Been here a few times. The vibe is dark, cozy, with a good music. They have a good variety of drinks and always creative seasonal fun. Cocktail are about 14+, so not to pricey. Bathrooms are clean with big mirrors. Really want to try their hotdogs, but don't know how I feel about getting a got dog with drinks. The name sounds like it should be in Brooklyn and I think that's apart of the fun.

Girlfriends and I arrived for an after dinner drink on a Saturday evening. While the front area and bar were well filled we quickly found a couple of tables to accommodate us in the back part of the space. The tables were clean, cozy chairs and comfy booth bench, good playlist playing at a volume that both allowed us to hear our conversation, vibe, and drown out our adult topics to the surrounding tables . Bartender was friendly and passionate about crafting the drinks, especially my Matcha sour. Reasonable prices for this level of handcrafted cocktails and mature ambiance. Perfect for a sexy date or friend get together. We had fun thank you to the staff, we’ll see you next time we’re in Indy

Thank your Nowhere Special for the early preview last night! The food, atmosphere and cocktails were amazing! My favorite cocktails were the Old Fashioned and the VERY unique Ocean Martini. The ceviche and beef dumpling were also delicious and I can’t wait to have them again. Definitely hurry into this place when they officially open, snag yourself a few cocktails and amazing food!

This location holds wonderful memories (former Libertine). I expected to be disappointed but was pleasantly surprised. The bar tender (Leo - who is likely a high level mixologist) asked for my drink preferences and then made the BEST whiskey and malort based cocktail. I typically don't love either. Excellent.

First time and I am glad about it! It's a hidden ge, but the climate is so warm and intimate. A free space to be and the drinks were magical. Magical looking, too. Shout out to Grace for being an attentive server. She made my first time experience quite comfortable and ignatious.

The place had a great vibe, not too loud but pretty lively. I’ve never been there before, but they had a special promo going on in the back. I’m definitely going to check it out again!
