Twenty Tap Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

  • Chris H.

    They have twenty beers on tap and delicious food. I'm not sure it gets much better than this. The quality of food, service, and atmosphere all combine with great beer and not-your-typical-broad-ripple-pricing to make Twenty Tap one of the best locations to gather with friends and enjoy some pints. My fiancee and I happened to decide on trying the place out for the beer. We did not have high expectations when we ordered the food, but after receiving our appetizer basket of fries, I think we were both hooked. (Be cautioned that their fries are fantastic and addictive!) She always like to order on the lighter side and get something that has a modicum of nutritional value, which usually leaves her disappointed when the only thing to order is an iceberg salad. Twenty Tap was already well-prepared for her, however, with a great tasting vegetarian (tofu) sandwich and a side salad that was worthy of a 4-5 star restaurant. I am the guy with beef on the mind and grease in my veins, I can assure you that their burgers are quality. Vegetarian Friendly, Beefatarian Friendly, and great beer!

    Damn good food, and damn good beer. Love the emphasis on local products. Had a burger and salad that were both delicious. $4.75 a pint is a little steep (I'm cheap), but the $3.50 pints on Tuesdays is a hell of a deal considering the selection they've got.

    Twenty Tap is a great addition to the So-Bro neighborhood, and is a good alternative to the smokey scene next door. While they do not have the largest selection of beers on tap in town, I will say that it's the most eclectic choice of craft beers in the area. If you're not a big beer drinker, and don't know your way from a Pilsner to a stout to an IPA, don't worry, the employees are very knowledgeable and are more than happy to pour you a taste. This was our first visit, and to my wife's surprise I did not check out the Yelp review in advance (I know, shame on me). As a result we had dinner across the street before hand. Next time I'll be sure to come with an appetite as the options on the menu look deeelicious. Though we had just come from dinner, it was hard for me to pass up ordering the seasoned fries paired with garlic aioli, and a horesradish dipping sauce. My only complaint is the lack of seating in the bar area. There's a large portion taken up by two dart boards, and while I myself am a big fan of the game, I'd venture to guess that patrons would still stop by to have a pint even they weren't there. I'm sure the owners would even see an increase in business if more seating were available. Just my two cents...

    Great burgers. Their roasted beet salad is especially tasty & plenty enough to share. This was our second time there. Even though we waited a long time for a table, the servers were way more friendly than they were behind the bar. In fact we had decided that if the service had been as unfriendly this visit we wouldn't return no mater how good the food. Luckily we had a better experience.

  • Matt F.

    Great beer selection with taps of Stone, Founders, Peoples, Brugge, Two Brothers, Upland, and more. Friendly bartenders. Food was not on our agenda so I can't comment on the grub. It sounds like they have some good choices, however, so we'll be back. Based on the beer selection, this will be on the list of places to stop when looking for good draft beer in the Broad Ripple area.

  • Neesha M.

    Two things I have to say: 1) The Banh Mi is in running for the best vegetarian sandwich in town. Vegetarian Batali (a la Goose the Market), watch out! 2) The waitress with the blonde dreds: SUPER nice today. Maybe the feedback has been heard, but the change leaves me nothing to be upset about :)

    A warm welcome from the hostess started our experience quite nicely. We were seated at a booth and promptly visited by our waitress, who had a casual and helpful approach throughout the meal. Great beer selection, which is kind of the point. Our group found plenty to enjoy, although the People's Pilsner tasted a bit like an IPA in its hop levels. I do wish they would include a sour beer in their choices, particularly to go with their fried menu items. I also recommend ordering the smaller beer portions - you can sample more that way without getting shlockered. I ordered their house-made black bean burger. Our waitress was still learning the details of the menu and, when asked about what was in the burger beyond the black beans, she readily inquired with the kitchen and delivered our answer. Many restaurants are happy to unthaw a GardenBurger or other pre-made choice, so I really appreciate a burger made in house. Twenty Tap's is yummy, though mine was perhaps a bit overcooked on one side. The folks with me ordered burgers (well-received, though some debate about the difference between medium and medium-rare...) and the deluxe grilled cheese. For the grilled cheese, the kitchen happily subbed the normal cheese choice with gruyere (why don't restaurants start with gruyere for grilled cheese? - it's such a good melty cheese). The fries were respectable. The house salad side was surprisingly good. No dessert was needed after our perfectly-sized portions - not too much, not too little. But we'll definitely try some of the rest of the menu - which had solid vegetarian choices, as well as a vegan banh mi - and the apps next time. Only little negatives, beyond staff getting acclimated on the first week: it gets pretty noisy in there and seating fills up quickly. Going off peak hours is recommended.

    Great beer selection, plenty of microbrews with a focus on local stuff. Food was outstanding - honestly one of the best turkey burgers I've ever tasted. Deluxe grilled cheese with tomato and spinach was also unbelievable. I love places that have an identity and stick to it. The menu has something for everyone, yet is compact enough you know they stick to what they specialize in (burgers, sandwiches, appetizers). Our service was absolutely outstanding - our waitress told us about the beers, offered samples, made food recommendations and was never more than a step away when we needed her. Went on a Saturday afternoon and were seated right away in a big, comfortable booth. I've heard it can get busy at peak times but that's to be expected from a new place that gets great reviews. There's always plenty of parking around that part of town. I can't wait to go back.

    I went here on whim with a small group because we wanted to do a beer sampling. For 6 dollars you can get 3 mini sized glasses. They have a large selection of microbrews (hence twenty tap) and it's truly a beer aficionado's paradise. Also, the bartender was friendly and you could tell that she enjoyed working here. I haven't tried their food but I've heard it good. From looking at the menu they appear to have a pretty typical pub-like options. If I could make one complaint it's that it can get pretty loud if there's a bunch of people chatting loudly and yelling at the TV. Also, and this is kind of a weird comment, but it seems to be a tad too bright in there for a bar/restaurant. Anyways regardless this is a great and welcomed business in the neighborhood. You'll have fun.

    Great bar, but more importantly, great bartenders. I went in and asked for a beer recommendation, and they served me up a glass of pure ambrosia. It was a beer so delicate and tasty I could swish it in my mouth for days without it getting sour. Their selection is amazing, the atmosphere is nice, if a little crowded. But what do you expect for a place like this?

  • Robbie R.

    After reading all of the great reviews I though I would check it out today. The the beer was great (Brugge Black) the fries were just okay (frozen not fresh) and the burger was just okay. The burger was a little undercooked for my taste, there was nothing special about the bun or toppings. The meat was fresh and had a great taste to it though. But for $18 (including tip) for a burger, fries and a beer there are several better and less expensive choices in Indy and the immediate area. I will also say that the bartender was very friendly and attentive.

  • Danielle T.

    The burgers are the bomb. The cheese curds might be made of crack. And, the beer selection is always delightful. Plus, I don't think I'd feel weird showing up to the place in sweat pants, so that always adds a star on my scale. Awesome.

    I really want to like this place, however, until Twenty Tap does something about the acoustics in the bar section I may have to stay away. We had a couple of beers the other night and a sandwich and the bar was busy but not really busy, however, it sounded like the place was packed due to how loud it was in there from everyone's voice bouncing off the walls and ceiling. I even spoke to a owner of another local bar / eatery and he commented on how loud it was and that something needs to be done. Okay, on to the BEER, great selection of beer, a lot of the beer is from Indiana, however not all, so if you are looking for a place to try out some of Indiana's great breweries (i.e. Upland, Three Floyds, Sun King and New Albanian) this is one of the places in Indy to go (the other is the Tomlinson Tap room located downtown in the City Market.) As for food, I had the pressed Cuban sandwich and fries, I'll give this sandwich a 5+ stars!!! The bartender(s) were pleasant a polite, I wanted a really hoppy beer and didn't know what to order so she gave a free sample of three beers to try, I'll give the bartenders 5+ stars. Twenty Tap is a going to be a great place to hang and have a few pints, once they take care of the acoustics.

    Service is amateur - My girlfriend here and told me I would really like it. We stopped in one weekday evening around 9-ish. We sat at the bar. Ordered a beers and then ordered a couple burgers. Everything was nice, until we got our burgers. Both of our burgers were cooked medium. We like them cooked a bit more than that. Not a big deal, so we asked for our burgers to be remade. The bartender, a tall woman, told us that all of their burgers were cooked medium, unless requested differently. Ok, that's a first. Wish we would have been told that. Now mind you, our burgers were pretty stacked with toppings. Then the bartender said, "So do you want me to these back on the grill?" Our bartender was noticeable annoyed with us. My girl said no, and I said yes. Then told here never mind. We got the burgers taken off. Then right before we are about to walk away, the snooty bartender returns with just my burger remade and asked me if wanted it. She still was copin an attitude with me. Really??? I got better service at the Ally Cat! Don't eat at the bar. Try the real setting. I don't know if the food is good, but beer selection was ok.

    Looking for a variant on our regular lunch date, my friend and I decided to scrap the patio at the 'chou in lieu of SoBro's newest addition: Twenty Tap. We opted to sit at the bar so that we could get a better feel for the beers and hopefully get an insider's guide to the menu from the bartender and other locals bellied up. The menu is a quick read but doesn't lack depth. We started w the Beer Battered Cheese Curds (a definite 'must' if you are a cheese addict like me) served w two of the house aiolis- we chose roasted garlic and horseradish. Both delicious. To compliment, I had the Tyranena Double Barrel Bourbon Beer which had a very well-rounded flavor and a fantastic hoppy-finish. A perfect pairing for the curds! For my meal, I decided on the Deluxe Grilled Cheese and had the kitchen add prosciutto. The sandwich was tasty, and very filling, but the star that stole the show was by far the house seasoned fries. The batter was light & crispy and the flavor delicious. Dip them in the house aiolis and you will be looking at an empty plate fast -- SO good. I will definitely be back in the future - if for no other reason than to enjoy some fries and a beer. The atmosphere needs to be worn in a bit, as it feels similar to a stale Applebees w/o all the flare on the walls, but in time I have full confidence that TT's patrons will add a twist of their own.

    You have to try the cheese-curds, absolutely delicious. The rest of their food that I have tried was just average, but they do have a great selection of beers.

    Twenty Tap has more than 20 taps now, but it's still a great place to grab a vegan bahn mi and a great craft beer option. They have all kinds of taps ranging from dry hard ciders to imperial stouts (in the Summer too!). The staff is well trained and knowledgeable about the beers and will help you find that perfect pint. I highly recommend checking out the cheese curds and my husband loves the burgers here.

  • Colleen D.

    I'm so happy this place is here. Great beer and a great environment. I've come here for beers with friends and for dinner and loved it every time. You should know that its a very relaxed atmosphere, and I don't think the waiters work here because their dream job was waiting tables. Will the service be a bit slow, yes. Will they see your empty water glass and assume you want more, probably not. But will they be very friendly and knowledgeable about the beer? yes. The last time I went, we got the pickle chips which were great but maybe a bit too much food for 2 people and the vegan bahn mi which was great. I could only eat half (too many fried pickles) but I took the other half home and at it for lunch the next day and it was even better! You sit close to the other patrons, but I like the small pub feeling of that so it wasn't an issue.

    The excellent well-placed plethora of electric sockets is a testament to the attention to detail of Twenty Tap. A weird opening statement? Maybe. Consider the intersection of day long drinking and beer... and the relationship of beer and remembering to charge a phone. Whether this was happenstance for the biz owner to get awesome outlet placement at nearly every booth... well I don't care... it's awesome. Also consider the potential of plugging in a laptop and working at a booth or scoring fantasy points while watching games. At first glance I thought, "hmmm... twenty taps of beer... I've seen twenty taps of beer before. What's the big idea?" Then I saw their tap list and I got the point. I don't think there was a tap from outside the Midwest, and most of the taps are Indiana beers. The most splendid tap though on my first visit... Tyreanena (sp?) 's Rocky Revenge: a bourbon barrel aged brown. Both times I let the kitchen decide how to cook the burger... it was overcooked. Albeit good... an overcooked burger can be a bummer. Now I know to be particular in my order. The fries taste like they've been manufactured in animal fat (read: like OG McD's) and to me that's fun, and good. By no means is this the best burger in town. More serviceable burger than the craft burger it wants to be. (Yes, I'm parsing here... so said parsing shouldn't overshadow the fact this burger + their beer options = a thoroughly satisfying meal outside the home.) I haven't had anything beyond burger, fries, beer. Oh, wait, I had boiled peanuts -- and once doused in salt or pepper they'd be even better than plain I'd assume. They also serve Upper Crust pie (which apparently is a nunnery turned piemakery), and it's delicious. Let's consider something odd on this menu: burgers are $9, other meat sandwiches are $9 and the mushroom reuben is $9 (and the tofu banh mi is $8). This pricing seems askew to the rules of the marketplace. How much would a pastrami reuben then be -- $9? This warps the value system. On one hand this makes the burger seem like a great value while I would feel like I'm overpaying if I buy a mushroom sandwich. Then, consider banh mi sandwiches at your local Viet shop are $3, and so it's completely a bamboozling of WASPs to pay $8 for a tofu banh mi. Maybe consider a food happy hour for $3 banhi mi to balance this out? They've created a wonderfully accessible place for local suds for people who may not always be welcome to such beer, so Mission Accomplished in that battle (but don't be too early to fly that banner on an air carrier -- consider a retooling of menu prices -- I'd even take a $11 burger that's bigger and more refined instead of a meager burger for $9). I'm no pricing expert... but I do know that if one spends too much time parsing dollars and decisions on a menu (which then creates raised expectations of food quality because the time involved is greater), the joy of an experience can be diminished even when the beer and service is unmatched. Rightly so, this seems like a very refined and well-tuned gateway for many to the world of craft beer bars & gastropubs. Softly lit with ample space, booths and darts -- along with a thought out draft list this is going to welcome many people who may not have ever considered Indiana beer into the awesome world of Indiana beer. For that I am massively thankful this place exists.

    kind of a hipster hangout (not that there's anything wrong with that) with a great fancy beer menu and good food. walk into a hostess stations, north side has eating booths (compliments to the high dividers, like the original bw3 in broad ripple used to be). light wood booths and flooring. south side is the bar with a few high tables towards the front, a bar with two sides, rounded on the corner, and stools/beer ledge along the wall. maybe 10-12 stools. bar back contains the long row of taps with brushed stainless background. above the taps are mirrors (installed higher than most people stand). finally above the mirrors are the beer menus (also have 8x11s on the bar). bar top is a nice medium wood. well lit the times whenever i've been here. friendly bartenders that are very helpful when choosing a beer. have many of the local beers. food is alright, but nothing to brag about. appetizers are better. though the bar has little character, it's good place to grab a beer on your way from downtown. could see being a regular if lived close enough. great addition to a growing intersection/area.

    Finally tried out Twenty Tap after hearing so many great reviews. Went with a couple adults and one 2 year old, so yes sorry to all the other people. However, he was given crayons and coloring paper which kept him busy for a while. We went around 5:45p on a Saturday night and only waited about 5 min for a spacious booth. When bringing a child, its nice to have the "family" side separate from the "bar" side although the layout is a tiny bit odd--can't place my finger on it, but still wanting to go without my nephew and check out the bar side. Tried two different flights--beers were great--good addition to a fun atmosphere. I will definitely be returning to this place for the great selection of Indiana beers. We all ordered burgers, mine being the black bean burger. My burger was just OK. Not bad, but nothing special to it--bun was nothing special and toppings were the same. The other meat burgers that were ordered were undercooked--asked for medium well and it was more like medium, but fresh meat and overall taste of everything was just OK. Fries are great-- and horseradish aioli is highly recommended. Overall, the atmosphere is fun and quaint for a neighborhood joint. Although there is no parking, you can either walk or just park near by and walk. Didn't notice any music...but that may be a good touch. Will definitely be returning for beer and maybe just appetizers.

    Out of nowhere, Twenty Tap has emerged as my go-to place for sandwiches. Have you had their super flavorful smoked tofu vegan bahn mi?? You must. You must!

  • Laurie B.

    Prepare to wait even on a weekday at 8pm. The beer was great, but food not so much. Our burgers were way overcooked and cheese curds were just ok. The atmosphere like previous reviewers mentioned was very noisy and made difficult for conversation. There were no kids when I was there, but would agree that this is definitely not a kid-friendly place.

    (2)

  • Julie M.

    Def the place to go to get a taste of all local brews. Also a small wine selection. Being small as it is and unfortunately they were out of one ( only 6 total ). Great selections for veggies and vegans. Impressed by the selection actually! Keep it up. This was my second visit and some of the kinks have been worked out with staff. The first time it seemed disorganized. But I'm always for giving a great local place a second try. Nice neighborhood feel. Smoke free. Bar seating separate from the dining area. I have high hopes for this little place!

  • Chris O.

    Since I first heard about this place, I'd been eagerly anticipating its opening. You had to take some initiative to learn about it, as they currently don't have a website or even a Facebook account -- just a Twitter account, which is kind of charming, really. I went the first night, which I realize is kind of taking a chance. I was surprised by how crowded it was; we arrived around 9:30 and had to wait a few minutes for a table, which was fine. It gave us a chance to look at the excellent beer list (mostly regional -- all Indiana except for Bells, Bluegrass and the oddball: Stone) and menu. Of the latter, you can expect essentially a delightful twist of a standard pub menu. Lots of creative and tempting burgers, excellent starters (pickled beets, fried cheese curds, pimento mac & cheese, etc) and maybe the best fries in town. I should point out that they seemed to be slightly understaffed -- perhaps they weren't expecting such a busy opening night, but they handled it like old pros. Never were we neglected and never did the servers appear stressed or flustered. The food was delicious. The burgers are grilled medium unless otherwise requested and mine was closer to medium rare. This was fine with me, but it could bother some people. If you're afraid of a little red in your burger, you should probably request it medium-well. I honestly think that this was just a first night glitch, though, and not something to be expected regularly. It was so good that I went back the next night and was even more impressed. The food and service were even better (it was our servers first night, though obviously not her first time in the service industry). These burgers are right up there with the best in town. Unless you want something over-the-top like The Sinking Ship's stuffed burger (delicious, by the way) or Bubs' massive big ugly, I'd say this is probably your place.

    So, we have tried to go twice since they opened and both times they were SO busy that we decided to come back at a later time. We finally went when they were not quite as busy. I ordered the turkey burger, $9, and it was really tasty. I ordered it on a bun, not on the english muffin it is supposed to come on. Whipped goat cheese and caramelized onions were great too. Anytime there is goat cheese involved, I have to give it a try. We also indulged in the beer cheese. UM, it is so LARRRRRGGGGEEEE... and is a great addition to the fries!

  • Bryan B.

    Great to see some life back in the old Northside News. I was very excited to see 20 tap open for a number of reasons especially because my office is about 50 feet away. The beer selection is great hands down and if you want a burger you will not be disappointed, but if you looking for something more you might be let down. I have had a few of their sandwiches and they have been good, but not great. I have to say that the NSN Reuben was better and I miss that sandwich. I would also like to see some bar tables instead of a third of the bar area being used for darts. Darts are great in theory but not when you have a bunch of drunk people trying to squeeze into a small space. Update 7/14/12 20 Tap has really gotten their act together and improved the food and beer options. Added a great new salad and some Vegan options not to mention the smothered fries. Great addition to the neighborhood and scary close to my office...dangerous!

    Twenty Tap is another great addition to the Midtown neighborhood. It's reasonably-priced, quality food. There are many vegetarian options and it is kid friendly (dining area is separate from bar). The bar could use more seating and ambiance. But it goes without saying that the beer selection is great! The wait staff is really friendly too!

    This place is rockin. Great beer selection and great sandwiches. I've tried a bunch of different beers here and have always been happy with the selection on tap. Since moving to Indy 9 months ago, I have been here more than any other beer bar in town because the beers and chill vibe are just that good. The only thing I would change is the weird setup of the bar. In order to get to the bar area you have to bypass a dart board. Just don't think this is a smart idea. Besides the obvious hazards of a sharp object to the eye, it takes up a lot of space in the bar area where there could be tables for people to sit down and have a couple beers. Instead, I would suggest nixing the dart board and putting some pub tables in that front area by the window. Additionally, after the dinner crowd leaves, the dining room is useless and could really be utilized for more seating. There have been a couple times that I stopped by for a beer only to find that i had to stand awkwardly in the middle of the room (dodging the darts!) without a place to put my coat or beer down. Thus, I had one beer and left instead of staying for a couple beers and a snack. One final request: add a few more interesting snack items besides fries and curds (which are awesome)!

    I thought I was entering a place that was more about beer than food. I was WRONG! The starter, Fried Cheese Curds with the aiolis was a great new take on fried cheese sticks. A little greasy but come on.... it's fried cheese after all. If you love fried cheese you gotta try this! The burger I had was excellent. Flavorful, juicy and nice and thick. I got the Italian and loved that they used Arugula for garnish and not a torn piece of Romaine or Iceburg. Definitely added just the right touch. My friend ordered The Wrath burger which was not as good as mine. His was rather dry and bland despite the cheese, mushrooms and onions. Although a small dining area, it didin't feel like the diners and tables were packed in. The wait staff was excellent. I never once saw a server not constantly looking around keeping an eye on their tables. Friendly, casual and attentive service. That's not too common. Just what the 54th & College neighborhood needed!

    The food was great and the beer selection is outstanding, we had to fight for a seat at the bar but it was worth it! Looking forward to getting to spend more time here in the future, another great addition to the South Broadripple scene!

  • Allison B.

    I was really disappointed in the quality of the buns used for the 9$ burgers. Sometimes it is the little things, like using quality buns for what could have been a good burger. If I am not mistaken, I think they used pre frozen patties as well. Boo! The atmosphere was nice and the Oatmeal stout on tap was yummy. Wait staff was friendly. They need to use quality ingredients before I will eat there again.

    'Twenty Tap' makes local beer the obvious draw. Three Floyds, Peoples, New Albanian, Sun King, Bloomington, Bluegrass, Founders, Flat 12, Upland, Fountain Square and more are represented here. Owner Kevin Matalucci must be very well connected to offer Zombie Dust (even briefly) on tap. I've used the flight (3 six ounce beers for $6) to maximize sampling and have thoroughly enjoyed the process. I've also enjoyed the Tuesday special on pints. The brew brought me in and the food ensures my return. I'm not a vegetarian but I tend to favor vegie selections when they are well represented. I had the Bahn Mi smoked tofu on my first visit and it was one of the best sandwiches I have had. I had the side salad which was incredible as well. On my next visit I had the Smoked Mushroom Rueben on rye and it was great. I selected the 3 bean salad and it was very good. I went with the vegie burger on my next visit. I thoroughly enjoyed it as well. I've returned three more times and I am rotating through the three vegie offerings and still prefer the Bahn Mi, then the Mushroom Reuben followed by the vegie burger. I talked with the bar tender co-owner and understand that they will ad more vegie slections in the future. Service has consistently improved over the month or so that I have been supporting this establishment. Everyone has been pleasant and interested in making it a positive experience. In all visits the bar tender or another stepped in to assist. I enjoyed the layout and simple decor.

    When Twenty Tap first opened up, I was a little bit skeptical about its success. I had heard various rumors that it was an Indiana-only beer bar... a brew pub owned by the same people as that other place... but what I ended up walking into was something that I seriously enjoyed. A few friends of mine from work as well as a few out of towners came in for some dinner and some beer. Once I saw the beer menu, I knew I had some work to do so I set out trying a few different brews I hadn't had before while splitting the cheese curds with everyone at the table. I don't care if you think you know what cheese curds are or aren't, these are awesome! Twenty Tap has plenty of vegetarian options, including the black bean burger that I had. I can't wait to go back and have another one! A little tip - since you have the option of sitting down to dinner and staying for a few drinks (or... a few hours if you absolutely MUST try 10 different beers... ahem...) make sure you're ok with a little bit of a wait if you're coming in for food later in the evening.

    I took a random day off work and decided to peep twenty tap for a brew and burger. The place was dead which was what i was hoping for arriving between lunch and dinner. I can see this place getting crowded as hell in the evening. They have an open area for darts for those who like to throw sharp things. They should probably add some small tables or a ledge on the wall opposite the bar on which people could set pints and stand around trying to look cool. The atmosphere is a bit weird, probably because the place is new and not broken in yet... and because it was bright as hell in there (the sun's fault). They have a great roster of beers and a nice simple menu. The Wrath burger was juicy and covered with mushrooms and bleu cheese sauce. I'm stoked that it was $9 with a side of fries. Too many places are trying to ruin my day by making me "upgrade" to fries. The fries reminded me of a mix between rally's fries and what i remember burger king fries tasting like after they switched up their fry style. There are a bunch of other burgers and sandwiches i look forward to trying. Something funny that happened during my visit was a cop coming in to yell at the beer delivery dude who had parked his truck on college totally blocking traffic. Cop was pissed, and i found it funny.

  • Guy Who Likes Sandwiches X.

    This review is coming solely from the perspective of a Northside News fan who was heartbroken when they closed down. NN's spicy Cuban was the best sandwich I think I've ever eaten, and for a while I was getting one of them a week. When I heard 20 Tap had moved in where Northside used to be and was making a spicy Cuban in their honor, I had to try it. So that sandwich almost alone is the subject of this review. I got it to go, so I have no thoughts on the service. Place looked nice enough for the minute I was there - certainly an improvement in decor and ambience over Northside News' look (which I would describe as disheveled hole-in-the-wall). My first thought on opening the box I received was, yay fries! 20 Tap makes strong french fries that I imagine would make a great companion to any sandwich. I try to steer clear of fries and chips usually for health reasons, but these were too good not to eat. Some kind of dipping sauce (like the many great ones at Brugge Brassiere) would have pushed things to another level, but maybe next time. On to the centerpiece though. If you were never lucky enough to enjoy Northside's spicy Cuban, let me explain. A traditional Cuban sandwich consists of thin-sliced (but not wispy) sweet cured ham, thin-sliced pork shoulder or loin with a particular flavor to it, Swiss cheese, sliced pickles, and mustard on buttered Cuban bread (a kissing cousin of French bread, but airier and better). The whole thing is pressed to become crunchy on the outside, melty and steamy on the inside, and just amazing. Northside's innovation (unique to them as far as I know) was to replace the Swiss with pepper jack and the mustard with Sriracha. Presto, the spicy Cuban. This combination was delicious in extremis to the point that it overruled all good sense and logic; I had to have them, as often as possible. It's not the hugeness that makes this sandwich, because it was never thick or overstuffed. It's just the amazing combination of flavors. 20 Tap's variant at a glance looks like the same thing, but it's not quite. The pepper jack, the ham, the pickles and the Sriracha are there. The pickles could have been more plentiful (you really want a layer - there should be pickle in every bite of a Cuban) but that is a minor nitpick. The bread is not as good as Northside's excellent Cuban bread - and I wish I knew where they got that stuff from - but it's close enough for horseshoes. No complaints. You can make a good Cuban on a few different types of bread, as long as they're sufficiently light to compress down, and crisp when they come off the press or grill. Their bread pulled this off, so I was happy. Two things did bring the sandwich down though. One is small and easy to fix: for some reason, they put mayo on it. Mayo? A good Cuban is not adulterated with such things. If I return (and I will), I'll definitely be asking for no mayo; it should be mustard only on the regular, or Sriracha only on the spicy (plus butter on both, of course). I know some people eat Cubans with mayo on them, but I'm not in that camp; the mustard is traditional because it's better, and Sriracha needs no companion. The other, more serious problem is the pork. This is the secret beating heart of a great Cuban sandwich and it's the only part of 20 Tap's version that was seriously wrong. Once in a bar in Lafayette I had an otherwise-standard Cuban made with BBQ pulled pork. It wasn't soaked in BBQ sauce but it was clearly flavored that way, and cooked that way - slow cooked with lots of water and then pulled or shredded. This not only changed the overall flavor, it entirely threw off the delicate balance of the sandwich. Cuban sliced pork isn't quite as strong-tasting as BBQ pulled pork, and the flavor is decidedly different, so it matches well with the ham and pickle. And as much as I love pulled pork in the right context - on a fluffy bun, in a smokehouse joint, sauce on the side - sliced pork is the better texture for this particular sandwich. Well, unfortunately 20 Tap has committed the same mistake with theirs. In both places I almost got the sense that the pork was made primarily for some other purpose (like a pulled pork sandwich) and was also used, secondarily and in an offhand manner, to fill out the Cuban. This is where they lost me a little bit. The best pork for this sandwich should be roasted in citrus juice (usually orange and lime) plus lots of onion and some garlic, and sliced thin; that's the model that works. If 20 Tap did so, their Cuban would be off-the-charts good. It would be nearly as good as that now-legendary best sandwich I ever ate. Overall, I think this place looks really promising, I love their fries, and I saw a burger while I was in there that looked like it was worth the future heart surgery. I'll definitely be back. And their Cuban is a very enjoyable sandwich - it's just not quite the sandwich I was hoping for. With any luck, they'll change that pork.

    Twenty Tap. Good as it is, no changes needed. A little loud when crowded. If you are snobbish and don't like being close to other people you may not be happy here. Two steel tip dart boards up front in the bar room which is nice. (Some people think its wrong to not have more tables there but the boards add for socializing and are a great benefit.) The staff are nice and put up with some closed minded people rather well. If you want white bread and a cookie cutter place go somewhere else. The menu is unique and you won't find things like this at any chain. Great spicy Cuban sandwich. Twenty taps of regional beer! The beer menu changes constantly because of it is difficult to keep up with demand. Ask your server for selections that are your preference; Belgian, hops, dark, wheat, sours, etc.. It is nice to have another place that allows and supports their staff in being their self; tattoos, piercing, dreads, yes. Give me personality! Oh and plenty of parking behind the office building two doors north.

    The more I go here, the more I like it. They have great burgers and the staff are really friendly! Excellent rotating beer selection. Great place. They are still working on the atmosphere, but either I'm getting used to it, or it has improved. I wish they had more seating though- there is often a wait to eat here now.

    Found this place while in town for the Indianapolis 500, reviews sounded good so we decided to check it out....exactly what we were looking for. We were there on a Friday night at 6 pm and when we drove up, it looked kind of small so we expected to wait especially given which weekend we were there. Hostess said about 30 minutes which even was a bit surprising but we found a couple spots at the bar and cancelled that. No wait at all. 25-30 beers on tap from all over the country (and world). Very impressive. We ordered cheese curds with hopes of getting dinner lately but they were quite filling so we just drank more beer. Not being from the Midwest never had true Midwestern curbs before but my friend from Wisconsin said these were just as good as any. Food looked really good too and the burgers huge. Nice little area with other little restaurants away from the city and the motor speedway too, would absolutely recommend.

    let me tell you... great beer selection and awesome cheese curds. I only got to taste the beer (three floyd's-gumball head and something grapefruit) because the other guys in the bachelor party ate all the cheese curds.

  • Alexandrea P.

    Good-amazing poutine, gravy, cheese curds and fries-on point and the beat I've had (though I've only had 3 poutine's. Good beers and sometimes great service. Great veggie burger, decent salads Bad: often a wait, mixes crowd of some hipsters, loud mouthed people, and randomly kids there which seems weird in a gastropub. Run out of beer early on, sometimes not great service. Owner is same as next doors Fat Dan'a which is a cooler give but missing some of the beers and food that makes twenty Tao great.

  • Christie M.

    I liked the variety of beers on tap. Correction my husband liked that part. My favorite is the cheese curds. The fake sriracha was not as spicy as the real stuff. Our waitress blew it when it came to ordering food. We ordered one app and she cut us off and took orders of the table next to us. Totally rude! Like ok, so you don't want me to order more food and spend more money? Do we look like poor college students or something? Ok done ranting. Did like sitting outside and catching up with our close friends. Liked the beers, cheese. My Cuban was soggy. Flavor is a little off.

    I love this place. It's got the feel of an old time pub. Today is sat across from a group of guys with varying ages, from 25-50, all enjoying a good drink, lively conversation and plenty of laughs. They seemed to epitomize the spirit of this place. A place you take all of your best buddies to to laugh, drink, and enjoy great food. Speaking of the food... The fried cheese curds are to die for. I personally am a big fan of the French Breakfast Burger- good good good!!! Their house fries are seasoned perfectly, and there is always good beer on tap. This place has everything I'm looking for in a casual have a beer and burger joint. I highly recommend!

  • Kelsey B.

    The chicken sandwich is mouthwatering! Both the service and the food here is excellent. Our server, Ryan, was very attentive and friendly. He recommended a burger that wasn't on the menu to my boyfriend, and we were both very satisfied with our meals. Also, try the one of a kind pineapple ale. It was a perfect pair.

    I finally found the secret to going to Twenty Tap and enjoying yourself...show up between 2 and 5pm. It's a LOT less crowded and you probably won't have to wait for a table. I've always loved the food but have generally been put off by the loudness and those weird 2-tops that are half booth and half table. Butts skimming pint glasses as people get in and out...not cool. We went Saturday and arrived at about 3:45. We were seated immediately and even got to choose our table! He had a pint of some porter, I had a flight which included 3 microbrews (a stout, a hefeweizen, and a scotch ale). All the beers were delicious. LOVE that you can get a 3-beer flight for $6 because I like to try all the beers but don't like to get drunk at lunch. We split the cheese curds, which are awesome, then split the spicy Cuban sandwich (a regular Cuban but with pepperjack subbed for swiss and sriracha added), also awesome, with awesome fries. We had a bottle of Sriracha on the side for dipping the curds in along with the garlic and chimichurri aiolis. Yum, yum, yum. Portions here are good-sized, so unless you have a monstrous appetite splitting an entree and an app between 2 people will likely be plenty of food. If you're still not full after your curds and such, Graeter's ice cream is just a few blocks away at 56th and Illinois. Crave: Cheese Curds, Cubans, Beers, Beer Cheese, Aiolis

    Things that are great here: -Beer selection. With a Pint of the Day for $3.50, plus a plethora (hint: more than twenty taps) of drafts from the Midwest and beyond, there's something for every palate. -Fried. Cheese. Curds. How have I lived my whole southern life without knowing these exist? It's like mozzarella sticks taken to a whole new chewy level. Amazing. Things that could improve: -Banh mi. Speaking frankly, here, banh mi should be on a French baguette so crispy and crunchy it hurts your teeth to bite it. This bread was more hot dog bun than baguette, and too soft to support the juicy pulled pork it encased. -Sauces. I really support what 20T is doing here with their variety of sauce options, but the ones I tried did not live up to the hype. The horseradish was underwhelming, to say the least--pretty much just a plain-jane aioli with zero kick. When I order horseradish, I want it to be a sinus bomb of flavor and heat; don't hold back. The sriracha sauce was great in theory, but when the bartender brings over a bottle of actual sriracha to accompany it, you know it won't be hot enough. The rosemary was by far the best, but even it could've been more herb-y. Sauces should be strong and flavor-filled and bold in small amounts to balance out their dipped counterparts. These just don't get there. Would still come back to try the other beers and the poutine, as well as for the cheese curds. The curds alone are worth a repeat trip.

  • Clare L.

    I'm not sure why I go anywhere else when I'm craving a brew and a burger. I've tried every burger on the menu and I think The Tex is my favorite. No wait... maybe its the Wrath? The fries that come with it are some of the best around - order some chipotle aioli to dip 'em in. Also can't go wrong with the pimento mac n cheese, poutine or beer battered cheese curds. Seriously EVERYTHING is delicious. The beer menu is impressive of course and even though it changes every time I come, if I don't know what I want, the friendly bartenders help out with that. Nikki is the best! Can you tell I love Twenty Tap?

    Came here on a weekend with some friends. The place was packed so we waited 40 minutes to get seated. Being a cheese curds fanatic, of course I had to order some as an appetizer. I had a crappy day earlier and was in a bad mood. But when I took my first bite, everything got miraculously better. The cheese curds were fresh, beautiful and delicious: the perfect combination of the crispy and gooey goodness. Suddenly the universe made sense again. These cheese curds are definitely the proof that God exists. Then we had a bunch of beer samples, which is a great deal to try new kinds. I think I ordered some kind of veggie sandwich, but I was too drunk to remember what it tasted like. Our waiter, Peter, was literally the best. I might have got his name wrong, but he's the guy with the awesome beard. He was patient, funny and basically the perfect waiter. Overall I had a very pleasant experience. The atmosphere and decor weren't my favorite, but that's not a big deal. Would come again next time I'm in Indy.

    Finally got the chance to check this place out! A few friends and I went there on a Thursday evening around 5:15. There was a street parking and a decent crowd but we beat the larger rush. The cheese curds are a must- you get your pick of sauces-I recommend the chimmichurri and the garlic aioli. I also tried the Mac and cheese -it was tasty, cheesy and had the option of bacon. The real highlight was the beer selection (hint, don't be fooled by the name-there are many more than twenty options) The burgers were a hit with my friends and there were also a lot of veggie/vegan options. Overall it's a solid place.

    Great food to eat. This is my 3rd time back at 30 tap, coming in town from Chicago for business. We had for appetizer the beer cheese curds were fresh and tasted great with the sauce.. Also the beets tasted wonderful when you are them with the red beet and another yellow beet, the combination of that with the lettuce and balsamic vinegar was a good mix. We also had the lettuce wrap with pork and it tasted great! The main sandwich I had was a Cuban sandwich which was out of this world. I would highly recommend this place for others to eat!!!

    Twenty Tap has amazing food, a great beer selection, and a fun atmosphere. I love the amount of vegetarian foods that they offer. I would absolutely recommend the mushroom Ruben. And cheese curds. You can't forget to order the cheese curds! We always have amazing service. My only complaint would be that I wish they could expand- there is a pretty long wait for a table on most weekends. Even so, the wait is worth it!

    We are obsessed!! Great staff, great food, both family friendly and a great place to go with just friends. I love the turkey burger and cheese curds with curried ketchup. My husband could eat the banh mi daily. I would recommend this to anyone.

  • Ron R.

    I love Twenty Tap...I have been here countless times and can't think of a single bad experience...therefore 5 stars! My go-to option for food is the Pulled Brisket....delicious heaping portion of Beef Brisket that I imagine was cooked in a slow cooker....tender and flavorful. The Cheese Curds I only get if there are several people there to split them with me...otherwise I'd eat the whole thing and make myself sick! :) My girlfriend typically gets the Bahn Mi which is great according to her...I've never been a huge fan of that sandwich regardless of who makes it. This time she got their daily special which was an Udon bowl with peanut sauce and mixed vegetables along with some fried tofu....I tried a bit and it was great. If you live in Indy...this place is a must try.

  • Diana M.

    I had shrimp and grits--delicious! My friends had fish tacos and brisket. Also excellent. Inventive menu with thoughtful ingredients. Great selection of beers and the waitstaff was very knowledgeable. I had the server recommend a 3 beer flight and he made great choices for me. The basement-brewed beer was also excellent. They were also very patient with our group (probably helped that it was a Tuesday night and not a busy Saturday) as we were yakking it up. The fried cheese curds were...fried cheese curds. I've had fresh cheese curds in Wisconsin, and it's really not the same thing. But we had no trouble finishing them, that's for sure!

  • Amanda B.

    First off, the cheese curds with the chimchurri aoli sauce are so good. If you enjoy a party in your mouth, you'll be happy. they have all kinds of different beer and the have pear cider, a personal favorite of mine, so I was a happy girl. I ate the French Breakfast burger, and it was good. I've had better and I've had worse, but all of their food options were interesting, and the seemed to have a decent selection of vegetarian options. It's definitely worth checking out, if only for the huge beer selection. Will return.

    Went here in the middle of the afternoon with a bunch of friends for some brews and snacks. Such a variety of beer! It was hard to pick! Our server was very knowledgable and was able to make great suggestions on what he thought we'd like. I order the melt for a sandwich. It wasn't the best patty melt I've had but it was pretty good. The jalapenos added something extra. I had a taste of my husband's cheese curds, they weren't that great. Super greasy and oily and I had my food for a good while longer than he did because they said they were behind on making cheese curds. I would probably go back for a snack and a beer. Definitely a beer.

    Where do you go when a snowstorm knocked out power to the city? Twenty Tap. Or at least that's where everyone is So Bro was on Monday, January 6th! Oh, if they were only double in size to accommodate all those wanting in! I waver between 3 & 4 stars for this alone. Each time we go, we're either waiting in a crowd at the door or one of those being stared down by someone eyeing our table. Just hope that you're not seated elbow to elbow next to a loud party. Well, it's very loud no matter where you sit. They could certainly benefit from some acoustic treatments. And that guy did really bump me while I ate. Weird. Don't take a soon to be ex here to break up unless you want the party next to you all up in your business. They can't help it (that is unless they're in a booth). Parking is well, like the wait and the seating. So why, do you ask, do I still go? The food is delicious! Everything on the menu is great. Really. Cheese curds, yes! Pimento mac & cheese? YES! The burgers are phenomenal and the beer selection equally good. There are vegan and gluten free options as well. I also like that it's kid friendly, because the thought of them peering through the window watching as we enjoy our brews & burgers would just be sad.

    Delicious french fries! Right off the bat those tasty fried potatoes had my taste buds dancing. My Egg Sandwich was very good but I asked for the chipotle sauce on the side because I was afraid it would be a little too spicy for me (I'm a wimp) and they left it on and it was too spicy. Aside from that, it was an enjoyable meal. My co-workers enjoyed their meals as well. Plenty of food per portion but not too much which is nice. Fair pricing and a heart establishment. The service was a little slow and it took a while to get our lunch out which was pretty inconvenient considering we were on our break from work. Especially since we were there before the rush and our food still took too long. I will just have to make the trip down for dinner since I can't afford 1.5 hour lunch breaks!

    My wife went here with some coworkers and was kind enough to bring me home some food to eat. Because of that I can't speak to service or anything like that but the food was excellent. The food that I had was the spicy Cuban and French fries with a few bites of my wife's leftover mac and cheese. The mac and cheese and fries were both very good but it was the Cuban that was the star. Everything about the sandwich from the meat and bread to the heat from the mayo and pepper Jack cheese worked together perfectly. I can't wait to get back for the whole experience and try some different items off the menu.

    Disclaimer: As a woman in her early thirties who doesn't drink beer, I'm probably not this place's target demographic. Nevertheless, I've been waiting to try this place for a long time (because I heard the food was food), but it's always been busy. Came here for a late lunch, and had the "new" pressed turkey sandwich (turkey, cranberry compote, brie, arugula, and caramelized onions on sourdough bread) with a side of cole slaw, while my husband got the cuban sandwich with a side of fries and an Evil Twin IPA. The pressed turkey sandwich sounded good in theory, but in practice it just had too much going on. The cole slaw was not "creamy," as the menu describes, but it wasn't bad, either. . . it was just kind of bland. Don't get me wrong: the food was decent, just not anything I'd go out of my way to go back for. The building is old and the inside was kind of generic, and for some reason reminded me of MacNivens. The tables were way too close together, similar to Cheesecake Factory, so you're right on top of the people to your right and left, which makes having anything other than a superficial conversation uncomfortable. The service, however, was very good, and the beer menu was pretty extensive. Solid three stars. (And no, three stars is not the new one star, Yelpers and business owners . . . according to Yelp, three stars means "A-OK", four stars means "Yay! I'm a fan", and five stars means "Woohoo! As good as it gets!")

    Best Turkey Burger. I ate every last morsel of perfection. The fries were also great. One can't go wrong with battered fries. Don't forget that ketchup and Sriracha make a good combo. Get it all washed down with a Tripel from Brugge. Overall, nice beer and food selection. Next item up for bid are the cheese curds! Can't believe I didn't get them.

    Came here tonight and got to sit outside, since it was so lovely out. I had seen the menu beforehand and was very excited about their selections. This is the kind of food I love, unpretentious, creative, delicious food. No menu item seems boring. I had the Turkey Press: juicy turkey, brie, crisp pear, rosemary aioli, arugula and pickled onion on perfectly toasted sourdough bread. As I side I had a sweet potato and sausage soup. It was surprisingly spicy and incredibly enjoyable. The soup was just barely pureed so the texture was chunky and wonderful. My friend had the cheese curds.. Something you shouldn't live without. The chimichurri aoili is bomb. The beer list is impressive, especially since it's all draft. I had the chamomile wheat which was tasty. The quality beers complement the delicious food. Service was great too!

    Twenty Tap is one of my favorite restaurants in the city!! The location holds a special place in my heart as i was a regular at the Northside News. Twenty Tap has one of the best craft beer selections in the city (about 40 taps). They change up their selection time to time and is always awesome. They have a fairly wide variety of types of beer from IPA's to Porters but do not have any cheap light beers. they serve to people who enjoy great beer. The food here is great. I have stated and stand strong in my claim that they have the best black bean burger in the city! The cheese curds are insane!! the charcuterie plate, fries and pretzels are wonderful and they put the Northside News famous pressed cuban sandwich on the menu and it is amazing!! (thank you for that) The staff here compliments all the great food and drinks. They are all very friendly, professional and thorough. Now a pointer for anyone who hasn't been here before. If you get there after 6pm on the weekends you will be standing in the bar (as there wont be any seats) and there will be a wait in the restaurant. It is a very popular place for lots of locals and families to come to.

    Beer after Pho?! You betcha! After a wondrous dinner at Saigon restaurant in Lafayette Square, Indianapolis, a smaller group of friends and I decided to hit up Twenty Tap, which was a local watering hole in Indianapolis. The place was already crazy as it is, but we wanted to go drinking, so off we went. The ambiance was loud, as bars tend to be, but the ambiance atmosphere tends to mitigate any concerns about anything you may have about the world at the time. While I stopped myself at 4 beers that night, it didn't stop my friends from going into town. By the end of the night, we ended up calling a friend for a friend to pick her up, whereas a fiend and I decided to use his lyft app and organized a ride for us stupid drunks. There were local beers on tap, which I wanted to try out. Most of them came from Indiana area breweries, but there were regional imports as well. Twenty Taps is located at 5406 N College Avenue in the SoBro district in Indianapolis. We had to find street parking, since there was signage that said we could not park in the lot across from the business, which was a bummer. Like most bars and watering holes, Twenty Tap accepts credit cards, so that's a great thing. The beers were pretty good and it was a nice way to cap off Friday night, after a day of traveling, seeing the Indy Mini marathon expo, and having Pho at Saigon restaurant. I did taste test them cheese curds and it was decently good. There were no seating available, so we just stood around to the side and hang out talking while drinking beers and enjoying Friday night, knowing that the weekend is coming! Yay! The prices here are decent and comparable to other Gastropubs in the area. They have an extensive beer list, so it was impossible to pick just one. I had to pick just a few to savor some of the flavors of each beer that was offered. Service here is always spot on and happy that I came here with friends to drink and eat more. I think I am going to put on weight after this, but I don't care. I enjoyed myself and hopefully you will do the same. Recommended for you and your friends, if you are in the neighborhood and need to get your liquor on! Support local! B+

    The food is pretty good, but what really draws me here is the beer. There is almost always something new and interesting on the rotation. I have drank many great 3 Floyds beers here, and they often have Green Flash West Coast IPA (which is one of my favorites and it is hard to find fresh in Indy). I hope they don't get wiped out by HopCat, so I will be supporting them as much as I can. The cheese curds are totes amazeballs! Get em with the chimichurri sauce. The rest of the food is good (I've tried many different things). There are a few burgers that I like better in the city, but I will rarely turn down a friend that says "How bout we go to Twenty Tap?"

    Great neighborhood pub with the perfect sized menu of burgers, sandwiches and house favorites. Twenty Tap is in my hood, and I was so happy when they moved in after I heard about all of the local brews they would offer. At the time, Aristocrat was still in renovation, so there were little options for grabbing a local brew after hours. Tuesday's are pint nights, but go early - it gets packed and you don't want to get in the way of the folks playing darts! Twenty Tap is known for their juicy burgers that come with a variety of toppings. They also have sandwiches, soups and salads, but it's clear that you go to Twenty Tap for a burger or a hefty sandwich like pulled brisket or a mufaletta. Don't forget to order their also well-known cheese curds as an appetizer, served with a choice of two house aioli's. Just be prepared to share...

    Pros: Delicious fries and black bean burger (actually made in house and not a Morningstar patty!) Cons: Very small, so your wait time can be a little long on a busy night

    This was recommended by some locals. I was not mad about it. Cool vibe inside. Fantastic service! I sat in the bar area but couldn't get a seat at the bar-bar tender was very attentive and friendly! Decent tap list. I had a turkey burger with goat cheese and it was amazing! I would definitely go back!

    Great food, great staff, and great beer. My friends and I go here weekly, Tuesday nights to be exact. I love their simple salad, cheese curds, mac n cheese, pressed cuban... ok well the whole menu really.

    Some of the best pub food in Indy! Great burgers, and the cheese curds are worth a stop by themselves! Extensive vegan and vegetarian menu, would recommend the buffalo cauliflower bites and vegetarian poutine fries-wow! And the beer... So much good beer. And kid friendly too on one side if you're into that.

    Came here on a Saturday night, around 6pm. Really really enjoyed this restaurant. The food was extremely tasty. I ordered the French Breakfast beef burger along with a TowYard IPA (special of the day, only $3.50 for a pint) and an appetizer of cheese curds (served with a garlic aioli and a cilantro aioli). I'll start with the burger: so many flavors and they were all of high-quality. The bacon jam is insanely good and the crispy fried onions added a lot of character to the burger. It was served with a large pile of seasoned french fries (seasoning included salt, garlic, and parsley). The burger was cooked Medium, and perfectly so. There were reddish juices dripping out and it was just divine. The grill flavor was apparent and incredibly delicious. The cheese curds were also simply amazing. While a little pricey ($7!), they were the perfect compliment to a deliciously bitter IPA. Basically, fried cheese curds are little balls of (mozz?) cheese with a crispy fried batter as the coating. You get the choice of 2 sauces (aioli) per order, with about 8-9 to choose from. The restaurant interior itself left a little to be desired but I didn't expect much from a bar/grill. Slightly hipsterish, but not too much so. Also, it was pretty loud inside, but then again it is a bar and the Kentucky Derby was on. Overall, the food is amazingly tasty, slightly gourmet even, and the prices are just right. I felt that everything (with a slight exception to the cheese curds) was priced normally. Great beer selection, too. I'd like to stop-by once I'm in the area again. Awesome, awesome place.

    not a bad beer on the list, was very impressed by the burger. Found a seat at the bar on a busy tuesday night after a few minutes. May have to hit this place again before I head out of town.

    Twenty Tap is the black mamba of bar food because everything they have just KILLS. (In a good way.) Making condiments and soups from scratch shows in the quality of every item on this very varied and vegetarian friendly menu. My favorite appetizer is the pretzels and mustard (add beer cheese). The mustard is so spicy and thick that Stefon from SNL might call it "Indianapolis' Hottest Mustard." This appetizer comes with pickled vegetables that I could eat like candy for the rest of my life. I usually stick with one of the seasonal salad offerings, which change all of the time. The vegan Bahn Mi is out of this world, which matches the double fried fries that you can add to it. I have never walked away from here hungry, I almost always have leftovers, and I've never met a beer here I didn't like.

    Twenty tap has a great selection of beers and a great atmosphere to hang out. Their fries and cheese curses are AMAZING! Had a great Saturday night and would definitely return. The only concern was a 40 min wait, but I guess that should be expected on a weekend.

    I'm not a beer drinker so this review is for the food only. We came here on a Monday evening for my coworker's birthday and this place was totally full by 5:30 p.m. Two of us arrived together and we had to wait for the rest of our party to come to be seated, which ended up being an hour later. We wandered over to the bar area where a couple people got beer (local, natch) and chatted. When the rest of the crew arrived, we told the hostess, who occasionally would check on us to see if she could seat us. We were promptly seated and began exploring the menu. We started with an appetizer of the beer-battered cheese curds. Yum! The aoili sauces that came with it were awesome. I decided on a brisket sandwich with jalapeno marmalade, barbecue sauce, and cheddar cheese on an onion bun. It was good but not great. There was some sauce or flavoring that didn't hit me quite right. Try as I might, I was not able to eat it like a sandwich without half the meat falling out. The fries were pretty good. The service we received was good. Our drinks were refilled, suggestions were given and specialized orders were accommodated. I want to try Twenty Tap again and get something else from the menu. Nothing was bad at all, it just didn't knock it out of the park for me.

    Awesome food. Multiple vegetarian options, all are delicious and exciting. Seasonal menu, so there always seems till be something different. The cauliflower wing app is my favorite. Meat eaters like everything, especially the burgers and Cuban. Amazing fries. Great selection of craft beers.

  • Christin J.

    Totally love the beer list (you can't beat it). I think the food is okay but it doesn't always seem worth the wait to me. If you can wait in line on a Tuesday, give it a shot or hang out in the bar area.

  • Brittany C.

    We are frequent visitors of Twenty Tap! Our service was above and beyond exceptional last night so I HAD to come write a review. As always the food was delicious. New to the summer menu Veggie Buffalo Wings! Tempura cauliflower with vegan buffalo sauce...AMAZING! No beer for us during this visit but they always have a great selection! I was most impressed by our server Drew! He was extremely busy yet full of knowledge, recommendations and provided excellent service!

    LOVE Twenty Tap! They have one of the best "on tap" beer selections in Indy (in my opinion). You can view their daily beer list here: twentytap.com/#!beer-lis… I have only had a few things on the menu, but everything has been delicious! Each time I see a plate being carried out to a table, I am constantly eyeing it and thinking, "Oh.....what is that??!!" Everything looks absolutely wonderful! I highly recommend the cheese curds for a small plate or appetizer. You can view the menu here: twentytap.com/#!menu/cm65 This place is very popular and packed most of the time. Yet, you can put your name in for a table or wait for a bar seat to open up. They have a patio out front, which is great for people watching. The only thing I don't like is that their patio is not pet friendly. Favorite thing about Twenty Tap....$3.50 pints on Tuesdays!

    Best. Fries. Ever. I know this place is supposed to be about the beer, but you have to get the fries. Or the cheese curds. Or, really, just anything. It's all good. Their sandwiches are enormous with the perfect amount of spice when necessary. The reuben, the pulled pork, the whitefish... drool. I'm not the best to review beer, but I will say that this is the only place where I've received a beer suggestion that I actually liked. They have twenty beers on tap that change every once in a while (they update the menu daily), and they know their beer--often using vocabulary that makes me raise an eyebrow. I just assume they know what they're talking about, because they've never failed me before. The only complaint I have is that the waiting time is usually pretty long. But, I wouldn't want them to get a bigger place. It's a great atmosphere with a true local feel--none of that chain nonsense. This is one of my favorite spots in South Broad Ripple. Go here! And I'll come with you.

    I came here to meet up some friends. They love this place and I thought I would give it a go. The bartender was amazing and super helpful in choosing a beer for me. I tried the Pork Bahn Mi. I have to say that for some crazy reason this sandwich has become a major trend in most restaurants. The Bahn Mi at Twenty Tap is probably one of my favorites. I love how they serve it with dill pickles on the side and the french fries are perfect. I can't wait to go again and try the Poutine. The menu is varied so it offers something for everyone and is not over pretentious. They also offer Vegan options which I think are awesome. If you're looking for a new spot to try I suggest this one!!!

  • Heather H.

    I would like this place a lot more if the wait for a table were generally more than an hour whenever I try to go. That being said, if you can go at an off time, the food here is killer, as is the beer selection. Last night I discovered a new favorite - vegetarian poutine. Let me say that again in case you missed it - VEGETARIAN POUTINE. They also have great veggie burgers, a vegan bahn mi, awesome cheese curds, mac and cheese. You get the point. And the beer list. Oh, the amazing beer list. I'm just going to leave it at that. I just wish I could come here at dinner time and not have to wait!

  • Chlz E.

    This is one of my favorite places in Indy, except it always has a crazy wait on weekend nights. You can always chill and drink at the bar, or try going on a weeknight or for lunch. The cheese curds and their fries are soooo awesome. The cajun mac and cheese was pretty good but not really spectacular. Also, if you like spicy stuff, get the spicy cuban. It's probably one of my favorite things ever. Plus, beer. So yeah, love this place. The only thing that sucks is that they really pack you in and you're super close to other customers.

  • Tara F.

    Poutine. Noun. Definition: a dish composed of French fries, cheese curds, green onion and brown gravy. Example sentence: This poutine is the prime reason to go to Twenty Tap. Literally. Amazing dishes such as the poutine are what I love about this gastropub. That and the extensive beer list. Oh the beer list. Complete with Bell's stouts, my newest obsession. Downside? It's crazy to get a table on some days, such as game days with the Butler crowd, and you can only drink in the bar section.. They have been known to kick you out of the food section for just order stout and water. Do NOT be one of those people! Overall, go here! Oh, and order the poutine.

    Great food and beer choices. However, I recommend sitting on the bar side for the other side is very cramped and uncomfortable.

  • Sanchez H.

    OMG! I think this place is AWESOME! I mean seriously...craft beers and delicious imaginative vegetarian/vegan dishes..how can it get any better than this!? I'm kicking myself that I haven't tried this place sooner. I had the Vegan Buffalo Wings--Yum! The Beet Salad also tasty but the all out bombdiggity was the Black Bean Burger! Holy meat free deliciousness, Batman! that Veggie burger has got me hooked! Even the meat eaters at our table were quite pleased with their selections: Cuban sandwich, Fish sandwich, Beef burger--the fries were super yum too. The menu is just fantastic--its creative, its fresh--I think there is something for everyone here! Overall super place, great beer and menu selections with nice staff too--our waiter, Ian, was attentive and helpful on a busy Friday night to boot!.

  • Chad H.

    One of my favorite places I eat in Indianapolis. The have hands down my favorite fries ever, and their burger are great too. Nice beer selection if you're into that. (I'm not a beer guy.) I wish they would bring back the chorizo burger they had for a very short time though. Only complaint I have is seating. It's always packed, so seating would be tight anyhow. But, I would personally rather wait a little longer for a table, so that I wasn't siting so close to other tables. (They may as well be eating with you.)

  • Kacy G.

    As a bar, I love this place. As a restaurant, not as much. Great craft beer, and you can get flights which I always enjoy. Cheese curds & apps have all been awesome. When we adventured further down the menu and tried dinner here, I was pretty disappointed. I had the pressed turkey sandwich which sounded great in theory, but it did not come together well. It came with a side of coleslaw which I found pretty bland. My husband got a burger which was good. I would say go for the beer and your typical bar food, but they haven't quite mastered their menu options past that though the potential is there.

  • Tom W.

    Great bar with a fairly simple dive type feel. Wonderful selection of local and craft beer including Alpha King on tap. (Oh so good.) Also a wonderful restaurant! This isn't pub food. Broad offering on the menu for all tastes and all dietary preferences. I settled on the Portabella Reuben and it was scrumptious. The rye was perfectly toasted, the thousand island like dressing was light and lightly applied, and the mushroom perfectly cooked. Next trip I'm trying the Cajun burger that the man next to me was eating. After every bite he moaned and commented on how delicious it was. I thought we were getting to a scene similar to the classic Meg Ryan in "When Harry met Sally". Apparently a must have....

  • Annie V.

    Im going to start this off by stating that I am not a craft beer drinker. If you are into craft beer you will love this place. Their cheese curbs are almost perfect and their burgers are unique. Unfortunately I think the quality of the burgers is better next door at Fat Dan's Deli. Biggest downside for me was the size. I don't like sitting so close to someone that I have to see/hear them chew their food. Selection of beer is good. So like I said if you are into craft beer then this is the place for you. Looking for a great burger? Check out next door. Items I've tired: Beer-battered cheese curds, Edamame, Simple Salad, Wake up burger, French Breakfast with sub of turkey burger, special burger which included peanut brittle (pleasantly surprised by how well it worked). Things to try: outside seating with a great view of College!

  • Shawn D.

    How have I not reviewed this place? Definitely a top 5 place of mine in indianapolis. I think they have around 40 rotating taps. This IS the place to go for the beer lover. That being said, their food is fantastic- so save room. Favorites include the cuban, burgers, edamame, and lets not forget the 'must have' cheese curds - with a variety of aoli dipping sauces. I enjoy the siracha! While the service here is top notch, Nikki the bartender is superb- there is often a wait and often crowded. I just wish it were a bit larger or the bar area had more seating. If you haven't been - dont waste another second- get there. And thank me later.

  • Naomi S.

    This place is consistently delicious... but you will wait if you want to eat around dinner time. Worth it most of the time, but I can't say I've never been too hungry to wait... they don't take reservations. The good news is that while waiting, you can hang out in the bar and get your drink on. Tuesday night is pint night, which means every one is $5. Awesome. Four stars instead of five mainly because of the waaaaaiiiiiiting. They really should be bigger.

    Great draft beer list! I highly recommend the cheese curds...they are addictive little balls of awesomeness. Great patio right on College, perfect for people watching. The only downside to this place is it can get really busy, as in standing room only.

    Shhh... But this place is superior to the massive craft beer bar to the north. More than enough beer to choose from, great food, better prices and a chill neighborhood vibe.

    (5)

  • Michael C.

    Now this is a good place. They've got a good and ever changing selection of beers and dishes, and while I'd agree that the cheese curds are a staple worth trying, I appreciate the constant change because this is a place that knows how to put together good tasting meals. So what that means is you can be brave, try something new, and feel pretty confident you're not going to be mad for doing it.

    (5)

  • Shoshana K.

    This place is great! I love how the food menu has so many vegan and vegetarian options! There are lots of articles framed on the walls of this joint celebrating the guy in the kitchen who made the menu here full of options that are meatless (and sometimes cheeseless/eggless too). Some of the tap beers were out when we showed up to watch the world cup game....that was a bummer. good thing they have a ton to choose from so we were not thirsty.... everyone was right about the cheese curds - they are great. we had siracha and chimichuri dipping sauces. yum. the tofu bahn mi was good. the mushroom open faced was amazing!! i was a little surprised when i got my bill - i guess it was more than i was expecting to spend. however, the quality of food and beer selection here mostly warrented the somewhat steep prices....

  • Melyssa H.

    Twenty Tap got it right. I love this place and it doesn't hurt that it is a ten minute bike ride and has free wi-fi. I did some writing there last summer. The craft beer menu is huge. I go for the IPAs. Don't worry if you know nothing about beers, because every guy in the place can tour guide you. Part of the fun is talking beer. The turkey burger is sublime. It's on a goat cheese smeared English muffin with arugula and a tomato chutney. I get that every time. Their fries are among the very best in the city. They have lots of other sandwiches I've never tried because that turkey burger just gets it for me.

  • Steve L.

    Stopped-in to grab a beer at the recommendation of some folks from the area. The bar was busy, as New Belgium Brewery was "taking over" the taps later in the evening. Service was prompt; we browsed the beer menu and made two selections, both of which were out. Drat! We went with plan B choices, which proved to be tasty. Food looked tasty; had we stayed longer, I wouldn't have minded trying some of the things on the menu. Prices were more than reasonable.

    (3)

  • Derek C.

    It's a good option and is almost a top notch experience. The beer selection is excellent and the prices are fair. While simple, the beer menu does one thing that you would expect to be standard yet isn't -- they list the style of beer. I hate wondering whether the Flying Trapeze Magic Unicorn is an ale, an IPA, a stout... or any clue as to what it is. Here, if you like pilseners, you can just pick one out from the list. While this would appear to be a local brewery bar, the food is excellent. There are a couple of burgers with "fried egg" that is actually an over-easy egg. Had I known that, I would have changed from my still-excellent Spicy Cuban. So what holds back the 5th star? The interior decor looks like this is an unfinished project. The interior has that 1970s VFW feel to it where it is more a bunch of guys getting together rather than a modern food service establishment. The other thing is the customer service. Again, perhaps old-school dive bar is the motif but it's not with the times. Anyway, I would definitely return and encourage others to check it out.

  • Jessica P.

    The cheese curds. oh my goodness, the cheese curds. I cannot explain how much I crave those wondrous things and the fantastic aioli. The beer selection is also so wonderful. Honestly, every single thing I've had to eat and drink here has been just the best. You really can't go wrong with the menu. The secret's out though, so it's always always crowded. If you don't mind a bit of a wait and a bit of noise, you're in for a good time.

    (4)

  • Rob D.

    Twenty Tap has a terrific selection of local beers that is always changing. I have not had that many of their food items, but what I have had is very tasty. The environment is nice, though it can be very hard to have a conversation when it is busy because it is very noisy. Other than that, though, great place!

    (4)

  • Chan M.

    Awesome draft beer selection! We came on a Saturday evening around 7:30pm and waited about an hour before being seated. Luckily there's standing room in the bar along with a great selection of craft beers on tap. When seated we were pretty close to others but the atmosphere is relaxed and loud like a bar. Ordered the cheese curd appetizer, a burger and a Cuban sandwich. Both with fries. Perfectly crunchy fries. Amazing cheese curds! The prices are fair and the service is excellent. We will be back soon !!

  • Kevin L.

    For some time I would stop by 20 Tap weekly. I love this bar! The beer is great and the food is great. They don't come off as trying to hard as a lot of craft beer focused restaurants do. It is just good food and good beer all around.

    (5)

  • Abby N.

    Love this place. Great selection of local beers. The cheese curds are a must, I also highly recommend the buffalo cauliflower. Just expect to get a drink and wait a bit for a seat, as it is limited.

  • Krista A.

    This is my favorite place in Indy. Favorite. Hands down. I have had every single burger they make, and have yet to be let down. They absolutely have the best fries in existence, and they pair them with delicious homemade aoili's (try the chipotle one!!) That plus a fantastic, rotating selection of craft beers? I'm in heaven. The only downfall is that the place has gotten so popular yet is so tiny that it is nearly always packed. If you don't want a crowded and loud atmosphere, this may not be the spot for you.

    (5)

  • Tara J.

    Twenty Tap obviously has an excellent selection of craft beer, which is what drew us here in the first place. We have been a couple times now and have not been disappointed. The beer prices are very reasonable and the service was great on both our visits. The only reason I am giving four instead of five stars is because I don't think the food is quite up to the price point. The pimento mac and cheese with bacon is pretty awesome, and the Cuban sandwich my husband got was good, but the other things we've ordered have just been ok.

    (4)

  • Sonya A.

    Wow definitely a new favorite. I was impressed with their beer selection, though not the largest selection, it is varied and good quality. To accompany our beers we had dinner. I had the spicy cuban and cole slaw and he had the brisket sandwich and fries. Wow... delicious! I can't wait to go back their menu looks fantastic it was so hard to choose! Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Location: 5/5

    A haiku for my favorite part of Twenty Tap: Tasty cheese curds here The best in town, so I say Treat yo'self today! Good lord are the cheese curds delicious -- fried bits of cheese with dipping sauce -- and it's a huge order! Every thing here is great: the food is sourced locally when possible and the burgers are dynamite (even sharable if you get the curds, too), a huge craft beer list (around 40 taps these days, I do believe. There is a bar with darts and there aren't that many tables, so I just go in expecting a wait. I'm sure to grab a pint while doing so. The service can be scarce at times, but I chalk that up to them always being so damn busy. As soon as my curds arrive, I forget all, and sink into cheesy, fried goodness.

    Amazing vegetarian food. The pimento mac n cheese is to die for. Great beer selection. It's always crowded due to the space, but it is one of my favorite spots in the whole city!

  • Abbey B.

    The Fries! My word, the fries. First off, the only time I've been here when it wasn't packed was on a Tuesday at 2:30. Don't be detoured by all the business, it's packed because it's awesome! The tap list is always great and reasonably priced. The food is spot on. There's a great mix of sandwiches, including a few vegetarian options. The fries are the perfect amount of crispy, fluffy, and just enough salt. I can't wait for my next opportunity to nab a table here.

    Friday night in Broadripple. Not something I've done in ....oh about a year. I always remember in the moment stepping through a door into a cramped entry area that I am in my 30s, post-college, post kids. WOOOO. It's always quite a flashback and although I do love to "party like I'm 25" the next day always reminds me ....no, no in fact I do not. All that being said, I really have been wanting to check this place out. My hubby is quite the beer connoisseur and they boast a huge list of craft beer. The reviews are awesome and the fact is....I'm not that old and I love new things. This was a great date night location with another outgoing, fun couple who doesn't mind the Broadripple vibe. We put our names in and had about an hour wait. While we enjoyed some drinks at the bar, I noted that the overall crowd was above age average in the Rip, so it wasn't all the 21 year olds getting wasted before they went out. It was clearly a working age crowd or graduate school group looking for a good drink/meal to relax. And that is what we got. We started with the pretzals and beer battered cheese curds. Um....yum. Love me some deep fried cheese with the dips they offered. I was in hillbilly heaven with those suckers...and could have drowned myself in the housemade aioli. For the main course, there is an array of sandwiches and burgers to choose from and many looked appealing. My hubby went for Wake Up which boasted a fried egg and English muffin. YUMMO. I scored a hit with the ouse smoked, pulled brisket- Fischer Farm's Brisket, Jalapeno Marmalade, BBQ Sauce, Cheddar, Lettuce on Onion Bun. Let's just say NOT a mistake. I loved the marmalade, which although SOUNDS spicey was a great compliment giving it a nice sweet kick! The fries were also a fabulous side item. I mean, who doesn't love french fries. VERY happy with those...that I ate off my friend's plate, b/c I went a little boring with a side salad. Equally good but not such a great compliment since it's salad....ha! I mean, if you are young, energetic, looking for good food/drinks for a decent price (seriously our bill was under $30), you should check this out. If you don't want to wait, you need to get there with the early birds....they don't take reservations. Great for a fun date place....if you don't mind having to talk above average voice levels or a girls/boys night out. Great "starter" place to get drinks and good food before birraging yourself with the rest of the Broadripple bar scene. Loved it.

    The multiple beers are often very yummy, And good sandwiches for your tummy, But cheese curds are way too greasy, Though taking kids surprisingly easy, Service is generally well above par, Overall a great little neighborhood bar.

    I recently visited the new Hop Cat restaurant in Broad Ripple. It was good, lots of different beers, and good food - rather pricey though. Why am I discussing Hop Cat in a Twenty Tap review? Because Hop Cat is the new, hot, trendy, place to go in Broad Ripple. Can it hold a candle to Twenty Tap? No!!!!! Twenty Tap is truly an outstanding establishment. Their sandwiches, especially the Cuban, are awesome. Their fries and cheese curds, with all of those wonderful dipping sauces, are TRULY addictive. And their beer selection is phenomenal. Today I had four different Oktoberfests (in a sampler flight) and a pint of Twenty Taps own Punkin' Chukin' Ale, which was wonderful. If you're undecided as to where to go for great beer and food, choose local. Choose Twenty Tap.

  • Penny L.

    This is one of my main haunts. The rotating tap selection is always fresh & showcases so much local beer. The two appetizers that's you just must try are the fried cheese curd and the fried pork belly. Their burgers are all delicious and the muffuletta and cuban sandwiches are also top-notch. The two best aiolis are chimichurri & rosemary!

  • Sara P.

    I have repeatedly enjoyed the vegan Bahn Mi and BBQ tempeh sandwiches; extra points for the delicious fries with a side of vegan aioli. When I'm feeling non-veganish, I love the French Breakfast burger (brie! bacon jam!), medium rare, fancy-pants turkey burger, or the mushroom Reuben. Soups/salad selections are typically creative; I especially like the beet appetizer, panzanella salad, and curry sweet potato soup. When I don't go my normal stout or porter route, Twenty Tap has a fantastic range of seasonal beers to play around with...most recently, the Founders raspberry (or gingerbread ales during the winter). Although it can get pretty loud inside and the wait can be long during prime hours, the dining & drinking experience makes up for it and it is a fairly short walk from my home. My favorite local place since relocating to SoBro.

  • Jonna C.

    I am rarely disappointed with the beer selection. Even being a bit picky, I always find that there's something to my liking on tap. And their Mac and Cheese is excellent!! The burgers I have had are great. And I've never had anything bad. However, the dining room is too small and there's always a wait. And I am often disappointed that there's not more variety on the menu.

    The beer menu here makes me do a mental fist-pump. Yeah! You generally have seasonal brews as well as a rotating cast of IPAs, lagers, porters, red ales, and etc. They source almost everything from either Indiana breweries or somewhere else in the Midwest. I have yet to go wrong with a beer here. Generally the rest of the food is super tasty! They do interesting things with their burger toppings, and their fries are really dang good. I can't say the food is the primary reason I come to Twenty Tap, but I've never been disappointed by it. It's generally pretty packed in here, so don't be surprised at a wait.

    I absolutely love Twenty Tap. The beer selection is second to none and the waitstaff has the knowledge to help you pick a perfect beer. I have never even seen the same beer on the menu twice, and I love it. Most of the selections are regional and I love supporting the local breweries. But wait, there's more! The appitizers, bar food, and sandwiches available are to die for. The beer-battered cheese curds with your choice of aioli for dippin' are some of the best I have ever had. I can't say enough about this place. It's one of my favorites in the city.

    The cheese curds are to die for! I get them every time I go! And they have several different house sauces to go with them! They always have an awesome beer selection. Really, you just can't go wrong here.

    Kind of cool. Low-key place. It has a few TV's if you want to watch a game. Diverse selection of beers available; the prices aren't great, but they're decent for the beers that the offer. I don't normally like cheese curds, but Twenty Tap's cheese curds were good. They have some of the friendliest servers of any bar in Indy. The service was really good.

    okay so maybe I have a thing for melted cheese. But not just any melted cheese, like I would never order mozzarella sicks. But the cheese curds alone earn this place 5 stars. After attending college in Wisconsin I know cheese curds and had missed them greatly until someone told me go here. I hope they stay on the menu forever! I wish the aoli's were a little thinner, less mayo. The hamburgers and sandwiches have been decent and the beer list will leave everyone satisfied. It gets a little crowded, but grab a beer and wait for a piece of cheesy heaven! So the service here is getting a lil sloppy. Like forgetting to tell us up front about being out if things like Cheese curds. Specially when the waiter knows because you said you came in for beer and apps. Or charging us for a beer that got tapped out.I know thats why we review the bill, but it wasn't busy when these type of events have happened. I do really enjoy coming here. So the last few times the service has been a real bummer, we are learning a lot of places in Indy in general seem to have some lackadaisical staff so I can't blame the place but it would be 5 stars in my eyes if servers would pay a bit more attention or be more friendly.

    Went in early on a friday night, and got a table for 2. first off get the cheese curds! they were to die for, and the aioli dips that come with them are great. The burgers were great, I had the french breakfast, and boy was it good. cooked well, fresh meat. will definitely be back soon.

  • Leslie L.

    Cool place but nothing to write home about. Good selection of beer but I wasn't thrilled by the food choices (mostly sandwiches). The pretzels with cheese sauce were great but you have to pay an extra $1.50 for the sauce on top of the pretzel price. I would visit again but mostly for the beer selection, not the food. Wait staff was great!

  • Karla W.

    I literally come here weekly and when I was single sometimes daily. The bartenders always know your name, they're friendly but not coddling. The menu changes every season or so and there is always something do get addicted to. The cheese curds are astounding but come with 4 people as it's a lot to handle. Always sit on the bar side, the booths or outside, the small tables are stifling. They always have rare beer in and they now brew their own in the basement. Tell Drew and Sarah I said hey.

  • Andrew J.

    This place has the best beer list in Indianapolis. The selection changes all the time, and they do a great job representing local breweries as well as some unique regional options. They have some of the best beer release parties in town. On top of a great beer menu, their food menu is fantastic. I love their friend cheese curds. They have some unique dipping sauces and this is about as perfect as it gets while drinking beer. Their burgers are very well prepared and have some very cool topping options. Their Cuban sandwich is great. Their specials are always tasty when they are on the menu. Service is normally pretty quick, but as long as you're buying beer they never seem to push you out. If you come in on the weekend at normal dinner hours expect to have a bit of a wait. The restaurant is small and always packed. If you are a beer fan and you like to eat you have to check this place out

    Disclaimer: I'll need to go back to give this place a more accurate review, but the poor service I experienced here will make it difficult to give this place another chance. I came here with a group of 3 on a Monday evening for dinner. It was pretty busy, and surprisingly full of young children. This does not seem like a place I'd bring a young child, but there were tons of toddlers and babies here. Our server, Matt, must have been slammed because it took a long time for him to take our drink orders, even longer to receive those drinks and a crazy amount of time for our food to arrive. Toward the end of our meal he become more attentive and we finally got some refills. I had heard good things about the mac and cheese and their burgers, so I was happy to try both. None of the burgers looked to great, so I asked for a standard bacon cheeseburger- not on the menu but pretty standard. I also requested no side to be served with my burger because they had only a few options: fries, cole slaw or a salad. When the meal arrived, I had to ask Matt for an ingredient I had requested for my burger as it did not arrive the way I ordered it. The burger was okay, nothing to write home about. Don't let the name "Pimento Mac&Cheese" turn you off because it was really yummy! When the bill came, Matt had put some of our dining partner's items on our bill and vice versa. I also came to find that I was nickled and dimed for my burger. I understand being charged for bacon, but $1.50? No way. AND, I have NEVER been charged to add mayo to a burger, so you can imagine my surprise to see a $.50 charge for a cup of mayo (especially when I had to remind him to bring it out to me because it didn't arrive with my meal as requested). So now my standard burger was jacked up $2.00! Tell me in advance if you're going to charge extra for condiments. When we brought this to Matt's attention (both the fact that it would have been nice to be told in advance if charges would be added for specializing an order and disappointment in charging for things like mayo), he basically shrugged it off saying that they don't offer custom burgers. It was pretty hard to tip him since he was not very attentive, messed up our bills and did not offer a reasonable explanation for charging $.50 for a little cup of mayo. All in all: I felt nickeled and dimed here, and I didn't feel like my feedback was valued when expressed to Matt. I'm not sure if I'll be back, but I hope if I do come here again I'll find that the poor service was a fluke.

    Visited Twenty Tap while visiting Indy with family. Wanted a bar in the Butler University area. Had drinks and the fries, which were recommended by the waiter. They were absolutely the best fries I've ever tasted!!!! The bar filled up as we were there, so it must have high ratings from its customers, too. Superb!!!!

  • Chris S.

    Twenty tap has more than twenty taps how bout that! Food is eclectic for a brew house and it is worth the trip. pretzel and beer cheese is a good choice for a late afternoon nosh with a couple of craft brews. See for yourself!

  • Michelle Q.

    Stopped after work for drinks and dinner. Server was nice but forgot our table a few times. Restaurant was out of quite a few specials and it was only 4:30. Ended up with a great cuban sandwich and stout that could have bumped this to a four star. However, my friend's potato salad was 'bad... tastes spoiled' and they were out of pickles which was the reason for our trip. In Indy there are so many brew pubs popping up it is hard to keep up with the decor, selection, etc. The ambiance here was ok. I have several around town I would recommend over this one but if in the area not a bad selection. I wouldn't make a special drive to stop here. We will give the food another shot if in the area.

    Listen, guys. ...Guys. Listen. Seriously. Twenty Tap is the best bar/restaurant in Broad Ripple. THERE. I said it. I have to say, first, that I am a red meat kind of gentleman. That said, the turkey burger is the best thing I have ever eaten. Just to be clear, that is to say that of all the things I have eaten -ever in my life- Twenty Tap's turkey burger is my favorite. Get it. Just do it. Reviewing other entrees is a challenge for me as I am rarely ever capable of forcing myself to eat anything else. Aside from the great food, their beer selection is fantastic, if a tad pricey. They always have plenty of local brews and Tuesday's drink special is pretty great. Everything about the establishment itself is so badass that one of the most important aspects of the business, the help, is easy to take for granted. Twenty Tap's staff is consistently knowledgeable, quick, and pleasant, despite crowds. In summation, go to Twenty Tap, dammit.

    Pretty good experience! Originally seated at a bad table by wait staff! I could tickle the ear ( furthest from me) of the people to the right and left of me! tooooo close for comfort! We re-sat ourselves and from then it was a good experience! The wait staff suggested the turkey burger and it was delicious! The blackened fish sandwich was a great selection as well! My boyfriend ordered that, and I practically ate it all! LOL! Their house fries were awesome!

  • Eric B.

    When I describe 20 tap to first timers, I always say the same thing: The just do everything right. First of all, the tap list is huge. And yes, they have the beer you want. Trust me. They do. And whatever you get, MAKE SURE YOU GET FRIES WITH IT. These fries are that good. And, as SoBro generally has it, they have a wide variety of meat-free menu items. The Vegan Bahn Mi is always tasty, with a perfect amount of spice. Goes incredibly well with an IPA (I got love for a Rail Splitter by Triton Brewing). The corn-chowder is great in the fall with a stout, and the BBQ tempeh is good on all occasions. The outdoor seating is PERFECT when the weather is on your side. However, the bar service can be very poor on their busier nights. Maybe my 5'4 stature made me hard to see. But, I sat at the bar one night for 45 minutes, trying my hardest to get service. I eventually gave up and went next door. If I walk by and its busy, I generally take a pass. Its probably worth the wait, but sometimes a wait turns into never.

  • Corrine P.

    This place is a local favorite. Their food is delicious and their beers on tap are awesome. Most are local! The only issue is that it is so popular there is usually a wait for a seat. Even the bar area there it is difficult to find a seat. A few times I have visited and not had the best service. Other than that, this place rocks!

  • Sarah S.

    I will never order fries from anywhere else! The beauty of the green flecks of parsley and the airy crispness of their batter have me pretending that they are somehow better for me than other fries...do not forego them for the side salad...just get them with the side salad, which is also amazingly delish in all it's simple glory! I dream about the cheese curds daily! The rotating beer selection highlights the awesomeness of America's Craft Beer Movement! The quality local ingredients make me feel good about eating here just knowing I am supporting local farms. I have tried almost all the burgers on the menu and the ones I haven't, my husband has. The French Breakfast burger is awesome, BUT I LOVE the Wake up burger! I approach my Twenty Tap table knowing I will be a mess of delicious burger juice, runny egg yolk, bacon drippings, and sauce and it will not be pretty. SO WORTH IT! Everyone should do themselves a favor and the next time you crave a quick burger, pass up cheap places with drive throughs. Think, for a little bit more money you can have a burger made with high quality beef from a farm nearby, fresh fries (with parsley) and a beer! My waistline is thankful I don't live in walking distance of this place! It is crowded often, even times I wouldn't expect (Wednesday night at 7:45) , but that is only because people know a good thing when they eat and drink it!!!! (homemade pickles, pimento mac & cheese with bacon, beer, beer, and MORE CRAFT BEER!) OH and the vegetarian options are also yummy!!! Vegan ban mi sandwich and the black bean burger!!!!! Mmmmmmmm

    Really tasty burgers and fries, and a nice beer menu. Docked a single star (the burgers and fries really are that good) for almost always being extraordinarily difficult to get in to (the crowds really are that big) and for sometimes indifferent service.

  • Emel S.

    I'd been here once before for dinner and it was decent but I wasn't going to call it a favorite. Then some friends suggested we got there for dinner again and I decided to consult Yelp to help me decide what to get. I saw all the rave reviews for the Vegan Bahn Mi and decided to give it a shot. I'm not a vegan...or even a vegetarian for that matter but I do enjoy vegetarian entrees. THIS SANDWICH IS AMAZING!! First of all, the tofu is nicely marinated so it's fully of flavor. I also think they must use soft tofu because the consistency was different from any I'd had before and I normally use firm. The vegetables on the sandwich added great texture and flavor as well and the bread, OH the BREAD!! It was soft and delicious. Most of my friends (who are meat-eaters) didn't seem jealous of my sandwich but one of them tried it and agreed that it really was delicious. No one else asked to try it but they were all pleased with their own meals so that might be why. I can't remember what everyone else got but I remember that two people sitting next to me go the Cuban and seemed to really like it. So, vegetarian or carnivore, I'd recommend you try the Vegan Bahn Mi. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised either way. Of course, Twenty Tap is also known for their local brews which I'm a fan of. They have the Tripel de Ripple on the menu as well as another one (Dark Horse maybe?). I should probably take off a star since the server messed up all our bills but the sandwich really got this place 6 stars, so really, they're still at a 5 star rating.

    Twenty Tap Tuesday is something that should be screamed from the top of your lungs every time you wake up on a Tuesday morning. On Tuesday nights, all pints of local draft beer are only $3.50 (which includes the tax). I was completely and utterly astonished by this. I went with a few friends and I didn't quite believe them when they talked up this bar so much. They have everything from Flat 12, to Brugge, to Sun King, to Fountain Square, to Peoples, and everything in between. The menu is huge and you will want to stay here all night to just drink as many delicious beers as you can. I enjoyed a Fountain Square chocolate stout, a Peoples imperial IPA, and a Tank 7. I could have spent all day here. The atmosphere is wonderful. It reminds me of a smaller Chumley's, a little more intimate, and way less sporty. Punks, men and women in business casual, and just regular Joes like me came to enjoy pints of delicious local beer and join in comradery with one another. The staff is amazing and friendly, and don't even get me started on the food. It's all amazing. They have vegan dishes, meaty dishes, and dishes that you wouldn't imagine being available at a bar. Brats, burgers, fries, and vegetarian sandwiches floated around our tables as sounds of food pleasure filled the air. Twenty Tap closes around 11pm throughout the week, which I think is a unique and perfect time for the crowd that comes here--men and women looking for great drinks and food with friends after a long day at work.

    I ate at Twenty Tap last night and was hugely impressed. They have just about the best selection of craft beers on tap in Indianapolis, and the food - upscale pub fare - is outstanding. I had the the cheese curds and one of their burgers and both were phenomenal. If you're at all into upscale-casual dining, you'd do well to visit Twenty Tap.

    SO SO YUMMY. I live in the area and this will definately be one of my new favorite spots. The food was absolutely deliscious. The blackened fish sandwich was killer, the seasoned fries were amazing, and I couldnt stop eating the slaw. Great exprience at a decent price. 5 Stars it is!

  • Jeremy O.

    I love this place!!!!!! Now i normally will be found there for lunch on Tuesdays which is $3.50 pint days. Great beer on tap, in fact its 36 taps. The beer list changes day to day, depending on how quickly they can get thru it, so help out people! The food is great, in fact good enough to slap your momma good. I would have to say any burger, that you order will more than keep you tummy not screaming for food for a while. The side i always get is the fries that coming with a very tasty herb dressing. Also you need to try out the curry mushrooms. The bar staff, Tracy, Jenny, Trish are i believe what makes this place. The decor on the bar side has a great long bar and a TV at the end of it and Tons of beer cans on the walls.

    We had heard so many awesome things about this place that we were beyond excited to try it. It was a predicted 35, really 45 minute wait for a table - which should have been our cue to leave - but we were there and parked and whatever. I could hear the conversations taking place at every table around us as clear as a bell. I could hear other conversations better than I could hear Husband. Totally agree with the acoustic criticisms. I really do not go into restaurants looking for things to criticize. I would rather chill and have a nice time. However, the waitress stopped at 2 tables seated after us to take their orders - put their orders in - then came back to take our drink order. She did not stick around long enough for me to get the appetizer order out of my very fast mouth and did not come back for a while as we just wanted water because Husband had already spent 45 minutes drinking beer. So I watched other tables (who apparently knew how to work the system) receive apps before the waitress even came back to take our app order. Annoyance level was pretty high by this point. App was the cheese curds. Husband loved. I thought they were okay. Husband wanted more beer. Waitress nowhere to be found. We both ordered burgers. His was blah and mine was inedible. I am not picky when it comes to food. Even if I do not love it, I'm paying for it and will shove it down the piehole. Especially under the circumstances of being STARVING. I could not even pretend to stomach the burger. I ordered it medium rare and it was beyond well done. Of course, waitress was nowhere to be found, so I tried to suck it up and eat it - but even Husband agreed that it was awful. He would eat dog kibble if it was presented to him in a bowl with a spoon and milk, so that is saying something. Getting the check was a production and my nice, sweet, the server is always right husband suggested leaving less than a 10% tip. Again, really saying something. Never, ever again. WAY too many other places to try/eat in that area to ever come back. Probably one of the worst two food experiences ever in the Indy area and we eat out 5-7 times a week.

    The concept is completely wrong for this place. This is a beer place but it is way too restauranty and kid-friendly right now! To sum up my experiences here I will say I agree with the 2-star reviews for this place. I got food poisoning the last time I was there (3-2-2013) and was barely satisfied the 3 times prior. My conversation topics were limited due to proximity of the 2 to 10 year olds present in this place. Their saving grace are the appetizers and beer! So here's my idea. Throw out the menu completely and limit it to just appetizers/small plates (aka the good stuff!). I'd make sure the beers are in stock, rotated, fresh, and plentiful. I don't think it would hurt to have a bigger selection or variety of wine for the non-beer drinkers. I would also modernize the decor (just looks way too thrift-shop and old/dusty inside), get rid of the booths and have mostly bar tables and stools. It's hard to move and breath in that place. I feel locked into my booth, which I hate, (especially when I have to pee!) No kids allowed. Again, no kids allowed. And finally, I'd move this place directly across the street to where the huge parking garage is under construction on Broad Ripple Ave. Parking problem solved, and it would bring in business from all over the city with it's increase in accessibility! Currently, this place is way too small to maximize it's potential. Someone with the time and funds should look at The Tap in Bloomington and basically bring that to BR Ave. (specifically, where Scholars Inn Bakehouse or Peppers used to be). It'll attract Butler students, young professionals, and even the middle-aged/older fun crowd. If this place chooses to exist as it is currently, then they must step up the game on service, cleanliness, and food quality/taste in order for my return, otherwise I think this is a pointless place to meet for a drink during peak and non-peak drinking hours.

    Wow. The best burger I've had in town. I was blown away, seriously. We had the Bonfire and I can't say enough about how delicious it was. The bun was great, the beef patty fresh and well grilled (and a true medium rare, as requested) and the toppings were flavorful. The fries were also amazing, with wonderful aioli. I highly recommend this place.

    Had been told this place was great... had been told that the restaurant side was kid friendly (my thought = really?? it IS a bar!?!) but... Had a short wait... then we were squeezed into a small table (no big deal, I was hungry, no need for 3 of us to have a huge booth). But it was SO loud!! I had a hard time hearing my husband across the table... and then there was the OVERly loud table in the corner... WOW! Which made me worried that all this loud noise may be overwhelming for our child and may cause a fussy/ crying fit... yup, before we were done! So we jumped out of there asap! As for the grub and brews! FANTASTIC! Turkey Burger- (Fischer Farm's Ground Turkey Patty, Tomato Jam, Arugula, Whipped Goat Cheese, Caramelized Onion on English Muffin $9) LOVED this burger!!!!! What a GREAT combination (my mouth is watering thinking about it!!) the tomato jam with the arugula and whipped goat cheese... oh I LOVED!!! GREAT mix!! I initially thought the $9 was a bit high, especially since the side options were only salad, slaw or fries... but the salad was good size and the burger was FANTASTIC! Company had Sal- (Pastrami, Cream Cheese, Pickles, Onion, Mustard $9) and thought it was also Very tasty! He is also a slaw critic and thought it was pretty good!! Loved the beer list (tied a couple hadn't had before) and love that so many are from local brewers!! BIG DIBS here!! Will be back, but sans child! and maybe at an off hour when it may be less busy... less loud!?!?

    I'd heard that Twenty Tap had great beef burgers and the rumors are true - that is a tasty burger. Plus they have lots of tasty beverages on tap. The French fries are also good. With them you get choice of two aiolis (dipping sauce - basically mayo and with stuff added in). The horseradish and chipotle were nice departures from ketchup. Great vibe.

  • Jason R.

    I'll start by saying this is, in my opinion, one of the better bars in the entire Indianapolis area. The atmosphere at Twenty Tap gives you a real local pub feel, comfortable and casual, while maintaining the fresh feel of a trendy hot spot. The alcohol selection at Twenty Tap is great. At the time of my last visit there were 38 beers on tap. The beers are listed on a huge board above the bar and change from time to time. The selection of Indiana and regional beers here are extensive. This is the place you want to go if you'd like to taste what the area breweries have to offer. They also offer a few other beers from around the country, so there's something here for all beer lovers. The food here is also top notch. I would argue that Twenty Tap has the best fries in Indianapolis, not to mention one of the best burgers as well. The fried house pickles are a very good appetizer, and come highly recommended. The meal portions are totally adequate for the price, so you're guaranteed a good meal at a fair price. All in all there really isn't much to complain about here. Friendly service, great atmosphere, with quality food and alcohol. I'd recommend this place to anyone wanting a good beer or a great meal. Definitely check this place out.

    Twenty Tap is an excellent neighborhood bar serving great food with an array of fine beer on tap. The food is not typical bar food, the menu boasts some very well thought entrees. The fries are a crowd favorite for a reason. The blackened fish sandwich is phenomenal. Non-existent parking is the restaurant's only downfall. Luckily I can walk from my house!

    I'm not a beer drinker so I can only say that they have over 40 varieties, many local. I did sample several things on the food menu and it was great. Fried cheese curds = awesome Macaroni & Cheese was very creamy, not the usual stuff you would expect but better. French fries were to die for! I also tried the Cheese and Veggie plate, I wouldn't repeat it. It was alright but I was expecting more veggies (not cucumbers and cauliflower) and less cheese. It came with a fig paste and hummus, which if you like that sort of thing then it would be great but not for my liking. Atmosphere was relaxed and it was a great place to meet up with friends. Parking in the neighborhoods along the street was easy to find. It is Broad Ripple area so if you like to check out the Hipsters and weirdos then you might be in luck. I'd go back if meeting with friends.

    I was so impressed with this place. I don't give a lot of 5-star reviews, but there really wasn't anything they could have done to make the visit better. The beer list is amazing, and they had a sour beer. That is so hard to find!! I also love that all of their beers are around $5, they just size them accordingly. That's so nice for me, since I'm not a huge drinker. I can try the fancy stuff, but only get $5 worth. I had the burger. Why WOULDN'T you get the burger?? It was cooked perfectly medium, came with the exact right amount of cheese, aioli, and an onion ring on top. The salad was ok, nothing special, but I was too full to eat it anyway, so no points lost there. We started the meal with fried cheese curds. I've been to Madison, Wisconsin, and these curds are just as good. The batter is kind of tempura-like and there is plenty of it. You get your choice of two house-made aiolis. Do yourself a favor and get the garlic and the chipotle. Then hoard any leftovers to try with your entree. I must try the fries with my burger next time. Other tables had them and we could overheard them raving about them. Hubby got the Cuban and let me try it. It was also heavenly, but nothing could match that burger! Our server and her trainee were attentive, fun, and gave great advice on the beer. GO HERE!!!

    Not only does Twenty Tap have lots of tasty beers, but they also have equally wonderful burgers. The black bean burger was delicious, even for someone whose eating habits tend to lean toward the carnivorous. They also had fried cheese curds. Really, really good ones. I haven't had cheese curds that delicious since a vacation to Wisconsin several years ago. The batter they fry them in is light and flaky, almost like a good fish batter. And the cheese gets heated throughout, which means when you bite into them you get the wonderful effect of having strings of cheese everywhere. Cheese and beer are among my favorite foodstuffs. I will be back for sure.

  • Joel M.

    Twenty Tap has an EXCELLENT beer selection that is little heavy on the IPAs. This is fine by me but not so great for the wife who prefers wheats, wits, and belgians. I was a little disappointed not seeing any Three Floyds on the draft list, but it sounds like they usually have something tapped and I just came at the wrong time. Their draft list focused on local breweries (Sun King, Triton, Flat 12, Upland) but had a handful of regional brews as well. The atmosphere here is very laid back and the decor is clean and simple. Service was solid, the waitress definitely knew her beer and could make appropriate recommendations based on our tastes and preferences. I didn't try the food but would recommend the trip for the beer selection alone. It is excellent to see a restaurant/bar focused solely on craft beer in Indy!!

    Visited here when I was in Indy seeing a friend. The local beer selection was great, the cheese curds were awesome, and the burger was one of the best I've had in a long time. We did have to wait awhile to get a table on a Saturday night, but we just watched some football at the bar while waiting.

    Presenting: Twenty Tap, the newest and coolest dining & drinking establishment of the So Bro neighborhood. Starring: 20 great selections of craft beer on tap. Co-starring: A wonderful appetizer, salad, sandwich & burger menu. Produced & directed by: Kevin Matalucci, longtime BRBP brewer. The Scoop: A dining area with a separate standing bar area. Neither area is huge so this place is going to get packed fast. Twenty selections of different craft beer on tap such as Founders Reds Rye, 3 Floyds Zombie Dust (which alas has bitten the dust), Stone Arrogant Bastard, Founders Cerise, some Sun King and Flat 12, etc. The menu is definitely award winning. The Smoked Mushroom Reuben on rye with swiss, pickles, sauerkraut, onion & Russian sauce is one masterpiece of a sandwich. The Morty Burger with mortadella, pickles, mustard, onion & smoked provolone is fabulous. AND, the House Fries are by far the best fries ever and are deserving of a standing ovation!! What this critic says: I am extremely excited about this place in every way. Location, atmosphere, beer selection, menu choices & reasonable prices and of course, the wonderful execution of the food served. And, I challenge anyone to say these aren't the best damn fries.

    Can't brag enough on this place. Amazing beer selection that is fresh and always rotating. Great burgers and appetizers. Love the staff. Had an issue once and the manager came out and dealt with it swiftly and effectively. I think this is the best place in Indy to grab a beer and hang out. Just wish they had more seating!

    Without a doubt one of my favorite bars in town. First, the beer selection. Plenty of Indiana beers, along with a big selection of regional breweries. There's always at least a few other taps from around the country too (Left Hand, Great Divide, etc). You can often expect the good stuff that beer lovers tend to get excited about... think Goose Island Bourbon County and Three Floyds Zombie Dust. If you're a beer lover in the Indianapolis area and you haven't gotten in yet, you're missing out. Oh yeah, pints are $3.50 on Tuesdays, which is pretty awesome, too. The food is always great. The black bean burger is definitely one of the best I've ever had. Make sure if you order fries or cheese curds (both highly recommended), get some aolis too. Soups are always good too... had the clam chowder last night and was not disappointed. It can get a bit crowded sometimes, so try to get there slightly early.

    SO-SO IN SOBRO Small cozy place with far more than 20 taps. Sizable beer selection, but don't bring a big thirst unless you bring a big wallet. The place is kind of pricey, especially for SoBro (not your highest rent district). Maybe we were there at shift change, but the staff outnumbered the customers... and they were more concerned with talking among themselves than mixing it up with or waiting on customers. We had heard the place WOW us. They did, but not necessarily in a good way. However, we've agreed to give them another try sometime. Everybody deserves a second chance, right?

    So delicious!! I love this French Breakfast Burger & the fries with many condiment options, which I am a huge fan of. I also like that there's a wide selection of beers on tap. Also the cheese curds are to die for!! My only qualm with Twenty Tap is that it is so busy & the wait can be over an hour some nights. They need more seating!

  • Jeremiah T.

    Great little place! Grace and Mike* were fantastic bartenders who made great suggestions, none of which I have any complaints about. They also sported great attitudes and the service was very, very quick. They are really on the ball, well informed and very informed about the local brew scene. I would suggest visiting just for these two, but there is much more to the place: amazing brews on tap at consistent, affordable prices annnnnnnnnnnnnd food. which I didnt eat, but hear it's good.

    My husband and I went here while we were visiting from California. The beer list was great. The food is exceptional, the burgers and fries are awesome. The beer cheese is amazing, not as thick as I expected, but still really good. Emily, our waitress, was great. She was able to take our beer and food order by memory and everything was correct, this can be hard to come by in many places. We will most likely revisit this place next time we are back.

    This is my favorite brew pub in the city. They also have the best burgers in town. They use all grass-fed beef and the combo of toppings on the menu is great. My family and I go there very often. They are very family oriented. The place is a bit loud when it's full, but they put sound-absorbing panels on the tinned ceiling and that helped. The staff is always friendly and the food is great. The only bad thing I can say is that they only have 2 high chairs. I can't recommend this place highly enough!

  • Benjamin H.

    Great beer selection and very nice food menu as well.. Tuesday is $3.50 pints. They are only open until 11p (weekdays) and 12a (weekends) with no Sunday hours. The weekend crowd can be a bit insufferable, but as I state in a lot my reviews.. I recommend visiting on off-peak hours (ie Tuesday at 3p).

  • Nicolette M.

    If you like local brews, this place should be a place you add to your list as a place to visit. When it first opened, it had twenty beers, mostly from Indiana, on tap, and since then, it has added on more, meaning it has a beer for almost anyone who is a beer aficionado. The list changes as beers run out making it a fun adventure any time you visit. The food is also pretty good; it's focused on burgers and sandwiches, which they do a good job at preparing. There are some good salads if you prefer something a bit healthier and plenty of vegetarian options as well. The place is frequently crowded on the evenings so be prepared to wait by the bar if you think you want a table, but it's well worth the wait.

    We went to twenty tap at 7 pm on a Saturday night as a party of 4. The wait was very long (90 minutes) but we decided to wait it out at a neighboring bar. Once we were able to sit, it was well worth the wait. We started with great craft beers (they have an awesome selection) and the cheese curds. The curds were deep fried balls of delicious and the sriracha aioli was a great spicy pairing. Next up we all ordered burgers and fries. The fries were amazing! They were crunchy and cheesy must haves. As for the burgers they were all unique and very juicy. I had the french breakfast burger and I highly recommend. Though the wait was long, the food was worth it. I will come back again!

  • Beverly C.

    I came with a small group to Twenty Tap and just sat at the bar. I'm not a true beer drinker. I was really impressed with the bar staff that let me try a few samples and found me a beer that I actually enjoyed. We didn't plan to get food, but I ended up getting the chicken sandwich with a side house salad. Both were amazing! Nothing about the food here will make you think "bar food." Can't wait to bring more friends here.

    The beer selection was really good. Heavy Seas Red Sky at Night is a new favorite. Got a couple of sandwiches that were only ok through.

    The amazing Wake Up burger and the appetizers are not to be missed. Their selection of beers rotate among mostly-local breweries and the staff can always answer questions if you're unsure of what to chose. Ordering a flight is a great way to try a few beers to determine what you might enjoy most. The atmosphere can get a bit loud (especially when people bring their kids...and they always seem to bring their kids for some reason. Why, people? Why? There are no clowns around, so why must you torture me so???) but the food is good enough to put up with it. I'll be honest though, you may wanna pace your visit to times that might be a little less busy because when they're running at capacity, it can be a bit of a wait.

    Hands down best burgers in Indy, and would stand up to challenges anywhere. Fries crispy but light on inside - in the top 3 in Indy. Beer list is awesome and changes almost daily. No mass beer producers here. The beer list also provides the style and alcohol content, but not the IBU. Tasters are no problem though. Very small, limited seating, plan on waiting if you get there after 530 pm. Wait staff/bartenders know their beer. Muffuletta is one of better ones in Indy. This is a 5 star place except for the limited seating

    Please for the love of god put some sound dampening foam/panels/material ANYTHING in here. I came here with my Husband and a friend on a weeknight and I couldn't hear anything because the echoing in the place. I basically had to sit there in silence because there was no way for me to make or hear any conversation. The food was good and I'd really like to come back but I won't until I can have a conversation in the place.

  • Julie S.

    Lots of fantastic Midwestern beer on tap. If you don't know how much better the beer is in the Midwest compared to wherever you're from, sit down here for the afternoon and find out. The burgers were great. They'll cook it to medium rare, and the jalapeno burger is pretty spicy.

  • Jamison H.

    Twenty Tap is a much needed addition to this part of College. It is a non-smoking alternative to Moe and Johnny's, they have a wide selection of delicious craft beer and it has real dart boards. I finally had the food here and was quite impressed. There was a wide selection of veggie options; I had the mushroom Reuben and has satisfied. Try the cheese curds...they are scrumptious. This is a perfect spot for a quality pub that is far enough from the Village that you miss the rif-raff. They could use more bike parking. Everyone who works there that I have encountered has been super friendly.

  • Andrew W.

    I love this place. As a vegan, I don't get to eat everywhere, but this place has some of the best vegan sandwiches around. They also, obviously, have a lot of awesome craft beers and ciders that you can't get other places. The environment is laid back and even if they are busy they can get you in pretty quickly. Dog friendly patio it seems too!

    Finally made it to Twenty Tap for first time. It is what the name says, twenty taps of Indiana craft beer. Excellent beer selection, including local seasonals like Sun King Oktoberfest. Also old standbys like Flat 12, Three Floyds, Upland, New Albanian, etc. As far as food is concerned, had a few pieces of cheese curds which is not something I wanna eat on a regular basis. They were good though without being overly greasy. One of the guys also ordered a steak salad which looked pretty good (even if I don't eat salads). The joint was fairly busy on a Monday night. Half of the room was the bar and the other half the dining area. There were enough seats available but also plenty of space to meander w/ people which I liked. Also the volume wasn't overly loud which was good if you actually wanna converse w/ people. There were two dart boards that were getting heavy usage throughout the night. Would I go back? Of course. There is no on-site parking I don't think so just find a spot on the street.

  • Tracy K.

    Sometimes you just have a hankering for burgers, fries, and beer. And when that happens to me, I go to Twenty Tap. I've had the wrath burger a couple of times and it is super tasty. We usually get an order of fries to share and we love the chimichurri and garlic sauces. The horseradish one is pretty good too. Nice selection of beers, only thing is that sometimes they run out. Also, the space between tables is really narrow. I'm pretty tiny and I have to make my way out gingerly. Other than that, awesome place and I'll come back here again for sure.

    (4)

  • Jaimie C.

    I'm giving this 5 stars for two reasons: you can't beat this draught beer selection in Broad Ripple (at a restaurant) and the burgers are amazing. I've had several of the burgers and never been disappointed. You also can't go wrong with the cheese curds if you want to indulge a little. Be warned, this place does get crowded quickly and the wait can get quite long.

    (5)

  • William C.

    OK so look, they've got a very nice menu, whose various hamburger incarnations sound a little better than they are (Before y'Accuse Me, take a look at Fat Dan's). They've got less seating than they could fill, especially at the bar (no points off; as a new joint, what are you supposed to do?). They've got two legitimate, real-sharp-tip dartboards very near an exit door (differing opinions, depending on whether I'm a a knife-wielding Brit or hand-wringing litigious American*). What I was hoping to and didn't quite say above is that Twenty Tap isn't perfect. There are some non-ideal features. Some unfulfilled potentials. I guess. A better way of saying it I want to emphasize that I am searching, for reasons of Yelp legitimacy, for any reason to sub-5-star this joint. But there's this problematic fact: Twenty Tap (the tap count is actually now thirty-ish) is an immaculate curator of regional beers. There is no better place in town to go if you seek to get in touch with the very best of the Midwest's brewing culture. And considering that according to ratebeer.com three of the top three brewers in the world*, and Jolly Pumpkin, reside in the Midwest, this is no miniscule fact. *IN THE WORLD. Google it, si vous devez.

    20 Tap is one of my favorite bars in Indy, if not my favorite. This is partially because I live about 2 minutes away, but also because I've yet to experience such a wide selection of craft brews that changes DAILY (Not even my year and a half of living in Chicago led to such a find). A majority of the beers on tap are Indiana-brewed, and I've discovered a wide array of breweries/favorites as a result. Not only are the drinks here great, but the food is fantastic (and vegan/vegetarian friendly). My personal favorite is the Vegan Bahn Mi, while my boyfriend obsesses over the black bean burger. The aiolis are also very tasty. For those who don't like beer, they also offer a selection of wine.

  • James M.

    Now open on Sundays. This is a great place and great location. The food is always good pickled beet appetizer is fresh different and really good. The fried cheese curds is how cheese should be fried. Never had a bad experience here. Ask for Grace she'll take care of you she is the best.

    Twenty tap was so sorely needed in this area of town. It's totally laid back and is teeming with potential as it gets settled. The restaurant is a bit noisy, but that was perfect for a Tuesday night and dining with a toddler. (Yay! Beer and kids are allowed without feeling bad about taking up space)! My cute little beer geek was delighting in the selection of taps, what a treat. My mushroom reuben was to die for... yep, watch me lick that plate. And the homemade aioli's were delicious and creamy - almost like butter. The service, however lost this place a star. Our dark-haired waitress was really nice, though I too had been left unimpressed by the blonde-bun lady on a previous visit too. The main problem was that it took about a year and a half for our food to come out. I felt bad for the people who were hanging around for over 30 minutes for a table. Really, I wasn't interested in sitting there that long, hogging a table, either. So kitchen folks, it seems to me that you have an issue to work out. The space isn't being used all that efficiently, you can fit in a bunch more tables, but the kitchen can't keep up with the small number of tables that they already have. I guess, serve people enough beer and they'll forget their troubles about getting an actual table.

  • Theodore B.

    In all honesty, I hate this place. On the plus side, there are (more than) twenty beers on tap! That's great news, and it was probably a good idea for them to include this fact in their name. This alone should be enough to make Twenty Tap a 4-5 star establishment. Sadly, it just isn't one. The environment in Twenty Tap sucks. It's small and crowded, but it really just feels totally unwelcoming because no matter where you are it feels like you're close to the door. The menu annoys me. I mean, great, another place in Indianapolis that serves average burgers/sandwiches for like, 9$. I'm so sick of this. Indianapolis must be the only city in the universe with such an absurdly low cost of living where people think that 8-9$ an entree is cheap. It's not cheap. It's not expensive, but a burger at the alley cat is 5$ and way better than this. Same with Workingman's Friend. I just don't understand why this place serves food at all. If I was going to describe what Twenty Tap serves, it would be "food flavored food". This could have been a great establishment in a really cool area. But, it's not. ah well.

    (2)

  • Tom R.

    I really wanted to like this place because on the face of it they have all the ingredients for a great pub, however one major area spoils it, sound. The wooden walls just deflect noise back into the bar area making it incredibly noisy. Add families with small children and it gets exponentially worse. The beer is great the food is good but for me to want to go back they need to consult a sound engineer. The service could also be a bit better.

  • Michael Z.

    I've been both floored and completely underwhelmed here. It's a shame it's not all that consistent, and it seems to have everything to do with how busy the place is. The first time I went was a weekday early in its life. Despite the chef being a vegan, the burger's were beautifully cooked to order and made with great beef. It was kind of busy, but the service was still quick and thoughtful. My group got great suggestions from the bartender on their vast selection too. I thought I had found my new favorite place, and raved about it to a lot of people. I guess a lot of other people did the same... On another occasion, the place was jammed, and it seemed like a completely different place. The service was lethargic and uninformed. The burgers, fries and cheese curds all failed my previously formed expectations. But, the Bahn Mi still rocked. They may have fixed these inconsistencies since I last visited. And, if they have, you're in for a real treat. Here's to hoping the pendulum swings back and finds a happy medium.

  • Tristan S.

    The more often I go, the better it gets. The place is rather noisy and quite busy around 6 or 7pm Thurs. - Sat. But it's been worth the wait, especially for their beer selection, which features an array of Indiana and regional brews. Unfortunately, the chalkboards they write them on are often hard to read or obscured by bar-goers who always look anxious about the fact that people are peering over their shoulders at the low menu. Food highlights: The Onion burger is incredible. Vegan bahn mi and veggie burgers are pretty good. Service has been about average: sometimes quite friendly, other times not so much. We've seen it operate in fits and starts. Last time we were there, we arrived at 7:15pm on Saturday and were told there wasn't much of a wait on the phone right before we got there. We ended up waiting an hour for a table for four. But the succulent Onion burger (so called because it has several onion rings on it) and the Long John Silvers-esque fries (in a good way!) quickly made me forget our wait. Oh, and the beer didn't hurt, either. P.S. They offer flights of several beers of your choosing. Good deal if you can't make up your mind.

  • Theresa K.

    Eh. Twenty Tap. The parking is nonexistent, so you have to find a place on the street. When you walk in, it's really confusing as to sit down, wait for a seat, or what. There is absolutely no direction. We walked in, and I know a hostess or server saw us and ignored us until she was able to come over to us. Acknowledgement is always good, especially when you're so new that people probably don't know if they're doing the right thing. Luckily, there was an open seat, right up against another table. If you get a booth, you have a nice, large, spacious table. The rest of the tables were very close together, so close that you feel a bit uncomfortable squeezing in and out of your table. The people next to us overheard our order and commented on it. That was fine, though, but there are times where you just don't want people to be eavesdropping- Table sitting here is not the place if you want any privacy at all. I definitely overheard the whole conversation of a couple on the other side of us, and I was a bit annoyed. I had my back to the wall, and there was no beer list, so I had no idea what beers they had or what was on tap. Be sure to check out that wall when you come in. If you are sitting against the wall, it almost feels like people are staring at you. Our server was not very attentive. I think she kept getting overwhelmed or maybe just was a bit ADHD. She'd look up at the football game occasionally while we would be waiting for beer (something that takes a second to pour- eh). She was really nice, though. I'm sure she was probably just calming down from the busy mad rush. I would understand, as long as I have a beer in front of me ;) I went for a burger (can't remember which one)- just about all of them had something in it that I was completely unfamiliar with. The unfamiliar item on mine was some sort of ham? Oh, but the burger was so delicious and JUICY. Full of flavor. I belive the pickles are homemade- yum. We didn't order any because we were hungry for entrees, but they have CHEESE CURDS. So food- YES. Beer- YES (as long as it could be more clear?) Service- Could use a bit of work,and I'm sure it'll iron out as the place gets a bit more of a steady flow instead of mad rushes. Layout- Just really not that great. Don't really like being squeezed in, packed with a bunch of people I don't know, listening to their stupid conversations. Food- 4 stars Beer- 4 Stars Service- 3.5-4 stars Layout/atmosphere- 2 stars. I'm just gonna give it 4 (after debating 3).

  • Lorand M.

    Still not able to wrap my arms around the "atmosphere"...just seems to lack a conviviality to me.. Nice staff....not terribly outgoing....show very little interest in an infrequent visitor such as myself... I guess I expect the fake enthusiasm you get at places like Scottys. However, excellent and rotating beers...obviously chosen by folks who know and care about beer.. Food is pretty good...most recently smoked portabella rueben...an excellent take on the original......however....it seems my food gets the benefit of sitting out somewhere...as it never is very hot....the fries always luke warm....and it is usually after the barkeep says something along the lines of ...."ooops ! better check on your food"...and she brings it out immediately....maybe establish some means of informing the staff that food is ready for presentation ?? For the prices..which are not outrageous...I expect a bit better.

    At Twenty Tap, you know no strangers. Up front, my biggest disappointment was that there were no porters or stouts on tap! But there were, as the name suggests, more than enough options to satisfy. I wasn't hungry, but I couldn't resist sampling some of the food. I ordered the mac & cheese appetizer. It's very thick and creamy, and the tiniest big spicy. Would probably make a great entree too with some cajun chicken added - not sure if they offer that! The Tyranena Rocky's Revenge Bourbon Brown complemented the mac & cheese perfectly.

    I think Twenty Tap has the potential to be an awesome burger and brews joint. It's just not quite there. Some of the food is outstanding. Can't go wrong with the *original* fried cheese curds. I swear, I saw God when I ate them. The roasted garlic aioli is the perfect complement. The burgers are also satisfying --juicy and somewhat inventive, and priced fairly. The fries are perfect. Twenty Tap lacked in two areas for me: service and seasoning. The hostess, another young girl, accidentally crossed out our name and seated parties before us. She only realized it when we asked. A place that serves 20 beers on tap should employ people who know something about beer. The waitress I had wasn't knowledgable about the beer or food menus, describing a black lager as "dark." She also recommended my party of four get TWO orders of cheese curds based on the portion size. No one, we discovered, would ever need that many cheese curds (no matter how good they are). Now to the seasoning issue. The *spicy* fried cheese curds were as awful as the *original* cheese curds were amazing. The cook uses a blackening spice mix in the batter that overwhelms the dish with cumin and cayenne. It makes them nearly inedible. We told the waitress they sucked, basically, and she didn't care. The same seasoning mixture was used in the pulled pork sandwich. My sis-in-law, who doesn't like spicy food, ordered the sandwich and ate a fourth of it. The word "spicy" was never used to describe it on the menu, and the assumed manager asked if it was too spicy when she cleared the plate. Yes, my sis said, and then the manager complained about the cook. But she didn't take the sandwich off the bill or offer apologies. I am giving Twenty Tap three stars because I left the restaurant satisfied despite these things. Really, the fried cheese curds are worth a star on their own. We all agreed we'd rather return for apps and drinks.

    There are lots of great and accurate reviews of this place; I'll just review some basics. (1) GREAT beer. As the name conveys, 20 taps of various craft brews. I will say -- not the best overall balance. Our server admitted the selection can be a little heavy on certain types of beers. (2) Atmosphere is comfortable, dimly lit, but lively. There are two halves: a bar with plenty of standing room, plus two dart boards, and a seated restaurant-style area with booths and tables. (3) We sampled only appetizers, but they were delicious. It's difficult to find good fried cheese curds outside Wisconsin, but Twenty Tap succeeds. It comes with your choice of 2 out of 2 aiolis. All in all -- Twenty Tap is a great addition to the South Broad Ripple area. It was pretty busy when we went (granted, it was Friday evening). If you're a beer or gastropub fan, pay this place a visit!

    Let's think this through: Twenty taps. Oodles of local beer options. Well distinguished bar and restaurant spaces. Hoppin' intersection at 54th and College, often featuring a food truck. What's not to love? I happened to Finally make my way into Twenty Tap last week for a Girls' Pint Out event. Given that it was Three-Fifty Tuesday, the place was packed. Given that it was Three-Fifty Tuesday, I got to try Triton Brewing's Sin Bin (which I very much enjoyed) at a really reasonable price. Won't find that shiz in London when I hop the pond. The bartender was kind enough to let me try a couple beers too, as I wanted to get my bearings on some beers I had never tried before (I also gave the Fountain Square Brewing Bock a taste). The staff was busy, and it was hard to get up to order, but I luckily tucked in next to a local and was set for a few minutes while I waited for my brew. I imagine on a quieter night, it is quite a good place to enjoy a football game (not the American kind, you know how I roll) and a few pints. I didn't have the time, or space in my stomach, to try any of my foods. But, then again, the name is Twenty Tap, so it's clear what their focus is on. And I can speak clearly to that by saying: if you want options, you've got them. Again, what's not to love?

    LOVE that they have vegan options. I had the Bahn Mi and my mother had the BBQ Tempeh. The only (constructive) criticism that I have is that the tofu wasn't pressed or cooked, which was fine, but if the chef would press it and fry it, it would be out-of-this-world unbelievable! As it was, it was pretty soft and a bit messy. If it was pressed it would have soaked up the flavor beautifully. Love the beer selection, service was great :) Will hope to visit again, and would love to add a couple stars to the review!

    The only negative thing I could say about this place is the wait for a table upon arriving. If you can hold out for an hour wait or so, you're in for some great food. I haven't had a bad meal yet and the burgers are the best in the city. Along with a diverse range in style of beers, this place is always my first choice in dining out.

    After an intially poor first visit, I am now an official fan of Twenty Tap (proof that certain places definitely need more than one visit before you sit down to write the ol' yelp review). It's a warm and inviting place, with a welcoming staff, fabulous beer, and vegetarian menu offerings. Order some fries with some dipping sauces and you will wonder how you ever enjoyed the taste of beer without those awesome fries before. Salty deliciousness with garlicy horseradishey goodness. Or perhaps it helps that beer is awesome on its own. Anyways. It can get a little cold in winter with those gigantic windows, and the layout is a bit awkward if you're just standing, grab a seat at the bar if you can (or just wait for someone to stand up). The tables are a bit close together, so I don't usually attempt to dine on that side and prefer the bar. You don't have to be a beer snob to go there, and the staff will help you out with suggestions if you are at a loss. A nice mix of people in terms of the crowd (hispters, preps, business-y looking people) makes for good people watching too.

    Twenty Tap. Oh, Twenty Tap. Why did we wait so long to try you? After reading reviews and prompting from a fellow Yelper, we opted to hit Twenty Tap early on a Sunday afternoon. Lesson learned: they don't open until noon on Sundays...so we waited a few on the front patio then entered for lunch. Second lesson learned: beat the crowds by arriving early. I can see a plan developing... Anyway -- I knew I had to try the Cheese Curds despite being the only one at the table who could eat them. I got the horseradish and curried ketchup to dip. Let me just ditto what everyone in the history of ever says .... GET THE CHEESE CURDS. OMG. I made our server bring a to-go box just so I would not devour them all in one sitting. We also got the Hot Pretzels as an app so the hubs would have some pre-lunch noms. They were decent, the cheese was thin - so I stuck with the mustard for dipping. For lunch the hubs opted for the Tex Burger (no cheese) -- and he was very happy. I narrowed down all of the options I really wanted to the Shrimp and Grits -- mostly based on the recommendation from our attentive and amazing server Ryan. Thank you, Ryan! The Shrimp and Grits was the most savory S&G dish I have ever had. The grits were *just* cheesy enough to make an impact but not so overwhelming that they overpowered the dish. So well balanced and delicious. So much so that I kept eating despite being obscenely full causing me to have to roll out of there. Seriously -- so good. Another highlight for me was the beer selection. I often have trouble filling a flight of beers with all 'dark' beers... not here. I found enough to fill TWO flights. Smile. The selection was amazing and again, Ryan's suggestions were spot on. Flights are reasonable and priced per beer ($2-$3 per) and so worth it. Just a heads up -- trying multiple apps and beers adds up for 2 people. I don't think we planned on having a $70 lunch, but it happened....and I cannot wait to do it all over again.

    Given that I just recently turned 21, I've been venturing out to new bars in search of the perfect beer. Twenty Tap satisfied my needs to a tee. Overwhelmed with the amount of options, I chose the "Left Hand", simply because I'm left handed.. Anyway, the beer was excellent and will surely meet my left hand again soon. What about the food? Not feeling overly ambitious, I ordered the classic burger. Lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheddar cheese never tasted so good. Oddly enough the burger wasn't the tastiest thing on my plate.. HAVE YOU HAD THEIR FRIES? Hot, crispy, and smothered with seasoning left my "left hand" empty and waving for another! Finally, the service. Bet you thought there was going to be something negative about my experience.. Sorry, my waiter was great, the atmosphere was great, TWENTY TAP WAS GREAT.

    The service here is awesome! The food seems to be locally sourced as much as possible and it is well prepared. They have breakfast sandwich styles and Cubans and spicy chicken and salads. Awesome place for beer with an extensive list of local and regional, many are on tap. Outside dining under a canopy on the sidewalk across from fresh market.

    Can't go wrong with Twenty Tap! Casual dining with great beer and even better food! Try the Tex burger or the Black Bean burger! Believe it or not this vegetarian burger can hold its weight among the beef patties!! It's delicious! For starters, you have to go with the cheese curds. They make this place unique and you'll be hooked once you try them. You get two dipping sauces with your order. I recommend the chimichurri and the chipotle! Easily shared with 4 people. Hint: hold onto the left over sauces when you're done and dip your fries in when your entree comes! As far as drinks, it's pretty strictly a beer joint, but they do it oh so well! Affordable and a great, ever-changing variety. A couple things to be aware of: 1) no reservations and it can be pretty busy weekend nights. Put your name in and get a beer at the bar while you wait, or take a walk and they'll text you when your table is ready. 2) not a great place to watch a big game. No TVs. 3) no parking lot. Hit up the street parking. It's free!

    Checked out twenty tap for the first time yesterday with my fiancée for date night. There's so many good things going on - bang on appetizers , cheese curds in particular, nice section of burgers and sandwiches, and of course beer! You can do a flight (5 oz) of any 3 beers on tap for about 6 bucks. Their selection of bottled beer is pretty good as well. Our server was very attentive, and the food and drinks arrived pretty quickly. Special mention to the aoilis for the french fries - we tried roasted garlic and chipotle, both hit the spot. Definitely coming back for more!

    This is a great place in SoBro (South Broad Ripple). It's not your typical drunken college kid watering hole. They have mainly craft beers on tap and the menu is not your typical bar food. It's definitely foodie-friendly stuff. Prices are extremely reasonable and they even do a daily draft special (check the chalkboard menu on the wall). The burgers here are amazing and they have cheese curds! Just about everything is handmade and the results bear that out. Don't think this is some stuffy, nose-in-the-air, gastropub because everyone who works here (and dines/drinks here) seems very friendly. I've never been here and not seen the bar and restaurant side (kid-friendly as is the patio) at least half full. That is because the food is excellent as is the service.

    Beer selection is on POINT. Cheese curds....I could eat 4 plates full they are amazing! I had the smoked BBQ brisket on the onion bun and it was delicious! I will definitely be back here again!

  • Lesley S.

    My favorite lunch spot! (Except Mondays, no lunch. Wah.) The beer selection is on point and the food is pretty darn good. Always consistent and comforting. I love the vegan bahn mi, lettuce wraps, roasted veg salad, fries, and black bean burger. They have a nice selection of vegetarian options and often a tasty soup I can eat as well. The outdoor seating area is good for people watching and the indoor seating is perfect for hiding. (Sometimes I come to have lunch + a beer in my pajamas. I work from home!) Polite and knowledgable staff, fast service, great location.

  • Mark V.

    I am not seeing why people rave about this place. The food is "meh" and the prices aren't cheap. I've tried this location twice now and both times my meal has been flavorless and lacking ingredients that are crucial to the dish. Case in point today I ordered the Cuban sandwich. It had no mustard, pulled pork that was devoid of any flavor, and barely any ham or cheese. I guess if you order enough drinks ( of which they do have a great selection) you'll eventually get to the point where you don't notice that the food isn't very good. If you want a nice spot to sit outside and drink come here. If you want food that is good maybe go somewhere else. I'm not going to give them a third try.

  • Niki K.

    WOW- loved this atmosphere. The place was so homey, comfortable, and fun. There was an hour wait when we went, but just hung out in the bar and didn't mind at all. I got a pear cider and a classic burger and loved all of it. I also tried my friend's mac & cheese and man, was that to die for. Our service was very quick and friendly and there were also a lot of adorable babies there (definitely factored into the 5 star rating). Will be returning!

    Wahoo, I love Twenty Tap! This is probably my favorite (or at least top 3) in the SoBro area. It's within walking distance of my house and their beer selection is top notch. We stopped by yesterday on one of the first nice day's of the year and somehow were lucky enough to snag a patio seat. I love Twenty Tap's patio.... my only complaint is that the restaurant is not big enough to accommodate all of the people who want to enjoy the food and drink. Anyway. I highly recommend the cheese curds (YUM) as well as the the pressed turkey sandwich which, in my opinion, tastes just like Thanksgiving. I also love their simple salad as a side to the sandwiches. It is simple as the name states, but it's very light and refreshing with grated cheese, fennel and some sort of vinaigrette dressing. Not to be missed! Boyfriend got the black bean burger which was also excellent. Love the quality of food and that they use a lot of local vendors and ingredients. Everything's fresh and the beer is great too.

    This is exactly the bar I was looking for, when I was looking for a bar in Indianapolis. Truly top notch beer selections skewing heavily toward local ( a big plus in my book) and an extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic staff to help with the hard what-to-order decisions. Very important with a tap list like this one. Very happy with the food as well. I had the Mac & cheese bayou style, which was very tasty and filling. It's on the apps menu but a large is a substantial entree. The bar staff is superb, which really makes a beer bar these days. Great recommendations and quick to hook you up with a sample so you can make the hard decisions. Last but not least, super cool, diverse clientele, who I've really enjoyed hanging out with tonight!!

    After we checked into our hotel in Indianapolis, we wanted to hit a place with good food and good beer. I came across Twenty Tap on yelp and decided to check it out. No regrets. Great beer selection with the majority of them costing only $5. They also offer the pint of the day for only $3.50! What a steal. I was pretty overwhelmed by the beer list, but for a beer lover like myself..that's not a bad thing. I love being able to try new beers especially if they're local. Friendly service- our waiter was extremely attentive and helpful. The décor is meh..looks like a regular bar/restaurant. But it was pretty clean, so that's a plus. Now for the food... Beer cheese curds - good flavor but tad salty - chipotle & chimichurri sauce not too memorable. Chipotle tastes good but no kick to it like you would expect from a chipotle sauce. Smoked brisket sandwich - definitely had a kick to it when I ate it alone without the bread. Taste (not texture) for some reason reminded me of beef jerky. Maybe the sweetness of the sauce? Not too sure, but it was tasty nonetheless. Oh and the portion size was HUGE. I tried a bite of my friend's Cuban sandwich and it was good as well. Nice crunch from the toasted bread. The fries were amazinggg. Perfectly seasoned and nice and crunchy. Overall - I really liked my visit to Twenty Tap and if I were a local I would be regular. I come to Indy at least once a year for a game, so I'll be sure to come back here!

    I love that they have so many vegan options! The buffalo cauliflower is incredible (though I don't like that they use the term "wings"), especially dipped in their vegan ranch. I even like the way they cut their celery into thin strips! Whenever I go with my non vegan friends, they always start with poutine, and from the way they rave about it, I'm sure it great. I tend to stick with the vegan bahn mi for my entree, though sometimes they add too much sauce and it ends up tasting sweet. Luckily the o e time I tried to venture off and try the black bean burger, I had a knowledgable bartender who let me know that even with modifications, the black bean patty is not vegan. Service is hit or miss, but from my experience the bartenders always provide great service-it's the servers I've had difficulties with.

  • Ian J.

    Great fries. And food (for all food, including vegan, vegetarian). Great beer selection. But the place is tiny and can be tough to get a table at peak hours, esp in winter months. At least the bar area has enough room to stand if the chairs have filled up.

    (5)

  • Jason S.

    Love hitting up this place from time to time when I want a good selection of craft beers that you can't usually find elsewhere. They also have some good bites if you're in the mood to snack while you drink. Bottom line, if you like trying new beer, especially on tap, this should be in your regular rotation. My only complaint is that every time I'm in there multiple beers seem to be sold out. Last time I was in there I just happened to pick three in a row that were floated. That's pretty frustrating.

    After finishing another delicious meal at Twenty Tap, one of my friends remarked "This was the best burger I've ever had. I look forward to reading your 5 star review" I assured him I had already reviewed Twenty Tap and given it 5 stars". Imagine my surprise when I discovered I had yet to review them. I can't say much more than what has already been said, so I'm going to sum it up plain and simple. Plan to wait. They don't do call ahead or reservations. They have an awesome patio and a fun bar with tons of local beer. Enjoy your wait and have a drink. Unlike some other nearby places that have hundreds of beers on tap, they have about 30 beers and the bartenders can actually tell you things about what they have. They also have their own brewery downstairs (20 below) If you are vegetarian or vegan, enjoy that section of the menu because they do it right. If you're not, get a burger. They are fantastic. Any of them will do because they do them all perfectly. Also order cheese curds with the horseradish sauce. If you've only ever had frozen cheese curds (think Culver's) then you are in for a real treat with these freshly beer battered heavenly morsels. Service can be hit or miss, but its usually because they are incredibly busy all the time. The servers know their shit, it just takes a while sometimes because they get backed up. Overall, a clear 5 star place.

  • Brooke K.

    Ten Tips For Twenty Tap! 1.) Always order the cheese curds! Whatever you do, always order the curds. 2.) They offer a well crafted rotating list of local & Midwestern beers on draft. 3.) Beer menu changes daily and is readily available to view on their website. 4.) They serve their own beer (Twenty Below) brewed in their basement. 5.) Those cheese curds are amazing! 6.) French Breakfast Burger (Bacon jam) do I need to say more? 7.) Space is small be prepared to wait a while for a table. 8.) They source locally: Fischer Farms beef & Smoking Goose meats. 9.) Not in the mood for a burger? Order the delicious spicy pressed Cuban. 10.) Did I mention the cheese curds are extremely Curdalicious? Even better dipped in Sriracha & roasted garlic aioli.

  • Iris T.

    On my most recent visit, I tried the potato leek soup, but it was very disappointing. The garlic in it was so overwhelming that it drowned out any other flavor in the dish. They were also out of most types of breads. I asked for Amelia's bread on my sandwich, and they brought me a white hamburger bun. So either they were out, or they forgot and tried to cover. :) my salad was also overdressed on this last visit, and I had to wait a while for silverware/napkin. Saturday night is probably not a great time to dine there.

    Twenty Tap has great food. My wife and I have tried several things off the menu and almost everything is great. Their fries might even beat out Hopcat's "crack fries"! The beers don't beat other Broad Ripple options, though. Hopcat has more on-tap variety. And the Brew Pub and Brugge offer a lot more brewed in-house. I was also really dissapointed in my last visit because I ordered what was advertised as a "nitro" stout (i.e., Guinness clone) and got a flat, completely headless glass of beer. When I asked what happened to the head the waiter came up with all kinds of inventive answers before just switching it out for me. Inventive as in "That's the way nitros are," "We wanted you to have a full pint and not just foam," "I can get a spoon to stir it with, that will release the bubbles," and "The protein in the beer prevents the nitro from cascading and creating a head." All that was total silliness. I think their nitro tank was just low/out and they didn't want to worry about replacing it that moment.

    This restaurant/bar has a good atmosphere and even better beer. The crowd really just depends on the day and the time. I have come across some very long waits for a table. The beer list makes them what they are, hence the name. They have a lot of craft beers. You will always find something you want. The food... It's great! Yep, both good beer and good food! I've had everything from a burger to a salad. I've never had a bad thing. If you have a large group to share with, get the cheese curds!

  • Robert K.

    Great place for a Beer and a Burger. It can get crowded so you might have to wait but it's worth it. With a good food, friendly staff and reasonable prices, you will not be disappointed. I enjoy the French Breakfast Burger and their Cuban sandwich. They also have a few quality vegetarian items. I didn't give them a five star review because I have had under cooked burgers a couple of times but that didn't deter me from going back or enjoying my meal.

    Turkey Burger, The Percolator, The French Breakfast, Black Bean Burger, Brisket, Pulled Chicken...the hardest part is choosing which delicious sandwich you're going to devour. Don't forget to order fries as your side!

    Great food and nice beer selection. It looks like they update their beer menu daily. We started off with the cheese curds... Garlic aioli was perfect. I had a cheeseburger and my wife had the chicken sandwich. Both were very good. I wish they had more outdoor seating but I have a feeling a bigger spot won't be too far off. We will definitely be back.

    I came here with some idiot one time and didn't have an appetite because of said idiot, but I finally caved and tried some of the cheese curds and yoooooooooo. They are so good. I've gotten them every time I've come back (without the idiot).

I even like the way they cut their celery into thin strips! Whenever I go with my non vegan friends, they always start with poutine, and from the way they rave about it, I'm sure it great. I tend to stick with the vegan bahn mi for my entree, though sometimes they add too much sauce and it ends up tasting sweet. Luckily the o e time I tried to venture off and try the black bean burger, I had a knowledgable bartender who let me know that even with modifications, the black bean patty is not vegan. Service is hit or miss, but from my experience the bartenders always provide great service-it's the servers I've had difficulties with.

    Great fries. And food (for all food, including vegan, vegetarian). Great beer selection. But the place is tiny and can be tough to get a table at peak hours, esp in winter months. At least the bar area has enough room to stand if the chairs have filled up.

    After finishing another delicious meal at Twenty Tap, one of my friends remarked "This was the best burger I've ever had. I look forward to reading your 5 star review" I assured him I had already reviewed Twenty Tap and given it 5 stars". Imagine my surprise when I discovered I had yet to review them. I can't say much more than what has already been said, so I'm going to sum it up plain and simple. Plan to wait. They don't do call ahead or reservations. They have an awesome patio and a fun bar with tons of local beer. Enjoy your wait and have a drink. Unlike some other nearby places that have hundreds of beers on tap, they have about 30 beers and the bartenders can actually tell you things about what they have. They also have their own brewery downstairs (20 below) If you are vegetarian or vegan, enjoy that section of the menu because they do it right. If you're not, get a burger. They are fantastic. Any of them will do because they do them all perfectly. Also order cheese curds with the horseradish sauce. If you've only ever had frozen cheese curds (think Culver's) then you are in for a real treat with these freshly beer battered heavenly morsels. Service can be hit or miss, but its usually because they are incredibly busy all the time. The servers know their shit, it just takes a while sometimes because they get backed up. Overall, a clear 5 star place.

    Ten Tips For Twenty Tap! 1.) Always order the cheese curds! Whatever you do, always order the curds. 2.) They offer a well crafted rotating list of local & Midwestern beers on draft. 3.) Beer menu changes daily and is readily available to view on their website. 4.) They serve their own beer (Twenty Below) brewed in their basement. 5.) Those cheese curds are amazing! 6.) French Breakfast Burger (Bacon jam) do I need to say more? 7.) Space is small be prepared to wait a while for a table. 8.) They source locally: Fischer Farms beef & Smoking Goose meats. 9.) Not in the mood for a burger? Order the delicious spicy pressed Cuban. 10.) Did I mention the cheese curds are extremely Curdalicious? Even better dipped in Sriracha & roasted garlic aioli.

    Twenty Tap has great food. My wife and I have tried several things off the menu and almost everything is great. Their fries might even beat out Hopcat's "crack fries"! The beers don't beat other Broad Ripple options, though. Hopcat has more on-tap variety. And the Brew Pub and Brugge offer a lot more brewed in-house. I was also really dissapointed in my last visit because I ordered what was advertised as a "nitro" stout (i.e., Guinness clone) and got a flat, completely headless glass of beer. When I asked what happened to the head the waiter came up with all kinds of inventive answers before just switching it out for me. Inventive as in "That's the way nitros are," "We wanted you to have a full pint and not just foam," "I can get a spoon to stir it with, that will release the bubbles," and "The protein in the beer prevents the nitro from cascading and creating a head." All that was total silliness. I think their nitro tank was just low/out and they didn't want to worry about replacing it that moment.

    This restaurant/bar has a good atmosphere and even better beer. The crowd really just depends on the day and the time. I have come across some very long waits for a table. The beer list makes them what they are, hence the name. They have a lot of craft beers. You will always find something you want. The food... It's great! Yep, both good beer and good food! I've had everything from a burger to a salad. I've never had a bad thing. If you have a large group to share with, get the cheese curds!

    Great place for a Beer and a Burger. It can get crowded so you might have to wait but it's worth it. With a good food, friendly staff and reasonable prices, you will not be disappointed. I enjoy the French Breakfast Burger and their Cuban sandwich. They also have a few quality vegetarian items. I didn't give them a five star review because I have had under cooked burgers a couple of times but that didn't deter me from going back or enjoying my meal.

    Turkey Burger, The Percolator, The French Breakfast, Black Bean Burger, Brisket, Pulled Chicken...the hardest part is choosing which delicious sandwich you're going to devour. Don't forget to order fries as your side!

  • Gern B.

    Great food and nice beer selection. It looks like they update their beer menu daily. We started off with the cheese curds... Garlic aioli was perfect. I had a cheeseburger and my wife had the chicken sandwich. Both were very good. I wish they had more outdoor seating but I have a feeling a bigger spot won't be too far off. We will definitely be back.

    I came here with some idiot one time and didn't have an appetite because of said idiot, but I finally caved and tried some of the cheese curds and yoooooooooo. They are so good. I've gotten them every time I've come back (without the idiot).

    Found this place while in town for the Indianapolis 500, reviews sounded good so we decided to check it out....exactly what we were looking for. We were there on a Friday night at 6 pm and when we drove up, it looked kind of small so we expected to wait especially given which weekend we were there. Hostess said about 30 minutes which even was a bit surprising but we found a couple spots at the bar and cancelled that. No wait at all. 25-30 beers on tap from all over the country (and world). Very impressive. We ordered cheese curds with hopes of getting dinner lately but they were quite filling so we just drank more beer. Not being from the Midwest never had true Midwestern curbs before but my friend from Wisconsin said these were just as good as any. Food looked really good too and the burgers huge. Nice little area with other little restaurants away from the city and the motor speedway too, would absolutely recommend.

    let me tell you... great beer selection and awesome cheese curds. I only got to taste the beer (three floyd's-gumball head and something grapefruit) because the other guys in the bachelor party ate all the cheese curds.

  • Alexandrea P.

    Good-amazing poutine, gravy, cheese curds and fries-on point and the beat I've had (though I've only had 3 poutine's. Good beers and sometimes great service. Great veggie burger, decent salads Bad: often a wait, mixes crowd of some hipsters, loud mouthed people, and randomly kids there which seems weird in a gastropub. Run out of beer early on, sometimes not great service. Owner is same as next doors Fat Dan'a which is a cooler give but missing some of the beers and food that makes twenty Tao great.

  • Christie M.

    I liked the variety of beers on tap. Correction my husband liked that part. My favorite is the cheese curds. The fake sriracha was not as spicy as the real stuff. Our waitress blew it when it came to ordering food. We ordered one app and she cut us off and took orders of the table next to us. Totally rude! Like ok, so you don't want me to order more food and spend more money? Do we look like poor college students or something? Ok done ranting. Did like sitting outside and catching up with our close friends. Liked the beers, cheese. My Cuban was soggy. Flavor is a little off.

    I love this place. It's got the feel of an old time pub. Today is sat across from a group of guys with varying ages, from 25-50, all enjoying a good drink, lively conversation and plenty of laughs. They seemed to epitomize the spirit of this place. A place you take all of your best buddies to to laugh, drink, and enjoy great food. Speaking of the food... The fried cheese curds are to die for. I personally am a big fan of the French Breakfast Burger- good good good!!! Their house fries are seasoned perfectly, and there is always good beer on tap. This place has everything I'm looking for in a casual have a beer and burger joint. I highly recommend!

  • Kelsey B.

    The chicken sandwich is mouthwatering! Both the service and the food here is excellent. Our server, Ryan, was very attentive and friendly. He recommended a burger that wasn't on the menu to my boyfriend, and we were both very satisfied with our meals. Also, try the one of a kind pineapple ale. It was a perfect pair.

    I finally found the secret to going to Twenty Tap and enjoying yourself...show up between 2 and 5pm. It's a LOT less crowded and you probably won't have to wait for a table. I've always loved the food but have generally been put off by the loudness and those weird 2-tops that are half booth and half table. Butts skimming pint glasses as people get in and out...not cool. We went Saturday and arrived at about 3:45. We were seated immediately and even got to choose our table! He had a pint of some porter, I had a flight which included 3 microbrews (a stout, a hefeweizen, and a scotch ale). All the beers were delicious. LOVE that you can get a 3-beer flight for $6 because I like to try all the beers but don't like to get drunk at lunch. We split the cheese curds, which are awesome, then split the spicy Cuban sandwich (a regular Cuban but with pepperjack subbed for swiss and sriracha added), also awesome, with awesome fries. We had a bottle of Sriracha on the side for dipping the curds in along with the garlic and chimichurri aiolis. Yum, yum, yum. Portions here are good-sized, so unless you have a monstrous appetite splitting an entree and an app between 2 people will likely be plenty of food. If you're still not full after your curds and such, Graeter's ice cream is just a few blocks away at 56th and Illinois. Crave: Cheese Curds, Cubans, Beers, Beer Cheese, Aiolis

    Things that are great here: -Beer selection. With a Pint of the Day for $3.50, plus a plethora (hint: more than twenty taps) of drafts from the Midwest and beyond, there's something for every palate. -Fried. Cheese. Curds. How have I lived my whole southern life without knowing these exist? It's like mozzarella sticks taken to a whole new chewy level. Amazing. Things that could improve: -Banh mi. Speaking frankly, here, banh mi should be on a French baguette so crispy and crunchy it hurts your teeth to bite it. This bread was more hot dog bun than baguette, and too soft to support the juicy pulled pork it encased. -Sauces. I really support what 20T is doing here with their variety of sauce options, but the ones I tried did not live up to the hype. The horseradish was underwhelming, to say the least--pretty much just a plain-jane aioli with zero kick. When I order horseradish, I want it to be a sinus bomb of flavor and heat; don't hold back. The sriracha sauce was great in theory, but when the bartender brings over a bottle of actual sriracha to accompany it, you know it won't be hot enough. The rosemary was by far the best, but even it could've been more herb-y. Sauces should be strong and flavor-filled and bold in small amounts to balance out their dipped counterparts. These just don't get there. Would still come back to try the other beers and the poutine, as well as for the cheese curds. The curds alone are worth a repeat trip.

  • Clare L.

    I'm not sure why I go anywhere else when I'm craving a brew and a burger. I've tried every burger on the menu and I think The Tex is my favorite. No wait... maybe its the Wrath? The fries that come with it are some of the best around - order some chipotle aioli to dip 'em in. Also can't go wrong with the pimento mac n cheese, poutine or beer battered cheese curds. Seriously EVERYTHING is delicious. The beer menu is impressive of course and even though it changes every time I come, if I don't know what I want, the friendly bartenders help out with that. Nikki is the best! Can you tell I love Twenty Tap?

  • Jason S.

    Love hitting up this place from time to time when I want a good selection of craft beers that you can't usually find elsewhere. They also have some good bites if you're in the mood to snack while you drink. Bottom line, if you like trying new beer, especially on tap, this should be in your regular rotation. My only complaint is that every time I'm in there multiple beers seem to be sold out. Last time I was in there I just happened to pick three in a row that were floated. That's pretty frustrating.

    Came here on a weekend with some friends. The place was packed so we waited 40 minutes to get seated. Being a cheese curds fanatic, of course I had to order some as an appetizer. I had a crappy day earlier and was in a bad mood. But when I took my first bite, everything got miraculously better. The cheese curds were fresh, beautiful and delicious: the perfect combination of the crispy and gooey goodness. Suddenly the universe made sense again. These cheese curds are definitely the proof that God exists. Then we had a bunch of beer samples, which is a great deal to try new kinds. I think I ordered some kind of veggie sandwich, but I was too drunk to remember what it tasted like. Our waiter, Peter, was literally the best. I might have got his name wrong, but he's the guy with the awesome beard. He was patient, funny and basically the perfect waiter. Overall I had a very pleasant experience. The atmosphere and decor weren't my favorite, but that's not a big deal. Would come again next time I'm in Indy.

    Finally got the chance to check this place out! A few friends and I went there on a Thursday evening around 5:15. There was a street parking and a decent crowd but we beat the larger rush. The cheese curds are a must- you get your pick of sauces-I recommend the chimmichurri and the garlic aioli. I also tried the Mac and cheese -it was tasty, cheesy and had the option of bacon. The real highlight was the beer selection (hint, don't be fooled by the name-there are many more than twenty options) The burgers were a hit with my friends and there were also a lot of veggie/vegan options. Overall it's a solid place.

    Great food to eat. This is my 3rd time back at 30 tap, coming in town from Chicago for business. We had for appetizer the beer cheese curds were fresh and tasted great with the sauce.. Also the beets tasted wonderful when you are them with the red beet and another yellow beet, the combination of that with the lettuce and balsamic vinegar was a good mix. We also had the lettuce wrap with pork and it tasted great! The main sandwich I had was a Cuban sandwich which was out of this world. I would highly recommend this place for others to eat!!!

    Twenty Tap has amazing food, a great beer selection, and a fun atmosphere. I love the amount of vegetarian foods that they offer. I would absolutely recommend the mushroom Ruben. And cheese curds. You can't forget to order the cheese curds! We always have amazing service. My only complaint would be that I wish they could expand- there is a pretty long wait for a table on most weekends. Even so, the wait is worth it!

    We are obsessed!! Great staff, great food, both family friendly and a great place to go with just friends. I love the turkey burger and cheese curds with curried ketchup. My husband could eat the banh mi daily. I would recommend this to anyone.

  • Ron R.

    I love Twenty Tap...I have been here countless times and can't think of a single bad experience...therefore 5 stars! My go-to option for food is the Pulled Brisket....delicious heaping portion of Beef Brisket that I imagine was cooked in a slow cooker....tender and flavorful. The Cheese Curds I only get if there are several people there to split them with me...otherwise I'd eat the whole thing and make myself sick! :) My girlfriend typically gets the Bahn Mi which is great according to her...I've never been a huge fan of that sandwich regardless of who makes it. This time she got their daily special which was an Udon bowl with peanut sauce and mixed vegetables along with some fried tofu....I tried a bit and it was great. If you live in Indy...this place is a must try.

  • Diana M.

    I had shrimp and grits--delicious! My friends had fish tacos and brisket. Also excellent. Inventive menu with thoughtful ingredients. Great selection of beers and the waitstaff was very knowledgeable. I had the server recommend a 3 beer flight and he made great choices for me. The basement-brewed beer was also excellent. They were also very patient with our group (probably helped that it was a Tuesday night and not a busy Saturday) as we were yakking it up. The fried cheese curds were...fried cheese curds. I've had fresh cheese curds in Wisconsin, and it's really not the same thing. But we had no trouble finishing them, that's for sure!

  • Amanda B.

    First off, the cheese curds with the chimchurri aoli sauce are so good. If you enjoy a party in your mouth, you'll be happy. they have all kinds of different beer and the have pear cider, a personal favorite of mine, so I was a happy girl. I ate the French Breakfast burger, and it was good. I've had better and I've had worse, but all of their food options were interesting, and the seemed to have a decent selection of vegetarian options. It's definitely worth checking out, if only for the huge beer selection. Will return.

    Where do you go when a snowstorm knocked out power to the city? Twenty Tap. Or at least that's where everyone is So Bro was on Monday, January 6th! Oh, if they were only double in size to accommodate all those wanting in! I waver between 3 & 4 stars for this alone. Each time we go, we're either waiting in a crowd at the door or one of those being stared down by someone eyeing our table. Just hope that you're not seated elbow to elbow next to a loud party. Well, it's very loud no matter where you sit. They could certainly benefit from some acoustic treatments. And that guy did really bump me while I ate. Weird. Don't take a soon to be ex here to break up unless you want the party next to you all up in your business. They can't help it (that is unless they're in a booth). Parking is well, like the wait and the seating. So why, do you ask, do I still go? The food is delicious! Everything on the menu is great. Really. Cheese curds, yes! Pimento mac & cheese? YES! The burgers are phenomenal and the beer selection equally good. There are vegan and gluten free options as well. I also like that it's kid friendly, because the thought of them peering through the window watching as we enjoy our brews & burgers would just be sad.

    they make some beers, but you can't get them in six packs. They do, however come in growlers. Pow! Take that, confusing & antiquated Sunday beer laws! Food was great... nice to see quinoia on the menu. Went for lunch on a Wednesday with 8 people, no wait at all.

    Delicious french fries! Right off the bat those tasty fried potatoes had my taste buds dancing. My Egg Sandwich was very good but I asked for the chipotle sauce on the side because I was afraid it would be a little too spicy for me (I'm a wimp) and they left it on and it was too spicy. Aside from that, it was an enjoyable meal. My co-workers enjoyed their meals as well. Plenty of food per portion but not too much which is nice. Fair pricing and a heart establishment. The service was a little slow and it took a while to get our lunch out which was pretty inconvenient considering we were on our break from work. Especially since we were there before the rush and our food still took too long. I will just have to make the trip down for dinner since I can't afford 1.5 hour lunch breaks!

    Went here in the middle of the afternoon with a bunch of friends for some brews and snacks. Such a variety of beer! It was hard to pick! Our server was very knowledgable and was able to make great suggestions on what he thought we'd like. I order the melt for a sandwich. It wasn't the best patty melt I've had but it was pretty good. The jalapenos added something extra. I had a taste of my husband's cheese curds, they weren't that great. Super greasy and oily and I had my food for a good while longer than he did because they said they were behind on making cheese curds. I would probably go back for a snack and a beer. Definitely a beer.

  • T.j. K.

    My wife went here with some coworkers and was kind enough to bring me home some food to eat. Because of that I can't speak to service or anything like that but the food was excellent. The food that I had was the spicy Cuban and French fries with a few bites of my wife's leftover mac and cheese. The mac and cheese and fries were both very good but it was the Cuban that was the star. Everything about the sandwich from the meat and bread to the heat from the mayo and pepper Jack cheese worked together perfectly. I can't wait to get back for the whole experience and try some different items off the menu.

  • Jelly R.

    Disclaimer: As a woman in her early thirties who doesn't drink beer, I'm probably not this place's target demographic. Nevertheless, I've been waiting to try this place for a long time (because I heard the food was food), but it's always been busy. Came here for a late lunch, and had the "new" pressed turkey sandwich (turkey, cranberry compote, brie, arugula, and caramelized onions on sourdough bread) with a side of cole slaw, while my husband got the cuban sandwich with a side of fries and an Evil Twin IPA. The pressed turkey sandwich sounded good in theory, but in practice it just had too much going on. The cole slaw was not "creamy," as the menu describes, but it wasn't bad, either. . . it was just kind of bland. Don't get me wrong: the food was decent, just not anything I'd go out of my way to go back for. The building is old and the inside was kind of generic, and for some reason reminded me of MacNivens. The tables were way too close together, similar to Cheesecake Factory, so you're right on top of the people to your right and left, which makes having anything other than a superficial conversation uncomfortable. The service, however, was very good, and the beer menu was pretty extensive. Solid three stars. (And no, three stars is not the new one star, Yelpers and business owners . . . according to Yelp, three stars means "A-OK", four stars means "Yay! I'm a fan", and five stars means "Woohoo! As good as it gets!")

    Best Turkey Burger. I ate every last morsel of perfection. The fries were also great. One can't go wrong with battered fries. Don't forget that ketchup and Sriracha make a good combo. Get it all washed down with a Tripel from Brugge. Overall, nice beer and food selection. Next item up for bid are the cheese curds! Can't believe I didn't get them.

    Came here tonight and got to sit outside, since it was so lovely out. I had seen the menu beforehand and was very excited about their selections. This is the kind of food I love, unpretentious, creative, delicious food. No menu item seems boring. I had the Turkey Press: juicy turkey, brie, crisp pear, rosemary aioli, arugula and pickled onion on perfectly toasted sourdough bread. As I side I had a sweet potato and sausage soup. It was surprisingly spicy and incredibly enjoyable. The soup was just barely pureed so the texture was chunky and wonderful. My friend had the cheese curds.. Something you shouldn't live without. The chimichurri aoili is bomb. The beer list is impressive, especially since it's all draft. I had the chamomile wheat which was tasty. The quality beers complement the delicious food. Service was great too!

    Twenty Tap is one of my favorite restaurants in the city!! The location holds a special place in my heart as i was a regular at the Northside News. Twenty Tap has one of the best craft beer selections in the city (about 40 taps). They change up their selection time to time and is always awesome. They have a fairly wide variety of types of beer from IPA's to Porters but do not have any cheap light beers. they serve to people who enjoy great beer. The food here is great. I have stated and stand strong in my claim that they have the best black bean burger in the city! The cheese curds are insane!! the charcuterie plate, fries and pretzels are wonderful and they put the Northside News famous pressed cuban sandwich on the menu and it is amazing!! (thank you for that) The staff here compliments all the great food and drinks. They are all very friendly, professional and thorough. Now a pointer for anyone who hasn't been here before. If you get there after 6pm on the weekends you will be standing in the bar (as there wont be any seats) and there will be a wait in the restaurant. It is a very popular place for lots of locals and families to come to.

    We are frequent visitors of Twenty Tap! Our service was above and beyond exceptional last night so I HAD to come write a review. As always the food was delicious. New to the summer menu Veggie Buffalo Wings! Tempura cauliflower with vegan buffalo sauce...AMAZING! No beer for us during this visit but they always have a great selection! I was most impressed by our server Drew! He was extremely busy yet full of knowledge, recommendations and provided excellent service!

    Twenty Tap has a terrific selection of local beers that is always changing. I have not had that many of their food items, but what I have had is very tasty. The environment is nice, though it can be very hard to have a conversation when it is busy because it is very noisy. Other than that, though, great place!

    Beer after Pho?! You betcha! After a wondrous dinner at Saigon restaurant in Lafayette Square, Indianapolis, a smaller group of friends and I decided to hit up Twenty Tap, which was a local watering hole in Indianapolis. The place was already crazy as it is, but we wanted to go drinking, so off we went. The ambiance was loud, as bars tend to be, but the ambiance atmosphere tends to mitigate any concerns about anything you may have about the world at the time. While I stopped myself at 4 beers that night, it didn't stop my friends from going into town. By the end of the night, we ended up calling a friend for a friend to pick her up, whereas a fiend and I decided to use his lyft app and organized a ride for us stupid drunks. There were local beers on tap, which I wanted to try out. Most of them came from Indiana area breweries, but there were regional imports as well. Twenty Taps is located at 5406 N College Avenue in the SoBro district in Indianapolis. We had to find street parking, since there was signage that said we could not park in the lot across from the business, which was a bummer. Like most bars and watering holes, Twenty Tap accepts credit cards, so that's a great thing. The beers were pretty good and it was a nice way to cap off Friday night, after a day of traveling, seeing the Indy Mini marathon expo, and having Pho at Saigon restaurant. I did taste test them cheese curds and it was decently good. There were no seating available, so we just stood around to the side and hang out talking while drinking beers and enjoying Friday night, knowing that the weekend is coming! Yay! The prices here are decent and comparable to other Gastropubs in the area. They have an extensive beer list, so it was impossible to pick just one. I had to pick just a few to savor some of the flavors of each beer that was offered. Service here is always spot on and happy that I came here with friends to drink and eat more. I think I am going to put on weight after this, but I don't care. I enjoyed myself and hopefully you will do the same. Recommended for you and your friends, if you are in the neighborhood and need to get your liquor on! Support local! B+

    The food is pretty good, but what really draws me here is the beer. There is almost always something new and interesting on the rotation. I have drank many great 3 Floyds beers here, and they often have Green Flash West Coast IPA (which is one of my favorites and it is hard to find fresh in Indy). I hope they don't get wiped out by HopCat, so I will be supporting them as much as I can. The cheese curds are totes amazeballs! Get em with the chimichurri sauce. The rest of the food is good (I've tried many different things). There are a few burgers that I like better in the city, but I will rarely turn down a friend that says "How bout we go to Twenty Tap?"

    Great neighborhood pub with the perfect sized menu of burgers, sandwiches and house favorites. Twenty Tap is in my hood, and I was so happy when they moved in after I heard about all of the local brews they would offer. At the time, Aristocrat was still in renovation, so there were little options for grabbing a local brew after hours. Tuesday's are pint nights, but go early - it gets packed and you don't want to get in the way of the folks playing darts! Twenty Tap is known for their juicy burgers that come with a variety of toppings. They also have sandwiches, soups and salads, but it's clear that you go to Twenty Tap for a burger or a hefty sandwich like pulled brisket or a mufaletta. Don't forget to order their also well-known cheese curds as an appetizer, served with a choice of two house aioli's. Just be prepared to share...

    Pros: Delicious fries and black bean burger (actually made in house and not a Morningstar patty!) Cons: Very small, so your wait time can be a little long on a busy night

    Came here on a Saturday night, around 6pm. Really really enjoyed this restaurant. The food was extremely tasty. I ordered the French Breakfast beef burger along with a TowYard IPA (special of the day, only $3.50 for a pint) and an appetizer of cheese curds (served with a garlic aioli and a cilantro aioli). I'll start with the burger: so many flavors and they were all of high-quality. The bacon jam is insanely good and the crispy fried onions added a lot of character to the burger. It was served with a large pile of seasoned french fries (seasoning included salt, garlic, and parsley). The burger was cooked Medium, and perfectly so. There were reddish juices dripping out and it was just divine. The grill flavor was apparent and incredibly delicious. The cheese curds were also simply amazing. While a little pricey ($7!), they were the perfect compliment to a deliciously bitter IPA. Basically, fried cheese curds are little balls of (mozz?) cheese with a crispy fried batter as the coating. You get the choice of 2 sauces (aioli) per order, with about 8-9 to choose from. The restaurant interior itself left a little to be desired but I didn't expect much from a bar/grill. Slightly hipsterish, but not too much so. Also, it was pretty loud inside, but then again it is a bar and the Kentucky Derby was on. Overall, the food is amazingly tasty, slightly gourmet even, and the prices are just right. I felt that everything (with a slight exception to the cheese curds) was priced normally. Great beer selection, too. I'd like to stop-by once I'm in the area again. Awesome, awesome place.

    not a bad beer on the list, was very impressed by the burger. Found a seat at the bar on a busy tuesday night after a few minutes. May have to hit this place again before I head out of town.

    Twenty Tap is the black mamba of bar food because everything they have just KILLS. (In a good way.) Making condiments and soups from scratch shows in the quality of every item on this very varied and vegetarian friendly menu. My favorite appetizer is the pretzels and mustard (add beer cheese). The mustard is so spicy and thick that Stefon from SNL might call it "Indianapolis' Hottest Mustard." This appetizer comes with pickled vegetables that I could eat like candy for the rest of my life. I usually stick with one of the seasonal salad offerings, which change all of the time. The vegan Bahn Mi is out of this world, which matches the double fried fries that you can add to it. I have never walked away from here hungry, I almost always have leftovers, and I've never met a beer here I didn't like.

    Twenty tap has a great selection of beers and a great atmosphere to hang out. Their fries and cheese curses are AMAZING! Had a great Saturday night and would definitely return. The only concern was a 40 min wait, but I guess that should be expected on a weekend.

    I'm not a beer drinker so this review is for the food only. We came here on a Monday evening for my coworker's birthday and this place was totally full by 5:30 p.m. Two of us arrived together and we had to wait for the rest of our party to come to be seated, which ended up being an hour later. We wandered over to the bar area where a couple people got beer (local, natch) and chatted. When the rest of the crew arrived, we told the hostess, who occasionally would check on us to see if she could seat us. We were promptly seated and began exploring the menu. We started with an appetizer of the beer-battered cheese curds. Yum! The aoili sauces that came with it were awesome. I decided on a brisket sandwich with jalapeno marmalade, barbecue sauce, and cheddar cheese on an onion bun. It was good but not great. There was some sauce or flavoring that didn't hit me quite right. Try as I might, I was not able to eat it like a sandwich without half the meat falling out. The fries were pretty good. The service we received was good. Our drinks were refilled, suggestions were given and specialized orders were accommodated. I want to try Twenty Tap again and get something else from the menu. Nothing was bad at all, it just didn't knock it out of the park for me.

    Awesome food. Multiple vegetarian options, all are delicious and exciting. Seasonal menu, so there always seems till be something different. The cauliflower wing app is my favorite. Meat eaters like everything, especially the burgers and Cuban. Amazing fries. Great selection of craft beers.

  • Christin J.

    Totally love the beer list (you can't beat it). I think the food is okay but it doesn't always seem worth the wait to me. If you can wait in line on a Tuesday, give it a shot or hang out in the bar area.

  • Tonya S.

    LOVE Twenty Tap! They have one of the best "on tap" beer selections in Indy (in my opinion). You can view their daily beer list here: twentytap.com/#!beer-lis… I have only had a few things on the menu, but everything has been delicious! Each time I see a plate being carried out to a table, I am constantly eyeing it and thinking, "Oh.....what is that??!!" Everything looks absolutely wonderful! I highly recommend the cheese curds for a small plate or appetizer. You can view the menu here: twentytap.com/#!menu/cm65 This place is very popular and packed most of the time. Yet, you can put your name in for a table or wait for a bar seat to open up. They have a patio out front, which is great for people watching. The only thing I don't like is that their patio is not pet friendly. Favorite thing about Twenty Tap....$3.50 pints on Tuesdays!

    This was recommended by some locals. I was not mad about it. Cool vibe inside. Fantastic service! I sat in the bar area but couldn't get a seat at the bar-bar tender was very attentive and friendly! Decent tap list. I had a turkey burger with goat cheese and it was amazing! I would definitely go back!

  • Becky H.

    Great food, great staff, and great beer. My friends and I go here weekly, Tuesday nights to be exact. I love their simple salad, cheese curds, mac n cheese, pressed cuban... ok well the whole menu really.

  • Kendra S.

    Some of the best pub food in Indy! Great burgers, and the cheese curds are worth a stop by themselves! Extensive vegan and vegetarian menu, would recommend the buffalo cauliflower bites and vegetarian poutine fries-wow! And the beer... So much good beer. And kid friendly too on one side if you're into that.

    Best. Fries. Ever. I know this place is supposed to be about the beer, but you have to get the fries. Or the cheese curds. Or, really, just anything. It's all good. Their sandwiches are enormous with the perfect amount of spice when necessary. The reuben, the pulled pork, the whitefish... drool. I'm not the best to review beer, but I will say that this is the only place where I've received a beer suggestion that I actually liked. They have twenty beers on tap that change every once in a while (they update the menu daily), and they know their beer--often using vocabulary that makes me raise an eyebrow. I just assume they know what they're talking about, because they've never failed me before. The only complaint I have is that the waiting time is usually pretty long. But, I wouldn't want them to get a bigger place. It's a great atmosphere with a true local feel--none of that chain nonsense. This is one of my favorite spots in South Broad Ripple. Go here! And I'll come with you.

    I came here to meet up some friends. They love this place and I thought I would give it a go. The bartender was amazing and super helpful in choosing a beer for me. I tried the Pork Bahn Mi. I have to say that for some crazy reason this sandwich has become a major trend in most restaurants. The Bahn Mi at Twenty Tap is probably one of my favorites. I love how they serve it with dill pickles on the side and the french fries are perfect. I can't wait to go again and try the Poutine. The menu is varied so it offers something for everyone and is not over pretentious. They also offer Vegan options which I think are awesome. If you're looking for a new spot to try I suggest this one!!!

  • Heather H.

    I would like this place a lot more if the wait for a table were generally more than an hour whenever I try to go. That being said, if you can go at an off time, the food here is killer, as is the beer selection. Last night I discovered a new favorite - vegetarian poutine. Let me say that again in case you missed it - VEGETARIAN POUTINE. They also have great veggie burgers, a vegan bahn mi, awesome cheese curds, mac and cheese. You get the point. And the beer list. Oh, the amazing beer list. I'm just going to leave it at that. I just wish I could come here at dinner time and not have to wait!

    Awesome brunch spot! The battered buffalo cauliflower is amazing and so are the burgers. Would definitely recommend!!

  • Chlz E.

    This is one of my favorite places in Indy, except it always has a crazy wait on weekend nights. You can always chill and drink at the bar, or try going on a weeknight or for lunch. The cheese curds and their fries are soooo awesome. The cajun mac and cheese was pretty good but not really spectacular. Also, if you like spicy stuff, get the spicy cuban. It's probably one of my favorite things ever. Plus, beer. So yeah, love this place. The only thing that sucks is that they really pack you in and you're super close to other customers.

  • Tara F.

    Poutine. Noun. Definition: a dish composed of French fries, cheese curds, green onion and brown gravy. Example sentence: This poutine is the prime reason to go to Twenty Tap. Literally. Amazing dishes such as the poutine are what I love about this gastropub. That and the extensive beer list. Oh the beer list. Complete with Bell's stouts, my newest obsession. Downside? It's crazy to get a table on some days, such as game days with the Butler crowd, and you can only drink in the bar section.. They have been known to kick you out of the food section for just order stout and water. Do NOT be one of those people! Overall, go here! Oh, and order the poutine.

  • GA Z.

    Great food and beer choices. However, I recommend sitting on the bar side for the other side is very cramped and uncomfortable.

  • Sanchez H.

    OMG! I think this place is AWESOME! I mean seriously...craft beers and delicious imaginative vegetarian/vegan dishes..how can it get any better than this!? I'm kicking myself that I haven't tried this place sooner. I had the Vegan Buffalo Wings--Yum! The Beet Salad also tasty but the all out bombdiggity was the Black Bean Burger! Holy meat free deliciousness, Batman! that Veggie burger has got me hooked! Even the meat eaters at our table were quite pleased with their selections: Cuban sandwich, Fish sandwich, Beef burger--the fries were super yum too. The menu is just fantastic--its creative, its fresh--I think there is something for everyone here! Overall super place, great beer and menu selections with nice staff too--our waiter, Ian, was attentive and helpful on a busy Friday night to boot!.

  • Chad H.

    One of my favorite places I eat in Indianapolis. The have hands down my favorite fries ever, and their burger are great too. Nice beer selection if you're into that. (I'm not a beer guy.) I wish they would bring back the chorizo burger they had for a very short time though. Only complaint I have is seating. It's always packed, so seating would be tight anyhow. But, I would personally rather wait a little longer for a table, so that I wasn't siting so close to other tables. (They may as well be eating with you.)

  • Kacy G.

    As a bar, I love this place. As a restaurant, not as much. Great craft beer, and you can get flights which I always enjoy. Cheese curds & apps have all been awesome. When we adventured further down the menu and tried dinner here, I was pretty disappointed. I had the pressed turkey sandwich which sounded great in theory, but it did not come together well. It came with a side of coleslaw which I found pretty bland. My husband got a burger which was good. I would say go for the beer and your typical bar food, but they haven't quite mastered their menu options past that though the potential is there.

  • Tom W.

    Great bar with a fairly simple dive type feel. Wonderful selection of local and craft beer including Alpha King on tap. (Oh so good.) Also a wonderful restaurant! This isn't pub food. Broad offering on the menu for all tastes and all dietary preferences. I settled on the Portabella Reuben and it was scrumptious. The rye was perfectly toasted, the thousand island like dressing was light and lightly applied, and the mushroom perfectly cooked. Next trip I'm trying the Cajun burger that the man next to me was eating. After every bite he moaned and commented on how delicious it was. I thought we were getting to a scene similar to the classic Meg Ryan in "When Harry met Sally". Apparently a must have....

  • Chan M.

    Awesome draft beer selection! We came on a Saturday evening around 7:30pm and waited about an hour before being seated. Luckily there's standing room in the bar along with a great selection of craft beers on tap. When seated we were pretty close to others but the atmosphere is relaxed and loud like a bar. Ordered the cheese curd appetizer, a burger and a Cuban sandwich. Both with fries. Perfectly crunchy fries. Amazing cheese curds! The prices are fair and the service is excellent. We will be back soon !!

  • Annie V.

    Im going to start this off by stating that I am not a craft beer drinker. If you are into craft beer you will love this place. Their cheese curbs are almost perfect and their burgers are unique. Unfortunately I think the quality of the burgers is better next door at Fat Dan's Deli. Biggest downside for me was the size. I don't like sitting so close to someone that I have to see/hear them chew their food. Selection of beer is good. So like I said if you are into craft beer then this is the place for you. Looking for a great burger? Check out next door. Items I've tired: Beer-battered cheese curds, Edamame, Simple Salad, Wake up burger, French Breakfast with sub of turkey burger, special burger which included peanut brittle (pleasantly surprised by how well it worked). Things to try: outside seating with a great view of College!

  • Shawn D.

    How have I not reviewed this place? Definitely a top 5 place of mine in indianapolis. I think they have around 40 rotating taps. This IS the place to go for the beer lover. That being said, their food is fantastic- so save room. Favorites include the cuban, burgers, edamame, and lets not forget the 'must have' cheese curds - with a variety of aoli dipping sauces. I enjoy the siracha! While the service here is top notch, Nikki the bartender is superb- there is often a wait and often crowded. I just wish it were a bit larger or the bar area had more seating. If you haven't been - dont waste another second- get there. And thank me later.

  • Naomi S.

    This place is consistently delicious... but you will wait if you want to eat around dinner time. Worth it most of the time, but I can't say I've never been too hungry to wait... they don't take reservations. The good news is that while waiting, you can hang out in the bar and get your drink on. Tuesday night is pint night, which means every one is $5. Awesome. Four stars instead of five mainly because of the waaaaaiiiiiiting. They really should be bigger.

  • Sarah C.

    Great draft beer list! I highly recommend the cheese curds...they are addictive little balls of awesomeness. Great patio right on College, perfect for people watching. The only downside to this place is it can get really busy, as in standing room only.

    Shhh... But this place is superior to the massive craft beer bar to the north. More than enough beer to choose from, great food, better prices and a chill neighborhood vibe.

    (5)

  • Michael C.

    Now this is a good place. They've got a good and ever changing selection of beers and dishes, and while I'd agree that the cheese curds are a staple worth trying, I appreciate the constant change because this is a place that knows how to put together good tasting meals. So what that means is you can be brave, try something new, and feel pretty confident you're not going to be mad for doing it.

    (5)

  • Shoshana K.

    This place is great! I love how the food menu has so many vegan and vegetarian options! There are lots of articles framed on the walls of this joint celebrating the guy in the kitchen who made the menu here full of options that are meatless (and sometimes cheeseless/eggless too). Some of the tap beers were out when we showed up to watch the world cup game....that was a bummer. good thing they have a ton to choose from so we were not thirsty.... everyone was right about the cheese curds - they are great. we had siracha and chimichuri dipping sauces. yum. the tofu bahn mi was good. the mushroom open faced was amazing!! i was a little surprised when i got my bill - i guess it was more than i was expecting to spend. however, the quality of food and beer selection here mostly warrented the somewhat steep prices....

  • Melyssa H.

    Twenty Tap got it right. I love this place and it doesn't hurt that it is a ten minute bike ride and has free wi-fi. I did some writing there last summer. The craft beer menu is huge. I go for the IPAs. Don't worry if you know nothing about beers, because every guy in the place can tour guide you. Part of the fun is talking beer. The turkey burger is sublime. It's on a goat cheese smeared English muffin with arugula and a tomato chutney. I get that every time. Their fries are among the very best in the city. They have lots of other sandwiches I've never tried because that turkey burger just gets it for me.

  • Derek C.

    It's a good option and is almost a top notch experience. The beer selection is excellent and the prices are fair. While simple, the beer menu does one thing that you would expect to be standard yet isn't -- they list the style of beer. I hate wondering whether the Flying Trapeze Magic Unicorn is an ale, an IPA, a stout... or any clue as to what it is. Here, if you like pilseners, you can just pick one out from the list. While this would appear to be a local brewery bar, the food is excellent. There are a couple of burgers with "fried egg" that is actually an over-easy egg. Had I known that, I would have changed from my still-excellent Spicy Cuban. So what holds back the 5th star? The interior decor looks like this is an unfinished project. The interior has that 1970s VFW feel to it where it is more a bunch of guys getting together rather than a modern food service establishment. The other thing is the customer service. Again, perhaps old-school dive bar is the motif but it's not with the times. Anyway, I would definitely return and encourage others to check it out.

  • Jessica P.

    The cheese curds. oh my goodness, the cheese curds. I cannot explain how much I crave those wondrous things and the fantastic aioli. The beer selection is also so wonderful. Honestly, every single thing I've had to eat and drink here has been just the best. You really can't go wrong with the menu. The secret's out though, so it's always always crowded. If you don't mind a bit of a wait and a bit of noise, you're in for a good time.

  • Kevin L.

    For some time I would stop by 20 Tap weekly. I love this bar! The beer is great and the food is great. They don't come off as trying to hard as a lot of craft beer focused restaurants do. It is just good food and good beer all around.

    (5)

  • Abby N.

    Love this place. Great selection of local beers. The cheese curds are a must, I also highly recommend the buffalo cauliflower. Just expect to get a drink and wait a bit for a seat, as it is limited.

  • Steve L.

    Stopped-in to grab a beer at the recommendation of some folks from the area. The bar was busy, as New Belgium Brewery was "taking over" the taps later in the evening. Service was prompt; we browsed the beer menu and made two selections, both of which were out. Drat! We went with plan B choices, which proved to be tasty. Food looked tasty; had we stayed longer, I wouldn't have minded trying some of the things on the menu. Prices were more than reasonable.

    (3)

  • Krista A.

    This is my favorite place in Indy. Favorite. Hands down. I have had every single burger they make, and have yet to be let down. They absolutely have the best fries in existence, and they pair them with delicious homemade aoili's (try the chipotle one!!) That plus a fantastic, rotating selection of craft beers? I'm in heaven. The only downfall is that the place has gotten so popular yet is so tiny that it is nearly always packed. If you don't want a crowded and loud atmosphere, this may not be the spot for you.

    (5)

  • Tara J.

    Twenty Tap obviously has an excellent selection of craft beer, which is what drew us here in the first place. We have been a couple times now and have not been disappointed. The beer prices are very reasonable and the service was great on both our visits. The only reason I am giving four instead of five stars is because I don't think the food is quite up to the price point. The pimento mac and cheese with bacon is pretty awesome, and the Cuban sandwich my husband got was good, but the other things we've ordered have just been ok.

    (4)

  • Sonya A.

    Wow definitely a new favorite. I was impressed with their beer selection, though not the largest selection, it is varied and good quality. To accompany our beers we had dinner. I had the spicy cuban and cole slaw and he had the brisket sandwich and fries. Wow... delicious! I can't wait to go back their menu looks fantastic it was so hard to choose! Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Location: 5/5

  • Kristy K.

    A haiku for my favorite part of Twenty Tap: Tasty cheese curds here The best in town, so I say Treat yo'self today! Good lord are the cheese curds delicious -- fried bits of cheese with dipping sauce -- and it's a huge order! Every thing here is great: the food is sourced locally when possible and the burgers are dynamite (even sharable if you get the curds, too), a huge craft beer list (around 40 taps these days, I do believe. There is a bar with darts and there aren't that many tables, so I just go in expecting a wait. I'm sure to grab a pint while doing so. The service can be scarce at times, but I chalk that up to them always being so damn busy. As soon as my curds arrive, I forget all, and sink into cheesy, fried goodness.

    Friday night in Broadripple. Not something I've done in ....oh about a year. I always remember in the moment stepping through a door into a cramped entry area that I am in my 30s, post-college, post kids. WOOOO. It's always quite a flashback and although I do love to "party like I'm 25" the next day always reminds me ....no, no in fact I do not. All that being said, I really have been wanting to check this place out. My hubby is quite the beer connoisseur and they boast a huge list of craft beer. The reviews are awesome and the fact is....I'm not that old and I love new things. This was a great date night location with another outgoing, fun couple who doesn't mind the Broadripple vibe. We put our names in and had about an hour wait. While we enjoyed some drinks at the bar, I noted that the overall crowd was above age average in the Rip, so it wasn't all the 21 year olds getting wasted before they went out. It was clearly a working age crowd or graduate school group looking for a good drink/meal to relax. And that is what we got. We started with the pretzals and beer battered cheese curds. Um....yum. Love me some deep fried cheese with the dips they offered. I was in hillbilly heaven with those suckers...and could have drowned myself in the housemade aioli. For the main course, there is an array of sandwiches and burgers to choose from and many looked appealing. My hubby went for Wake Up which boasted a fried egg and English muffin. YUMMO. I scored a hit with the ouse smoked, pulled brisket- Fischer Farm's Brisket, Jalapeno Marmalade, BBQ Sauce, Cheddar, Lettuce on Onion Bun. Let's just say NOT a mistake. I loved the marmalade, which although SOUNDS spicey was a great compliment giving it a nice sweet kick! The fries were also a fabulous side item. I mean, who doesn't love french fries. VERY happy with those...that I ate off my friend's plate, b/c I went a little boring with a side salad. Equally good but not such a great compliment since it's salad....ha! I mean, if you are young, energetic, looking for good food/drinks for a decent price (seriously our bill was under $30), you should check this out. If you don't want to wait, you need to get there with the early birds....they don't take reservations. Great for a fun date place....if you don't mind having to talk above average voice levels or a girls/boys night out. Great "starter" place to get drinks and good food before birraging yourself with the rest of the Broadripple bar scene. Loved it.

    The multiple beers are often very yummy, And good sandwiches for your tummy, But cheese curds are way too greasy, Though taking kids surprisingly easy, Service is generally well above par, Overall a great little neighborhood bar.

    I recently visited the new Hop Cat restaurant in Broad Ripple. It was good, lots of different beers, and good food - rather pricey though. Why am I discussing Hop Cat in a Twenty Tap review? Because Hop Cat is the new, hot, trendy, place to go in Broad Ripple. Can it hold a candle to Twenty Tap? No!!!!! Twenty Tap is truly an outstanding establishment. Their sandwiches, especially the Cuban, are awesome. Their fries and cheese curds, with all of those wonderful dipping sauces, are TRULY addictive. And their beer selection is phenomenal. Today I had four different Oktoberfests (in a sampler flight) and a pint of Twenty Taps own Punkin' Chukin' Ale, which was wonderful. If you're undecided as to where to go for great beer and food, choose local. Choose Twenty Tap.

    Amazing vegetarian food. The pimento mac n cheese is to die for. Great beer selection. It's always crowded due to the space, but it is one of my favorite spots in the whole city!

  • Abbey B.

    The Fries! My word, the fries. First off, the only time I've been here when it wasn't packed was on a Tuesday at 2:30. Don't be detoured by all the business, it's packed because it's awesome! The tap list is always great and reasonably priced. The food is spot on. There's a great mix of sandwiches, including a few vegetarian options. The fries are the perfect amount of crispy, fluffy, and just enough salt. I can't wait for my next opportunity to nab a table here.

    (5)

  • Penny L.

    This is one of my main haunts. The rotating tap selection is always fresh & showcases so much local beer. The two appetizers that's you just must try are the fried cheese curd and the fried pork belly. Their burgers are all delicious and the muffuletta and cuban sandwiches are also top-notch. The two best aiolis are chimichurri & rosemary!

    (5)

  • Sara P.

    I have repeatedly enjoyed the vegan Bahn Mi and BBQ tempeh sandwiches; extra points for the delicious fries with a side of vegan aioli. When I'm feeling non-veganish, I love the French Breakfast burger (brie! bacon jam!), medium rare, fancy-pants turkey burger, or the mushroom Reuben. Soups/salad selections are typically creative; I especially like the beet appetizer, panzanella salad, and curry sweet potato soup. When I don't go my normal stout or porter route, Twenty Tap has a fantastic range of seasonal beers to play around with...most recently, the Founders raspberry (or gingerbread ales during the winter). Although it can get pretty loud inside and the wait can be long during prime hours, the dining & drinking experience makes up for it and it is a fairly short walk from my home. My favorite local place since relocating to SoBro.

  • Jonna C.

    I am rarely disappointed with the beer selection. Even being a bit picky, I always find that there's something to my liking on tap. And their Mac and Cheese is excellent!! The burgers I have had are great. And I've never had anything bad. However, the dining room is too small and there's always a wait. And I am often disappointed that there's not more variety on the menu.

  • Ian C.

    The beer menu here makes me do a mental fist-pump. Yeah! You generally have seasonal brews as well as a rotating cast of IPAs, lagers, porters, red ales, and etc. They source almost everything from either Indiana breweries or somewhere else in the Midwest. I have yet to go wrong with a beer here. Generally the rest of the food is super tasty! They do interesting things with their burger toppings, and their fries are really dang good. I can't say the food is the primary reason I come to Twenty Tap, but I've never been disappointed by it. It's generally pretty packed in here, so don't be surprised at a wait.

    I absolutely love Twenty Tap. The beer selection is second to none and the waitstaff has the knowledge to help you pick a perfect beer. I have never even seen the same beer on the menu twice, and I love it. Most of the selections are regional and I love supporting the local breweries. But wait, there's more! The appitizers, bar food, and sandwiches available are to die for. The beer-battered cheese curds with your choice of aioli for dippin' are some of the best I have ever had. I can't say enough about this place. It's one of my favorites in the city.

    The cheese curds are to die for! I get them every time I go! And they have several different house sauces to go with them! They always have an awesome beer selection. Really, you just can't go wrong here.

    Kind of cool. Low-key place. It has a few TV's if you want to watch a game. Diverse selection of beers available; the prices aren't great, but they're decent for the beers that the offer. I don't normally like cheese curds, but Twenty Tap's cheese curds were good. They have some of the friendliest servers of any bar in Indy. The service was really good.

    okay so maybe I have a thing for melted cheese. But not just any melted cheese, like I would never order mozzarella sicks. But the cheese curds alone earn this place 5 stars. After attending college in Wisconsin I know cheese curds and had missed them greatly until someone told me go here. I hope they stay on the menu forever! I wish the aoli's were a little thinner, less mayo. The hamburgers and sandwiches have been decent and the beer list will leave everyone satisfied. It gets a little crowded, but grab a beer and wait for a piece of cheesy heaven! So the service here is getting a lil sloppy. Like forgetting to tell us up front about being out if things like Cheese curds. Specially when the waiter knows because you said you came in for beer and apps. Or charging us for a beer that got tapped out.I know thats why we review the bill, but it wasn't busy when these type of events have happened. I do really enjoy coming here. So the last few times the service has been a real bummer, we are learning a lot of places in Indy in general seem to have some lackadaisical staff so I can't blame the place but it would be 5 stars in my eyes if servers would pay a bit more attention or be more friendly.

    Went in early on a friday night, and got a table for 2. first off get the cheese curds! they were to die for, and the aioli dips that come with them are great. The burgers were great, I had the french breakfast, and boy was it good. cooked well, fresh meat. will definitely be back soon.

  • Leslie L.

    Cool place but nothing to write home about. Good selection of beer but I wasn't thrilled by the food choices (mostly sandwiches). The pretzels with cheese sauce were great but you have to pay an extra $1.50 for the sauce on top of the pretzel price. I would visit again but mostly for the beer selection, not the food. Wait staff was great!

    I literally come here weekly and when I was single sometimes daily. The bartenders always know your name, they're friendly but not coddling. The menu changes every season or so and there is always something do get addicted to. The cheese curds are astounding but come with 4 people as it's a lot to handle. Always sit on the bar side, the booths or outside, the small tables are stifling. They always have rare beer in and they now brew their own in the basement. Tell Drew and Sarah I said hey.

  • Andrew J.

    This place has the best beer list in Indianapolis. The selection changes all the time, and they do a great job representing local breweries as well as some unique regional options. They have some of the best beer release parties in town. On top of a great beer menu, their food menu is fantastic. I love their friend cheese curds. They have some unique dipping sauces and this is about as perfect as it gets while drinking beer. Their burgers are very well prepared and have some very cool topping options. Their Cuban sandwich is great. Their specials are always tasty when they are on the menu. Service is normally pretty quick, but as long as you're buying beer they never seem to push you out. If you come in on the weekend at normal dinner hours expect to have a bit of a wait. The restaurant is small and always packed. If you are a beer fan and you like to eat you have to check this place out

    Stopped after work for drinks and dinner. Server was nice but forgot our table a few times. Restaurant was out of quite a few specials and it was only 4:30. Ended up with a great cuban sandwich and stout that could have bumped this to a four star. However, my friend's potato salad was 'bad... tastes spoiled' and they were out of pickles which was the reason for our trip. In Indy there are so many brew pubs popping up it is hard to keep up with the decor, selection, etc. The ambiance here was ok. I have several around town I would recommend over this one but if in the area not a bad selection. I wouldn't make a special drive to stop here. We will give the food another shot if in the area.

    So delicious!! I love this French Breakfast Burger & the fries with many condiment options, which I am a huge fan of. I also like that there's a wide selection of beers on tap. Also the cheese curds are to die for!! My only qualm with Twenty Tap is that it is so busy & the wait can be over an hour some nights. They need more seating!

    Disclaimer: I'll need to go back to give this place a more accurate review, but the poor service I experienced here will make it difficult to give this place another chance. I came here with a group of 3 on a Monday evening for dinner. It was pretty busy, and surprisingly full of young children. This does not seem like a place I'd bring a young child, but there were tons of toddlers and babies here. Our server, Matt, must have been slammed because it took a long time for him to take our drink orders, even longer to receive those drinks and a crazy amount of time for our food to arrive. Toward the end of our meal he become more attentive and we finally got some refills. I had heard good things about the mac and cheese and their burgers, so I was happy to try both. None of the burgers looked to great, so I asked for a standard bacon cheeseburger- not on the menu but pretty standard. I also requested no side to be served with my burger because they had only a few options: fries, cole slaw or a salad. When the meal arrived, I had to ask Matt for an ingredient I had requested for my burger as it did not arrive the way I ordered it. The burger was okay, nothing to write home about. Don't let the name "Pimento Mac&Cheese" turn you off because it was really yummy! When the bill came, Matt had put some of our dining partner's items on our bill and vice versa. I also came to find that I was nickled and dimed for my burger. I understand being charged for bacon, but $1.50? No way. AND, I have NEVER been charged to add mayo to a burger, so you can imagine my surprise to see a $.50 charge for a cup of mayo (especially when I had to remind him to bring it out to me because it didn't arrive with my meal as requested). So now my standard burger was jacked up $2.00! Tell me in advance if you're going to charge extra for condiments. When we brought this to Matt's attention (both the fact that it would have been nice to be told in advance if charges would be added for specializing an order and disappointment in charging for things like mayo), he basically shrugged it off saying that they don't offer custom burgers. It was pretty hard to tip him since he was not very attentive, messed up our bills and did not offer a reasonable explanation for charging $.50 for a little cup of mayo. All in all: I felt nickeled and dimed here, and I didn't feel like my feedback was valued when expressed to Matt. I'm not sure if I'll be back, but I hope if I do come here again I'll find that the poor service was a fluke.

    Visited Twenty Tap while visiting Indy with family. Wanted a bar in the Butler University area. Had drinks and the fries, which were recommended by the waiter. They were absolutely the best fries I've ever tasted!!!! The bar filled up as we were there, so it must have high ratings from its customers, too. Superb!!!!

    Twenty tap has more than twenty taps how bout that! Food is eclectic for a brew house and it is worth the trip. pretzel and beer cheese is a good choice for a late afternoon nosh with a couple of craft brews. See for yourself!

    Listen, guys. ...Guys. Listen. Seriously. Twenty Tap is the best bar/restaurant in Broad Ripple. THERE. I said it. I have to say, first, that I am a red meat kind of gentleman. That said, the turkey burger is the best thing I have ever eaten. Just to be clear, that is to say that of all the things I have eaten -ever in my life- Twenty Tap's turkey burger is my favorite. Get it. Just do it. Reviewing other entrees is a challenge for me as I am rarely ever capable of forcing myself to eat anything else. Aside from the great food, their beer selection is fantastic, if a tad pricey. They always have plenty of local brews and Tuesday's drink special is pretty great. Everything about the establishment itself is so badass that one of the most important aspects of the business, the help, is easy to take for granted. Twenty Tap's staff is consistently knowledgeable, quick, and pleasant, despite crowds. In summation, go to Twenty Tap, dammit.

    Pretty good experience! Originally seated at a bad table by wait staff! I could tickle the ear ( furthest from me) of the people to the right and left of me! tooooo close for comfort! We re-sat ourselves and from then it was a good experience! The wait staff suggested the turkey burger and it was delicious! The blackened fish sandwich was a great selection as well! My boyfriend ordered that, and I practically ate it all! LOL! Their house fries were awesome!

  • Eric B.

    When I describe 20 tap to first timers, I always say the same thing: The just do everything right. First of all, the tap list is huge. And yes, they have the beer you want. Trust me. They do. And whatever you get, MAKE SURE YOU GET FRIES WITH IT. These fries are that good. And, as SoBro generally has it, they have a wide variety of meat-free menu items. The Vegan Bahn Mi is always tasty, with a perfect amount of spice. Goes incredibly well with an IPA (I got love for a Rail Splitter by Triton Brewing). The corn-chowder is great in the fall with a stout, and the BBQ tempeh is good on all occasions. The outdoor seating is PERFECT when the weather is on your side. However, the bar service can be very poor on their busier nights. Maybe my 5'4 stature made me hard to see. But, I sat at the bar one night for 45 minutes, trying my hardest to get service. I eventually gave up and went next door. If I walk by and its busy, I generally take a pass. Its probably worth the wait, but sometimes a wait turns into never.

  • Corrine P.

    This place is a local favorite. Their food is delicious and their beers on tap are awesome. Most are local! The only issue is that it is so popular there is usually a wait for a seat. Even the bar area there it is difficult to find a seat. A few times I have visited and not had the best service. Other than that, this place rocks!

  • Sarah S.

    I will never order fries from anywhere else! The beauty of the green flecks of parsley and the airy crispness of their batter have me pretending that they are somehow better for me than other fries...do not forego them for the side salad...just get them with the side salad, which is also amazingly delish in all it's simple glory! I dream about the cheese curds daily! The rotating beer selection highlights the awesomeness of America's Craft Beer Movement! The quality local ingredients make me feel good about eating here just knowing I am supporting local farms. I have tried almost all the burgers on the menu and the ones I haven't, my husband has. The French Breakfast burger is awesome, BUT I LOVE the Wake up burger! I approach my Twenty Tap table knowing I will be a mess of delicious burger juice, runny egg yolk, bacon drippings, and sauce and it will not be pretty. SO WORTH IT! Everyone should do themselves a favor and the next time you crave a quick burger, pass up cheap places with drive throughs. Think, for a little bit more money you can have a burger made with high quality beef from a farm nearby, fresh fries (with parsley) and a beer! My waistline is thankful I don't live in walking distance of this place! It is crowded often, even times I wouldn't expect (Wednesday night at 7:45) , but that is only because people know a good thing when they eat and drink it!!!! (homemade pickles, pimento mac & cheese with bacon, beer, beer, and MORE CRAFT BEER!) OH and the vegetarian options are also yummy!!! Vegan ban mi sandwich and the black bean burger!!!!! Mmmmmmmm

    Really tasty burgers and fries, and a nice beer menu. Docked a single star (the burgers and fries really are that good) for almost always being extraordinarily difficult to get in to (the crowds really are that big) and for sometimes indifferent service.

  • Emel S.

    I'd been here once before for dinner and it was decent but I wasn't going to call it a favorite. Then some friends suggested we got there for dinner again and I decided to consult Yelp to help me decide what to get. I saw all the rave reviews for the Vegan Bahn Mi and decided to give it a shot. I'm not a vegan...or even a vegetarian for that matter but I do enjoy vegetarian entrees. THIS SANDWICH IS AMAZING!! First of all, the tofu is nicely marinated so it's fully of flavor. I also think they must use soft tofu because the consistency was different from any I'd had before and I normally use firm. The vegetables on the sandwich added great texture and flavor as well and the bread, OH the BREAD!! It was soft and delicious. Most of my friends (who are meat-eaters) didn't seem jealous of my sandwich but one of them tried it and agreed that it really was delicious. No one else asked to try it but they were all pleased with their own meals so that might be why. I can't remember what everyone else got but I remember that two people sitting next to me go the Cuban and seemed to really like it. So, vegetarian or carnivore, I'd recommend you try the Vegan Bahn Mi. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised either way. Of course, Twenty Tap is also known for their local brews which I'm a fan of. They have the Tripel de Ripple on the menu as well as another one (Dark Horse maybe?). I should probably take off a star since the server messed up all our bills but the sandwich really got this place 6 stars, so really, they're still at a 5 star rating.

    Twenty Tap Tuesday is something that should be screamed from the top of your lungs every time you wake up on a Tuesday morning. On Tuesday nights, all pints of local draft beer are only $3.50 (which includes the tax). I was completely and utterly astonished by this. I went with a few friends and I didn't quite believe them when they talked up this bar so much. They have everything from Flat 12, to Brugge, to Sun King, to Fountain Square, to Peoples, and everything in between. The menu is huge and you will want to stay here all night to just drink as many delicious beers as you can. I enjoyed a Fountain Square chocolate stout, a Peoples imperial IPA, and a Tank 7. I could have spent all day here. The atmosphere is wonderful. It reminds me of a smaller Chumley's, a little more intimate, and way less sporty. Punks, men and women in business casual, and just regular Joes like me came to enjoy pints of delicious local beer and join in comradery with one another. The staff is amazing and friendly, and don't even get me started on the food. It's all amazing. They have vegan dishes, meaty dishes, and dishes that you wouldn't imagine being available at a bar. Brats, burgers, fries, and vegetarian sandwiches floated around our tables as sounds of food pleasure filled the air. Twenty Tap closes around 11pm throughout the week, which I think is a unique and perfect time for the crowd that comes here--men and women looking for great drinks and food with friends after a long day at work.

    I ate at Twenty Tap last night and was hugely impressed. They have just about the best selection of craft beers on tap in Indianapolis, and the food - upscale pub fare - is outstanding. I had the the cheese curds and one of their burgers and both were phenomenal. If you're at all into upscale-casual dining, you'd do well to visit Twenty Tap.

    SO SO YUMMY. I live in the area and this will definately be one of my new favorite spots. The food was absolutely deliscious. The blackened fish sandwich was killer, the seasoned fries were amazing, and I couldnt stop eating the slaw. Great exprience at a decent price. 5 Stars it is!

  • Jeremy O.

    I love this place!!!!!! Now i normally will be found there for lunch on Tuesdays which is $3.50 pint days. Great beer on tap, in fact its 36 taps. The beer list changes day to day, depending on how quickly they can get thru it, so help out people! The food is great, in fact good enough to slap your momma good. I would have to say any burger, that you order will more than keep you tummy not screaming for food for a while. The side i always get is the fries that coming with a very tasty herb dressing. Also you need to try out the curry mushrooms. The bar staff, Tracy, Jenny, Trish are i believe what makes this place. The decor on the bar side has a great long bar and a TV at the end of it and Tons of beer cans on the walls.

    We had heard so many awesome things about this place that we were beyond excited to try it. It was a predicted 35, really 45 minute wait for a table - which should have been our cue to leave - but we were there and parked and whatever. I could hear the conversations taking place at every table around us as clear as a bell. I could hear other conversations better than I could hear Husband. Totally agree with the acoustic criticisms. I really do not go into restaurants looking for things to criticize. I would rather chill and have a nice time. However, the waitress stopped at 2 tables seated after us to take their orders - put their orders in - then came back to take our drink order. She did not stick around long enough for me to get the appetizer order out of my very fast mouth and did not come back for a while as we just wanted water because Husband had already spent 45 minutes drinking beer. So I watched other tables (who apparently knew how to work the system) receive apps before the waitress even came back to take our app order. Annoyance level was pretty high by this point. App was the cheese curds. Husband loved. I thought they were okay. Husband wanted more beer. Waitress nowhere to be found. We both ordered burgers. His was blah and mine was inedible. I am not picky when it comes to food. Even if I do not love it, I'm paying for it and will shove it down the piehole. Especially under the circumstances of being STARVING. I could not even pretend to stomach the burger. I ordered it medium rare and it was beyond well done. Of course, waitress was nowhere to be found, so I tried to suck it up and eat it - but even Husband agreed that it was awful. He would eat dog kibble if it was presented to him in a bowl with a spoon and milk, so that is saying something. Getting the check was a production and my nice, sweet, the server is always right husband suggested leaving less than a 10% tip. Again, really saying something. Never, ever again. WAY too many other places to try/eat in that area to ever come back. Probably one of the worst two food experiences ever in the Indy area and we eat out 5-7 times a week.

    I'm not a beer drinker so I can only say that they have over 40 varieties, many local. I did sample several things on the food menu and it was great. Fried cheese curds = awesome Macaroni & Cheese was very creamy, not the usual stuff you would expect but better. French fries were to die for! I also tried the Cheese and Veggie plate, I wouldn't repeat it. It was alright but I was expecting more veggies (not cucumbers and cauliflower) and less cheese. It came with a fig paste and hummus, which if you like that sort of thing then it would be great but not for my liking. Atmosphere was relaxed and it was a great place to meet up with friends. Parking in the neighborhoods along the street was easy to find. It is Broad Ripple area so if you like to check out the Hipsters and weirdos then you might be in luck. I'd go back if meeting with friends.

  • Marc N.

    The concept is completely wrong for this place. This is a beer place but it is way too restauranty and kid-friendly right now! To sum up my experiences here I will say I agree with the 2-star reviews for this place. I got food poisoning the last time I was there (3-2-2013) and was barely satisfied the 3 times prior. My conversation topics were limited due to proximity of the 2 to 10 year olds present in this place. Their saving grace are the appetizers and beer! So here's my idea. Throw out the menu completely and limit it to just appetizers/small plates (aka the good stuff!). I'd make sure the beers are in stock, rotated, fresh, and plentiful. I don't think it would hurt to have a bigger selection or variety of wine for the non-beer drinkers. I would also modernize the decor (just looks way too thrift-shop and old/dusty inside), get rid of the booths and have mostly bar tables and stools. It's hard to move and breath in that place. I feel locked into my booth, which I hate, (especially when I have to pee!) No kids allowed. Again, no kids allowed. And finally, I'd move this place directly across the street to where the huge parking garage is under construction on Broad Ripple Ave. Parking problem solved, and it would bring in business from all over the city with it's increase in accessibility! Currently, this place is way too small to maximize it's potential. Someone with the time and funds should look at The Tap in Bloomington and basically bring that to BR Ave. (specifically, where Scholars Inn Bakehouse or Peppers used to be). It'll attract Butler students, young professionals, and even the middle-aged/older fun crowd. If this place chooses to exist as it is currently, then they must step up the game on service, cleanliness, and food quality/taste in order for my return, otherwise I think this is a pointless place to meet for a drink during peak and non-peak drinking hours.

    Wow. The best burger I've had in town. I was blown away, seriously. We had the Bonfire and I can't say enough about how delicious it was.

I highly recommend this place.

    Had been told this place was great... had been told that the restaurant side was kid friendly (my thought = really?? it IS a bar!?!) but... Had a short wait... then we were squeezed into a small table (no big deal, I was hungry, no need for 3 of us to have a huge booth). But it was SO loud!! I had a hard time hearing my husband across the table... and then there was the OVERly loud table in the corner... WOW! Which made me worried that all this loud noise may be overwhelming for our child and may cause a fussy/ crying fit... yup, before we were done! So we jumped out of there asap! As for the grub and brews! FANTASTIC! Turkey Burger- (Fischer Farm's Ground Turkey Patty, Tomato Jam, Arugula, Whipped Goat Cheese, Caramelized Onion on English Muffin $9) LOVED this burger!!!!! What a GREAT combination (my mouth is watering thinking about it!!) the tomato jam with the arugula and whipped goat cheese... oh I LOVED!!! GREAT mix!! I initially thought the $9 was a bit high, especially since the side options were only salad, slaw or fries... but the salad was good size and the burger was FANTASTIC! Company had Sal- (Pastrami, Cream Cheese, Pickles, Onion, Mustard $9) and thought it was also Very tasty! He is also a slaw critic and thought it was pretty good!! Loved the beer list (tied a couple hadn't had before) and love that so many are from local brewers!! BIG DIBS here!! Will be back, but sans child! and maybe at an off hour when it may be less busy... less loud!?!?

    I'd heard that Twenty Tap had great beef burgers and the rumors are true - that is a tasty burger. Plus they have lots of tasty beverages on tap. The French fries are also good. With them you get choice of two aiolis (dipping sauce - basically mayo and with stuff added in). The horseradish and chipotle were nice departures from ketchup. Great vibe.

  • Jason R.

    I'll start by saying this is, in my opinion, one of the better bars in the entire Indianapolis area. The atmosphere at Twenty Tap gives you a real local pub feel, comfortable and casual, while maintaining the fresh feel of a trendy hot spot. The alcohol selection at Twenty Tap is great. At the time of my last visit there were 38 beers on tap. The beers are listed on a huge board above the bar and change from time to time. The selection of Indiana and regional beers here are extensive. This is the place you want to go if you'd like to taste what the area breweries have to offer. They also offer a few other beers from around the country, so there's something here for all beer lovers. The food here is also top notch. I would argue that Twenty Tap has the best fries in Indianapolis, not to mention one of the best burgers as well. The fried house pickles are a very good appetizer, and come highly recommended. The meal portions are totally adequate for the price, so you're guaranteed a good meal at a fair price. All in all there really isn't much to complain about here. Friendly service, great atmosphere, with quality food and alcohol. I'd recommend this place to anyone wanting a good beer or a great meal. Definitely check this place out.

    Twenty Tap is an excellent neighborhood bar serving great food with an array of fine beer on tap. The food is not typical bar food, the menu boasts some very well thought entrees. The fries are a crowd favorite for a reason. The blackened fish sandwich is phenomenal. Non-existent parking is the restaurant's only downfall. Luckily I can walk from my house!

  • DeAnna P.

    I was so impressed with this place. I don't give a lot of 5-star reviews, but there really wasn't anything they could have done to make the visit better. The beer list is amazing, and they had a sour beer. That is so hard to find!! I also love that all of their beers are around $5, they just size them accordingly. That's so nice for me, since I'm not a huge drinker. I can try the fancy stuff, but only get $5 worth. I had the burger. Why WOULDN'T you get the burger?? It was cooked perfectly medium, came with the exact right amount of cheese, aioli, and an onion ring on top. The salad was ok, nothing special, but I was too full to eat it anyway, so no points lost there. We started the meal with fried cheese curds. I've been to Madison, Wisconsin, and these curds are just as good. The batter is kind of tempura-like and there is plenty of it. You get your choice of two house-made aiolis. Do yourself a favor and get the garlic and the chipotle. Then hoard any leftovers to try with your entree. I must try the fries with my burger next time. Other tables had them and we could overheard them raving about them. Hubby got the Cuban and let me try it. It was also heavenly, but nothing could match that burger! Our server and her trainee were attentive, fun, and gave great advice on the beer. GO HERE!!!

    Not only does Twenty Tap have lots of tasty beers, but they also have equally wonderful burgers. The black bean burger was delicious, even for someone whose eating habits tend to lean toward the carnivorous. They also had fried cheese curds. Really, really good ones. I haven't had cheese curds that delicious since a vacation to Wisconsin several years ago. The batter they fry them in is light and flaky, almost like a good fish batter. And the cheese gets heated throughout, which means when you bite into them you get the wonderful effect of having strings of cheese everywhere. Cheese and beer are among my favorite foodstuffs. I will be back for sure.

    Twenty Tap has an EXCELLENT beer selection that is little heavy on the IPAs. This is fine by me but not so great for the wife who prefers wheats, wits, and belgians. I was a little disappointed not seeing any Three Floyds on the draft list, but it sounds like they usually have something tapped and I just came at the wrong time. Their draft list focused on local breweries (Sun King, Triton, Flat 12, Upland) but had a handful of regional brews as well. The atmosphere here is very laid back and the decor is clean and simple. Service was solid, the waitress definitely knew her beer and could make appropriate recommendations based on our tastes and preferences. I didn't try the food but would recommend the trip for the beer selection alone. It is excellent to see a restaurant/bar focused solely on craft beer in Indy!!

    Visited here when I was in Indy seeing a friend. The local beer selection was great, the cheese curds were awesome, and the burger was one of the best I've had in a long time. We did have to wait awhile to get a table on a Saturday night, but we just watched some football at the bar while waiting.

    Presenting: Twenty Tap, the newest and coolest dining & drinking establishment of the So Bro neighborhood. Starring: 20 great selections of craft beer on tap. Co-starring: A wonderful appetizer, salad, sandwich & burger menu. Produced & directed by: Kevin Matalucci, longtime BRBP brewer. The Scoop: A dining area with a separate standing bar area. Neither area is huge so this place is going to get packed fast. Twenty selections of different craft beer on tap such as Founders Reds Rye, 3 Floyds Zombie Dust (which alas has bitten the dust), Stone Arrogant Bastard, Founders Cerise, some Sun King and Flat 12, etc. The menu is definitely award winning. The Smoked Mushroom Reuben on rye with swiss, pickles, sauerkraut, onion & Russian sauce is one masterpiece of a sandwich. The Morty Burger with mortadella, pickles, mustard, onion & smoked provolone is fabulous. AND, the House Fries are by far the best fries ever and are deserving of a standing ovation!! What this critic says: I am extremely excited about this place in every way. Location, atmosphere, beer selection, menu choices & reasonable prices and of course, the wonderful execution of the food served. And, I challenge anyone to say these aren't the best damn fries.

    Can't brag enough on this place. Amazing beer selection that is fresh and always rotating. Great burgers and appetizers. Love the staff. Had an issue once and the manager came out and dealt with it swiftly and effectively. I think this is the best place in Indy to grab a beer and hang out. Just wish they had more seating!

    Without a doubt one of my favorite bars in town. First, the beer selection. Plenty of Indiana beers, along with a big selection of regional breweries. There's always at least a few other taps from around the country too (Left Hand, Great Divide, etc). You can often expect the good stuff that beer lovers tend to get excited about... think Goose Island Bourbon County and Three Floyds Zombie Dust. If you're a beer lover in the Indianapolis area and you haven't gotten in yet, you're missing out. Oh yeah, pints are $3.50 on Tuesdays, which is pretty awesome, too. The food is always great. The black bean burger is definitely one of the best I've ever had. Make sure if you order fries or cheese curds (both highly recommended), get some aolis too. Soups are always good too... had the clam chowder last night and was not disappointed. It can get a bit crowded sometimes, so try to get there slightly early.

    SO-SO IN SOBRO Small cozy place with far more than 20 taps. Sizable beer selection, but don't bring a big thirst unless you bring a big wallet. The place is kind of pricey, especially for SoBro (not your highest rent district). Maybe we were there at shift change, but the staff outnumbered the customers... and they were more concerned with talking among themselves than mixing it up with or waiting on customers. We had heard the place WOW us. They did, but not necessarily in a good way. However, we've agreed to give them another try sometime. Everybody deserves a second chance, right?

    Great little place! Grace and Mike* were fantastic bartenders who made great suggestions, none of which I have any complaints about. They also sported great attitudes and the service was very, very quick. They are really on the ball, well informed and very informed about the local brew scene. I would suggest visiting just for these two, but there is much more to the place: amazing brews on tap at consistent, affordable prices annnnnnnnnnnnnd food. which I didnt eat, but hear it's good.

  • Carrie H.

    My husband and I went here while we were visiting from California. The beer list was great. The food is exceptional, the burgers and fries are awesome. The beer cheese is amazing, not as thick as I expected, but still really good. Emily, our waitress, was great. She was able to take our beer and food order by memory and everything was correct, this can be hard to come by in many places. We will most likely revisit this place next time we are back.

    This is my favorite brew pub in the city. They also have the best burgers in town. They use all grass-fed beef and the combo of toppings on the menu is great. My family and I go there very often. They are very family oriented. The place is a bit loud when it's full, but they put sound-absorbing panels on the tinned ceiling and that helped. The staff is always friendly and the food is great. The only bad thing I can say is that they only have 2 high chairs. I can't recommend this place highly enough!

  • Benjamin H.

    Great beer selection and very nice food menu as well.. Tuesday is $3.50 pints. They are only open until 11p (weekdays) and 12a (weekends) with no Sunday hours. The weekend crowd can be a bit insufferable, but as I state in a lot my reviews.. I recommend visiting on off-peak hours (ie Tuesday at 3p).

  • Nicolette M.

    If you like local brews, this place should be a place you add to your list as a place to visit. When it first opened, it had twenty beers, mostly from Indiana, on tap, and since then, it has added on more, meaning it has a beer for almost anyone who is a beer aficionado. The list changes as beers run out making it a fun adventure any time you visit. The food is also pretty good; it's focused on burgers and sandwiches, which they do a good job at preparing. There are some good salads if you prefer something a bit healthier and plenty of vegetarian options as well. The place is frequently crowded on the evenings so be prepared to wait by the bar if you think you want a table, but it's well worth the wait.

    We went to twenty tap at 7 pm on a Saturday night as a party of 4. The wait was very long (90 minutes) but we decided to wait it out at a neighboring bar. Once we were able to sit, it was well worth the wait. We started with great craft beers (they have an awesome selection) and the cheese curds. The curds were deep fried balls of delicious and the sriracha aioli was a great spicy pairing. Next up we all ordered burgers and fries. The fries were amazing! They were crunchy and cheesy must haves. As for the burgers they were all unique and very juicy. I had the french breakfast burger and I highly recommend. Though the wait was long, the food was worth it. I will come back again!

  • Beverly C.

    I came with a small group to Twenty Tap and just sat at the bar. I'm not a true beer drinker. I was really impressed with the bar staff that let me try a few samples and found me a beer that I actually enjoyed. We didn't plan to get food, but I ended up getting the chicken sandwich with a side house salad. Both were amazing! Nothing about the food here will make you think "bar food." Can't wait to bring more friends here.

    The beer selection was really good. Heavy Seas Red Sky at Night is a new favorite. Got a couple of sandwiches that were only ok through.

  • Tony A.

    The amazing Wake Up burger and the appetizers are not to be missed. Their selection of beers rotate among mostly-local breweries and the staff can always answer questions if you're unsure of what to chose. Ordering a flight is a great way to try a few beers to determine what you might enjoy most. The atmosphere can get a bit loud (especially when people bring their kids...and they always seem to bring their kids for some reason. Why, people? Why? There are no clowns around, so why must you torture me so???) but the food is good enough to put up with it. I'll be honest though, you may wanna pace your visit to times that might be a little less busy because when they're running at capacity, it can be a bit of a wait.

    Hands down best burgers in Indy, and would stand up to challenges anywhere. Fries crispy but light on inside - in the top 3 in Indy. Beer list is awesome and changes almost daily. No mass beer producers here. The beer list also provides the style and alcohol content, but not the IBU. Tasters are no problem though. Very small, limited seating, plan on waiting if you get there after 530 pm. Wait staff/bartenders know their beer. Muffuletta is one of better ones in Indy. This is a 5 star place except for the limited seating

    Please for the love of god put some sound dampening foam/panels/material ANYTHING in here. I came here with my Husband and a friend on a weeknight and I couldn't hear anything because the echoing in the place. I basically had to sit there in silence because there was no way for me to make or hear any conversation. The food was good and I'd really like to come back but I won't until I can have a conversation in the place.

  • Julie S.

    Lots of fantastic Midwestern beer on tap. If you don't know how much better the beer is in the Midwest compared to wherever you're from, sit down here for the afternoon and find out. The burgers were great. They'll cook it to medium rare, and the jalapeno burger is pretty spicy.

  • Jamison H.

    Twenty Tap is a much needed addition to this part of College. It is a non-smoking alternative to Moe and Johnny's, they have a wide selection of delicious craft beer and it has real dart boards. I finally had the food here and was quite impressed. There was a wide selection of veggie options; I had the mushroom Reuben and has satisfied. Try the cheese curds...they are scrumptious. This is a perfect spot for a quality pub that is far enough from the Village that you miss the rif-raff. They could use more bike parking. Everyone who works there that I have encountered has been super friendly.

  • Eddie C.

    Finally made it to Twenty Tap for first time. It is what the name says, twenty taps of Indiana craft beer. Excellent beer selection, including local seasonals like Sun King Oktoberfest. Also old standbys like Flat 12, Three Floyds, Upland, New Albanian, etc. As far as food is concerned, had a few pieces of cheese curds which is not something I wanna eat on a regular basis. They were good though without being overly greasy. One of the guys also ordered a steak salad which looked pretty good (even if I don't eat salads). The joint was fairly busy on a Monday night. Half of the room was the bar and the other half the dining area. There were enough seats available but also plenty of space to meander w/ people which I liked. Also the volume wasn't overly loud which was good if you actually wanna converse w/ people. There were two dart boards that were getting heavy usage throughout the night. Would I go back? Of course. There is no on-site parking I don't think so just find a spot on the street.

    Sometimes you just have a hankering for burgers, fries, and beer. And when that happens to me, I go to Twenty Tap. I've had the wrath burger a couple of times and it is super tasty. We usually get an order of fries to share and we love the chimichurri and garlic sauces. The horseradish one is pretty good too. Nice selection of beers, only thing is that sometimes they run out. Also, the space between tables is really narrow. I'm pretty tiny and I have to make my way out gingerly. Other than that, awesome place and I'll come back here again for sure.

    (4)

  • Jaimie C.

    I'm giving this 5 stars for two reasons: you can't beat this draught beer selection in Broad Ripple (at a restaurant) and the burgers are amazing. I've had several of the burgers and never been disappointed. You also can't go wrong with the cheese curds if you want to indulge a little. Be warned, this place does get crowded quickly and the wait can get quite long.

  • Rob S.

    Great beers and great food. Don't expect a seat on a Friday or Saturday because it will be packed. The pimento Mac and cheese is a must!

  • William C.

    OK so look, they've got a very nice menu, whose various hamburger incarnations sound a little better than they are (Before y'Accuse Me, take a look at Fat Dan's). They've got less seating than they could fill, especially at the bar (no points off; as a new joint, what are you supposed to do?). They've got two legitimate, real-sharp-tip dartboards very near an exit door (differing opinions, depending on whether I'm a a knife-wielding Brit or hand-wringing litigious American*). What I was hoping to and didn't quite say above is that Twenty Tap isn't perfect. There are some non-ideal features. Some unfulfilled potentials. I guess. A better way of saying it I want to emphasize that I am searching, for reasons of Yelp legitimacy, for any reason to sub-5-star this joint. But there's this problematic fact: Twenty Tap (the tap count is actually now thirty-ish) is an immaculate curator of regional beers. There is no better place in town to go if you seek to get in touch with the very best of the Midwest's brewing culture. And considering that according to ratebeer.com three of the top three brewers in the world*, and Jolly Pumpkin, reside in the Midwest, this is no miniscule fact. *IN THE WORLD. Google it, si vous devez.

    I love this place. As a vegan, I don't get to eat everywhere, but this place has some of the best vegan sandwiches around. They also, obviously, have a lot of awesome craft beers and ciders that you can't get other places. The environment is laid back and even if they are busy they can get you in pretty quickly. Dog friendly patio it seems too!

    20 Tap is one of my favorite bars in Indy, if not my favorite. This is partially because I live about 2 minutes away, but also because I've yet to experience such a wide selection of craft brews that changes DAILY (Not even my year and a half of living in Chicago led to such a find). A majority of the beers on tap are Indiana-brewed, and I've discovered a wide array of breweries/favorites as a result. Not only are the drinks here great, but the food is fantastic (and vegan/vegetarian friendly). My personal favorite is the Vegan Bahn Mi, while my boyfriend obsesses over the black bean burger. The aiolis are also very tasty. For those who don't like beer, they also offer a selection of wine.

    (5)

  • James M.

    Now open on Sundays. This is a great place and great location. The food is always good pickled beet appetizer is fresh different and really good. The fried cheese curds is how cheese should be fried. Never had a bad experience here. Ask for Grace she'll take care of you she is the best.

    Twenty tap was so sorely needed in this area of town. It's totally laid back and is teeming with potential as it gets settled. The restaurant is a bit noisy, but that was perfect for a Tuesday night and dining with a toddler. (Yay! Beer and kids are allowed without feeling bad about taking up space)! My cute little beer geek was delighting in the selection of taps, what a treat. My mushroom reuben was to die for... yep, watch me lick that plate. And the homemade aioli's were delicious and creamy - almost like butter. The service, however lost this place a star. Our dark-haired waitress was really nice, though I too had been left unimpressed by the blonde-bun lady on a previous visit too. The main problem was that it took about a year and a half for our food to come out. I felt bad for the people who were hanging around for over 30 minutes for a table. Really, I wasn't interested in sitting there that long, hogging a table, either. So kitchen folks, it seems to me that you have an issue to work out. The space isn't being used all that efficiently, you can fit in a bunch more tables, but the kitchen can't keep up with the small number of tables that they already have. I guess, serve people enough beer and they'll forget their troubles about getting an actual table.

  • Theodore B.

    In all honesty, I hate this place. On the plus side, there are (more than) twenty beers on tap! That's great news, and it was probably a good idea for them to include this fact in their name. This alone should be enough to make Twenty Tap a 4-5 star establishment. Sadly, it just isn't one. The environment in Twenty Tap sucks. It's small and crowded, but it really just feels totally unwelcoming because no matter where you are it feels like you're close to the door. The menu annoys me. I mean, great, another place in Indianapolis that serves average burgers/sandwiches for like, 9$. I'm so sick of this. Indianapolis must be the only city in the universe with such an absurdly low cost of living where people think that 8-9$ an entree is cheap. It's not cheap. It's not expensive, but a burger at the alley cat is 5$ and way better than this. Same with Workingman's Friend. I just don't understand why this place serves food at all. If I was going to describe what Twenty Tap serves, it would be "food flavored food". This could have been a great establishment in a really cool area. But, it's not. ah well.

    (2)

  • Tom R.

    I really wanted to like this place because on the face of it they have all the ingredients for a great pub, however one major area spoils it, sound. The wooden walls just deflect noise back into the bar area making it incredibly noisy. Add families with small children and it gets exponentially worse. The beer is great the food is good but for me to want to go back they need to consult a sound engineer. The service could also be a bit better.

  • Michael Z.

    I've been both floored and completely underwhelmed here. It's a shame it's not all that consistent, and it seems to have everything to do with how busy the place is. The first time I went was a weekday early in its life. Despite the chef being a vegan, the burger's were beautifully cooked to order and made with great beef. It was kind of busy, but the service was still quick and thoughtful. My group got great suggestions from the bartender on their vast selection too. I thought I had found my new favorite place, and raved about it to a lot of people. I guess a lot of other people did the same... On another occasion, the place was jammed, and it seemed like a completely different place. The service was lethargic and uninformed. The burgers, fries and cheese curds all failed my previously formed expectations. But, the Bahn Mi still rocked. They may have fixed these inconsistencies since I last visited. And, if they have, you're in for a real treat. Here's to hoping the pendulum swings back and finds a happy medium.

  • Tristan S.

    The more often I go, the better it gets. The place is rather noisy and quite busy around 6 or 7pm Thurs. - Sat. But it's been worth the wait, especially for their beer selection, which features an array of Indiana and regional brews. Unfortunately, the chalkboards they write them on are often hard to read or obscured by bar-goers who always look anxious about the fact that people are peering over their shoulders at the low menu. Food highlights: The Onion burger is incredible. Vegan bahn mi and veggie burgers are pretty good. Service has been about average: sometimes quite friendly, other times not so much. We've seen it operate in fits and starts. Last time we were there, we arrived at 7:15pm on Saturday and were told there wasn't much of a wait on the phone right before we got there. We ended up waiting an hour for a table for four. But the succulent Onion burger (so called because it has several onion rings on it) and the Long John Silvers-esque fries (in a good way!) quickly made me forget our wait. Oh, and the beer didn't hurt, either. P.S. They offer flights of several beers of your choosing. Good deal if you can't make up your mind.

    At Twenty Tap, you know no strangers. Up front, my biggest disappointment was that there were no porters or stouts on tap! But there were, as the name suggests, more than enough options to satisfy. I wasn't hungry, but I couldn't resist sampling some of the food. I ordered the mac & cheese appetizer. It's very thick and creamy, and the tiniest big spicy. Would probably make a great entree too with some cajun chicken added - not sure if they offer that! The Tyranena Rocky's Revenge Bourbon Brown complemented the mac & cheese perfectly.

    (3)

  • Neesha M.

    Two things I have to say: 1) The Banh Mi is in running for the best vegetarian sandwich in town. Vegetarian Batali (a la Goose the Market), watch out! 2) The waitress with the blonde dreds: SUPER nice today. Maybe the feedback has been heard, but the change leaves me nothing to be upset about :)

  • Theresa K.

    Eh. Twenty Tap. The parking is nonexistent, so you have to find a place on the street. When you walk in, it's really confusing as to sit down, wait for a seat, or what. There is absolutely no direction. We walked in, and I know a hostess or server saw us and ignored us until she was able to come over to us. Acknowledgement is always good, especially when you're so new that people probably don't know if they're doing the right thing. Luckily, there was an open seat, right up against another table. If you get a booth, you have a nice, large, spacious table. The rest of the tables were very close together, so close that you feel a bit uncomfortable squeezing in and out of your table. The people next to us overheard our order and commented on it. That was fine, though, but there are times where you just don't want people to be eavesdropping- Table sitting here is not the place if you want any privacy at all. I definitely overheard the whole conversation of a couple on the other side of us, and I was a bit annoyed. I had my back to the wall, and there was no beer list, so I had no idea what beers they had or what was on tap. Be sure to check out that wall when you come in. If you are sitting against the wall, it almost feels like people are staring at you. Our server was not very attentive. I think she kept getting overwhelmed or maybe just was a bit ADHD. She'd look up at the football game occasionally while we would be waiting for beer (something that takes a second to pour- eh). She was really nice, though. I'm sure she was probably just calming down from the busy mad rush. I would understand, as long as I have a beer in front of me ;) I went for a burger (can't remember which one)- just about all of them had something in it that I was completely unfamiliar with. The unfamiliar item on mine was some sort of ham? Oh, but the burger was so delicious and JUICY. Full of flavor. I belive the pickles are homemade- yum. We didn't order any because we were hungry for entrees, but they have CHEESE CURDS. So food- YES. Beer- YES (as long as it could be more clear?) Service- Could use a bit of work,and I'm sure it'll iron out as the place gets a bit more of a steady flow instead of mad rushes. Layout- Just really not that great. Don't really like being squeezed in, packed with a bunch of people I don't know, listening to their stupid conversations. Food- 4 stars Beer- 4 Stars Service- 3.5-4 stars Layout/atmosphere- 2 stars. I'm just gonna give it 4 (after debating 3).

  • Lorand M.

    Still not able to wrap my arms around the "atmosphere"...just seems to lack a conviviality to me.. Nice staff....not terribly outgoing....show very little interest in an infrequent visitor such as myself... I guess I expect the fake enthusiasm you get at places like Scottys. However, excellent and rotating beers...obviously chosen by folks who know and care about beer.. Food is pretty good...most recently smoked portabella rueben...an excellent take on the original......however....it seems my food gets the benefit of sitting out somewhere...as it never is very hot....the fries always luke warm....and it is usually after the barkeep says something along the lines of ...."ooops ! better check on your food"...and she brings it out immediately....maybe establish some means of informing the staff that food is ready for presentation ?? For the prices..which are not outrageous...I expect a bit better.

    I think Twenty Tap has the potential to be an awesome burger and brews joint. It's just not quite there. Some of the food is outstanding. Can't go wrong with the *original* fried cheese curds. I swear, I saw God when I ate them. The roasted garlic aioli is the perfect complement. The burgers are also satisfying --juicy and somewhat inventive, and priced fairly. The fries are perfect. Twenty Tap lacked in two areas for me: service and seasoning. The hostess, another young girl, accidentally crossed out our name and seated parties before us. She only realized it when we asked. A place that serves 20 beers on tap should employ people who know something about beer. The waitress I had wasn't knowledgable about the beer or food menus, describing a black lager as "dark." She also recommended my party of four get TWO orders of cheese curds based on the portion size. No one, we discovered, would ever need that many cheese curds (no matter how good they are). Now to the seasoning issue. The *spicy* fried cheese curds were as awful as the *original* cheese curds were amazing. The cook uses a blackening spice mix in the batter that overwhelms the dish with cumin and cayenne. It makes them nearly inedible. We told the waitress they sucked, basically, and she didn't care. The same seasoning mixture was used in the pulled pork sandwich. My sis-in-law, who doesn't like spicy food, ordered the sandwich and ate a fourth of it. The word "spicy" was never used to describe it on the menu, and the assumed manager asked if it was too spicy when she cleared the plate. Yes, my sis said, and then the manager complained about the cook. But she didn't take the sandwich off the bill or offer apologies. I am giving Twenty Tap three stars because I left the restaurant satisfied despite these things. Really, the fried cheese curds are worth a star on their own. We all agreed we'd rather return for apps and drinks.

    There are lots of great and accurate reviews of this place; I'll just review some basics. (1) GREAT beer. As the name conveys, 20 taps of various craft brews. I will say -- not the best overall balance. Our server admitted the selection can be a little heavy on certain types of beers. (2) Atmosphere is comfortable, dimly lit, but lively. There are two halves: a bar with plenty of standing room, plus two dart boards, and a seated restaurant-style area with booths and tables. (3) We sampled only appetizers, but they were delicious. It's difficult to find good fried cheese curds outside Wisconsin, but Twenty Tap succeeds. It comes with your choice of 2 out of 2 aiolis. All in all -- Twenty Tap is a great addition to the South Broad Ripple area. It was pretty busy when we went (granted, it was Friday evening). If you're a beer or gastropub fan, pay this place a visit!

    Let's think this through: Twenty taps. Oodles of local beer options. Well distinguished bar and restaurant spaces. Hoppin' intersection at 54th and College, often featuring a food truck. What's not to love? I happened to Finally make my way into Twenty Tap last week for a Girls' Pint Out event. Given that it was Three-Fifty Tuesday, the place was packed. Given that it was Three-Fifty Tuesday, I got to try Triton Brewing's Sin Bin (which I very much enjoyed) at a really reasonable price. Won't find that shiz in London when I hop the pond. The bartender was kind enough to let me try a couple beers too, as I wanted to get my bearings on some beers I had never tried before (I also gave the Fountain Square Brewing Bock a taste). The staff was busy, and it was hard to get up to order, but I luckily tucked in next to a local and was set for a few minutes while I waited for my brew. I imagine on a quieter night, it is quite a good place to enjoy a football game (not the American kind, you know how I roll) and a few pints. I didn't have the time, or space in my stomach, to try any of my foods. But, then again, the name is Twenty Tap, so it's clear what their focus is on. And I can speak clearly to that by saying: if you want options, you've got them. Again, what's not to love?

    LOVE that they have vegan options. I had the Bahn Mi and my mother had the BBQ Tempeh. The only (constructive) criticism that I have is that the tofu wasn't pressed or cooked, which was fine, but if the chef would press it and fry it, it would be out-of-this-world unbelievable! As it was, it was pretty soft and a bit messy. If it was pressed it would have soaked up the flavor beautifully. Love the beer selection, service was great :) Will hope to visit again, and would love to add a couple stars to the review!

    The only negative thing I could say about this place is the wait for a table upon arriving. If you can hold out for an hour wait or so, you're in for some great food. I haven't had a bad meal yet and the burgers are the best in the city. Along with a diverse range in style of beers, this place is always my first choice in dining out.

    After an intially poor first visit, I am now an official fan of Twenty Tap (proof that certain places definitely need more than one visit before you sit down to write the ol' yelp review). It's a warm and inviting place, with a welcoming staff, fabulous beer, and vegetarian menu offerings. Order some fries with some dipping sauces and you will wonder how you ever enjoyed the taste of beer without those awesome fries before. Salty deliciousness with garlicy horseradishey goodness. Or perhaps it helps that beer is awesome on its own. Anyways. It can get a little cold in winter with those gigantic windows, and the layout is a bit awkward if you're just standing, grab a seat at the bar if you can (or just wait for someone to stand up). The tables are a bit close together, so I don't usually attempt to dine on that side and prefer the bar. You don't have to be a beer snob to go there, and the staff will help you out with suggestions if you are at a loss. A nice mix of people in terms of the crowd (hispters, preps, business-y looking people) makes for good people watching too.

    They have twenty beers on tap and delicious food. I'm not sure it gets much better than this. The quality of food, service, and atmosphere all combine with great beer and not-your-typical-broad-ripple-pricing to make Twenty Tap one of the best locations to gather with friends and enjoy some pints. My fiancee and I happened to decide on trying the place out for the beer. We did not have high expectations when we ordered the food, but after receiving our appetizer basket of fries, I think we were both hooked. (Be cautioned that their fries are fantastic and addictive!) She always like to order on the lighter side and get something that has a modicum of nutritional value, which usually leaves her disappointed when the only thing to order is an iceberg salad. Twenty Tap was already well-prepared for her, however, with a great tasting vegetarian (tofu) sandwich and a side salad that was worthy of a 4-5 star restaurant. I am the guy with beef on the mind and grease in my veins, I can assure you that their burgers are quality. Vegetarian Friendly, Beefatarian Friendly, and great beer!

    Damn good food, and damn good beer. Love the emphasis on local products. Had a burger and salad that were both delicious. $4.75 a pint is a little steep (I'm cheap), but the $3.50 pints on Tuesdays is a hell of a deal considering the selection they've got.

    Twenty Tap is a great addition to the So-Bro neighborhood, and is a good alternative to the smokey scene next door. While they do not have the largest selection of beers on tap in town, I will say that it's the most eclectic choice of craft beers in the area. If you're not a big beer drinker, and don't know your way from a Pilsner to a stout to an IPA, don't worry, the employees are very knowledgeable and are more than happy to pour you a taste. This was our first visit, and to my wife's surprise I did not check out the Yelp review in advance (I know, shame on me). As a result we had dinner across the street before hand. Next time I'll be sure to come with an appetite as the options on the menu look deeelicious. Though we had just come from dinner, it was hard for me to pass up ordering the seasoned fries paired with garlic aioli, and a horesradish dipping sauce. My only complaint is the lack of seating in the bar area. There's a large portion taken up by two dart boards, and while I myself am a big fan of the game, I'd venture to guess that patrons would still stop by to have a pint even they weren't there. I'm sure the owners would even see an increase in business if more seating were available. Just my two cents...

    Great burgers. Their roasted beet salad is especially tasty & plenty enough to share. This was our second time there. Even though we waited a long time for a table, the servers were way more friendly than they were behind the bar. In fact we had decided that if the service had been as unfriendly this visit we wouldn't return no mater how good the food. Luckily we had a better experience.

  • Matt F.

    Great beer selection with taps of Stone, Founders, Peoples, Brugge, Two Brothers, Upland, and more. Friendly bartenders. Food was not on our agenda so I can't comment on the grub. It sounds like they have some good choices, however, so we'll be back. Based on the beer selection, this will be on the list of places to stop when looking for good draft beer in the Broad Ripple area.

    A warm welcome from the hostess started our experience quite nicely. We were seated at a booth and promptly visited by our waitress, who had a casual and helpful approach throughout the meal. Great beer selection, which is kind of the point. Our group found plenty to enjoy, although the People's Pilsner tasted a bit like an IPA in its hop levels. I do wish they would include a sour beer in their choices, particularly to go with their fried menu items. I also recommend ordering the smaller beer portions - you can sample more that way without getting shlockered. I ordered their house-made black bean burger. Our waitress was still learning the details of the menu and, when asked about what was in the burger beyond the black beans, she readily inquired with the kitchen and delivered our answer. Many restaurants are happy to unthaw a GardenBurger or other pre-made choice, so I really appreciate a burger made in house. Twenty Tap's is yummy, though mine was perhaps a bit overcooked on one side. The folks with me ordered burgers (well-received, though some debate about the difference between medium and medium-rare...) and the deluxe grilled cheese. For the grilled cheese, the kitchen happily subbed the normal cheese choice with gruyere (why don't restaurants start with gruyere for grilled cheese? - it's such a good melty cheese). The fries were respectable. The house salad side was surprisingly good. No dessert was needed after our perfectly-sized portions - not too much, not too little. But we'll definitely try some of the rest of the menu - which had solid vegetarian choices, as well as a vegan banh mi - and the apps next time. Only little negatives, beyond staff getting acclimated on the first week: it gets pretty noisy in there and seating fills up quickly. Going off peak hours is recommended.

    Great beer selection, plenty of microbrews with a focus on local stuff. Food was outstanding - honestly one of the best turkey burgers I've ever tasted. Deluxe grilled cheese with tomato and spinach was also unbelievable. I love places that have an identity and stick to it. The menu has something for everyone, yet is compact enough you know they stick to what they specialize in (burgers, sandwiches, appetizers). Our service was absolutely outstanding - our waitress told us about the beers, offered samples, made food recommendations and was never more than a step away when we needed her. Went on a Saturday afternoon and were seated right away in a big, comfortable booth. I've heard it can get busy at peak times but that's to be expected from a new place that gets great reviews. There's always plenty of parking around that part of town. I can't wait to go back.

  • Anthony S.

    I went here on whim with a small group because we wanted to do a beer sampling. For 6 dollars you can get 3 mini sized glasses. They have a large selection of microbrews (hence twenty tap) and it's truly a beer aficionado's paradise. Also, the bartender was friendly and you could tell that she enjoyed working here. I haven't tried their food but I've heard it good. From looking at the menu they appear to have a pretty typical pub-like options. If I could make one complaint it's that it can get pretty loud if there's a bunch of people chatting loudly and yelling at the TV. Also, and this is kind of a weird comment, but it seems to be a tad too bright in there for a bar/restaurant. Anyways regardless this is a great and welcomed business in the neighborhood. You'll have fun.

    Great bar, but more importantly, great bartenders. I went in and asked for a beer recommendation, and they served me up a glass of pure ambrosia. It was a beer so delicate and tasty I could swish it in my mouth for days without it getting sour. Their selection is amazing, the atmosphere is nice, if a little crowded. But what do you expect for a place like this?

  • Robbie R.

    After reading all of the great reviews I though I would check it out today. The the beer was great (Brugge Black) the fries were just okay (frozen not fresh) and the burger was just okay. The burger was a little undercooked for my taste, there was nothing special about the bun or toppings. The meat was fresh and had a great taste to it though. But for $18 (including tip) for a burger, fries and a beer there are several better and less expensive choices in Indy and the immediate area. I will also say that the bartender was very friendly and attentive.

  • Danielle T.

    The burgers are the bomb. The cheese curds might be made of crack. And, the beer selection is always delightful. Plus, I don't think I'd feel weird showing up to the place in sweat pants, so that always adds a star on my scale. Awesome.

  • Phil Y.

    I really want to like this place, however, until Twenty Tap does something about the acoustics in the bar section I may have to stay away. We had a couple of beers the other night and a sandwich and the bar was busy but not really busy, however, it sounded like the place was packed due to how loud it was in there from everyone's voice bouncing off the walls and ceiling. I even spoke to a owner of another local bar / eatery and he commented on how loud it was and that something needs to be done. Okay, on to the BEER, great selection of beer, a lot of the beer is from Indiana, however not all, so if you are looking for a place to try out some of Indiana's great breweries (i.e. Upland, Three Floyds, Sun King and New Albanian) this is one of the places in Indy to go (the other is the Tomlinson Tap room located downtown in the City Market.) As for food, I had the pressed Cuban sandwich and fries, I'll give this sandwich a 5+ stars!!! The bartender(s) were pleasant a polite, I wanted a really hoppy beer and didn't know what to order so she gave a free sample of three beers to try, I'll give the bartenders 5+ stars. Twenty Tap is a going to be a great place to hang and have a few pints, once they take care of the acoustics.

    Twenty Tap is another great addition to the Midtown neighborhood. It's reasonably-priced, quality food. There are many vegetarian options and it is kid friendly (dining area is separate from bar). The bar could use more seating and ambiance. But it goes without saying that the beer selection is great! The wait staff is really friendly too!

    Service is amateur - My girlfriend here and told me I would really like it. We stopped in one weekday evening around 9-ish. We sat at the bar. Ordered a beers and then ordered a couple burgers. Everything was nice, until we got our burgers. Both of our burgers were cooked medium. We like them cooked a bit more than that. Not a big deal, so we asked for our burgers to be remade. The bartender, a tall woman, told us that all of their burgers were cooked medium, unless requested differently. Ok, that's a first. Wish we would have been told that. Now mind you, our burgers were pretty stacked with toppings. Then the bartender said, "So do you want me to these back on the grill?" Our bartender was noticeable annoyed with us. My girl said no, and I said yes. Then told here never mind. We got the burgers taken off. Then right before we are about to walk away, the snooty bartender returns with just my burger remade and asked me if wanted it. She still was copin an attitude with me. Really??? I got better service at the Ally Cat! Don't eat at the bar. Try the real setting. I don't know if the food is good, but beer selection was ok.

    Looking for a variant on our regular lunch date, my friend and I decided to scrap the patio at the 'chou in lieu of SoBro's newest addition: Twenty Tap. We opted to sit at the bar so that we could get a better feel for the beers and hopefully get an insider's guide to the menu from the bartender and other locals bellied up. The menu is a quick read but doesn't lack depth. We started w the Beer Battered Cheese Curds (a definite 'must' if you are a cheese addict like me) served w two of the house aiolis- we chose roasted garlic and horseradish. Both delicious. To compliment, I had the Tyranena Double Barrel Bourbon Beer which had a very well-rounded flavor and a fantastic hoppy-finish. A perfect pairing for the curds! For my meal, I decided on the Deluxe Grilled Cheese and had the kitchen add prosciutto. The sandwich was tasty, and very filling, but the star that stole the show was by far the house seasoned fries. The batter was light & crispy and the flavor delicious. Dip them in the house aiolis and you will be looking at an empty plate fast -- SO good. I will definitely be back in the future - if for no other reason than to enjoy some fries and a beer. The atmosphere needs to be worn in a bit, as it feels similar to a stale Applebees w/o all the flare on the walls, but in time I have full confidence that TT's patrons will add a twist of their own.

    Twenty Tap has more than 20 taps now, but it's still a great place to grab a vegan bahn mi and a great craft beer option. They have all kinds of taps ranging from dry hard ciders to imperial stouts (in the Summer too!). The staff is well trained and knowledgeable about the beers and will help you find that perfect pint. I highly recommend checking out the cheese curds and my husband loves the burgers here.

    I'm so happy this place is here. Great beer and a great environment. I've come here for beers with friends and for dinner and loved it every time. You should know that its a very relaxed atmosphere, and I don't think the waiters work here because their dream job was waiting tables. Will the service be a bit slow, yes. Will they see your empty water glass and assume you want more, probably not. But will they be very friendly and knowledgeable about the beer? yes. The last time I went, we got the pickle chips which were great but maybe a bit too much food for 2 people and the vegan bahn mi which was great. I could only eat half (too many fried pickles) but I took the other half home and at it for lunch the next day and it was even better! You sit close to the other patrons, but I like the small pub feeling of that so it wasn't an issue.

    kind of a hipster hangout (not that there's anything wrong with that) with a great fancy beer menu and good food. walk into a hostess stations, north side has eating booths (compliments to the high dividers, like the original bw3 in broad ripple used to be). light wood booths and flooring. south side is the bar with a few high tables towards the front, a bar with two sides, rounded on the corner, and stools/beer ledge along the wall. maybe 10-12 stools. bar back contains the long row of taps with brushed stainless background. above the taps are mirrors (installed higher than most people stand). finally above the mirrors are the beer menus (also have 8x11s on the bar). bar top is a nice medium wood. well lit the times whenever i've been here. friendly bartenders that are very helpful when choosing a beer. have many of the local beers. food is alright, but nothing to brag about. appetizers are better. though the bar has little character, it's good place to grab a beer on your way from downtown. could see being a regular if lived close enough. great addition to a growing intersection/area.

    The excellent well-placed plethora of electric sockets is a testament to the attention to detail of Twenty Tap. A weird opening statement? Maybe. Consider the intersection of day long drinking and beer... and the relationship of beer and remembering to charge a phone. Whether this was happenstance for the biz owner to get awesome outlet placement at nearly every booth... well I don't care... it's awesome. Also consider the potential of plugging in a laptop and working at a booth or scoring fantasy points while watching games. At first glance I thought, "hmmm... twenty taps of beer... I've seen twenty taps of beer before. What's the big idea?" Then I saw their tap list and I got the point. I don't think there was a tap from outside the Midwest, and most of the taps are Indiana beers. The most splendid tap though on my first visit... Tyreanena (sp?) 's Rocky Revenge: a bourbon barrel aged brown. Both times I let the kitchen decide how to cook the burger... it was overcooked. Albeit good... an overcooked burger can be a bummer. Now I know to be particular in my order. The fries taste like they've been manufactured in animal fat (read: like OG McD's) and to me that's fun, and good. By no means is this the best burger in town. More serviceable burger than the craft burger it wants to be. (Yes, I'm parsing here... so said parsing shouldn't overshadow the fact this burger + their beer options = a thoroughly satisfying meal outside the home.) I haven't had anything beyond burger, fries, beer. Oh, wait, I had boiled peanuts -- and once doused in salt or pepper they'd be even better than plain I'd assume. They also serve Upper Crust pie (which apparently is a nunnery turned piemakery), and it's delicious. Let's consider something odd on this menu: burgers are $9, other meat sandwiches are $9 and the mushroom reuben is $9 (and the tofu banh mi is $8). This pricing seems askew to the rules of the marketplace. How much would a pastrami reuben then be -- $9? This warps the value system. On one hand this makes the burger seem like a great value while I would feel like I'm overpaying if I buy a mushroom sandwich. Then, consider banh mi sandwiches at your local Viet shop are $3, and so it's completely a bamboozling of WASPs to pay $8 for a tofu banh mi. Maybe consider a food happy hour for $3 banhi mi to balance this out? They've created a wonderfully accessible place for local suds for people who may not always be welcome to such beer, so Mission Accomplished in that battle (but don't be too early to fly that banner on an air carrier -- consider a retooling of menu prices -- I'd even take a $11 burger that's bigger and more refined instead of a meager burger for $9). I'm no pricing expert... but I do know that if one spends too much time parsing dollars and decisions on a menu (which then creates raised expectations of food quality because the time involved is greater), the joy of an experience can be diminished even when the beer and service is unmatched. Rightly so, this seems like a very refined and well-tuned gateway for many to the world of craft beer bars & gastropubs. Softly lit with ample space, booths and darts -- along with a thought out draft list this is going to welcome many people who may not have ever considered Indiana beer into the awesome world of Indiana beer. For that I am massively thankful this place exists.

    Finally tried out Twenty Tap after hearing so many great reviews. Went with a couple adults and one 2 year old, so yes sorry to all the other people. However, he was given crayons and coloring paper which kept him busy for a while. We went around 5:45p on a Saturday night and only waited about 5 min for a spacious booth. When bringing a child, its nice to have the "family" side separate from the "bar" side although the layout is a tiny bit odd--can't place my finger on it, but still wanting to go without my nephew and check out the bar side. Tried two different flights--beers were great--good addition to a fun atmosphere. I will definitely be returning to this place for the great selection of Indiana beers. We all ordered burgers, mine being the black bean burger. My burger was just OK. Not bad, but nothing special to it--bun was nothing special and toppings were the same. The other meat burgers that were ordered were undercooked--asked for medium well and it was more like medium, but fresh meat and overall taste of everything was just OK. Fries are great-- and horseradish aioli is highly recommended. Overall, the atmosphere is fun and quaint for a neighborhood joint. Although there is no parking, you can either walk or just park near by and walk. Didn't notice any music...but that may be a good touch. Will definitely be returning for beer and maybe just appetizers.

    Prepare to wait even on a weekday at 8pm. The beer was great, but food not so much. Our burgers were way overcooked and cheese curds were just ok. The atmosphere like previous reviewers mentioned was very noisy and made difficult for conversation. There were no kids when I was there, but would agree that this is definitely not a kid-friendly place.

  • Julie M.

    Def the place to go to get a taste of all local brews. Also a small wine selection. Being small as it is and unfortunately they were out of one ( only 6 total ). Great selections for veggies and vegans. Impressed by the selection actually! Keep it up. This was my second visit and some of the kinks have been worked out with staff. The first time it seemed disorganized. But I'm always for giving a great local place a second try. Nice neighborhood feel. Smoke free. Bar seating separate from the dining area. I have high hopes for this little place!

  • Chris O.

    Since I first heard about this place, I'd been eagerly anticipating its opening. You had to take some initiative to learn about it, as they currently don't have a website or even a Facebook account -- just a Twitter account, which is kind of charming, really. I went the first night, which I realize is kind of taking a chance. I was surprised by how crowded it was; we arrived around 9:30 and had to wait a few minutes for a table, which was fine. It gave us a chance to look at the excellent beer list (mostly regional -- all Indiana except for Bells, Bluegrass and the oddball: Stone) and menu. Of the latter, you can expect essentially a delightful twist of a standard pub menu. Lots of creative and tempting burgers, excellent starters (pickled beets, fried cheese curds, pimento mac & cheese, etc) and maybe the best fries in town. I should point out that they seemed to be slightly understaffed -- perhaps they weren't expecting such a busy opening night, but they handled it like old pros. Never were we neglected and never did the servers appear stressed or flustered. The food was delicious. The burgers are grilled medium unless otherwise requested and mine was closer to medium rare. This was fine with me, but it could bother some people. If you're afraid of a little red in your burger, you should probably request it medium-well. I honestly think that this was just a first night glitch, though, and not something to be expected regularly. It was so good that I went back the next night and was even more impressed. The food and service were even better (it was our servers first night, though obviously not her first time in the service industry). These burgers are right up there with the best in town. Unless you want something over-the-top like The Sinking Ship's stuffed burger (delicious, by the way) or Bubs' massive big ugly, I'd say this is probably your place.

  • Laurette K.

    So, we have tried to go twice since they opened and both times they were SO busy that we decided to come back at a later time. We finally went when they were not quite as busy. I ordered the turkey burger, $9, and it was really tasty. I ordered it on a bun, not on the english muffin it is supposed to come on. Whipped goat cheese and caramelized onions were great too. Anytime there is goat cheese involved, I have to give it a try. We also indulged in the beer cheese. UM, it is so LARRRRRGGGGEEEE... and is a great addition to the fries!

  • Bryan B.

    Great to see some life back in the old Northside News. I was very excited to see 20 tap open for a number of reasons especially because my office is about 50 feet away. The beer selection is great hands down and if you want a burger you will not be disappointed, but if you looking for something more you might be let down. I have had a few of their sandwiches and they have been good, but not great. I have to say that the NSN Reuben was better and I miss that sandwich. I would also like to see some bar tables instead of a third of the bar area being used for darts. Darts are great in theory but not when you have a bunch of drunk people trying to squeeze into a small space. Update 7/14/12 20 Tap has really gotten their act together and improved the food and beer options. Added a great new salad and some Vegan options not to mention the smothered fries. Great addition to the neighborhood and scary close to my office...dangerous!

    This place is rockin. Great beer selection and great sandwiches. I've tried a bunch of different beers here and have always been happy with the selection on tap. Since moving to Indy 9 months ago, I have been here more than any other beer bar in town because the beers and chill vibe are just that good. The only thing I would change is the weird setup of the bar. In order to get to the bar area you have to bypass a dart board. Just don't think this is a smart idea. Besides the obvious hazards of a sharp object to the eye, it takes up a lot of space in the bar area where there could be tables for people to sit down and have a couple beers. Instead, I would suggest nixing the dart board and putting some pub tables in that front area by the window. Additionally, after the dinner crowd leaves, the dining room is useless and could really be utilized for more seating. There have been a couple times that I stopped by for a beer only to find that i had to stand awkwardly in the middle of the room (dodging the darts!) without a place to put my coat or beer down. Thus, I had one beer and left instead of staying for a couple beers and a snack. One final request: add a few more interesting snack items besides fries and curds (which are awesome)!

  • Julie D.

    I thought I was entering a place that was more about beer than food. I was WRONG! The starter, Fried Cheese Curds with the aiolis was a great new take on fried cheese sticks. A little greasy but come on.... it's fried cheese after all. If you love fried cheese you gotta try this! The burger I had was excellent. Flavorful, juicy and nice and thick. I got the Italian and loved that they used Arugula for garnish and not a torn piece of Romaine or Iceburg. Definitely added just the right touch. My friend ordered The Wrath burger which was not as good as mine. His was rather dry and bland despite the cheese, mushrooms and onions. Although a small dining area, it didin't feel like the diners and tables were packed in. The wait staff was excellent. I never once saw a server not constantly looking around keeping an eye on their tables. Friendly, casual and attentive service. That's not too common. Just what the 54th & College neighborhood needed!

    I was really disappointed in the quality of the buns used for the 9$ burgers. Sometimes it is the little things, like using quality buns for what could have been a good burger. If I am not mistaken, I think they used pre frozen patties as well. Boo! The atmosphere was nice and the Oatmeal stout on tap was yummy. Wait staff was friendly. They need to use quality ingredients before I will eat there again.

    'Twenty Tap' makes local beer the obvious draw. Three Floyds, Peoples, New Albanian, Sun King, Bloomington, Bluegrass, Founders, Flat 12, Upland, Fountain Square and more are represented here. Owner Kevin Matalucci must be very well connected to offer Zombie Dust (even briefly) on tap. I've used the flight (3 six ounce beers for $6) to maximize sampling and have thoroughly enjoyed the process. I've also enjoyed the Tuesday special on pints. The brew brought me in and the food ensures my return. I'm not a vegetarian but I tend to favor vegie selections when they are well represented. I had the Bahn Mi smoked tofu on my first visit and it was one of the best sandwiches I have had. I had the side salad which was incredible as well. On my next visit I had the Smoked Mushroom Rueben on rye and it was great. I selected the 3 bean salad and it was very good. I went with the vegie burger on my next visit. I thoroughly enjoyed it as well. I've returned three more times and I am rotating through the three vegie offerings and still prefer the Bahn Mi, then the Mushroom Reuben followed by the vegie burger. I talked with the bar tender co-owner and understand that they will ad more vegie slections in the future. Service has consistently improved over the month or so that I have been supporting this establishment. Everyone has been pleasant and interested in making it a positive experience. In all visits the bar tender or another stepped in to assist. I enjoyed the layout and simple decor.

    When Twenty Tap first opened up, I was a little bit skeptical about its success. I had heard various rumors that it was an Indiana-only beer bar... a brew pub owned by the same people as that other place... but what I ended up walking into was something that I seriously enjoyed. A few friends of mine from work as well as a few out of towners came in for some dinner and some beer. Once I saw the beer menu, I knew I had some work to do so I set out trying a few different brews I hadn't had before while splitting the cheese curds with everyone at the table. I don't care if you think you know what cheese curds are or aren't, these are awesome! Twenty Tap has plenty of vegetarian options, including the black bean burger that I had. I can't wait to go back and have another one! A little tip - since you have the option of sitting down to dinner and staying for a few drinks (or... a few hours if you absolutely MUST try 10 different beers... ahem...) make sure you're ok with a little bit of a wait if you're coming in for food later in the evening.

    Great beer selection and good burgers. Fyi...burgers are prepared medium-rare. Next time I'll ask for well done.

    I took a random day off work and decided to peep twenty tap for a brew and burger. The place was dead which was what i was hoping for arriving between lunch and dinner. I can see this place getting crowded as hell in the evening. They have an open area for darts for those who like to throw sharp things. They should probably add some small tables or a ledge on the wall opposite the bar on which people could set pints and stand around trying to look cool. The atmosphere is a bit weird, probably because the place is new and not broken in yet... and because it was bright as hell in there (the sun's fault). They have a great roster of beers and a nice simple menu. The Wrath burger was juicy and covered with mushrooms and bleu cheese sauce. I'm stoked that it was $9 with a side of fries. Too many places are trying to ruin my day by making me "upgrade" to fries. The fries reminded me of a mix between rally's fries and what i remember burger king fries tasting like after they switched up their fry style. There are a bunch of other burgers and sandwiches i look forward to trying. Something funny that happened during my visit was a cop coming in to yell at the beer delivery dude who had parked his truck on college totally blocking traffic. Cop was pissed, and i found it funny.

    This review is coming solely from the perspective of a Northside News fan who was heartbroken when they closed down. NN's spicy Cuban was the best sandwich I think I've ever eaten, and for a while I was getting one of them a week. When I heard 20 Tap had moved in where Northside used to be and was making a spicy Cuban in their honor, I had to try it. So that sandwich almost alone is the subject of this review. I got it to go, so I have no thoughts on the service. Place looked nice enough for the minute I was there - certainly an improvement in decor and ambience over Northside News' look (which I would describe as disheveled hole-in-the-wall). My first thought on opening the box I received was, yay fries! 20 Tap makes strong french fries that I imagine would make a great companion to any sandwich. I try to steer clear of fries and chips usually for health reasons, but these were too good not to eat. Some kind of dipping sauce (like the many great ones at Brugge Brassiere) would have pushed things to another level, but maybe next time. On to the centerpiece though. If you were never lucky enough to enjoy Northside's spicy Cuban, let me explain. A traditional Cuban sandwich consists of thin-sliced (but not wispy) sweet cured ham, thin-sliced pork shoulder or loin with a particular flavor to it, Swiss cheese, sliced pickles, and mustard on buttered Cuban bread (a kissing cousin of French bread, but airier and better). The whole thing is pressed to become crunchy on the outside, melty and steamy on the inside, and just amazing. Northside's innovation (unique to them as far as I know) was to replace the Swiss with pepper jack and the mustard with Sriracha. Presto, the spicy Cuban. This combination was delicious in extremis to the point that it overruled all good sense and logic; I had to have them, as often as possible. It's not the hugeness that makes this sandwich, because it was never thick or overstuffed. It's just the amazing combination of flavors. 20 Tap's variant at a glance looks like the same thing, but it's not quite. The pepper jack, the ham, the pickles and the Sriracha are there. The pickles could have been more plentiful (you really want a layer - there should be pickle in every bite of a Cuban) but that is a minor nitpick. The bread is not as good as Northside's excellent Cuban bread - and I wish I knew where they got that stuff from - but it's close enough for horseshoes. No complaints. You can make a good Cuban on a few different types of bread, as long as they're sufficiently light to compress down, and crisp when they come off the press or grill. Their bread pulled this off, so I was happy. Two things did bring the sandwich down though. One is small and easy to fix: for some reason, they put mayo on it. Mayo? A good Cuban is not adulterated with such things. If I return (and I will), I'll definitely be asking for no mayo; it should be mustard only on the regular, or Sriracha only on the spicy (plus butter on both, of course). I know some people eat Cubans with mayo on them, but I'm not in that camp; the mustard is traditional because it's better, and Sriracha needs no companion. The other, more serious problem is the pork. This is the secret beating heart of a great Cuban sandwich and it's the only part of 20 Tap's version that was seriously wrong. Once in a bar in Lafayette I had an otherwise-standard Cuban made with BBQ pulled pork. It wasn't soaked in BBQ sauce but it was clearly flavored that way, and cooked that way - slow cooked with lots of water and then pulled or shredded. This not only changed the overall flavor, it entirely threw off the delicate balance of the sandwich. Cuban sliced pork isn't quite as strong-tasting as BBQ pulled pork, and the flavor is decidedly different, so it matches well with the ham and pickle. And as much as I love pulled pork in the right context - on a fluffy bun, in a smokehouse joint, sauce on the side - sliced pork is the better texture for this particular sandwich. Well, unfortunately 20 Tap has committed the same mistake with theirs. In both places I almost got the sense that the pork was made primarily for some other purpose (like a pulled pork sandwich) and was also used, secondarily and in an offhand manner, to fill out the Cuban. This is where they lost me a little bit. The best pork for this sandwich should be roasted in citrus juice (usually orange and lime) plus lots of onion and some garlic, and sliced thin; that's the model that works. If 20 Tap did so, their Cuban would be off-the-charts good. It would be nearly as good as that now-legendary best sandwich I ever ate. Overall, I think this place looks really promising, I love their fries, and I saw a burger while I was in there that looked like it was worth the future heart surgery. I'll definitely be back. And their Cuban is a very enjoyable sandwich - it's just not quite the sandwich I was hoping for. With any luck, they'll change that pork.

    Twenty Tap. Good as it is, no changes needed. A little loud when crowded. If you are snobbish and don't like being close to other people you may not be happy here. Two steel tip dart boards up front in the bar room which is nice. (Some people think its wrong to not have more tables there but the boards add for socializing and are a great benefit.) The staff are nice and put up with some closed minded people rather well. If you want white bread and a cookie cutter place go somewhere else. The menu is unique and you won't find things like this at any chain. Great spicy Cuban sandwich. Twenty taps of regional beer! The beer menu changes constantly because of it is difficult to keep up with demand. Ask your server for selections that are your preference; Belgian, hops, dark, wheat, sours, etc.. It is nice to have another place that allows and supports their staff in being their self; tattoos, piercing, dreads, yes. Give me personality! Oh and plenty of parking behind the office building two doors north.

    The more I go here, the more I like it. They have great burgers and the staff are really friendly! Excellent rotating beer selection. Great place. They are still working on the atmosphere, but either I'm getting used to it, or it has improved. I wish they had more seating though- there is often a wait to eat here now.
