The Abandoned Station

For those who loved A Taproom as much as I did, this is the [very-quickly-opened] replacement: a Narrow Gauge taproom with house made pizza. I stopped in the first week open with my husband and a few friends. They have upstairs bar and table seating (including a couch), and also spots downstairs and outside. There are TVs behind the bar and light music playing, so it's a perfect spot to chat with friends or watch a game with good beer. There are about 16 taps, plus a cooler of beer: some on-site beers, but mostly beer to buy to-go. They also have a list of NA options: soda, seltzers, CBD drinks and beers. My non-drinking husband appreciates the variety. It's so great to have Narrow Gauge available in Indy. (They are based in St Louis, and have not distributed their beer in Indy before.) They make solid beers of every style, but you'll love their IPAs.

Stumbled upon this place while I was at Goose the Market across the street. Was welcomed by the bartender, and he kind of walked me through what was going on there. I could not tell if they actually brew beer on premises, but they partner with one and primarily serve that beer there. It's a small place--could maybe hold about 30 people but it's got a good; neighborhood pub vide. There is also a small arcade downstairs and a seasonal beer garden out back. Had the Galiphonia which was their milk stout and it was delicious. They seem to serve pizza there as well.
