Indy Insider #33

Happy Halloween week, Indy!

The leaves are falling, Pacers are back in business, and the scariest thing in town is Jonathon Taylor with open space ahead of him... But fear not—we’ve got live music, cozy eats, adoptable pets, and plenty of events to keep your calendar full.

Let’s get spooky

Mass Ave’s newest hangout, Tie Breakers, just took over the old MacNiven’s spot and turned it into a full-on sports lover’s playground. Think wall-to-wall TVs, cold beer that arrives faster than your fantasy team can disappoint you, and a menu that somehow features both fried ribs and gator bites. It’s loud, it’s lively, and it’s exactly where you’ll end up “just staying for one more” when the game goes into overtime.

Hangar Indy

If you’re looking for more than just “go to the bar”, Hangar Indy is that sort of place—with giant screens, indoor golf simulators, DIY pizza & craft-classes, and a full bar to match.

Bonus: on game-days for the Colts this place transforms into a full-on tailgate zone with 15-foot screens, game audio, and street-block energy all the way to gametime.

Meet Alex, a 6 month old terrier/pit bull mix who’s looking for a best friend, Barley, a 4 year old mix who can be shy at first but warms up quickly, and Asher, a 2 month old cat who will perch anywhere high after getting her energy out.

Ready for all the best events Indy has to offer? Let’s get into it.
