Any recommendations on places to go, things to eat, and beer to drink 'round Downtown Indy? We won't have a car so we'll be walking and ridesharing during our stay. Thanks! If the weather is good military Park is very nice and that's where all the corps warm up before they perform and they usually have a free shuttle bus to take you to the stadium from there. If you need to take a break from food and drm corps years ago I took a tour of the Indianapolis Speedway about 20 minutes away from downtown by car I'm not a racing fan but I did enjoy myself quite a bit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ram is pretty decent, St. Elmo's is nice but pricy. They have a Giordano's up near the circle as well. Late night drunk food...White Castle (ugh), Steak and Shake, and a place called Hotbox Pizza that's open till 4 am Thursday-Saturday. Hotbox Pizza is actually pretty tasty but it's mostly a takeout place. Awesome -- thanks! Nothing wrong with late-night, takeout pizza ;) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a great BBQ place right between Capital Grille and Rockbottom - I am totally going there once (or ten times) during the week. Barbecue -- not many authentic BBQ joints here in Hawaii -- looking forward to trying some. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugarfire is a franchised St. Louis BBQ joint. Being from KC, I won't lower myself to that type of "BBQ"...but carry on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
