Signatures · checked 2026-09-03
Indianapolis happy hour runs on two tracks: a downtown steakhouse discount and a neighborhood bar ticket. The Mile Square gives you $5-off lists and $12 named cocktails. Mass Ave, Broad Ripple, and Fountain Square give you $2 and $3 pours. These are the signature sips and bites the venues themselves print on their own pages — with prices only where the bar published them.
