Loughmiller's Pub & Eatery

In town for PRI and wanted a classic burger for dinner. Cool atmosphere (a little in booths acrossfrom the door in winter) , good service. Menu online is outdated. Reuben & fries were good, grilled chicken sandwich was good, the Jam Burger was decent, but the patty tasted like the frozen pre-made that just takes away from the rest of the burger. Fries & chili were also good, Peanut Butter pie was excellent.

Great place for a meal ! We were in Indianapolis for a week and always like to try the local fare when we travel. I read about the pork tenderloin sandwich and we found Loughmillers. We went in around lunch time so it was a little crowded but they were able to seat us. The bar is cozy and comfortable and the decor is great. The French onion soup was on point and the pork tenderloin was huge ! The food was fantastic and the service was great even though it was busy. We were seated by the window and wre even treated to a surprise snow squall while eating !

This local pub was recommended while in the city and I decided to check it out. I ordered the bacon jam burger, medium, after receiving a glowing recommendation from my server. Upon arrival, the food appeared well prepared. However when getting into the burger it was lackluster. The burger was overcooked and had zero flavor outside of the condiment I placed on it. The description provided included a red wine reduction sauce covered in smoked Gouda cheese etc. The crinkle fries while cooked well, crisp, were certainly out of a bag. I also added a piece of peanut butter pie as it was also recommended. The pie was smooth and was covered with what appeared to be a store purchased chocolate sauce. The service I received was fantastic. My server, Nicole was amazing and had great knowledge of the menu and recipe construction. I just wish the food matched her description. If you are looking for a homemade menu, I would pass. If you are looking for a quick, and kind experience and don’t care about the food, this should be your place. Food price was to be expected, and I did not feel it was overpriced.

5 stars due to the AMAZING service of Niki…. she is a fantastic waitress & definitely deserves a raise! She is so outgoing, personable, & goes above & beyond. The bar food & drinks are also very good… Thank you!

It was perfect for what I was looking for after a long day of exploring Indianapolis. A local had suggested I try a pork loin sandwich, and I was not disappointed. The pork loin itself was about three times bigger than the bread came on. I elected to have mine fried rather than grilled, it had a delicious crispy fried coating with a delightful seasoning, not too salty or overly breaded. I had a side of coleslaw to go with it, very tasty. The service was very good, the pub was, well a pub.Again, just what I was looking for, would recommend if you’re looking for a casual pub with good food and good service.

we had made a reservation for 45 people, which they accepted, a little over a week ago. giving the restaraunt PLENTY of time to figure stuff out. when we got there, we were greeted with a slight attitude. okay cool, its okay. its a big party. understandable. youre going to be stressed out. as the night went on, whole tables were waiting on refills for over a half hour at a time. food was being given to the wrong tables, some food wasnt being brought out at all, some food was coming to the table wrong. when stuff started being said, we were given an even bigger attitude. then our server told us that she was being yelled at by everyone and she was "so done". that is not something that needs to be said to you're table. hospitality is not something that this restaurant seems to be good at. I then asked to speak to a manager and the bar tender said "good luck". I spoke with the manager and told her I wasn't trying to be mean in any way, and she also responded with attitude. She asked where I was seated and I told her I was with the party. She then proceeded to tell me "okay, well 45 people is a LOT for two people. We are trying" and rolled her eyes at me. I'm sorry, but you had a little over a week to get it figured out. If you know you're servers are not capable of handling a party of that size, you should have either put more servers on for the party or told us that you couldn't accept a party that big. We've been ignored pretty much all night unless she absolutely needed to be here. Half of the time she wasn't even dropping off her own food to her tables. You can very clearly see that she was overwhelmed, which I understand. But there is no reason under the sun that any of us should have been treated the way that we were. I do not recommend coming here if you have big parties. The food was mediocre at best. Fries were cold, soups took FOREVER to come out, we had to remind multiple times for sides, it just overall was not a good experience. Every single person in our party left disappointed and upset. Some didn't even eat most of their food because it wasnt up to par. Then, at the end of the night, we waited well over 15 minutes for our checks that weren't even correct. Our server also didn't put their real names on our checks. Their "names" were Dave L. There was also an automatic 20% gratuity, which we did not appreciate. I'm not even sure we would have tipped 10%. This was by far the WORST dining experience I've ever had and I've been in good service for a couple years now. There is a certain standard that is expected when people go out to eat, and this wasn't even close to that standard. We also found out that one of our servers was brand new to the restaurant. You need to learn how to treat your staff with respect. And your customers. There is no reason the manager should have had an attitude when and issue was brought up. You need to be willing to change to be better.

We had a great time and meal at Loughmiller's Pub. Our server Duane was fantastic, as was the manager Carrie. We had a few glasses of wine, beer, the Roast Beef Dip with a side salad, and Fish and Chips with a cup of chili - all were first rate! When Duane mentioned the peanut butter pie, we had to go for desert! The service was impeccable and the bar had a great welcoming atmosphere. We will be back!

This place is awesome bartenders Carry and Scott are some of the best in the business. Always make you feel welcome and provide some great entertainment! Never had anything bad to eat here either. Staff is amazing and always willing to help each other.

An amazing cool Bar to stop at when u get to DT Indy , waitress is very helpful with anything in the area. The Service was quick and on point The drinks were excellent. The Ambiance was Old school Irish bar all wood looking and clean..TV's everywhere for sports. Everyone was friendly and fun. Went back the next day for lunch loved it Pronounced "Lock-Millers" lol even bought a shirt.

When my friends and I from the Lou come into Indy for a show at the Ampitheater, we have made it a tradition to stop here for a pint. Yes, I'm suddenly saying pint instead of beer, because this place just calls for some old world respect :) The service is always quick, efficient, and ridiculously friendly. The vibe is casual. They give you a plastic cup for your beer so you can walk down Washington en-route to the show! And they have some really great local beers on the menu.

Great bartender. Quick and easy place for a beer at a reasonable price away from the more downtown area. All firefighter decor, very cool. Will return when in Indy. Great place for a local beer before going to an Indians game at Victory Park.

Great service, super convenient location when I stayed nearby. Food was good, cocktails were great!

After a long day traveling, this was exactly what was wanted. Near the convention center downtown, not too pricy, burgers, beer. They've clearly been serving the GenCon crowd for a few years and seemed ready for the influx of nerds. They even sell a themed t-shirt (nerds love merch). I liked the wall of firefighter patches. May or may not wind up here again in these 4 days.

The service may have been off that day, it seemed like servers didn't know where to seat us. The outdoor patio was lovely. We only had drinks and they were great.

Great place and wonderful service,the a was very nice and the music wasn't super loud just in the background at a volume where you could carry on a conversation. Very highly recommend

Stopped in here for a burger during a conference at a nearby hotel. Food and service were great. We saw a lot of folks from the same conference eating there. Very casual atmosphere. Great place for watching a game or just meeting up with friends.

Stopped in for cocktails after IU Indy Graduation! Although it was near closing time, Taylor and Carrie went out of their way to make us feel welcome! If you haven't been there, it's a great place to meet up with friends and enjoy great company!

Pretty decent pub. Up the street from my hotel I wanted some mozzarella sticks but that's just it lol they were pretty basic. The mocktail was good. People were friendly. Really chill vibe and the set up was nice

Service was friendly and fast. The food was heavy but that's the vibe at most pubs. A very classic and local pub experience and ambiance. My burger was good with Swiss and provolone cheese. My friend got the Buffalo chicken sandwich which was HUGE and had a spicy kick. Another two of my friends had a fruity pomegranate and lemonade drink that was amazing. They had to stop themselves from downing the drinks in one go it was so yummy. Good place to stop by in Indy. Also has outdoor seating! But the price was a bit too expensive for the experience but I guess that comes with being in downtown.

Horribly slow service. Whoever is overseeing the kitchen flow needs help. Hoping the food at least is decent. I'm now late for my meeting. Never got an apology for waiting 40 minutes for our food. A joke is always nice to lighten the mood, but a sincere apology to go with it is probably the most important thing. I'm sure they've had better days. Today was not one of them. It happens.

We're from Maryland stopped here for lunch. Great local pub for lunch. There were 10 of us. One friend had the English Beef with applesauce which she said was delicious. Another friend had Ruben, chili . Couple of us had the bacon jam burger, great burger and fries, yummy ate everything. One person had a taco salad that interestingly enough looked very much like a frito pie. Thank you Corky, service was great.

You can't visit Indianapolis without having a Pork Tenderloin sandwich. Yelp ranked Loughmiller's as having one of the best in town. It lived up to the hype. The staff was friendly, and attentive. The service was great.

Maybe 2 1/2. We got there a little bit after 10 and the kitchen was closed. No problem that the kitchen was closed, except for the fact that soon as we walked in, they told us the kitchen was closed, as I was walking to the back, we were told the kitchen was closed, when we sat down The waitress first thing out of her mouth not out can I help you kitchen is closed. It was 100% like they were not interested in having you there and they thought the kitchen being closed would keep you from staying. We ended up with about 15 people in there and you would've thought they were excited to have that. The waitress will certainly not accommodating at all throughout the night. I fully understand it was a very busy weekend with a lot of sport activity down there, but it seems like if you're in the service industry, that is a great opportunity to make more money than an average night . The kitchen closed and I heard other groups ask if they could order some pizzas because there was a group on the outdoor patio probably 50 and you would've thought they asked to bring in their own bottle of liquor. I also know that group of 50 out on the back Was trying to talk and having somebody speak for a few moments and they ask if they could turn the music down in the bartender didn't even entertain the idea or seem sorry that they couldn't.

Classic pub, done very well. It's clearly pub food, but it's very yummy while not adding frills. Good flavor beyond just salty, which is rarer than it should be! Really friendly staff. Nice bar vibe. Never a bad choice!

Who doesn't love a good pub? Solid 4 stars for this place. Ambiance was perfect and warm after getting out of a blizzard. Was sat quickly and only w the intention of grabbing a quick burger. Opted for something w fried onions, bbq sauce and bacon and it was delicious. Burger seemed above average but perhaps some of the fixins and condiments not so much. All in all, solid meal. Oh and they had Coke Zero. Huge plus for that. Cuz fuck Diet Coke. Service was awesome. Don't rememebr any names but I wanted for nothing and was taken care of impeccably. Wouldn't hesitate to grab another meal there.

Atmosphere is relaxed, servers and bartenders are great. Food is solid; feels like a place locals come for a drink and a bite before activities down in the city. Been twice, the Buffalo chicken sandwich was outstanding . Beers I recalled were tasty but don't remember which ones I ordered as it's been nearly two years. Grilled chicken sandwich Cajun style was a bit overcooked but still tasty. The chilly was good and not spicy. I'll come back after a good workout and get more traditional meals like the Buffalo chicken or a burger.

Mariah was a great server. She recommended the fish and chips and they were delicious. A different server brought them out and didn't think my fish strip was big enough so they brought out a 2nd whole plate. It was so much food, I'm happy to have leftovers now. Really great service and vibes!

Great Food ! Great Atmosphere ! Great Service ! My wife & I were in for a bite & refreshment ! Great Prices & Large Portions ! I had the Legendary Ruben My wife had her favorite the French Dip Hoagie ! Delicious ! We stop by anytime we're in town ! You will NOT be disappointed ! Stop IN Today !

Great service and friendly atmosphere. Perfect place to grab a drink and dinner before a concert at the Everwise concert venue!

The staff is very kind and the service is quick. The inside is similar to an old pub. Such a great environment. The Bacon Jam Burger was very good. I highly recommend this establishment when you're downtown Indy.

There is a nice patio to sit and people watch walking down the street. The service was great. She was very attentive to coming by the table to see if I needed anything

Longstanding favorite in downtown Indianapolis. If you prefer a local option to the corporate chains or overpriced hotel restaurants and bars, this little spot remains unpretentious and welcoming. Food is not exceptional but honest. Have a Guinness and talk to a stranger.

Having this pub right outside of the hotel made it a super convenient spot to grab a meal with my mom and grandma before the marathon! I just ate chicken and rice to keep it safe, but the burgers and french onion soup looked amazing here!! It's definitely worth a try if you're in the area

Great local spot for drinks and eats. Very convenient for convention show attendees. Fun and friendly staff.

Great ambiance. Good burgers, pulled pork.. Good selection of beers, ipa's ales. They don't have appetizers

Monica our server was great. She provided excellent service. The food was great. We will be back . The environment was friendly and accommodating.

The food was probably more like a 3 star, but the local charm and the great service made it a 4 star lunch. We kept it simple - we had a pork tenderloin sandwich, a Southwest salad and we shared an order of the Chili Cheese nachos ... which our server happily converted into Chili Cheese fries upon our request. Striking up a pleasant conversation with the strangers sitting at the table next to us just added to the enjoyment of the meal.

We were at a conference and went to lunch at Loughmiller's Pub yesterday. We were charged one dollar more than what was shown on the menu for each of our two meals. When we pointed out the error to the waitress, she removed the extra charge but the manager did not come out to apologize or make amends. An error on one meal is plausible. An upcharge of a dollar on each meal... not so much.

As an Indy native, I'm embarrassed to say I'd never tried this place or heard of it. Perhaps because I moved 20 years ago before I was of legal drinking age. Anyway, in town for the weekend and this would scratch my breaded pork tenderloin itch. Perfect sandwich that reminded me I was home, with wonderful, charming Hoosier service that also reminded me I was home. Basically, I started singing "back home again.." to myself. It was super busy before a game but the hustle was on and the entire place delivered. this place.

Solid bar not too far from the museums and government center. I popped in to wait out rain and was pleasantly surprised. The bartender was very friendly and easily recommended a drink based on my go-to faves. Ordered some whiskey, cider, and chicken nachos, chatted up a guy there for a conference, and had myself a nice time while the weather cleared.

The staff is amazing here. Stopped by to watch the Stars playoff game last night and noticed the attention to detail on service and cleanliness. Kodos to them. Fair pricing on drinks and bevs. A few folks having a hell of a time but I don't mind it. Been there done it. Great place to hang out. Back tonight for a few and same thing but different faces. I'll be back next visit to Indy.

Came in for late snack / dinner during convention Service always great at the bar Pepperjack cheese bits are a great starter Had chicken bites w Asian chili sauce which were tender and tasty This is simply great comfort/ bar food in a terrific pub style atmosphere

I had the bacon jam burger & substituted the beef patty for the turkey burger. This burger was so delicious. Moist & full of flavor. The fries were fries. Our waiter was nice & friendly. The atmosphere was also nice.

Food was lukewarm- bacon jam cheeseburger had little I any bacon flavor- fries were cold.

The service was honestly the worst part. I've worked in customer service since I started working as a teen (including food service) so it's very hard to make me say this. However nothing is more frustrating to me than someone just blatantly not doing their job. Our waitress was the taller lady with dyed red hair and glasses. After she got us our waters she proceeded to sit in the back corner booth on her phone for just under 15 minutes before coming up to ask if we wanted to order. Meanwhile there was maybe 2-3 other tables in the restaurant that the shorter darker haired woman who was working tonight was tending to. Not once did she have a chance to sit down. I really wish she had been our waitress. Once our waitress put in our order she sat right back down in that back booth on her phone for another 15-20 minutes as it was getting busier. Had she been 30 seconds later on coming to take our order we would've already had walked out. The food was pretty good other than that, nothing special.

Food was awesome and totally worth the $15. There was so much food for the price, and everything tasted great. Our waitress was a total sweetheart and was very attentive as well (think her name was Nana or something like that, but she was great). Would totally come back if I were in the Indy area.

Mediocre experience. Food was meh. Waitstaff was less than enthusiastic and not attentive. Seemed like we were bothering them. Beer was cold and the fries were hot. Otherwise, not impressed.

Fish and chips AMAZING the Coleslaw delicious. Cheese bites delicious. Service great. Prices very reasonable. Sport bar atmosphere great. We will return the next time here.

This place is great. Good beer selection and great food. Very nice atmosphere and Scott the bar tender is a lot of fun.

An easy recommendation for those seeking good pub style eats in the downtown Indy area! Stopped in during a lunch break with a couple brothers-in-law the other day. The place was well filled, yet we were able to get seated right away outside during favorable weather. Despite the lunch rush, our server was very attentive, and we were served in more than reasonable timing. I had a buffalo chicken sandwich, which was juicy, tender and well made. The gentlemen I ate with seemed to enjoy their sandwiches as well. Although we were inside only for a moment, the interior seems very clean with good decor. The seating outside is nice and quiet for being downtown, with a good amount of shade. Certainly a great eatery for those in the mood for pub chow, and looking to not break the bank like some other downtown spots!

Work locally so have come here several times in the last year and a half. It can be hit or miss. Lunch time is very very busy, so seating can be tough. It's a small space. The outdoor seating can be nice on a nice day but it's not super comfortable as its lawn chairs and tables are close together. The food I've had ranked by best to worst: 1. Tenderloin - can't go wrong with an Indiana tenderloin. Fries are good but they're just your standard frozen crinkle cut fries. 2. Indiana Cobb Salad - good! I swap out the poppyseed dressing for ranch, naturally. 3. Taco Salad - eh. Could be good with some tweaks. I like Fritos but about midway through the salad my mouth is shredded and the shredded lettuce is wet and soggy (hot chili on lettuce isn't super ideal). 4. Bacon jam burger - I don't understand why this is so popular? The butter patties seem like frozen patties with little to no seasoning. The "bacon jam" seems to just be sautéed onions and bacon? That is not jam. People expect something sweet/sticky/concentrated flavor. We thought they forgot it on our burger but when they brought a small bowl of it (like 15 min after asking for it) we realized it was on there it was just bland l, basically steamed bacon.

The food is ok. The location is good. The server made a mistake with my beer, so they gave me a free one.

Great burger and service. It feels like a nice at home bar. The French Onion soup and Bacon Jam burger were great

We waited a ridiculously long time (over an hour) for mediocre bar food. The staff was super apologetic and very kind. This place needs to employ more people and support the ones who are there. It was chaos. We witnessed 4 groups of people sit down, wait, and leave frustrated when no one even acknowledged their existence.

Great location. The outdoor patio was pleasant. Customer service was slower than expected during the lunch hour. Refills and a follow-up after the meals arrived would have improved the experience. The plastic chairs were unstable.

Wonderful Restaurant!! The food was delicious and the Guinness was fresh and proper!! I make it a point to come here , whenever I am in Indianapolis

They could improve the service and when we came for the eras tour the service was awful and the servers could not get it together.
