Coaches Tavern

food was bar food. nothing bad, nothing good to say/ the almost famous chicken strip were hot and fresh and seemed almost homemade. but they were just ok, had the mega nachos too and they were borderline terrible. but the place is cool, music was good. its a small place, chill. close to the fieldhouse.

You can't find a better a burger downtown IMHO.  Great Pacers hangout.

We stopped in to watch some football.  Surprisingly it wasn't as packed as I thought it would be and we were able to find a table at the bar.  I thought the place was cute.  It's small, sporty, but not cheesy, clean, friendly, and they had really good food.  I got the tenderloin and the onion straws and totally devoured every bite.  Both the tenderloin and onion straws were crispy, not too greasy, and the tenderloin was just how I liked it; juicy and not pounded out thin like a frisbee.  We didn't get the wings, but I could see and smell them from the next table over and they smelled amazing.  
Towards the end of the game I did see some of the douchery that has been documented in other reviews, but I think for the most part we lucked out during our trip and I would definitely go back.
