The District Tap

I really wanted to like The District Tap because of its prime location in downtown Indianapolis and the overall lively atmosphere, but unfortunately, the food just didn’t deliver. I came in expecting a decent meal and left disappointed—especially after spending nearly $17 on something that barely passed as average bar food. I ordered the chicken tenders and French fries, and the entire plate was extremely underwhelming. Out of the four tenders, only two tasted fresh—crispy, hot, and cooked just right. The other two were clearly not made at the same time. They were dried out, rubbery, and tasted like they had been sitting in a warmer for a long while. The inconsistency in quality was obvious and disappointing. The fries were just as uninspiring. Basic frozen fries you'd find in any grocery store—no seasoning, no crisp, no effort. They were bland and soggy by the time they reached the table. Absolutely nothing special, and definitely not worth the nearly $17 price tag. Service was fine, and the vibe of the place is cool, especially if you’re just there for drinks or to catch a game. The bar area had a decent crowd and good energy, so I can see why people hang out here. But if you’re looking for quality food, this is not the spot. There are plenty of better dining options downtown. I might come back for a drink—but I definitely won’t be ordering food again.

Stopped in this place and was happy we did. The food was hot, cooked to perfection along with an attentive server. All restaurants in the downtown area if Indy were full due to the Black Expo and WNBA All-Star events going on. I would definitely return to this establishment.

This place has great food. First time coming here for me while it was the 2nd time for my friend. We got the snack sized nachos which were huge and tasty. The ingredients were nice and fresh with great flavor. She got a burger with fries while I got the smash burger and sweet potato fries. My smash burger was great with the burger being seasoned to perfection and the sweet potato fries were crispy on the outside and soft the inside and seasoned well. The prices were not horrible, I’ve ate pricier food that wasn’t as good. The atmosphere was nice. We had a late lunch so it wasn’t too busy and loud and service was very fast! We will definitely be back when we go back there for an Indiana Fever game!

Didn’t order any food but they serve flights so I indulged, while watching some games on TV. They have an excellent selection of various beers. They were all great. Service was great, the barkeep even let me sample a couple other beers he thought I’d like. He was right! The bar wasn’t overcrowded but it was bustling. Glad I dropped in.

This was our 3rd visit to The District Tap. And was a special evening, as it was Game 6 of the NBA finals and The Pacers were playing that team from OkC. What a fantastic atmosphere to be in. What was special was as busy and crowded and crazy as it was. Our food was very good, served timely our waiteress was attentive to us the entire evening. We were there. Our app we tried the Texas guacamole... WoW! Could make it a meal. 2 or 3 kinds of steak finely chopped in the well seasoned Guac. That alone is worth the trip dowtown. They could get a little better tortilla chip but that didn't take away at all. Thats just me. My burger was great cooked perfectly as to be juicy but not pink, well seasoned too...

I came here for lunch while in town for work. I didn't have to wait for a table, which could had been a result of the time I was there, but I was seated and served quickly. The service was very good. The food was very good, and the prices were good for the size of the meal. I definitely recommend coming here.

Good spot for a beer and food before a Pacers game (if you can find a seat, or willing to stand). The beer selection is pretty good for this type of place, including many local crafts. The pork nachos were surprisingly good, and the steak burrito bowl was also pretty tasty.
