Ike & Jonesy’s

This is my favorite lunch spot! They have a variety of great options (my favorite is the Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap) and the prices are very affordable. Plus the inside is a music lovers dream! Tables are made out of old pinball machines, records adorn the walls, and there are disco balls hanging from the ceiling.

Well this is your more «classic“pub in town. I would say your clientele is at least 40 and up which in nothing wrong w that since I am creeping up on that age this bar just reminded me of that. I agree w the other reviews on the bouncers, they wanted no part of my conversation. The waitress was nice but short w us which I guess I understand because it was packed.
I was over the men in the bar specifically older ones that were just being creepy and could not take no for an answer. When you are just trying to get through tithe bathroom several make it very difficult and uncomfortable for you.
This bar played 90’s dance music most the night and a stripper made an appearance for a girls 21^st bday party. Yep a male stripper that got down and dirty, so that was interesting.
A small fight broke out too which I think every cop in Indy came for which was a bit over the top.
My one drink was $ 7.50 which is insane.

2 stars is being generous, but wouldn’t recommend this place if you’re looking for anything classy. I was invited to go here and didn’t know what to expect, except that they had $ 1 beers on Thursday.
The servers weren’t the greatest and the people that were around looked like regulars…
This ambiance was not my cup of tea. Doubt I’ll return again. The only reason why I gave it two stars was because the band playing the specific Thursday night was great!

We were here at the same time as the st. Patty pub crawl and the service was still excellent. We didn’t have to wait long on drinks or food. Our server was personable even though she was extremely busy. Glad to stopped here for a beer!

Been going to Ike’s for 30 years and always have a great time. They aren’t joking that it’s «the fun place downtown». Great lunch too!

Went with a local meetup group for our Christmas party Friday night and while I had fun with my friends, the evening came to a sad conclusion when I was charged $ 7.50 for a well drink! When I questioned the bartender she said there is a $ 2.50 upcharge for «tall» drinks!!! WTH? $ 2.50 for 4 extra ounces of soda? It would have been nice of the waitress to inform me of the upcharge when I ordered my drink tall so I could have gone another direction. Guess all they want in this bar are drunk people instead of those who try to drink responsibly. Needless to say I will NEVER go back so hopefully our group finds another place for the party next year.

This review is going to be rough, so buckle up…
This place was filled with clientele that were both downright filthy,
but also friendly. My friend said «there should be a word for these
kinds of people» I explained there was a word to describe people who
were friendly and filthy:“Deadhead” One Deadhead got a little bit to
friendly with me.
He called me over and said, «Hey, can you bring over some
’candy?’» Candy must have been a codeword for something very
different. When I asked what kind of candy, He said «Addy» I met this
request with uncomfortable chuckles. Another bright eyed girl asked me
if I was on «Snap» I have never even heard of that drug WTF!
Another daunting gentleman cornered me in the wash room. While washing
my hands he asked me what I was doing tomorrow. I responded with «I
think my father and I are going to get an early jump on some bass.» He
reached into his pocket and opened up his cell phone. He then shoved
the screen in my face displaying a picture of himself with his shirt
off pointing a Nighthawk Custom 10 – 8 combat pistol at the screen. He
shouted «This is my fishing pole city boy!» I was scared for my life.

You can’t go wrong if you’re downtown Indy and want to grab a drink and some pretty good food. We were in town and decided to try the bar because it was close to the hotel. We were able to find seats at the bar, drinks were delivered in no time, and our food was surprisingly good. I don’t usually expect much from bar food, but I have to say it was very tasty — best burger I’ve had in awhile. The staff was busy but they found time to chat for a minute about other things to do and see while in Indy. Can’t give it enough praise. We will definitely return!

I’ve never eaten here. But it’s a great place to go and dance late at night. Just fun.

This place gets my mushroom stamp of disapproval. What an absolute Sh! thole of an establishment. Upon entering, I am «greeted» by two bouncers attempting to compensate for their small dicks by being incredibly big ones.
After placing an order at the bar, I quickly learned that dickheadery ran rampant among the staff. Some dike-​looking woman was the worst, and I suppose it was because she’s just mad at God for making her incredibly ugly and her in-​bred parents for never loving her.
Just when I thought I couldn’t hate these people any more, I walk outside and am confronted by a patron because I walked in front of him while he was talking to two disgusting women. I guess he thought I was throwing off his nonexistent game, but as far as I was concerned I was doing him a favor if I kept him from nutting with either of those hags. Him cutting me off walking over to my friends turned into a few words back and forth. Not long after, the aforementioned small-​membered bouncers came out and commenced to throw me out of the bar because I «shouldn’t talk to his bartender that way». Oh, so this guy works in this hellhole as well… ahhh, it all makes perfect sense now.
If you enjoy being berated, horrible people, and a dirty bar, Ike and Jonesy’s is your spot.

Trashiest bar in town. Our waitress was smoking a cigarette as she took our order. Wut.

Place was packed this week with the conventions in town. It took us a while to get in, and we didn’t stay too long because there really wasn’t anywhere to sit, or stand for that matter. Employees screamed at people a lot to «get the f out of the way».

I had a great time! We’re there with a group and was hard to get a table but that’s to be expected! Love the layout and the old-​school music! It did seen like the cougar hangout though! However I had heard that to be the case but the competition won’t keep this cat away!

Wandered in on a Saturday night after seeing a woman have a seizure outside the tiki club. Better choice anyway. The bar staff are pros. They smiled while they made drinks and kept track of our tab despite the fact that they were really busy. The dancing is hip hop. I remember when BIG played Indy so that was fun. My hubby and I danced for two hours! It’s a be who you are kind if place with a Midwest urban tempo.

If you don’t go for the 25 cent beers on Thursday then go for the exceptional people-​watching!

I upgraded Ike and Jonesys from 3 to 4 stars because of the good service. Everyone at the table was impressed by our waitress.
My patty melt and fries were both good. They have crinkle cut fries which (for me) is a positive. I love the way they hold on to ketchup. The patty melt was about what you expect an average patty melt to be. Unfortunately my wife’s hamburger wasn’t quite up to par. It was dry and life less and reminded me a lot of an over cooked GFS burger.
The décor is 1950’s style almost like a darker Happy Days.

Food isn’t very good (my group got a salad, burger, and chicken). Nothing was memorable or even tasty, I wont eat there again.
However, their staff was friendly, it was a cool atmosphere, and their bar at night is a blast! Old school music mixed with today’s top hits, soo much fun.

I’ve been a few times-​and it’s weird, because the people always look the same! There is actually quite a diverse crowd here. It tends to lean toward being an older crowd than I normally like.
It is always crowded when I’ve been there. I feel like the layout needs an overhaul or something. However, they play good music. It was a really good 80s-​90s dance mix, and there were plenty of people dancing! Drinks are okay. I see they have a $ 0.25 beer night, but I don’t know when that is.

So you know what you’re getting yourself into going to any establishment that offers 25c beers once a week — or at least you should.
Ike & Jonesy’s is an open-​late, cheap drinks, and bad decisions sort of place. It’s the sort of place that’s filled with questionable characters and business travelers, and often times people who fall into both categories. The spot where on my last night there, a fairly normal, older, upstanding and rather ordinary looking sort of man still in work khakis presumably straight from the convention center got drunk, jumped over the bar, and was promptly arrested.
Not bad for a Tuesday. Well, again, you should know the sort of place you’re headed into the second you walk into in considering the décor and the clientele.

This place is right across the street from the Omni Hotel I am staying at for a few days on a biz trip. I needed to get a quick lunch after checking in and before heading to the convention center. What drew me in was the huge Marilyn Monroe caricature outside the building the restaurant is located in. I love kitschy places so I decided to give it a shot.
Walking in I was like «wow»! This is super kitschy! It’s a 50’s nostalgia diner. Like Al’s from Happy Days. There are signs, memorabilia, pictures, lights, furntiture, and retro throwback stuff from the 50’s-80’s in every nook and cranny of this place including the ceiling. Doo-​wop to classic rock was playing. Even the booth tables are made from old pinball machines! Way cool. They even have a DJ booth and small dance floor with disco lighting. At any minute I expected The Fonz to walk in and go «AYYYYYY»!
I took a booth and looked over the menu that the waitress handed me. It’s basically a middle America diner type of menu with many of the selections having funny names and sayings as if trying to be extra cool and cute. Service was ok and attentive enough. I ended up getting a bbq grilled chicken dinner plate that came with a soup and salad for only $ 12.95 which was passable. A fountain soda with refills was only $ 1. A decent deal overall and the food was ok.
They have a full bar here with a limited selection of beers on tap that are mainly domestics. On football Sundays they offer a 24 ounce beer special for $ 3.50. Seems like such a cool looking place with a kitshy nitch atmosphere.
Still, I felt a little weirdness here, as it had a kind of strange older cougar crowd hovering about in the booths and tables around me. Lots of middle aged women near me kept talking about David Beckham and other male athletes and actors and what they would do with them. Out loud. Many of the guys up around the bar were in my dad’s age category. And this was all during mid afternoon during lunch hour. I passed by last night and the place was not that busy except for a few older folk as the type I encountered. I guess if you are a cougar on the prowl, or a younger dude who goes for that kind of fun then this place is for you. That, or if you are a chick with daddy issues.
There are so many happening bars and restaurants in the area that it’s easy to pass this one by, but it’s worth a look if you want to take a glimpse at a bygone era.
Tell them Lenny & Squiggy sent ya!
