Bru Burger Bar is one of my top recommended restaurants to those visiting the city. The food isn't the only reason why I suggest but because of the location and outdoor seating! I usually go here on busy days, no problem for me. The service is good, usually quick but they do have hard working staff! There are not too many places that cater to my ovo-vegetarian needs (no dairy, no meat) but they did! They were understanding of my restrictions and inquired for what they did not know! I did not feel like a bother, which is usually how some servers can come off when you ask "what is in what". I had a few cocktails, some I forgot the name of. (no worries all delicious). The impossible burger was pretty filling, I couldn't finish it. I would probably go no vegan cheese next time. I enjoyed the Bru Broad too! My favorite is the triple dip but I dipped it in my hummus. If you're looking to order drinks, apps, meal, and even dessert, consider putting aside $35-50 for this visit, even $100 if it will be two! I have a big appetite and Bru Burger Bar knows how to satisfy my cravings every time!

3 stars.It's colder than a polar bear's butt outside and I couldn't find the entrance!!! I walked to the doors I saw from the street, but they were locked. Please put some better signage. Service was a hit! Our server was the bartender and the mocktail we tried was like a mule without the vodka. Delicious. We had onion rings for an appetizer. They are huge. Definitely enough for family to share. And delicious. Scratch made. Beer-battered. Yummyness.Now here's where I had issues... my burger was under seasoned. Like, no salt or pepper or garlic powder or nuthin! Just bland, but juicy. I had to ask for salt & pepper... then I had to ask for some regular ketchup because the house ketchup tastes like BBQ sauce. I would like it more with a pulled pork sandwich.Unimpressed.I wasn't impressed by the burger, but the salads looked really good. I may have to try that next time.

Walking around by the Old National Center before a concert looking for a place to eat and spotted this place. Beer and Burgers are a favorite so I stopped in. Nice bar vibe and a large outdoor patio which is where I opted to sit. I ordered a local craft beer a Hoppopotamus IPA which is quite good. I ordered a Mexicali Burger and Onion Rings which came out promptly. Burger was large and well made. Considering the messy toppings it wasn't sloppy. Very enjoyable experience.

We were greeted when we walked in. The bathroom was clean. The server was friendly. The food on the other, wasn't so great. My black bean burger was mushy. The turkey burger was thin. The sundae was cold. The manager did apologize about the sundae and took it off our bill. I've visited other Bru Burgers and had a better experience with the food.

I dined in during Devour Indy 2025 for dinner. Me and my friend took part in the $20 per person menu options. We selected Pretzels with Beer Cheese and Mustard (not a fan of the Mustard) for an appetizer. The pretzel sticks were do good and hot out the oven, literally melted in my mouth with the beer cheese. The sandwich choices we selected were the Bru Burger with fries, and the Salmon Burger with fries. The Salmon was delicious and the aioli sauce made the taste even more devine,the only compliment was the plating because my friend wished the plate was bigger lol. I enjoyed my Bru Burger that was cooked well done and to my liking. The service was on point, with my server being so attentive to our needs and gave her preferences on menu items that helped with my selection. It wasn't too busy around the time we dined in because we were seated immediately. It gives a chill sports bar vibe. And we were able to catch some NBL sports during our dining experience and able to catch highlights from the Pacers post game talks. Good times were had.

Food was great! Except the chili cheese fries, not what we are used to. The server was super friendly, nice and attentive. We got there around 430pm and it was completely empty! By around 5pm it was insanely crowded. We ordered for appetizer--jalapeño Mac n cheese --super yummy! Wish they put more andouille sausage but overall very rich and creamy. For our burgers... snack burger --kid size, garlic cheese burger and double bacon.

We decided to try Bru Burger Bar for dinner after seeing its high reviews. Parking can be a challenge, as the only options available are paid metered spots.Upon entering, we had the choice to sit either inside or outside. We chose to sit inside, but be aware that there is no air conditioning, making it a bit hot.We started with the soft pretzels, which were quite salty, and the cheese served with them was cold. For the main course, I ordered the Mexicali burger, which comes with white queso, pickled jalapeño, guacamole, fried onion, house chipotle BBQ sauce, lettuce, and tomato. Unfortunately, the burger had too much going on, and the buns were falling apart.Overall, if I'm in the area again, I might consider stopping by, but it's not a definite return for me.

I came here with a local friend and was immediately sold on the garlic three cheese with chicken burger. What's not to love about garlic and not one, not two but three cheeses!?! Swiss, American and Mozzarella. I know this burger isn't healthy but it's delicious! The fries are crunchy and were served multiple dipping sauces.

Always a tried and true! Decided to get a bite here with a friend for Devour. Good as always! I started with a 'Bramble On' cocktail. My friend got a classic margarita. For our starters I got the pretzels while she got the fries. Our waitress was awesome and made the decision for the pretzels to come out first as neither my friend or myself cared if they came out before or with the main dishes. The fries came with three separate dips/sauces to choose from, but we enjoyed using the pretzel cheese the most with the fries. For our mains I got the garlic three cheese. It's my go to at Bru. My friend got the bourbon burger. I'd made a reservation for quick seating, and we were seated promptly. Service was excellent. The food was excellent. Still a tried and true restaurant. Will be back again!

The food came out very quickly, which was great. However, I found a hair in my burger. Shortly after we left, my husband also informed me that he found a hair in his burger too. Totally gross!
