Reviews for Books & Brews in Indianapolis, IN
I fell in love with this place for the second I walked in. They have a gaming station as well as a lot of books to browse. The... beer selection was not a lot in terms of quantity but the quality was great. I tried two IPA?s and both were superb. We bought 3pop funkos, 2 books and many beers for under $100. I recommend a visit 10/10! We will be back. ???????? Read more
We have stupendous service here. Best selection of Pokemon cards in the area. They have karaoke the last Friday in the month.... Beer selection is always exceptional. Fantastic place to take the family. Read more
Unfortunately it's not what it used to be since emerging from COVID. Still some good offerings but most of it is now guest... taps. Hopefully they can recover because the place has a lot of character and some of their beer is very good. Read more
First time here but won't be the last. Very chill place to come after work and the bar tenders were super helpful and friendly.... Loved the nerd atmosphere and great beer. The pretzel and beer cheese was delicious! Can't wait to come back! Read more
Very enjoyable place to have a tasty drink and snack, play games and peruse a great collection of fun literary paraphenalia and... used books. At the time we were there, they also had a bingo game going on in the family room. Sounded like the players werehaving a lot of fun! Read more
This place is great. My daughter and I went there for lunch. The outside is easy to find. Inside, we immediately began browsing... the thousands of books to read and for sale, as well as the hundreds of games to play. There is also a variety of items for saleranging from t-shirts, to cups and mugs, to random novelties. The kiddo picked 3 games: sorry, exploding kittens, andbattleship, although we only had time for half of battleship. I have to note the first card game she selected was a variation ofcards against humanity, except with a different name...... mom: 1, spawn:0. That was all just in the first room... In the othertwo rooms there is tables and books in one and a bar in the other. It has a super laid back atmosphere that I really enjoy. Thebar serves different fruit flavored sodas that you can get virgin or cider style. They also had a decent looking beer menu. Toeat for lunch, I ordered a grilled cheese and fruit cup. I received the chips instead, but they were good, plus I got a pickle,and the grilled cheese was delicious. Between the fact that the bartender was super nice and helpful, and even gave me a freemeal coupon for next time (I believe this to be common practice for new customers) I have to keep 5 stars. C'mon Google, whycan't we do half ratings! To wrap it up nicely, I had a blue rasberry virgin soda to drink. The little one finished every biteof her cheese pizza and drop of her cherry soda. I also bought her two books, and since kids ate free today I only spent $25. Wewill be returning. Read more
I went for open mic. It was awesome! The staff was also real friendly and helpful. Book prices can't be beat, and a great... selection of wine and beer, if that's your thing. The bathrooms were beautiful. I felt like a part of a fabulous community, evenif but for a short while. Nice art, too. Read more
Still a favorite place to go. Always a lot of fun and great place to just hang out and visit. Very tasty beer selection and good... munchies. And a new selection of beers. They're wonderful! Read more
