I moved to Indy when I was 24 and, thus, kind of above the Broad Ripple age. Plus I was dirt poor, so there's that. Anyhoo, I went to Conner's the other night after a practice with the Indy Hurling Club. A total dive, yes, but a welcoming dive. It was so loud I had to ask the person sitting next to me to repeat herself multiple times, but it was. PBR seemed to be the drink of choice, although we classed it up with Coors Light. I didn't feel out of place, being in my *cough*almost late 30s*cough*. The pizza was delish too. I wouldn't make a special trip here (especially because it was so damn hard to find) but it was fun with friends. Also, another friend swears the naked picture of some redheadeded duded looks like her dad. Awesome/weird/awesome.

Do you like getting into fights? Do you like being packed into a bar like sardines with fraternity a-holes? Do you like the smell of Axe or Bed Head? Then Conner's is the place for you! And you can have it.
That's basically it. If you're fresh out of college, or still in college, or...and I'm just guessing here...in high school, then head over and enjoy being packed in with other drunken 20-year old "bros".Listed in: Indianapolis

There is no better Dive Bar on the planet, period.
I've been coming here religiously since my Junior year of college at nearby Butler University. This bar works all season long, and caters to a diverse crowd ranging from 21 years old to 81. If I'm still around at 81, you better believe that anytime I return to a Butler Homecoming, The Indianapolis 500, or the next big wedding, I will always spend an evening in Broadripple, and close the night out here at Connor's.
I've been here a thousand times. The staff is friendly, they work their tails off, and attract fun patrons from every walk of life to always give you a memorable experience. As many times as I've been here, no two visits have ever been the same. The drink specials are great, and the music is at your fingertips with a Jukebox to play everything that you currently have in your iPod. On my most recent visit, I was even treated with an unexpected performance from a live band. As small as this place is, they made it work.
To those of you who prefer to end your evening with a late night snack, if you're ever in Broadripple, let me recommend this to you. Take a pass on the slice or the burrito as big as your head around the corner, and come in here and order a basket of cheeseballs. I could eat these things everyday and they go perfectly with your favorite import. But on the other hand I wouldn't make it to 81 with that being a staple in my diet.
The undisputed heavyweight championship of Dive Bars goes to Connor's, and it's not even close. Can't wait to make the trip sout get back here for the 500. JY and his crew will have the cheeseballs ready the second I enter the door. Yummy! -

I'm going to make this review short and sweet because that's exactly what this bar is. It's small and divey and 100X better than the other Broad Ripple Bars. As a Chicago resident my gripes are something it can't control. For that reason, I give this place 4 stars on the Indianapolis scale. I prefer the Wellington because it has a better beer selection but despite that, this place is cozy, cheap, great juke box, hey, they even had a Chicago flag on the ceiling. Whee!

Great drink specials..if you can stand the hippies.
Conner's is cool, we used to go there once a week. But they have these three particular groups of vehement crazy patrons that are hard to stomach. One crowd is the old men that are always drunk and never quiet, they sit in the corner and shout and curse and go wild. They also have quite the following of hippies...which...i mean...they're hippies...'nuff said. Then the staff is mostly a bunch of no-neck meat sticks that grunt at you and scratch themselves.
Outside if the outlandish crowd the place is awesome, if for no other reason then the most amazing tchotchke's ever (tchotchke's are the trinkets and junk that hang on the walls of restaurants like Applebee's and Fridays...bet you didn't know they had a name, now, go watch Office Space and laugh at the fact that the restaurant is called Tchotchke's).
The drink specials rock and I always love a bar that has Pub Cans, because they are hard to find and Murphy's Red is the best beer you can drink in a can. -

No matter how old I get, I love this place. I have been going to Conner's regularly since I was 22. It is my starter bar. All I need is $20 (they do not take CCs) and I'm buzzin' biggie style before hitting up the clubs in the Rip. Conner's bartenders have been the same guys for at least the six years I've been going there and probably longer!
It is where I discovered Vodka Red Bull, the devil of drinks and for less than $6.00 I get a 12 ounce beverage. It does NOT get better than that. They make a MEAN, PUT HAIR ON YOUR ASS drink. I only need two and I'm good to go.
Not only that, but the bouncers are cool, laid back and the regulars are welcoming and fabulous. It is a bar for all ages, great for early drinking, Saturday sports, or playing with the juke box. I've seen people playing cards in here and participating in other fun drinking games. It is a laid back, chill environment.
Annnnnd.....the pizza. Get it. The cheese cubes. Scarf them. But be careful...they come out so hot, it will burn three layers of skin off the top of your mouth. Slow down, BLOOOOW ...eat. YUM.
Perfect ...this bar is perfect. Check it out. You will not regret it. :) -

Dive bars have their own flavors. This one's comes via its famous cheese balls--smaller-than-tater tot fried balls of Velveeta cheese, served with cocktail sauce for dipping. Their crunch factor is addicting.
The clientele here can be interesting sometimes; rotating sale pints can attract the talkative homeless guy. But if you want some local Broad Ripple flavor, well, that's about right. -

My last review was removed because apparently it was not written in a fair balanced manner. My experiences at connors pub have been poor. Outside of having beverages and good company, the thing that always bothers me is that the crowd tends to recruit on the young side. Like the "I just turned 21" and I am going straight to Connors Pub. If you are looking for the just turned 21 crowd, this is your place.
