Ale Emporium

I don't know how this place does it. What a business! I stopped by on the day of the conference championship games, just before the first one started. This place was backed to the gills! Luckily, I had already placed my order and was ordering wings to go. They have a pretty unique pickup scenario for to-go orders and that is the subject of this review. The place is giant and quite a labyrinth inside. I wandered around for a while before asking an employee where I was supposed to go. They actually have a pick-up hut that is a separate building from the actual establishment. You actually just drive up with your car to get your food! This process is rather efficient. I got wings to go to bring to my football party and they were quite a hit. Some say that these are the best wings in the Indy area.

Is there a better spot in Indy to catch a game on TV?! I'm unaware of one better than Ale Emporium. There are TVs in every direction but you can still have a conversation with friends. They're known for their wings and almost everyone at our table had them incorporated into their meal. Mine on my salad or just wings tossed with different sauces. Their food is good!Nice selection of local beers to always give you a new, unique Untappd checkin. Service was good and it's easy to find just off 465. Great place to meet up with friends!

Ale Emporium will always be one of our top favorites! Whether you're looking to hang out with friends, catch a game, or enjoy a date night, there's something for everyone. The space is massive--you don't even realize there's an entire other side! You can count on them showing every game imaginable. The Hermanaki Traditional wings are amazing and packed with flavor; they really live up to their "world-famous" claim! I also tried the new Naki Burger today, which comes with Hermanaki sauce, pepper jack cheese, and pineapple--absolutely delicious! The fried pickles are some of the best I've ever had, practically melting in your mouth. Ace Pineapple is one of my favorite ciders which isn't offered at many restaurants, but you bet they have it here! While Ale Emporium is always bustling, the service is always on point. If you haven't been, it's a must-visit! We can't wait for our next trip.

Visited Ale Emporium with coworkers recently and we were able to push some tables together to accommodate all of us. Everyone mentioned that the pizza and wings were great at this restaurant, so I requested some wings and a beer. A while later, our food was delivered. The Hermaican wings were incredible. I liked them a little more than the Hermanaki wings. They had an amazing dry rub on them and they were cooked to perfection. Perfect! Next time I'm in Indy, I'm definitely visiting this place. Service was excellent.

Ordered pizza and wings from Ale Emporium so I could chill and enjoy the Super Bowl. The Hermanaki wings were so good- not sure there are better wings in the area. I could not say the same about the deep dish Margherita Pizza. The crust was good. The cheese was on point. The only issue was there was absolutely no red sauce to complement the cheese and crust. Wings were 10 out of 10. The pizza was 6 out of 10. I ate two pieces wishing it had sauce. Not sure I will give them a second chance on the pizza unless I order a side of red sauce.

Ordered takeout on wings the other night and they were fantastic, different then your usual wings as they fry and grill them if you prefer I did get both fried and grilled and the hermanaki style - they're a tad sweet, spicy and the perfect saltiness they were cooked perfectly, crispy but still juicy and meaty in the inside. Also bonus points for big wings but they still weren't gummy or gross with how big they were I dislike HUGE wings because they don't seem to get cooked right in the inside but these were they were perfect. With us ordering pickup they gave us a time which was about 45 mins, for wings we thought okay that's a good time we go to pick them up about 10 mins before the time they gave us they said pull in a parking spot, we did - and did not receive our order for another 40 minutes so at least half an hour after the estimated time that gave so maybe take the estimated time with a grain of salt as it was incorrect. The ranch was also very good and reminded me sorta of the ccf it was thick and very flavorful if you're looking for a different wing then your clsssuc buffalo I'd give these a try :)

Hello!!! The newly renovated add on section is so pretty! It definitely is an upgrade and so many more tables available. We love the wings and we have yet to be disappointed in them. Herman style always for me. We also tried the bacon wrapped jalapenos which I didn't try but my husband said they were really good. We've always loved the vibe here.

This is a great dive/sports bar to come for sports, wings, and beer. There's an outdoor area that's large and spacious for bigger groups, though note it's likely you'll get whiffs of secondhand smoke sitting in this area from patrons taking a puff break near the entrance. Service was great and waitress was great at making suggestions and allowing us to try samples of the wing sauces. The wings are fried well and are nice and meaty - as wings should be!The bread on the panini was also excellent, though I found the flavor of the ale panini pretty tame. Burger was solid, and chips are homemade. Would definitely come again!

I had the wings and deep dish pizza. It was good. The pizza was definitely cheesy and the wings were nice size. An 8 out of 10 on quality for the pizza and wings. They have an outdoor patio with a huge fan with water raining out to keep everyone cool when it's hot outside . Staff were friendly but our waitress kind of took awhile to get to us, but she was very friendly.Inside atmosphere looked amazing as well.

I'm not sure what happened to this place but the service is terrible. My boyfriend and sat at the bar, looked at by one of the bartenders and he walked away to never return. The one female bartender did notice us and waited on us immediately, she's always great but clearly busy. The male bartender returns and asks if we'd like to put a food order in, we said yes and he walks away and continues to pour drinks to never return. We left and went to King Jugg which is always amazing and most likely won't be back. PSA: wings are way better at KG anyway ;)
