop. Can easily recommend Chatham as a definitive overseas eats along with my favorite Indianapolis spot right up the street: Bodhi.

I never thought to order pizza here but it's fire!! My favorite chicken sandwich spot overall but the pizza is really good! Service was great too. Our waiter Kyle was awesome!

This is our fav pub in town. My husband calls it his happy place. THE best place in the city to watch a soccer (football) match if you like sharing the energy with a group of fans. With Andrew or Cory behind the bar and Evanne or Jasmine waiting tables you're sure to have great service too. If you go for an early match, my fav is the breakfast sandwich. They're known for great wings and chicken tenders. I cannot say enough good things about their fried chicken salad though! Generous portion, lots of fresh ingredients like cucumber and grape tomatoes. It's SO good. You know it's good when the three of us today all ordered it!
