Dorman Street

Cozy, cool dive bar. Drink prices are fair, and bartenders know their stuff. I've never tried any of their food here, but both times I've been here the service has been great! Nice outdoor patio area, pool table, and a juke box (which could use some upgrades on music options). Will definitely be back!

Bartender was very cool and had great knowledge of the products!

Great local bar with a fun atmosphere! Drinks are all pretty good! The combo meals are the best

1st time visit on a Sunday evening....
What's there to say about an old bar in a tight-fit cottage neighborhood in the shadow of the interstates cutting through the city?
The service was warm and welcoming when we entered. Sharon invited us to take a seat at the bar.
Drinks were priced per usual off of the tap.
From the bar we spotted the single pool table, so we approached to play since it was open and the crowd was light. We caught sight of the dart machine and our attention was diverted for a couple of games of Cricket/200.
The crowd in the bar grew as we played. A group of 3 guys taking on the pool table shortly after we finished our first game of darts. We shared some floor space at the end of the table, easy enough to accommodate.
Offering a few 6+ top tables along with the smaller tables, it was easy for individuals and groups to find a place to sit.
The patio was quite larger than expected. It was nice to sit and talk while the city sang its song in the background. A large collared Tabby hopped down from the fence to meet us at our table, or rather its table. A simply beautiful cool Sunday October evening!
We will most likely visit again.

Right at the end of the block, this place is one of the rare gems that doesn't seem like it shines until you put it under light. The mac and cheese is the stuff of legends. The bartenders are in tune with the community and what's going on in town, and make great conversation. They've got a pool table that WORKS and a back patio with plenty of tables and chairs. There is also a cat sometimes. Making friends at a place like this is easier than it is hard, and for that and a few other reasons, makes this a very special place.

Great indoor and outdoor seating and a friendly at staff. Very close to downtown and Mass Ave. but yet in a quiet spot tucked away from the busy areas. Weekly and daily specials are fantastic.

One of the better dive bars in the area. Note, dive bar. Nothing fancy. Good craft beer selection and outdoor seating - normally a decent amount of smokers on the patio. Spinach dip and mac n cheese are good when you're drinking. There's an older style jukebox (cds) and a pool table as well. The later it gets, the busier it is here (normally). Expect to get carded at the door regardless of your age.

Dorman street is my go to dive bar. Has an AWESOME juke box so be sure to bring some dollar bills. They'll exchange smaller bills at the bar. Good drinks and friendly staff. Service can be a bit slow sometimes but that's a dive bar for you! They also have darts, billiards, and a cozy patio with a fire place when it's chilly. CHILLY, NOT COLD

Cool hole-in-the wall place. Patrons and staff are cool and friendly.
Reasonable prices, decent alcohol selection, and competent bartenders (one can ask for any drink, and it'll be made perfectly).
10/10 dive bar rating.

We came here to play billiards and darts with a couple of friends. The ambiance was nice, it wasn't too crowded, and it was only one quarter to play a game of pool! Not bad. The drinks were pretty decent as well.

The drinks, the vibe, the people, all amazing. A true treasure!
When you're there, actually take a minute to look at their selection. The bartenders know their stuff and have good brands you dont see everywhere.

A nearly perfect "Local". Clean and safe. Killer mural of RC Cola on the outside. Great no-nonsense staff. It's everything you need. I really grooved on the vibe. Was happy to discover it's a woman-owned business. Excited to go back when I'm back in Indy.

This place is a must for a good drink the bartender is down right amazing. Came in today 2/19 at 3pm and got a beer and long Island talk for a bit had a great time overall loved it will forsure make this a spot. Must go.

Best local dive bar! I live in the neighborhood and I hit this place up at least twice a week. Great staff, great drinks and food! Couldn’t ask for me. Billiards is also only 25¢ and the jukebox is filled with classics. 10/10 will be here until I move away from the city

Our favorite dive bar in Indianapolis! Very warm and welcoming filled with wonderful regular patrons.

Very affordable drinks and Kat makes one of the best Old Fashions that I have had in Indy.

Kat and Haleigh provide great service and they also have a jukebox with great music selections.

Great little dive bar. Would recommend.

Let's talk about dive bars and how wonderful they are. What they lack in decor and amenities they make up for in limited menus and quirky employees. Dorman Street does not disappoint. A great place to relax, get together with friends, and not worry about what you say or how you look.

A great neighborhood bar, even if you don't live in the neighborhood. I'm there usually twice a week. The bartenders get to know you and give great service. The beer is cold, the cocktails are great whether you are having a classic or something completely new. Don't expect frills and don't expect hype. This is just a great watering hole!

Great local tavern. Bartender was engaging. Mixed crowd from the surrounding neighborhood. Felt comfortable even though I was just visiting. Didn't sample food, saw several dishes and didn't hear any complaints. This is not a restaurant. Good selection of Beers, Ciders and alcohol.

Easily my go-to bar. The staff is nice, helpful, and respectful. Parking is never an issue, the drinks are reasonably priced, and I never feel unsafe. People are pretty friendly but they'll leave you alone if you're not up for chatting.

I live 25 minutes away in Zionsville but my boyfriend and I keep returning to this bar. We call it our "home bar" as it is the only one we've been to twice and we are always comfortable and happy to hang out.
