That Place Bar & Grill

Went last night for hot dog night & $ 2 tall boys. Hubby got philly hot dog, I got Coney Island hot dog and we split it with each other. FABULOUS! I am partial to stadium dogs during baseball season, but outside of baseball season, finally found one that’s off the hook! Huge hot dog with potato chips for $ 3.99. Great deal! Very good service too! Love coming here!

I’m a regular so probably a bit biased. It’s a great place to go for good music and good food at an affordable price. Too many bars out there who charge Olive garden prices for bad food… but not here. Sorry but all the reviews about older cougars on the hunt for younger men here are a bunch of BS… anybody who frequents That Place knows this is mainly a 35 and older crowd and the youngsters don’t really hang out here. Anyhoooo, great place and I always have a good time.

The bartender was nice and on point. The food was pretty bad, everything was bland, and the burger patty was just a mess. The guy running DJ bingo was a complete dick. I won’t be back. 0 stars if I could.
Go to Murphys’ or Mikie’s instead.

I arrived during lunch, and it was slow, so service was excellent. Then, Wow! I found the tenderloin. I recommend the Frisco fried tenderloin. It was dressed with bacon, pepper cheese, tomatoes and Frisco sauce on sourdough bread. The sandwich was enormous and arrived with a pickle spear and hand-​made chips. You can also get it with crunchy waffle fries, or one of their other sides. My choice, however, are the fries, though the chips are a close second. These waffle fries are no Chik-​Fil-​A fries! They are crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside, and they are so, so delicious. The tenderloin was freshly hand cut in their own kitchen directly from the pork tenderloin, the fat trimmed, and pounded to a half-​inch thick. Then they dredged it in egg, coated it in a flour breading, fried it and added salt. I mentioned adding salt because without the tomato and Frisco sauce, this tenderloin would have been too salty for me. With the sauce and tomato, however, it was absolutely delectable. The tenderloin was $ 8.99 with chips and a pickle. Just a note, their tenderloin was voted best in Indianapolis.

Worst service ever… a friend of mine and I stopped in here to check it out. Waited thirty minutes before a waitress ever stopped and asked if we were ok after walking by us three or four times with no drinks on our table. Smh…

I came here for their Tuesday night trivia with my boyfriend last week and was pretty disappointed.
We arrived and were unsure where to sit as That Place is a bar with tables as well and there is no host/​hostess. Our server came pretty promptly but after that, service was pretty slow.
They have deals each day of the week and the prices are cheap! We got a couple pitchers of beer (which are smaller than I thought) and I had the $ 2 Tuesday tacos. Our server didn’t know anything about beer so she was little help in deciding what to get. The tacos were good! If it weren’t for the strange atmosphere, I’d come back for them.
It was a strange crowd. It seemed mostly like working class older adults (40s and 50s) which wasn’t what we were expecting at trivia. The trivia itself was pretty fun, but way too slow.

That Place is always packed. If you want a table or even a stool you have to go earlier than 9pm. I always have a good time there. If you sit towards the dance floor and want a drink you usually have to go to the bar. Pool table area usually has a server. Saturday live bands– age range seems to be 30 and up

weirdly enough they have a great breakfast, just trust me, it’s tasty and cheap, and yeah, it will cure a hangover. Also, this place is huge which is nice in a bar but loud as hell when a band is playing… which admittedly is probably the point. I’m not a football fan, but I hear it’s a great place to go watch the games, and sometimes they have trivia nights, which I suck at, but are entertaining.

We love this place. great bands on the weekends. Fun place to chill with friends, dance, reasonable drink prices and bartenders and staff are friendly. Food is good too! Huge place with a few pool tables and other bar type of games to play.

Great service. Great bands! Love the live music. They have added some good appetizers to the menu.

Big and spacious, this south side attraction is open for lunch, but rocks it out in the evenings. Be sure to check out their website or FB page for their list of live acts on stage. Good drink specials, great parking, and friendly staff makes That Place something to remember.

That Place is a pretty good place. Maybe not my kinda clientele but it is a nice big bar with pool tables and quite a good selection of booze and craft brews. They have recently expanded and the place looks great. There is a nice big stage for bands and a pretty low cover of $ 2. I had their wings once and was pretty impressed.

Best bar on the southside! Great drinks prices. They have great daily lunch specials for only $ 5! And a rather large menu with lots of options. The band was awesome had high energy and made you want to get up and dance! By far our favorite bar in Indianapolis… just order a bomb you’ll see why!!!

Sorry I went here. Food is horrible, got very sick after having the boneless wings. My friend had the loaded tots. Words can’t express how bad this was. Beer was warm and it took forever to get served to begin with.

Great bar food, great prices and service too. And they have trivia and poker. Excellent drink specials as well. The cheeseburgers and wings are awesome.

That Place bartenders make the best cocktails in town. They are reasonably priced and just the right liquor to mixer ratio. The staff is great and make you feel welcome and treat you like family. I meet the love of my life there and we have been married for 6 years now. I cannot say enough good things about That Place! It’s the best bar on the southside! They also have great bands and super fin trivia on Tuesday night!

I’ll be back! My new favorite bar in Indy!

Can’t find anything that sounds good on the menu at That Place? Don’t worry, you can just eat the thick cigarette smoke in the air!
This is pretty much a standard strip mall bar, but about twice the size. There are the usual strip mall bar characters:
–Older chicks with Hoosier Hair (that’s what my mom has always called it) pounding beers, chain smoking, and hitting on young dudes.
–Guys in their mid-20’s who wear Tapout shirts, have that thin chin strap beard, and get pissed off when you walk to the restroom and get in the way of their billiards game. «I got money on this, bro.»
–The professional karaōke singers who will freak the hell out if someone sings «Sweet Caroline» before they’ve had their chance. That is their song. Everybody knows it.
-«Harley Guy,» who wears a bandana, leather chaps, drinks Bud longnecks, and hits on the female bartenders who are 30 years younger and aren’t interested anyway because they already have six kids.
–The cover band groupies who roll in to see their favorite acts. Apparently nothing drops the pants like hearing «Mustang Sally» for the 3,416^th time.
Overall, this is an entertaining joint and is worth stopping in to from time to time. They have some decent specials ($ 2.50 bloodies on Sunday and $ 5 pitchers on Wednesday), a lot of TVs with every NFL game on, and four bar top game/​trivia machines.
As I mentioned at the beginning, it definitely attracts the smokers. I think the bartenders moonlight (daylight?) as the Philip Morris Board of Directors.

I went to this place on the Saturday night after Thanksgiving with a bunch of my old high school classmates while I was home for the holiday. That Place was packed with Southside Indy party people out for a night of heavy drinking and LOTS of chain-​smoking. Unlike much of the world outside of Indiana, the Hoosier state or at least Indianapolis still allows smoking in bars. The previous reviewer had it wrong. The ladies in the crowd weren’t cougars, they were 20-​something females that had been smoking since they were 13. But, I digress. The bar had a decent cover band playing songs from the 60s, 70s, and 80s. However, I didn’t stick around too long for fear of developing lung cancer or emphysema on the spot from the second hand smoke. All kidding aside, That Place is probably a very good bar for many people as evidenced by the large Saturday night crowd. It’s just way too smoky for my taste.

After years of working and hanging out in bars, I’ve learned one thing. You can tell everything you need to know about a place just by looking at the bouncers. When I saw the two HUGE & HULKING bouncers in lime green t-​shirts hovering by the door, I knew this place was built for trouble. And by trouble, I mean fun — the kind of fun that starts out fun, gets really fun and then turns to nothing but trouble. Both of these men could crush any guy in this place with one hand. I’d say the bigger one was 6’7 and weighs about 375. The other guy was almost as big. I love a big man but these boys scared me. One of them looks a bit like Sloth from the Goonies. My inner Chunk wanted to give him a Baby Ruth.
Once I made it past the bouncers I realized That Place needs to be renamed The Cougar Den. Oh yes. Lots of older ladies on the prowl looking for some sweet young cubs to take home and show them how to hunt. I went on a Saturday about 10 pm and the place was packed. I’d estimate 80% of the men were under 30 and 85% of the women were over 40. Full-​disclosure — I am 40, but not in the market for a boy toy. I went with two of my cousins who are 28 & 24. A few of their cutie-​pie cub friends were there too. Several of the ladies were giving me looks along the lines of – what the hell are you doing with 3 cubs when I can’t even land one?! Finally, around midnight, a 43 year-​old momma asked me who they boys were. When I told her they are my cousins she zeroed in on the 24 year-​old. Meow!
Jagerbombs seem to be the drink of choice. The band was decent and played lots of songs from the 80’s — Simple Minds, Cheap Trick, Billy Squire — all designed to fire up the cougars. While I’d like to think this place was in rare form, I bet this is the nightly MO — lots of cleavage, tight pants, cheap make-​up applied with a heavy hand and more than a couple of bad tattoos peeking out above bras & panties. Everyone (or so it seemed) was smoking. Between the booze goggles and the smoke haze, everyone looks a little better — right?
I can’t decide if I was more surprised by the 4 über-​pregnant women in the bar. 3 were patrons and 1 was working! Or, the two dudes camped at the bar from «the National Republic of Africa» who claimed their names were «Alfonse & Chocolate». Between the two of them they hit on every woman who walked by. I admire their tenacity, after 147 «no“s, they finally found a «yes».
It was a long night. I was there for over 5 hours and I had a blast. My clothes reeked so badly of smoke I had to wash them twice. The people watching was fantastic. The drinks were cheap and strong. I will be back.
