Ale Emporium

Indianapolis

American Restaurant

$$$$

The great Ale Emporium is a paradise for beer-fanatics, with over 200 micro- and macro-brews on tap, and plenty of bottled iterations as well. And while the place is renowned for its remarkable beer selection, the chef's famous wings -- lightly battered, marinated in your choice of buffalo, sweet BBQ or Spicy Teriyaki rub, and deep fried to perfection -- have garnered nearly as much acclaim. Beyond the wings, the menu offers everything from personal pizzas and grilled paninis, to burgers and cherry-topped hot fudge sundaes. Amidst a battery of large-scale chains and dingy sports bars, the ever-wonderful warm wooded Ale Emporium supplies Castleton locals with a space for live music, televised sporting events, craft beers, and a full roster of tasty, high-quality pub fare.
