HOULIHAN'S 111 W. Maryland St.
Reservations: 317.266.8711 Website
2009 Menu Coming Soon!
"In 1972, Houlihan's first opened its doors in Kansas City with a progressive, eclectic menu and energetic bar scene. Ferns hung throughout, artifacts cluttered the walls and tapestries made by San Francisco hippies formed the ceiling. Caviar burgers, roasted duck, foot-long hot dogs and fresh carrot juice were just a few original menu items so ahead for its time. It was hot.
Before long, there were a lot of 'casual dining' restaurants opening and call us crazy, but they looked a whole lot like us. We tried to be flattered. Some grew really big, and by the '90s, the whole 'casual dining' landscape was pretty me-too. Instead of watching the consumer, the industry seemed more worried about what competitors were doing. Casual dining lost its way, and in doing so lost its edge.
Fast forward to 2002. That's when we had our 'Aha!' moment (as Oprah would say). New leadership, new ideas, new inspiration. We completely re-imagined ourselves, and got back in touch with the consumer. New menus. New plates. New building design, new soundtrack. Stylish uniforms. And a modern, warm restaurant design with an open kitchen and prominent bar. Today, our company is built entirely around what the progressive consumer seeks in a restaurant + bar experience. And we plan to keep it that way.
Forget 'casual dining.' That's an industry term so out of touch with how consumers eat and drink today. For premium quality and style; fare that's at times familiar and other times adventurous and a laid-back modern setting, Houlihan's is a true original."

All sandwiches come served with a side that changes each and every day. Dinner is the busiest time at Greek Islands. On Friday and Saturday evenings, live belly dancers will entertain you while you dine. The rest of the week you will have to let the food keep you entertained. With over a dozen entrees to choose from, it can be difficult zeroing in on just one. If it is your first time sampling Greek food, you may want to stick with Pasticchio. It has a truly American feel with ground beef and macaroni noodles topped with a layer of bechamel sauce and a sprinkle of cheese. All dinner entrees are served with a salad, bread, rice pilaf, and vegetable. -- Chris Saunders " -excerpt from Greek Islands review on AOL Cityguide

HARRY & IZZY'S 153 S. Illinois St.
Reservations: 317.635.9594 Website
"Harry Roth and Izzy Rosen were longtime friends. They met at the age of 10 and continued their friendship throughout high school. They attended Old Manual High in Indianapolis. Izzy was a good student. At the age of 13, he worked outside at the City Market selling produce and meats with his mother after his father passed. Harry attended Monroe College of Optometry and lived in Chicago's Loop area. In 1946, Harry's brothers Sam and Ike purchased St. Elmo Steak House, and shortly after, invited Harry to become a partner in the restaurant. He borrowed $10,000, said, "Farewell" to Chicago - "going from eye glasses to bar glasses" - and returned to his stomping grounds. Meanwhile, Izzy was still in Indy, now working as a bookie. In 1956, Sam and Ike left the business, and Harry asked his longtime friend Izzy to join him as a 50/50 partner in St. Elmo. Harry always wore brightly colored and patterned bow ties, which he wore in lieu of long ties; this to appease his wife, who was not fond of him coming home with cocktail sauce staining the long ties he wore when he started working at St. Elmo. Kindly, warm and charming, Harry is the perfect antithesis of his friend and business partner, Izzy. A man of few words, behind Izzy's large personality and even larger cigars, was a man's man. Harry and Izzy were the quintessential "Odd Couple." After a lifetime of friendship and building St. Elmo Steak House into a hugely successful business, we now celebrate the personalities of both Harry and Izzy in a more casual and updated environment." -excerpt from Harry & Izzy 's website

CLADDAGH IRISH PUB 234 S Meridian St. Reservations: 317.822.6274 Website
2009 Menu Coming Soon!
The story of The Claddagh begins with an American Restaurateur taking a job across the pond with an Irish Restaurateur. The American moves with his wife to the Emerald Isle, where he lives and works for the next two years. Although they both fall for the charm and friendliness of the pubs of Ireland, they knew their place was back in the States with their families and friends. At this time the American had an idea, which was to bring the best of what Ireland had to offer to the States. The American knew that although there were some “authentic” Irish pubs already in the States, he also knew that few brought the “Craic” of the Irish to their pubs. “Craic” (pronounced “crack”) means a fun, friendly, and exhuberant environment. He also knew that few brought the great food that so many of the true Irish pubs had to offer.

J.Gumbo's Down-Home Cajun Cookin'is an independent locally-owned restaurant. We take pride in providing unique drinks and freshly prepared food in a fun and unpretentious atmosphere. J.Gumbo's offers unique menu items not seen in Indianapolis such as Italian beef and Cuban sandwiches as well as specialty burgers. Sitting down at a restaurant and being able to order a pizza is a rarity and J.Gumbo's is the spot Downtown that offers that option. With 40 beers on tap and over 90 in bottles, we are also noted as having the most eclectic beer selection in the Midwest with 3-6 beers on tap that won't be found anywhere in Indiana. J.Gumbo's knows wine as well with a high quality wine list that is moderately priced. Entertainment is easy here as you can test your knowledge with NTN Buzztime trivia at no cost. The kitchen is open late so come on in and relax with us. "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." Benjamin Frank
