Burnside Inn

Had a chance to visit the Burnside Inn with a friend recently. I'll give an okay review, because it wasn't MY cup of tea. It's a 3-story house turned bar/lounge/hang-out spot. It seems to be a place where lots of college aged students and those under 30 go. There are room to congregate besides the bars on the 1st and 2nd floors, but everything's narrow and felt crowded very quickly.There was a live band playing music unrecognizable to me. If you grunge rock, you might find yourself quite comfy here. I'd like to come back for their karaoke night on Thursdays, other than that, it's just not my cup of tea. But go check it out and tell me what you think.

Okay, I've been sleeping on this place! We were on a pub crawl and stopped here without any prior knowledge. The bartender told us they are known for the mules and they should INDEED BE KNOWN FOR THEIR MULES. No notes. We tried the blueberry, the lavender, and the regular mule and they were all awesome. We also were digging the colonial vibes--it was as though we just got off our Pony Express route and were posting up for a round of beverages. Can't wait to come back to check out the additional floors which open later in the evening!

The best blueberry Moscow mule I've ever had! The bartender was fast and efficient! They had live music during the night we were there with someone playing the piano and it seemed like the whole crowd was cheering and singing together.

Burnside Inn is my go to place downtown! There are three levels. The first floor has a bar and usually someone id playing the piano. The second floor has a small bar with a stage, where there is usually live music. The third floor has a private room and pool tables. The bartenders always provide great service and make sure you're taken care of! This time we ordered the BIG Moscow mule. You have to have at least 6 people to split it with you. It's $100 and totally worth it!

Very bummed after a poor service experience. We love coming here and we're coming for my 30th birthday after lunch. We waited for opening at 2:00, they opened the doors at 2:10 which was fine but when my dad entered and let us know the doors were open, the bartender told him to "turn the energy down, I just woke up." This was such a bummer to have this service and felt like we were very unwanted there. We ended up leaving and won't be back so our "energy, isn't too much" we took it somewhere else

I'll be honest, I had never noticed this place before. But it's a great little bar from what I experienced. I think they have a second floor and a patio but it was closed when we were there on a Saturday afternoon. They're known for their mules and I love a good mule! I tried the strawberry fields mule and it was delicious. Not too sweet but definitely a hint of strawberry. The drinks are expensive though. $9 for my mule!

This is the place for an awesome MoscowMule. They have so many different options for flavors too. The bartenders here are great too no issues and they knock some drinks out fast. The location is awesome too only downside it is small and when they get busy it's tight. Give this place a try for sure.

A 3 story dive that houses live music and is known for their mules. Sorry-no food. A great spot to visit on a weekend where you're hoping to hear a band or piano music. Lots of bar seating, even though it's essentially a row house. They have an odd variety of pictures and knickknacks so always something to look at while you have a drink. The miles are their things. Moscow mules, Kentucky mules, you name It. They have the copper mugs and lots of them for everyone to enjoy.

This is a great place to go to hang out with friends, or just to enjoy good drinks and live music. They have a very good drink menu consisting of multiple flavors of mules (their specialty) like lavender and blueberry, but also interesting variations of known drinks, such as a cucumber gin and tonic. The prices are reasonable for what you would expect to pay along mass ave. Right now they are limiting their capacity due to covid, but even if there is a line it does not take very long to get inside. You can pretty much always find a seat to listen to the live music or talk with your friends, or you can hang out on one of their many patios. They have multiple bars and a pool table. A very cool space to just hang out in.

Best Old Fashioned you can find in Indy!!! The smoked old Fashioned is only $12 and you not only get the best cocktail in Indy but such a great atmosphere. Reminds you of a speak easy without the hassle of trying to get in. We usually have the same bartender who knows how to put on a great show while putting out the top of the line drinks. There are 3 floors but the main level is where all the magic happens. There is no food here so make sure to fill up at Bakersfield or Slapfish before coming to get your drink on.
