I've been commenting on the relative merits of various bars and restaurants in Indy for so long and at such great length that a number of folks told me I need to become a food & dining critic. Being easily suggestible and not able to recognize sarcasm when I hear it, I have developed this little journal of adventure drinking & eating in Indy, primarily on the South Side. So if you're bored, enjoy!

The Blind Pig - A Decent Greenwood Dive
The Blind Pig, on Madison just north of Main Street in Old Towne Greenwood, is kind of grungy and ancient-looking when you first walk in the place, that is if you found an open parking space in the tiny little lot next to the front door (there is another lot and another entrance in the back, off the alley, but you have to search for it). It looks as if long ago three small storefronts were combined to make one good-sized tavern: The long, long bar is sort of u-shaped, running from the kitchen in the back down to the front, then turning and passing through a big doorway in the wall, then turning back toward the kitchen again. There must be 30 stools all around it, and there are a lot of tables, a music stage, pool table, and several arcade games in there as well. The new owner (son of the old owner, who passed away) hasn't changed anything, but he seems like a nice guy, and the bar staff is fairly friendly, too. I know they have the usual pub grub, but I've never eaten there. Drink and food prices are reasonable. This ain't the kind of place I'd take a first date, for sure, and it's not my favorite, but there is something comfortable about it that I can't put my finger on.... Drink up, unless you're parked next to MY car in the little lot!
