The story of O'Bryan's Nine Irish Brothers begins 30 years ago, when founder Jerry O'Bryan told his wife, Jan, that if his other business didn't work out, he wanted to open an Irish pub. Jerry's business, The Hairman, ended up being a campus icon, but after 30 years, two children and a grandchild, Jerry finally decided it was time to realize his dream, an authentic Irish pub serving traditional Irish fare, Guinness by the pint, and featuring live music and the friendly, upbeat atmosphere typical of Irish pubs world-wide.

Nine Irish Brothers is family-owned, family-designed-and-built, and family-run. And family has quite a bit to do with the name, of course. Over the course of several trips to Ireland, we've been able to hand-pick our furniture and decor for each location. We've also spent an inordinate amount of time "researching" pubs in Ireland and have modeled our pub after our favorite spots, from Garvey's on Ayre's Square in Galway to Johnnie Fox's on the northern outskirts of Dublin. Stop by and ask for one of the family to show you around!

Most people would say the Peace Water Winery story is pretty crazy. We guess any story that includes 8 kids, 3 dogs, 2 cats, 2 horses, a cow, basketball, soccer, a 1966 Volkswagen 21 window "hippie van" and a double chocolate chip frappuccino would be considered crazy by most. However, we do not think the idea that inspired our project is all that crazy:

Simple acts of kindness can have a ripple effect that can help change the world.

So while our family is large our vision is larger. When you drink our wine you are supporting charities here and across the world. Thank you for helping us make this world a more peaceful place, one bottle at a time.

Indianapolis Premiere Supper Club With A Modern Twist. The Mass. Ave Corridor of Indianapolis—and more specifically, Bottleworks District. The team of Clancy's Hospitality, Executive Chef Ricky Martinez, and locally renowned designers, Phanomen/Design, have created The Fountain Room—a place that not only elevates what has already been done, but evolves the American Supper Club for the modern diner.

Inspiration for The Fountain Room stems from visions of a retro supper-club vibe.  Repetitive geometric patterns and timeless millwork details are paired with texture and color combinations that are meant to give visitors a sense of nostalgia for times past.  Think of a traditional Art Deco dining establishment that also functions as a social club.  High class, yet affordable. Formal, yet relaxed.

Pride in our commitment to technically excellent service, with an emphasis on warm hospitality, is the cornerstone of our business. Coaching our staff to think our customers as guests in our own home. That's who we are, that's who we will always be. 

Pedego is different because we put people first.

The most important part of every Pedego isn’t some high-tech gadget or fancy bicycle component – it’s the person riding it.

Producing great electric bikes is just the beginning. To be truly great, a company has to stand for something…

Pedego stands for you.

In 1996, Local 416 opened the Indianapolis Firefighters Museum to celebrate the history of the Fire Service in central Indiana and the fire department’s contribution to the Indianapolis community.  

In 1984, the President of Local 416, Mike Schenk, and his Executive Board were on the search for a location for a new Union Hall.  It was then that they came across Fire Station #2 which had opened in January of 1872  near the corner of College and Massachusetts Ave.  At the time, Fire Station #2 was coincidentally enough, a firetrap filled with flammable remains of a laminating business.  

Indianapolis Firefighters Union then decided to restore Fire Station #2 along with an adjacent livery stable.  With a good amount of community support, the building has been restored and stands as an anchor on the north end of Massachusetts Avenue along with art galleries, small shops, restaurants, and hotels. 

The museum features a 1921 Stutz ladder truck, a 1919 Stutz pumper, a 1941 IFD Shop-built pumper, and a 1949 International Harvester pumper refurbished by members of the former Warren Township Fire Department. Memorabilia, photos, and equipment have been donated by local firefighters.

Today historic station #2 features classical and Italianate details, a restored bell tower, and twin fire poles.  Station #2 also serves as the Indianapolis Professional Firefighters Union Headquarters.

The District Theatre began operations in 2017. Prior to its creation, it was the home of Theatre on the Square, or “TOTS”. for 30 years.  TOTS focused on unique and original theatre, producing shows that fearlessly embraced marginalized communities, subject matters, and ideas, sometimes holding a mirror up to society that didn’t always embrace diversity. It also became a touchstone for the LGBTQ community by presenting productions that gave voice to a culture when few other companies would do so.

The last mass at St. Joseph church was said by Archbishop Schulte on June 26, 1949. Today, St. Joesph offers fresh, innovative food items updated seasonally to reflect the desires of our loyal, and ever building customer base.

Named after Alexander Ralston, the engineer who after moving to the United States from Scotland, was hired in 1820 to help survey our city. In 1821, Ralston was then commissioned by the Indiana General Assembly to make a city plan for Indianapolis. As originally planned, the city’s 1-square mile footprint included the Governor’s mansion placed centrally on a large circular commons. Demolished in 1857, the original Governor’s mansion was replaced by what we know today as Monument Circle featuring the 284-foot tall limestone and bronze Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument.

Join us at Ralston’s to experience a delightful atmosphere and sensational menu of fine beers, wines and complementary dishes.

One step in, and what you’ll find is something quite inviting, with as much character as you’d expect along Massachusetts Avenue in Indianapolis.

Chatham Tap opened its doors on Mass Ave in Indianapolis in September of 2007 with the goal of bringing a pub in the tradition of the English “local” to the Chatham-Arch neighborhood of Indianapolis.

While keeping with the friendly and laid back tradition of a neighborhood pub, we sought to rise above the “pub-grub” level with our menu.  Emphasizing sandwiches and appetizers, our award-winning menu is a unique combination of flavors and styles, with plenty of vegetarian options as well as enough choices for the carnivores out there.  Yes, you will find wings, nachos, and pizza on our menu.  But we hope they are unlike any wings, nachos, or pizza you’ve ever had.

And what would a pub be without beer?  We offer a wide range of draught and bottled beer, from the best local breweries all the way to the best England and Europe have to offer.  Our rotating selection of seasonal and specialty draughts means there will always be something new to try.

If you’re a soccer fan and don’t mind waking up a little early, Chatham Tap is the place to watch your favorite team whether it’s the
English Premier League, Champions League, World Cup, or European Championships.  You’ll find plenty of dedicated and knowledgeable fans ready to discuss last week’s results, next week’s matches, and everything in between.
