"🥃 Review: A Swanky New Spot with Potential The Indy Vault Speakeasy is a compelling new addition to the city's nightlife, successfully capturing the clandestine spirit of the 1920s right from the moment you arrive. 🚪 Atmosphere & Vibe The speakeasy experience starts immediately with a fun, unique entry system: you must enter a code to get past the main door, which is a great touch that immediately sets the mood. Inside, the space is nicely divided, featuring a lively bar area on one side and a more intimate small dining area on the other. While the seating—specifically the booths—was a little unsettled, the overall atmosphere is cool and engaging. 🍸 Drinks The cocktail experience was a tale of two drinks. • My first Old Fashioned was excellent, perfectly mixed and highly enjoyable. • However, the second fell short, noticeably missing the signature cherry, which impacted the overall balance. • Rene, loved her cocktail—a very fruity concoction—and would absolutely order it again. 🍔 Food Highlights We sampled a few items, finding both hits and misses: • The Sticky Korean Wings were fantastic! They are on the spicy side and delicious—I had no idea what to expect, but I'm glad I ordered them for the table. • I ordered the Dillinger Smashburger and it was a great burger overall, served with Parm Palm Fritz. Heads up, I ordered it "done," and it still came out very pink, so thankfully I'm not picky! • Rene's Bootlegger BLT was the low point; she found the bacon to be overcooked and difficult to chew. 🌟 Service & Final Thoughts The service, while starting off well, hit a minor snag near the end of our visit. To their credit, the staff acknowledged the issue and "made it right." The Bottom Line: The Indy Vault is a cool spot with a truly engaging atmosphere and the potential to be a destination for great food and cocktails. The unique entry, excellent first drink, and fantastic wings show what they can do best. While there are a few kinks to iron out (consistency in cocktails, food preparation, and service flow), the commitment to fixing issues means I will definitely be back!"

"We were excited to try this place. The code was easy to get to gain access. We found out that the place was under new management, so they were still getting things the way they wanted it. Sadly, there is another entrance in case you didn't want to take part in the crack the code theme. They are still working on getting the signs up so you know where to go. The staff was extremely friendly. They were lacking some items on their menu. So, hopefully, they get that all sorted out. But it's definitely worth a stop in."

"The service was fast and friendly. The atmosphere was dim and relaxing. The Bootlegger BLT was AMAZING, though! The frites were good with their Vault sauce. Even when they became cold. Now, onto the dessert. The Heist Brownie I would never order it the way it came. It looks good but it's overly sweet, has too many chocolate chips, difficulty tasting the caramel, and no brownie (or at least in the traditional way of thinking of a brownie). It was creamy. No solid brownie in the dish. It was more like brownie batter with chocolate chips and chocolate sauce."

"Our go-to spot for an old fashioned or nice pour of whiskey is now going to be our neighborhood go-to for a a delicious, quick bite. Burgers were great, really appreciated the vegetarian option for my partner. Fries were incredible, great blend of fresh herbs and grated cheese. Can’t wait to try more of the menu. Thanks, Erica!"

"We were so excited to try this spot, but underwhelming is a generous review. The bar tender, who stood talking to the few bar guests, indicated it would be 30 minutes before getting a cocktail. Then the server reiterated the message again after the bartender told her in front of guests it would be 30 minutes and she needed to inform the guests. We watched the bartener move at a sloth pace to make drinks. Do not go to this speak easy on a Saturday night if you to get a drink in less than an hour. Additional the vibes were very off (wrong music, dust collected around the decore, and subpar food). We had only appetizers and NO DRINKS!"
