Barringer's Tavern

Barringer's was a great experience. It was recommended to us by our friend's older brother and we had a blast. Ate a ton of food, affordable beer pitchers, and the size of the food is massive. I ate two pizzas and ordered wings and a sandwich and I was not ready. I definitely ate the food the next day!

Also, the vibe of the place is really cool. Especially that they've been open since 1870. The backroom has shuffle board, darts, and billiards. Plus TVs for March madness. Totally great time!

Stopped in for a work happy hour, it's a great location, very friendly staff.
They have a nice selection of drinks! Beer and cocktails.
We sat at a nice big table, and enjoyed music and conversation.
We also got food, the pizza was so tasty! We also had onion rings and cheese curds, both were also good.
Great place on the southside! Check them out if you are in the area.

This is what many would refer to as a dive bar.
It's history is very interesting and impressive.
It definitely needs some cleaning and updates.
John Taffer could surely assist.
We went for lunch recently.
The service was just average and the food was below average. It was not busy but the food took a very long time to arrive. We didn't order anything complicated. My fries were cold.
They were not good as well. The rest of the food was not very desirable.
I heard their pizza was decent, but we did not order it.

My burger reuben patty melt was not good as well. It was super greasy and the burger was too thick, flavorless and tough.
I only ate half of it and it sat super heavy in my stomach like a rock the entire day.
I didn't eat anything the rest of the day. It was messing with me the following day too.
The bathrooms were not very clean and there was a rough odor which appeared to be coming from the plumbing.

I tend to rate places by the shape of their bathrooms. I can't imagine what the kitchen looks like.
There's no reason not to keep things clean. Many of the tables around us were not bussed and cleaned as well.
The health department would definitely appreciate this being up to specs too.

I won't be going back.
I need satisfaction from all angles when I go to a place to dine. As much as they charge for food when going out (even dive bars and fast food), I expect quality and comfort. It's all part of the total and acceptable dining experience.

Love this little local gem! We found this place. Few years ago and always love the times we visit. Their burgers are amazing and the pizza is pretty great too. They have a steak dinner special one day a week that is a heck of a deal. Nothing fancy about Barringer's, but the food is top notch and the staff have always been very friendly.

Came here during Thanksgiving dinner, we were glad that they were open and even had Karaoke going on
We discovered this place during "take-out only during pandemic" and glad to have found this place
We love the pizza! It was really great
The service was awesome and thankful for the staff that chose to work during the holiday!

What a great historical tavern. One of kind! Great atmosphere along with a delightful outside area. Food is solid and 1.50 bush light taps!!

Went there today for the 1st time. Food and service were excellent!!
Brittany was our server and she goes above and beyond to make sure her customers are taken care of.

Will definitely go back!

I've been here a few times now for lunch. Standard tavern/bar food. Order the wings or tenderloin or pizza. I got the saddest steak sandwich last time so I will be avoiding that in the future.
Staff is great. Great prices. Check 'em out.

Our Cacklin' Chicks went there on Wednesday for lunch. We had the Baked Spaghetti salad and garlic bread. Delicious! Service was great! They give you a huge amount of food. We all want to return to try the pizza, fish and other items we saw pass us by while we were eating.

We set out looking for a local spot that has great food that we would be able to spend the evening at and were so happy to have found that in Barringer's tavern. We were immediately greeted by friendly staff and loved the overall feel of the establishment. The tavern has a 140 year history and we could immediately see why! It has a unique style with endless retro decor while still being updated and very clean.

In addition to the great tavern feel, they also have great food and drinks. We shared pizza, a burger, and the south village chislic and loved each item. They also offer a full bar with fantastic bartenders.

In addition to great food and company, Barringer's offers a game room and outdoor patio that frequently has live music. We spent our entire evening here and truly enjoyed our experience. If you're looking for a local Indy establishment that has fantastic history, food, and service, head to Barringer's tavern. We will certainly be returning!
