Yelp recently released its list of the Top 50 Speakeasies In the U.S. and Canada and, lo and behold, an Indianapolis establishment made the list. Wiseguy Lounge is showcased at #25. The nod is well-deserved, with the team at Wiseguy serving up incredible cocktails day in and day out. Plus, the ambiance can’t be beat….
If you’re an Indianapolis local on social media lately, you’ve probably seen something about Antilogy. This new Indy-area restaurant has been making waves on Instagram, with diners who visited during its opening week raving about their overall experience. Antilogy is a unique addition to a commercial area that is mostly populated with chain stores and…
If you were to ask my husband and me our favorite shots, I would hands-down say Woodford Reserve and he would immediately answer Don Julio. So it should come as no surprise that as soon as I found out about Agave & Rye’s newest location — it’s first in Indianapolis — I knew I had…
Ever since its revitalization, the Bottleworks District is easily one of my favorite Indianapolis neighborhoods. I’ve taken you inside Bottleworks Hotel before, so I figured it was high time to introduce you to the speakeasy-style spot that’s hidden in plain sight just inside the lobby. When you enter the hotel, it’s easy to miss the…
Within about five minutes of meeting me (or reading my blog), most people figure out that I’m both a Francophile and an art lover. Thus, it should come as no surprise that The Lume at Newfields is one of my favorite indoor activities in the Circle City. The current immersive exhibit, Monet & Friends Alive,…
On Instagram this week, someone told me I’m the “speakeasy girl,” and I can’t say that I mind the moniker. I love taking you inside Deco-inspired bars that transport you to last century, at least for a few hours. Tonight, we’re trekking to Indianapolis’s Fountain Square neighborhood to spend some time at The Brass Ring…

The area is still bordered by farmland, and it feels like you’re miles from civilization just a few minutes out of town (even though you’re actually mere miles from I-65). Main Street is home to the usual suspects — legal offices, a…
Over the weekend, the “Princess Squad” and I indulged in a little bit of retail therapy at The Fashion Mall. If you’re an Indy-area local, you might already know that the northside’s shopping mecca got a little bit more delicious this weekend with the opening of Doc B’s Restaurant & Bar. Originally a Chicago establishment,…
Last year, I shared a full guide to the Indiana State Museum during the holidays, and I mentioned that I couldn’t have been more impressed with how the museum had changed since my last visit as an elementary school student over 25 years ago. My daughters still talk about the Snowflake Express train the museum…
In the 1920s and 1930s, Indianapolis played stomping grounds for a number of notorious gangsters — most famously John Dillinger — and the city is now home to numerous speakeasy-inspired establishments. If you’ve been around for any length of time, you know I’ve never met a Prohibition-Era spot I don’t love. However, one Indy speakeasy…
