We are the bar that HAPPY HOUR was born in, in Indiana.

Food & drinks were really delicious! The brisket fries were my favorite. The brisket was tender and flavorful. The BBQ sauce had just the right amount of sweet & spice. The fries were crisp and held up perfectly. Our waitress did a great job. She was friendly and welcoming.
Nice local bar. Food was amazing! Great drink choices and cocktail selection. I will definitely come back the next time I visit Indy
Such a good stop!! Their pizza rolls drenched in garlic perm sauce are FIRE !! Such a great late night stop. Co workers and I come here all the time after work and we always have such a great time!
We love this bar! We live on the far north side of Indy and travel to the Whistlestop a couple times a month to hang out and have a few drinks. We've been coming here for years because the atmosphere is great...
Warm engaging service with a comfortable setting and great prices for a downtown establishment!!! Will be back everytime
