Stepping into the Rathskeller is a treat for the eyes, as well as the stomach. The room has fine art quality stained glass windows, an intriguing fireplace with dark sculptures and mottos in German, and other cultural pieces that contribute to the feeling of being in a small town in Germany instead of Indianapolis. The sausages and meats are top quality from local German butchers, and the meals are flavorful and substantial. My husband's favorite is the Beef Rouladen, while I alternate between Kassler Ripchen and the German sausages with kraut. The beers are another tasty bonus. My daughter had her wedding rehearsal dinner here, and the out of town guests thought it was a treasure.

Very Trendy place, but you probably won't find a German there. Food is very good and the beers are tasty, but bring your wallet loaded with cash becasue it is pricey. You can get a 32oz beer, but it comes in a plastic cup (not German at all). Try the rouladen and ox tale soup for dinner!

Anytime I am in Indy, I try to make it here at least once. Good food, fun atmosphere, and great live music. Can be crowded, but it is a fun diverse crowd.

The outdoor beer garden cannot be beat. If nothing else, come here to see a great band and drink some fine German beer. It is always very crowded and fun and the line for the bathroom will remind you of the college days. If you like German food, this is the place to get it. There is also a basement venue for bands.

The Rathskellar is located in a beautiful historic building right across the street from the Murat Theatre. They serve traditional German food and good beer. It's usually easy to find parking there in the evening (meters are free after 5pm) unless there's a concert at the Murat. The food is overpriced and just ok, the service is hit or miss, but they do have a great bar and a good beer selection. It's a perfect spot to meet up before or after a concert. In the summer, they have a nice beer garden outside and sometimes host live music on the weekends.

Great for lovers of beer! They have large and small bottles of tons of European gems (including my favorite - LaChouffe!). The Biergarden is for sure the place to be in Spring, Summer and early Fall. You always run into someone you know! Great place for pre-pub crawls, and to celebrate your love of great Euro-beer! Pros: Great location, Outdoor Dining, Expensive Cons: Bad parking, Really busy, Closes early

The Rathskeller is the best place near downtown to eat, drink inside and watch a band, drink outside at the beer garden, have a banquet or reception or just walk around. Very hip area. Always something to do.
