Plump's Last Shot

We visited in a Sunday afternoon and spent the meal with a lovely bunch of regulars celebrating a birthday! You can tell this is a place with a cult following in the best way. The menu is not expansive, but what they do they do well. We were pleased to see full wings when they arrived at our table rather than just sections. My fiancé considers himself a tenderloin expert and rated this one an 8.5/10. The drinks were reasonably priced and the outdoor seating looked like a fun place to spend and evening with good weather!

Plump's Last Shot is a very chill bar that's almost like a dive bar, but a dive bar that you can take your kids to during the day. There's something for everyone here! There also a huge wraparound patio, so you can order your drinks at the bar and take them outside to enjoy. And if you're lucky, they might have the fire pit going. I only visited for a drink, so I can't attest to the food. But the food looked very decently priced. A burger and fries was around $6, which seems decent in this economy. They also have things like chili, which seems like a strange thing to eat at a bar, but what do I know?They have a small selection of local craft beer, which is what I ordered. They didn't have any on tap, just in a can, but that was fine by me. The people around me were all ordering Michelob Ultras and Bud Lights, but this place also has a full bar with spirits and things. And wine, too! I didn't see the wine glasses until I had already ordered a beer, otherwise I would have been that lady who orders a glass of wine at a dive bar. It was kind of quiet when I visited -- I got there shortly after it opened, and there was only a couple of regulars there. Music was playing every so often, and a basketball game was on the TV.I didn't find this out until later, but the name of this place -- Plump's Last Shot -- comes from Bobby Plump, the owner who was a basketball player who inspired the film Hoosiers. So if you're a basketball fan or a fan of the movie Hoosiers, you need to visit! There is basketball memorabilia everywhere.

Great BRV spot just North of the main drag & the Canal, across from the Monon. Great patio, good bar food and cold beer! Nice spot to people watch on a Summer afternoon or to watch some basketball. Originally owned by Bobby Plump of Hoosiers fame and the Milan Miracle. Also, a Butler Bulldog basketball legend.

The tenderloin was amazing. Flavorful breading, homemade pickles Service was fast and friendly. Really fun neighborhood.

While Plump's tends to be known for their (ridiculously large and also delicious) tenderloin, it's really taco Tuesdays where they truly shine. The chef changes them up every week, and I have never had any that weren't absolutely amazing (and I literally go nearly every Tuesday). Today's blackened fish tacos were actually what inspired me to write this. Also, the bartenders are all super friendly, and it's just a really chill place to hang out, especially out on the deck when the weather is nice. In summary, if it's Tuesday, and you're not eating tacos at Plump's, you probably should reconsider your priorities in life. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

We decided to try this restaurant yesterday after reading all of these 'glowing reviews', as we love Broadripple, we are "Foodies" and love discovering new restaurant "Gems"... and let me say this WASN'T One of them! We ordered to take it out and after perusing the menu, my 82yr old husband re-climbed all those steps again, to place our order and wait for it. He ordered the Tenderloin Sandwuch and I got a Cheeseburger, we both got onion rings! The Tenderloin and Onion Tings were simply DISGUSTING, as they'd been cooked/fried in old burnt tasting oil, my husband couldn't even eat it, it was so dry and burnt tasting. He is a "Tenderloin Connoisseur ", and he was Soreky disappointed in this one! I asked for "grilled" or sautéed onions on my cheeseburger, and they piled on as many RAW onions as they could; they used the hard core part of the lettuce and the tomatoes were soggy; and I don't know what seasoning they use, but they need to STOP using it... the burger meat was dry and salty! The bun was good, but that was about it! I got a small side of coleslaw, and it was so nasty tasting I couldn't eat it! It was that "canned" tasting slaw, and they tried to "doctor" it up with something, which only made it worst! Needless to say we WON'T Be Back and don't WASTE your Money!! I can see WHY the place WAS NOT crowded on a Saturday!

I dragged my family there because I am a huge fan of the movie Hoosiers. This place is owned by the actual player they based the movie on, so there is cool memorabilia all over the walls. We were at first surprised that they didn't have any wait staff, everything had to be ordered at the bar, BUT the bartender was a true pro. He handled so many orders solo, I was impressed. The cheeseburger, wings, pork sandwich, onion rings and tater tots were all great and SUPER inexpensive. If you're looking for fancy maybe this isn't your place (based on previous reviews) but if you are a basketball fan looking for cold beers, cheap GOOD eats, this is a MUST if you are in Indianapolis in my opinion.

Great food and service. Enjoyed the story and memorabilia. If you liked the movie Hoosiers, don't miss this spot.

One of our favorite dive bars! Service is always quick, great atmosphere, cheap drinks, & great bar food.

They have the best ever tenderloin sandwich! Their pickles are the best. Charming little place to eat.
