Average Joe's Sports Pub

Joe's is a fun place to watch a game and throw back a beer. The Broad Ripple bar is locally owned and has been around since 1994. The bar is filled with sports memorabilia from Indiana greats and race car themed treasures. There is even some interesting vintage pieces from IU and Purdue. While the bar is dated, there is an undeniable fun vibe. I stopped in for a quick bite. The sign out front advertised $2 tacos and had specials for craft beer too. The bar had just opened and the bartender was tending tables. She was friendly and took our order. The tacos came out quickly and were simple but hit the spot. The bar has a couple pool tables and dart boards. The gaming area looks fun. The bar is clean and smoke-free. Parking is a bear in Broad Ripple. We ended up parking a couple blocks away in metered parking. Nearby street parking was all filled, even though it was early in the day.

A sports bar on broad ripple ave that honestly I didn't even realize was there for the longest time. I walked past on Saturday after not being able to find a seat at my go-to bar for sprits games. I was looking for the NCAA basketball games and this place had lots of open seating at the time. The servers were attentive and wiped down all the tables prior to seating people. I was at the table tucked away in a corner of a booth and thank goodness because maybe I'm the only one who still thinks Covid is around?? I saw dozens of people walking into the bar without masks on and crowding at the bar area. Y'all be safe out there. Thankfully we already ate when it got this crowded and we're able to pop out relatively easily. Anyways, back to good things..the burgers! There is about 20 burger options which makes me believe that is the go-to thing to order here. I tried the classic cheeseburger and it was perfect. Quarter pound patty looks as if it's smashed style and tasted delicious. All burgers come with chips but you can upgrade to crinkle cut fries or onion rings for $1.50. I will be back for this little sports bar once Covid has passed.

Drink prices were great! Food prices were awesome. We ordered the wings and we weren't impressed. They over cooked our first set. The wing sauce wasn't your typical sauce. The waiter wasn't very attentive. I personally will not go back for the food.My girlfriend used the bathroom and said they stank and the wall was falling apart... so if you care about reviews. It's 3 stars lol.... It's a college bar ‍

We ended up in Average Joe's after a situation at another bar, and I can say.......I am glad we ended up here!As soon as you walk in you are greeted by a voice from the bar followed up with a waitress coming to seat us. We were a larger group than most (4 of us) but had our eyes on a certain table (by the garage door). The waitress was very nice and found if the current clients al were leaving (which they were) and she got the table cleaned up immediately! The waitress (Taytem) went over the menu and drink specials and took our order. I can definitely say she was quick! I feel she was pouring drinks herself but who knows, all I know is she kept checking in and kept our drinks coming! LolFor food we took advantage of the 1/2 price pizza special and útil sized all 3 of our toppings. You only get ti have 3. Unfortunately the thin crust was sold out (in the large) so we had the pan. It was good! It actually did not disappoint at all! I know sometimes bar pizza crust is really bland but this one had a hint of olive oil flavor ti me.We also split a huge order of wings. We ordered 24 and told advantage of getting different sauces. They come in groups of 6 in order to get a different sauce. We tried honey BBQ, medium, garlic butter and habernero BBQ. The habernero BBQ was my fav!!! Now it has a kick! So be prepared but the sweet spicy taste ......was heaven!I will definitely be coming back to this location and I'm glad we had the chance to check it out.

This place is awesome! Our server Tracy was great and they have amazing nightly deals on food and drinks! Definitely will be returning!

I've been meaning to check this place out for like over a year and I finally got the chance. I have a group of friends that like to come here on Wednesday's for the wings special. $3 for 6 wings which is great! Tried the Honey BBQ and it was delicious. I split a basket of fries with another person which was more than enough. Our waitress Tatum was very good to us. We were there for a couple hours as more people showed up to our table and she was never far behind with taking everyone's orders. It was also a beautiful day so that meant sitting by the open window enjoying the weather and people watching. I will make sure to come back often.

The older I get, the more I appreciate bars like this. You can sit, have a conversation with your friends, watch sports on TV, maybe play a little pool, and enjoy decently-priced food and drink. My friends and I even did their New Years Eve package a couple of years ago and had a great time. They have great food and drink specials everyday of the week. I'm a big fan of the $1.50 mini cheeseburgers on Fridays and the half price pizza on Sundays. Their nachos are the best in Broad Ripple, IMO. They always have pitchers specials and hot, fresh, complimentary popcorn. To me, Average Joe's is a welcome change of pace and a step above average.

We went back on our second trip to Broad Ripple, because my man loved the Jalapeno Poppers so much.They really do have amazing bar food and good mixed drinks! We also got a pitcher of blue moon. Their prices were really good also and it's fun to just chill there, eat and drink, and be merry. We have yet to try the pool tables but it looks fun. Next time!

Been here 10+ times and the service is consistently terrible.Today, not only was my free pitcher coupon from my softball league denied for no reason, but also no waiter/waitress came to my table of 6 for over 45 mins...?Unbelievable

Came into town to see some friends. They visit very frequently as they live in brip. I went there 2 days in a row, and was not impressed, but it wasn't awful initially. Their bouncer, Jacob, who will never be anything more than a bouncer at the door is a thief and their management didn't do anything when they found out he overcharged outside the door. Overall, an ok place to go price wise, but the bartenders were well below par, & I will never go back nor suggest anyone to due to the slow wait times. They were not busy and displayed extremely poor management handling a scenario that should have never occurred. 1/5. So many better places in the area, don't waste your time or money here.
