I cannot believe I don't have a review of this place yet! Â I have eaten here more than a dozen times since moving to Indy. Â It is one my favorite lunch spots and although I'm a mom, I also LOVE that it is an adults only establishment even during the day. Â My faves are the steak fries and salads. Â But last Saturday night I went for a fun night out with my girls and was shocked and awed by the amazingness that is Saturday nights at Daddy's. Â
If you are a Cougar on the prowl, do not pass go, do not collect $200, go straight to Daddy's b/c ....well, the high rollers are out for a night on the town fo 'sho!
If you are just a casual normal person, go for the band (which was awesome!) and the Cougar-watching. Â Who doesn't want to see leopard-printed halter tops on fake breasted 50 year olds?? And who doesn't want to get hit on by a Russian man who is just "zooking for a gilfrind".
If you are looking for a good sushi roll, HOLY COW, don't forget to ask for the Kona Jack menu, b/c you do NOT want to miss out on filling your table full of oversized, fresh crab and salmon rolls. Â I am fairly a novice to sushi but I must say the dragon roll was by far the best roll I have EVER had ever. So so so so good. I have been thinking about this roll since we left last Saturday! Â OMG.
Other good items! Â My sister in law indulged on the aphrodisiac infused mussels, I partied it up with the shrimp cocktail which was NOT spicy at all (but delish!) and I had a small salad which was fresh and good but nothing fancy. Â
The entertainment was wonderful, the restaurant not too crowded (though we did have a reservation) and the staff was impeccable and friendly. The bill wasn't bad at all even with a few drinks tagged on and for a girls' night out that isn't all Broadripple and tank tops, it was a great way to spend a fun evening out on the town.
I would say if you are under 25, this might not be your scene but for us 30somethings, it was a perfect mix of fun and upbeat without being loud and annoying - and of course, we took notice of the furs and animal print and know how to better prepare ourselves for our next trip!
Two coworkers and I decided to have our work meeting at Daddy Jacks. Our boss said the food was great and I was excited to try a new place. We each ordered a drink, mine came out wrong. We ordered dinner (Bleu Cheeseburger no pickles), came out with 4 pickles on the burger and one on the side. My coworker ordered a sandwich no onions, waitress said she 'accidently' told them extra onions and when the sandwich came out it was obvious they just picked the onions off. We had 4 different checks in 4 different credit card holders and she managed to run every credit card on the wrong check. How is that even possible??? My $4 drink became a $56 check and I am still waiting for it to be reversed. The food is not good enough to battle the awful service we had. Do not go here. Note to the staff: If you cannot remember orders, write them down! No one will fault you for not remembering entire orders.
Review Source:Apres Jack's is a bar within a bar. Â Enter Daddy Jack's and walk past the main bar and take a hard left. Â Go through another door and voila! Apres Jack's!
It has a totally different vibe. Â More laid back, more comfortable tables and chairs, and more hip bartenders. Â In reality, they are the same bartenders, but they seem cooler because the atmosphere rubs off on them when they're working Apres instead of the main bar. Â
Beer selection is more like 2.5 stars, but if you want a domestic or, even better, a glass of whiskey, Apres will do it as well as any other joint.
The food is also 2.5-3 stars, although I've only had appetizers and sandwiches. Â The crowd tends to be 40-60ish, and they seem to enjoy the seafood and steak dinners. Â
Live music a couple nights a week.
Very cool place to go after work for some drinks and appetizers.
They have a very nice old "cigar room" in the back with some classy decor and an overall great feeling. Obviously they do not use it as a cigar room anymore but its great for a quieter atmosphere. They also had some live music around 8PM on a Wednesday which added a great touch. The waiters were very attentive and approachable.
For what its worth they also got me some ice for my knee (injured it earlier that day) which was pretty great. Come here for some great drinks and a good time!
Daddy Jacks's is one of Indy's favorite old-school establishments, catering to a long list of regulars that consist of mostly northsiders. Area business people flock there for lunch, and dinners are usually pretty busy, too. The bar is great, and the bartenders have all worked there for a long time.
I know several of the people on the staff and it's definitely a tight group that provides great service. The burgers, a gigantic 10 oz slab of ground beef, are excellent, and I would highly recommend the black and blue burger, and would recommend a subsequent visit to the gym the next day!
Located on north Meridian near 96th street, Daddy's is located next to its sister establishments, Kona Jack's and Apres Jack's. Great for watching games. Closed on Sundays.
