So on Saturday afternoon we'd helped clean up our niece's new house in Fishers in preparation for their move-in and were extreeemely thirsty, punched "bars & nightclubs" into the GPS and came up with the Britton Tavern at 141st Street and State Road 37 in (yep) a strip mall. This establishment is rather big, generally clean, and kind of generic, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. What hit me first about the place was its really good sound system, with the rock muzak playing very rich with bass notes and sound emanating from what seemed to be many, many speakers. They publish a new glossy menu each month with the bands scheduled to play there (I recognized the names of several popular Indy-area bar bands), along with the drink and food specials. Classy, I tell ya!
It was a beautiful day, so we sat in the small outdoor seating area and took in the sunshine and the traffic noise from SR37.... The bartender was friendly without being obsequious, the service was good, and the draft beer was really cold, a real plus at any bar. The only (slight) drawback was that our 64 oz. pitcher of Dos Equis Amber was $16, which is only 4 bucks a pint, not terrible for import draft at a bar, but it hurt a little bit after having paid only $6 for the same size pitcher of Pacifico at Bojack's in Franklin the Saturday before. Still and all, I would go here again, I think. Slainte!
