If this is local flavor, I need to visit more often! Wings were great, burger was awesome. Friendly service and good food at a fair price.

The smoked wings taste so good that they require no sauce and if you like really hot stuff ask for the race fuel sauce!! The specialty burgers are some of the best in Indy. This is a must try. Please try the pulled pork cadila!!! It is tasty, cheap, and huge. Since the renovation this can not be considered a dive bar anymore, it is a destination location.

Great food!!!

Bar has been remodeled and 100% different than a year ago! Fried mushrooms are the best ever. Tenderloin was good too!

So I got a thank-you for reviewing this place, which prompted me to look at the business again. They have gone through some major renovations & looks like they have invested a bit of money to overhaul the place. That being said, my poor review may not apply to the pub that is today. So if you believe in second chances, maybe give them a look. After all, isn't that what online reviews are for???

This is my favorite bar. All the food is awesome and Stacey has great specials every week. His wings are too die for!! Love all the staff as well. If your looking for great food and casual fun with friends this is it!

The wings and fried pickles are amazing. But you have to also try the peanut butter and jealousy burger. Crunchy peanut butter, jelly, coleslaw, siracha and bacon on a pretzel bun. A-mazing.

Went for a friends birthday party and as always there was a fight in there. On a Saturday night there was only 1 bartender, drinks were non existent as she was over worked, the food was horrible because it wasn't cooked all the way & it took 40 mins just to pay for dinner. I will not go back.

Best place on the westside for pub food and then some. They have Shrimp and Grits on special today and tomorrow. They also switch specials on a daily basis. But I'm telling you the best wings, burgers, frog legs, BBQ nachos...and can go one. Plus there's 12 beers on tap.

Stopped in for a burger after the state bowling tournament. Great atmosphere. Relaxed and low key. The food was amazing. Everyone loved their burgers, and the pulled pork was some of the best I've had. The only knock I had was the waitress forgot that we ordered a catfish appetizer, but the burgers were so big it didn't really matter. Highly recommend!

I am not one that goes to dive bars, but we were hungry and this place had good reviews for their food, so my friend and I were game. We walked into VERY LOUD music, people hollering at one another, there was a poker game going on, all in all everyone seemed to be drunk and happy. People seemed to one another and even the guys who said they knew no one there, within minutes were chatting away with people. THE FOOD Simply was GREAT. I had a BBQ burger, cooked perfectly, BBQ sauce along with fries were hot and very good. My friend had a breaded pork sandwich and he raved about it as well. Bartender was busy but stayed on top of everything. We were asked by another man that was likely the owner how the food was and told us that it does get loud in here. Overall it is a good place for great food, loud music, and the prices are great as well.

This much I know is true about Checkered Flag Tavern: the can and bottle beer is the coldest you'll find in the northern hemisphere, the locals that sit at the bar belch loudly, proudly and often, the women's room has a pair of toilets side by side with no dividing door or wall, and the food is so good you'll swear Paula freaking Deen and Bobby flipping Flay are 'working it' in the kitchen. Delicious fried frog legs? The best smoked hot wings that this hot wing diva has ever had? A burger that rivals my favorite Indy bar hamburger? Smoked ribs and pulled pork nachos that are WAY MORE BETTER-ER than places that specialize in BBQ fare? Yes, yes and yes. This place kills it.
(4)Bruce F.
What a great unexpected meal! If you are looking for a low key tavern that's serves not only inexpensive beer but also some of the best food you've ever had, this is the place. The staff is super friendly and the smoked prime rib is out of this world. Try the smoked wings.

If you haven't been here for a couple weeks the NEW parking lot behind bar is paved, fenced and nicely landscaped. It looks wonderful and provides desperately needed additional parking! MAJOR improvements for the area since abandon houses are never attractive and help no one's property value. Sad Mark wasn't allowed to doze down both abandon and trashed houses to clean up both lots. Maybe the city will jump on that. Talk of more renovations coming in near future. Patio seating is available inside fenced area for those who prefer . A Dive bar with a 4-5 star review means something is being done well here. Not just bar fly's crawling to the closest watering hole as I've heard said. The reviews speak for themselves. The food brings us back and affordable beverages are always a big plus. Daily food and drink specials. Nothing pretentious here and I enjoy the freedom of "wear whatever" dining. Another best of is Juke Box always played LOUD with a nice selection of music. Johnny Cash to Metal could be playing at any time so play on! Hot Wings are EXCELLENT and my personal favorites here while the BBQ (close 2nd), The Big Pig, and Rajun Cajun Chicken Sandwiches always delish. Perfectly cooked burgers, including the Bison Burger, are popular as well with men in my family. Fish on Fridays is a given! French Fries are skin on and cooked perfectly with the exception of past trip. Onion Ring order served with 4 large rings and 4/5 for taste but in my opinion overpriced. I try to satisfy this craving elsewhere that's just as scrumptious but with more rings and cheaper (Pit Stop BBQ). Mark, the owner, is super cool to talk with about different smoking woods being currently used. The man knows how to smoke meats! He's mentioned exploring some new menu options for specials and I've yet to hit the right day for those. Our servers are always great and a lot of fun. The crowd is a live and let live type of crowd with majority being regulars. I've run into folks who have driven quite a distance (over hour so far) to get their Checkered Flag fix. Few topics to highlight before first visit: 1) NO beer on tap so be forewarned; 2) Women's restroom has two stalls WITH a dividing wall but NO individual stall doors. The one door covering stall area does NOT latch and close. When the restroom door is opened body parts will be exposed to sightseers if you're sitting to far forward; 3) Its Indianapolis rules for bar smoking so NO smoking indoors or within 8 feet of the door. Yes confusing since bars couple miles away can smoke indoors. It is what it is. Don't fuss! 4) Motorcycles have marked parking spaces in front of bar so try to use as last resort and 5) Paper towels located on tables so dive in cause the food is GOOD.

This place is awesome. Perfect spot to wait for a delayed flight. Cold beer, great wings, clean and nice. Gotta stop here.
(5)Colleen B.
The food is excellent! I had the pulled pork sandwich,it was smoked pork and the BBQ sauce was the right amount of sweet and tangy. Jan was our bartender,great lady. It didn't hurt that I won $510 on pull tabs!

WHOA WHOA WHOA! You this spot is a daggum truth. First time I went was a anniversary party, they had a BBQ buffet with all the side you could think...food was sooooooo good. But it was packed and the clientele, to be honest, on that day was a bit frightening. Being shived, I thought was an option. But I got past it. I made my way back for lunch this week. Yeah it is amazing. I got the garlicy ranch smoked wings to split with my lunch partner. TOP NOTCH! Thanks for the tip Libbie V! The special of the day was the beef brisket burger. This is in house smoke brisket folded into ground beef, then made into a perfect 8 oz patty. Served with an onion ring on top with some mayo and BBQ sauce. $8 for that and fries. This burger was huge and one of the best I have had. With every bite you got a hint of the smoke from the brisket. There is no way that I will not make this a monthly lunch or dinner spot. The converted old Roselyn Bakery sign is as nostalgic as it can get in Indy as well. Don't go though because if you do the secret will be out of the bag and I won't be able to get a seat the next time.

A hole in the wall. Looks rough but the big pig sandwich was awesome. I would go back.

Pretty cool neighborhood bar which is most likely frequented by neighborhood locals. Others should definitely make the trip though. Its a typical dark dive bar vibe exactly as I expected and remembered from my only previous visit years ago. Bar tender said they had new owners. Drinks are cheap. Food is inexpensive and pretty damn good. The BBQ nachos were fantastic as were the ribs. Frog legs were nice too. We could smell the smoker smoking when we pulled up on our motorcycles (which we were told to move to the front of the bar so as to not get them stolen. Thanks for the tip, kind bar patron!). I'll be back for some Saturday afternoon beers and BBQ at some point for sure.
