Billyknows a fun burger joint:
Kumas Corner is by far the best burgers you will find in Indianapolis.
They are located in Fountain Square and originated out of Chicago.
They also have one of the best beer selections it’s possible for you to find.
All of the burgers are unique and named after heavy metal bands.
Their worst burger is still better than the best burger anywhere else.
Their 5 0r 6 spice grades let you specify the heat level.
I go there too much, per my wallet and waist.
The Chatterbox on Mass Ave has excellent jazz pretty much every night and the staff is charismatic.
I also dig the soul food at The Eagle, although they call it Southern Comfort Food.
They have some interesting drinks and the pizza is crazy good.
If you like great Mexican, Carniceria Guanajuato has excellent food and a Mariachi band.

Getting Around
Robotech_Masterlists Indianas really weird blue laws, including these:
No alcohol sales on Sunday.
Only liquor stores are allowed to sell chilled beer.
Grocery stores and gas stations have to carry it at room temperature.
Enjoy a beer or a cocktail while walking around the cultural trail.
A downtown parking tip fromtuxed0bird:
park at mall parking.
Does not apply if there is a huge convention or game happening.
In fact, unless you have a reason and like racing, avoid the city in May.
Tons of German beer, and the hottest/best mustard Ive ever had.OminousCorn
