    Other than the pregnant bartender being a bitch. It was good Tiffany was more than helpful but really I understand being pregnant you have emotions but you are in the service industry. Curb your emotions don't be an asshole

    I was in Indianapolis on business and walked to Joe's from my hotel to watch the Super Bowl (they have a wall - sized screen! ) The teriyaki wings were really good. The drinks were generous and the bartender was friendly. The weekday specials look interesting. I'll definitely come back when I am in on this side of the city.

    COMFORTABLE PLACE, FRIENDLY STAFF Joe's is a longtime watering hole in the heart of Castleton, just west of I-69 on the southside of 82nd Street. It's a well-worn comfortable place from decades of regulars and travelers staying or shopping in the area. Some may say the place needs updating and cleaning. They're probably right. LOL Locally owned and operated, Joe's stays open later than the many national chains that pepper the 86th/82nd Street corridor. Cheers!

    Came here after the Carmel wine festival on a Saturday. There was a decent country cover band playing. I got fast service and ordered the specials since other yelpers warned of highly priced regular drinks. We got a grilled chicken sandwich with onion rings, a burger with tots and fried pickles. The burger was frozen but the chicken was delicious. The food prices were very reasonable and the service was great. I just moved to the Castleton area and will definitely be back! Four stars for being a fun and decent dive/sports bar.

    Love this place! D and Brian are my favorite bartenders! Food is always good! The best part of Joe's, is that everyone is welcome.

    Joe's Grille on East 82nd Street is my favorite bar! The staff is great at remembering who you are, your favorite drink, and even saving you a favorite spot at the bar! After just one time, you'll feel like youve been going there forever! Only takes a day to be considered a regular! The food is impressive, not your normal bar food. There's a wide variety which makes it a good choice for anyone! They even hold the kitchen open till 2am providing the full menu for the late night munchies! If you're a Sports Fan, there literally isn't one spot in house where you can't see a TV. They always have all major sporting events, and even the big screen comes down for the Thursday and Sunday Football Games! Lastly they even have live Entertainment! Thursdays and Saturdays host a rotating schedule of local bands that keep the crowds on their feet! I heard they're even opening a patio in the Spring! 5 stars on my end for sure! There are a lot of bars out there, and I would rather give my business to the local places such as Joes!

    This is a biker-friendly bar, but the crowd is eclectic - hipsters to rednecks to gangstas to yes, bikers... you will see it all. I've seen a couple bar fights break out here, but they've all been female catfights. You know that's entertaining. I agree with Jess that the selection of beer is not outstanding and the food takes too long, but it's a pretty comfortable atmosphere to sit around and drink your Coors Light. The food is above average for bar fare. D, the bartender with the dreaded-up mohawk and the "DIABLO" belt buckle (you can't miss him), is great and pours heavy if you're into that sort of thing. There's an open mike night on Wednesdays, which is hit-or-miss. If you go more than once, chances are you're going to hear the same songs played in the same rotation as the time before.

    I'm so sorry if this is your local watering hole. Unless you're drinking the nightly/weekly/monthly special, brews are not cheap. And not an impressive selection. They had 312 on tap, but it was $7.75 A PINT. Crazy! This place is your most basic, your most bland. The epitome of a suburban strip-mall bar. The bartender was nice. And the crowd was interesting. I'll give you that. But the music was HORRENDOUS. The food order (appetizer sampler platter) took half an hour, kid you not. And it was late and not busy. But don't mind me. I'm just an out-of-towner, passing through.

    This is the original of the Joe's chain in the Indy area. There are Joe's 2, Joe's 3, etc.; this is Joe's 1 so to speak and has been in business for about 16 years. I go to Joe's 1 on occasion only because a friend is a server. Friday at midnight, I ordered gyros and they were very small as were the fries...will order something else next time. Good beer selection. There are two bars (east and west separated by a wall) and therefore two bartenders, but on Friday my friend was the only server and she had to run from bar to bar and I'm sure people sitting at tables had to wait a bit...but she was great. When you enter the men's washroom the urinal is immediately after you walk in, in the path of the door, so LOCK THE DOOR; otherwise, someone is liable to slam the door into your side and I'm sure this has happened to many people, especially when they've had a bit much. Live music most weekends (one-man band was there Friday). Joe's is good and mellow and I can walk there from my work, but didn't this time because I went well after I got off.

    So I have been coming to joes commonly for a while now and I must say it has gotten even better and that is why I am updating my review. I tried the Hog Wings tonight and holy cow these things are amazing. They literally are ribs with the meat falling off the bone with a slight touch. I think they were the most expensive thing on the menu but it was still under 10 bucks. Last week I saw a new sandwich on the menu called the dagwood. I always had thought.the dagwood was just a big deli sandwich. Not this thing it's AMAZING! if you went to IU or PURDUE you may remember macris deli. They had a BRT. the dagwood at joes is basically the same thing. Turkey, Roast beef, bacon, cheese (not sure what kind) lettuce, Tomato & mayo. Absolutely delicious maybe even better than the ones I had in college. I highly recommend this for lunch or dinner I guess. They did have some awesome drink specials as well.and I meant to take a picture of them to put up here but I forgot. I do know Wednesday was $1 OFF al whiskeys. Overall the guests are all friendly and even asked people to sit with them around the fire pit on the patio. Pretty cool. Looking for a friendly laid back bar / grille I suggest trying this place out.

    It has become a sort of Friday night tradition that after the long work week I head out in search of a first-time dining experience. Tonight, I was actually headed over to that "Happy Chicken" place on East 82nd Street in a sort of hidden strip center. I parked the car and entered this "Happy Chicken" place and it just didn't give me the vibe I was looking for - so I left. I wheeled the length of the strip center and heard music coming from this place, Joe's Grille, and thought "Hey, this could work." Yeah, it worked. I was greeted with warm enthusiasm by Tiffany, a server who was nearing the end of her shift. Joe's had a small but energetic crowd and it seemed to be made up mostly by regulars as they seemed familiar with one another based upon the conversations. There are several widescreen televisions on the walls throughout the relatively small bar and grill. There are two rooms, one with a main bar that also includes a few tables. It looked like the other room had more recreational type activities, but I didn't go in the room and can't be certain. If you're asocial, and I lean that direction, then you may take some time to adjust to the Joe's Grille environment. It's a very tight design, though the aisle between the tables and the bar is wheelchair friendly as long as it's not packed. I could see problems easily developing when the place is busy. As I wasn't drinking, I found my way to a table and Tiffany took my drink order of unsweetened tea. I checked out their multi-page menu that was largely comprised of sandwiches, all of which come with fries, tater tots or one other side. They had other items, but their menu isn't online that I can find. Essentially, it's the usual bar food variety. I saw a breaded tenderloin and thought I might discover another Indy gem. So, I ordered the tenderloin with fries for a surprisingly low $6.95. The entire meal came in at slightly under $10. The Joe's Grille atmosphere is weird and I mean that in a good way. Tiffany and the server who followed her, name unknown, were both a delight. The bar was loud, at one point with the televisions then by music. The patrons were being patrons, loud and clearly having a good time. Have you ever been to a bar where there's that one guy you get the sense is trying o be the coolest guy in the room and he's just plain failing miserably? That guy was at Joe's last night. I'm guessing he was in his 50's. He was talking way louder than needed, having off-kilter "conversations" and bouncing around like that old guy who desperately doesn't want to let go of his younger days. He felt the need to punctuate his language with a periodic F-bomb. I'd have been irritated if it wasn't just an awkward combo of sad and funny. I got used to him. The breaded tenderloin was pretty clearly not a hand-breaded tenderloin and it's taste bordered on a slightly upscale fritter. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't what I was hoping for when I ordered it. The fries were crinkle-cut. They were likely frozen, but they were served up in a decent serving size and I enjoyed them. For the price point, I was still pretty happy. As I noted, Tiffany was great. She was friendly, helpful and seemed amused that I asked if I could linger after she cashed me out before the end of her shift. I could picture her brain going "It's a bar. Everyone lingers, stupid!" Fortunately, she was nice about it. I was handed off to another server and even got a refill from her despite having paid my bill. That was excellent. I ended up tipping both. Yeah, sometimes I'm not a cheapskate. I enjoyed my time at Joe's Grille, though I doubt it's a place I'll rush back to visit. The service was very good, while the food was pretty much your standard bar fare. I'm guessing if you go to Joe's with friends, you'll have a much better time. However, despite the chaotic atmosphere, I was able to sit at my table and enjoy some reading and didn't feel bothered or distracted. For the service alone, I'd place Joe's above average. While I'm not quite willing to go with a 4-star, it's easily a 3-star experience with good service and decent food at a good price.
