This is my go-to casual/dive bar! The location is great and there's plenty of space both inside and out. I especially love their large patio in the warmer months when they often have live music on the stage outside. They food is surprisingly tasty for your classic bar food. Will visit again and again!

Great food! Loved the Tenderloin sandwich and also loved the fried Mushroom appetizer. Boyfriend said his wings were excellent. Ate at the bar and the bartender Stan was very attentive and only top of his game! Great casual feeling to the place,and they welcome everyone.

Classic Virginia Avenue bar. Live music. Great service. Solid food. Perfect location. Lots of outdoor seating. You can sit in the new side and play trivia or sit in the old side and talk to a local drunk. Pretty much always come here prior to going to the Hifi. Highly recommend.

The patio alone is enough to make me go to the Dugout Bar! Big enough for all your needs. It is a self-seating type of place with delish food and face service. We got our food just 10 minutes after ordering even though there were large parties all around us. I'll definitely be back

Dugout is one of our favorites spots & after last nights visit- the mozzarella sticks alone deserve a 5 star review. We went for the Pacers Playoff game 6, place was packed, but service was excellent. Drinks were strong, the food was even better. They had mozzarella sticks as a special which are my kryptonite. I wish I would've gotten a photo of the cheese pull...it was the best pull I've seen and the best mozzarella sticks. The live music was also great which ended as the game started.

Dugout has long been on my list of bars to try but I never got the opportunity to until this Friday while trying to post up for the Purdue game. Drink specials are phenomenal, $9 pitchers of either Yuengling or Miller Lite is a steal. The bar food is pretty decent as well so if you get hungry I recommend the pizza as it too is reasonably priced. Overall this is a top spot to watch sports, no shortage of tvs and room to post up. Obviously you don't want to show up too close to tipoff because it will be standing room only.

Always love coming here. They have the best patio section in downtown Indy. For the outside patio. They now have clear signage of areas that are outside with weight staff versus outside areas. Where you can Serve yourself. They will start to have live music outside here soon once the weather warms up. Today I got the fried ravioli to share with a friend and a 7 inch personal pan pizza. The small personal size is a perfect amount for one person. Pro tip: if you want a little spice, you should ask for jalapeños on the side. It seems to be less spicy, then having them piled and baked into your pizza. The pizza shown in the pictures is chicken, bacon, onions, and green peppers .
