Sam's Silver Circle Bar

Seems to be an unpopular opinion based on the total rating but a 3 seems appropriate for our visit! Bar service for food and for drinks. The pizza had a great amount of cheese and sauce but the crust was a bit burnt and overall underseasoned. We'd skip the breadsticks and cheese sauce next time. Great for drinks, good for young groups-heads up it's loud in there, a solid dive through and through.

Looking for a casual pizza place downtown we found SSC. I got a big smile on my face when we walked in and saw this iconic dive bar! Every inch of the ceiliing and walls are covered with license plates, sports memorabilia and street signs, and every table was full because it was bingo nightA handful of craft beers on draft and in cans. But the winner was the pizza. Loaded with toppings all the way to the edge, it reminded me of local pizza parlors when I was a kid. One woman makes all the pizzas in her small "open" kitchen. One counter to make it, and one pizza oven (that looks like an easy bake oven) to cook it. Kudos to her!We will be back, maybe for karaoke or trivia night!

terrible service, pizza was sub par. if you're looking for the best worst karokoe this place is for you but if you really want decent pizza and service do not go.

We left Lafayette early so we could grab lunch at Sam's on our way downtown. We got there just after 11am on a Saturday and were the second people there. The bar was clean and the bartender and staff were friendly. I do not believe they had the back patio the last time we were here. It looked like a cool place to hang out and according to some in-bar advertising, you can rent the patio and get a keg and pizza for a group up to 75 people. Our draft beer was cold, which is always nice. If there was a way to give 3.5 stars, unfortunately I would. We came for the pizza and something has changed. We looked at pics that we had of pizza that we had eaten before and it was different. The cheese seemed, for lack of a better word, different. It seemed more like a premade pizza than I remember. I would get up early to make sure we came here for a few years ago pizza, but not for what we had yesterday. We enjoyed our time at Sam's as we always have. I wanted to enjoy the pizza more than I did.

Classic dive bar! Definitely one of the best in Indy. Service is great and everyone who works there is very kind. Food is your standard bar food with the exception of breakfast on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Definitely will be back for some bingo! (Every other Tuesday)

Had the best time at this bar sorry we found it last minute. Could've spent all day there! Jazmyn was amazing! She was so fun and poured fun drinks for us! Can't wait to come back next year. Thanks Jazmyn wish people were nicer to each other because you were great!

Great people, service and vibe. I stopped by when I was in the area after hearing about Sam's Silver Circle for years. I was alone and stopped by after work. By the time I left I felt like I had been going there for a decade. I met super nice regulars, the bartender was very kind and friendly, and the beer was cold. A great bar!

I really don't want to be that person who says that something has "good vibes," but what the heck: Sam's Silver Circle has good vibes. OK, I said it, and it's true. Have you ever walked into a place and immediately felt peaceful? That's how I felt walking into Sam's Silver Circle. There were at least two TVs on and people at the bar talking and music playing, so it was a bit of a sensory overload, but it's still a chill place. The bartender was friendly and efficient, and they have Daredevil Lift Off on tap, as well as lots of other beers. And speaking of sensory overload: There is so much stuff on the walls. Like every bit of memorabilia associated with local high schools, IU, Purdue, Ball State, Butler University, Indianapolis Motor Speedway stuff, Colts paraphernalia, Indiana license plates, license plates from other states, newspaper clippings, record sleeves, bumper stickers, regular stickers, neon signs, street signs, posters, magazine covers, signed photographs, and lots more. I like to think of myself as a minimalist, but really, I love being surrounded by lots and lots of stuff to look at. I really enjoyed drinking my beer and looking at all of the stuff all around me.While I was drinking my beer, I heard someone who worked there tell someone else that Sam's Silver Circle has been around since 1938, and it's only had two owners that whole time. Wow! That's a lot of history for a little bar in Fletcher Place. (Or is it in Fountain Square? I don't know where the heck I am.) But it all makes sense now. You can really feel the history within this place.I only visited Sam's for a drink this time, but apparently you can also get pizza here. I'll have to come back for a drink and a snack at some point.

I just moved to the city, no dishes or silverware unpacked and tired from renovations. Sam's is down the street from my house and was a life saver. It was so delicious and the perfect treat after a long day. I don't go much because it's a bit pricey for me but even with that I couldn't recommend this place more!

Pizza is a must try! Friend and I called in our order and it was ready within 20 minutes. We ordered the largest pizza for two of us and it was a great size with a good amount left over. Pepperoni is under the cheese and they included ranch per our request with parm cheese and red pepper flake packets on their own. Would definitely order from here again!
