Alley Cat Lounge

Few friends and i popped in prior to a concert for some beverages and food. They had a decent selection of beers and liquor. The bartender was friendly and got drinks made pretty quickly even as it got a bit busier. We ended up ordering some apps and a pizza.. the apps were average (cheese poppers i believe?) but the pizza was above average and really hit the spot. Cooked very well and had a ton of flavor with banana peppers, bacon and pepperoni. I'd be happy to come back!

I've visited Alley Cat about 3-4 times and let me tell you, they never disappoint. There's always a mixed crowd. Different ages and ethnicities and we always have a good time! We've broken out in song together and have had great conversations. Even got invited to a kickback. The vibe is great! The bartenders are nice and the food is so delicious! I always get the wings and fries. The wings are always crispy which I love. I get them plain with the sauce on the side. In my pic, I ended up just pouring the sauce on them myself. And the fries, omg! They definitely have THE BEST FRIES. They come seasoned so you don't have to ask and fresh out of the grease! I had 2 blackberry whiskey sours. It was my first time having one and I really liked it. It was so cute and delish. I also tried an old fashioned. I didn't like that one at all lol but I gave it a shot. Great job Alley Cat!

This place is a gem and if I ever go back it may earn a full 5 star from me. Maybe there's some bias on my part as in Nashville where I'm from everything is 2-3x as much as it is here, lol. Stopped in after a show at the Vogue as it's steps away. 3 drinks and a late night chicken tender and fries snack for less than $30 which is insane. $4 drinks, $8 meals! Friendly talklative bartender and customers. Honestly surprised it wasn't more crowded after a full show nearby. Late hours (open til 3 am?!). Clean, comfy, everything you need in a local bar.

Alley Cat is a fixture of Broad Ripple! I've been here somewhere between 1 and 175 times over the past 15 years. They have expanded to have 3 spots that all have slightly different hours. Great breakfast in the front area. Great steak night on Thursday's in the "Speakeasy" portion (you can get the steak in any of the 3 hah)Back area has 2 pool tables and pull tabs. Great bartenders and staff! I attached a picture of one of the blue plate specials I absolutely loved! Blue plate is every Wednesday, highly recommend.

Conveniently located in Broad Ripple this lounge offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It's all reasonably priced and pretty good for bar food. They open early and serve breakfast. The biscuits and gravy are really tasty and flavorful. The chicken strips and fries were pretty standard. They advertise blue plate specials on their social media. They also say they're Broad Ripple's oldest neighborhood bar. I read that they opened in 1976. I've had their food, but not their drinks so I can't review those. I need to change that soon!

The alley cat has expanded into the an entire second half of what the front of their bar used to be in the past year or so. It has a ton of tables on both sides now and a second bar top. I recently tried Thursdays special for the first time and it's such a good deal! Steak Night! You have 3 steak options, 6oz filet, 10oz filet or 12oz ribeye. It comes with a salad (your choice of dressing) a potato (fries or twice baked) and a piece of Texas toast. The best part? The price. 6oz is $16.95, 10oz is $19.95 and the 12 is $21.95. really hard to beat with today's prices even if you were to buy all the ingredients at home. The steak was cooked to order and cooked properly!

Great place to meet friends for food and drinks ! Matt has great customer service and makes a great mocktail ! They have three sides so whatever ambiance you decide upon , they have !

How have I not written a review for Alley Cat yet? This has been our favorite spot in ripple for almost 8 years. We've watched it transform from the original back room to the now expanded space. The lounge is my favorite side and really gives some speakeasy vibes. Typically great bartenders, however, it seems the newer staff could use some improvement. Drinks are really reasonably priced and the food is surprisingly delicious. They have one of my favorite fish sandwiches in the city!! It's definitely a go to for us.

Only giving it 4 stars because it wasn't cooked evenly and was slightly overcooked but it was still delicious. Wish they had vegetables as a regular side but overall 4/5 stars is very fitting.

No exaggeration here: the best steak I've ever had! Perfectly seasoned, and the consistency week after week is remarkable. The staff is fantastic, always accommodating, and even remember my order - a definite bonus!
