What can I say...I was not expecting to find Vegan/Vegetarian options on a Sunday night at Midnight... thanks to a dismissive attitude from a local pizza joint..I googled Vegetarian near me..and low and behold...The Sinking Ship appears... their menu immediately grabbed my attention... I arrived to a courteous environment..great Beer selection...awesome music... my food was awesome!! And I will definitely be back when I visit my parents in Indy again...

I absolutely love this place. The food and the people are awesome! It’s the only place I actually care about the reopening of, and I can’t wait until it actually does reopen!!

I visited this bar on a whim while traveling through the area. What a great find! Food was great, drinks were decently priced, and service was fantastic. So...I went out of my way...about a 45 minute drive to take some friends to eat here again. I would love to come on a Friday night to see what it is like then. I will be back. Great little place you got there!

Hearing this was one of the most celebrated vegan food joints in Indianapolis, I could not wait to try this place out. I was really excited to bring my husband because he’s a huge beer fan, and the bar and beer menu are damn good. Service was outstanding. Ambiance and decor, super awesome, quirky, bold and eclectic. Love the patio on the back. Love the whole vibe. And the vegan food was very satisfying bar food. Huge portions! We are Milwaukee native and super bummed that we don’t live nearby. It will be a must stop every visit from now on!

It’s been wayyyyyy too long WHEN are y’all going to open back up.

Really good burgers, good beer, great atmosphere. nothing not to love about this place

Very cool place. It can get loud on a Friday night but its very chill during the day. The food and drinks are all great! Vegan options are amazing!

Great little bar with good food and an amazing beer selection. We at at the bar and the service was excellent. They have a bunch of TVs for your viewing pleasure. There are also pinball machines and what looked like some board games next to the door. Beer stickers and signs everywhere. If I ever return to Indianapolis Ill definitely be stopping in here again. Almost forgot, they have a lot of vegan options.

Good concept. Decent small menus . I didn’t find much selection that was “out of the box”... vegan nacho cheese was good. Their vegan ranch for my side salad was tasteless and basically tasted like pure real mayo (nasty). Mac and cheese is very small for a meal. Didn’t like the jack fruit (basically a tiny bit of jack fruit mixed with a load of sweet onion). BF enjoyed his burger - very large and filling . I’m not into the atmosphere at all... dark and grungy, not necessarily what I would call “inviting and pleasant” ... not my style but great place for those that are into it I guess. Pinball machines were nice. A bit on the pricey side for the little you get (for anything that isn’t a burger). Overall very under-impressed.Waitress was a little everywhere for us. Probably just an off day.

Great service, and so many awesome vegan options. Maybe almost too many. Definitely ordered way too much food!

Was actually pretty good - definitely an alternative atmosphere, and definitely felt more bar than restaurant. Nothing wrong with that though, because the food was excellent. Vegan options as well. I think we will be coming back soon

I cannot say enough amazing things about this establishment. The food is amazing, the concept is brilliant, and the decor was fascinating to look at! The vegan pickle fries literally blew my mind and I crave them all the time! The vegan menu was amazing, not extensive instead of just a few options! I would definitely be a regular if I lived closer!

The mix of vegan and carnivore options is well played.. and the spread of pinball machines adds an element of fun. The food is good and the prices arent bad, but Im subtracting a star for the seriously light pour on each of the two whiskeys I ordered. It would cost $100 to get drunk here

I love The Sinking Ship!! The menu is delicious, the staff is wonderful, and the vibe is always really welcoming. Every single time I go here, I leave happy.

First time eating here. We will definately be back. The wings were great, my wife enjoyed the seitan wings and the Caribbean sauce was awesome. Beers were on point!! A+ service, everyone was friendly and prompt with service. Music was great too, enjoyed some old school punks rock

This is the best place ! I love everything on the vegan menu ! One of the best weve had and we travel all over the US! Really nice people great atmosphere and the best food!

I really enjoy all the community events I get to go to at The Sinking Ship! They have a great menu with a variety of drinks and eats and my friend loves the pinball machines. A fun night out every night out here!

Amazing! Love the theme of the menu where they offer a meat based option and a vegan option of each item. The vibe in there is also really cool. I think if I lived in Indy, this would definitely be a regular spot for me.

I was delighted with this eatery/bar for lunch. The beer selection was full of options. My favorite thing was the menu which was creatively split into Vegan/Meat eating. My Vegan companion enjoyed the meal. We both loved the decor-especially the pinball machines. I will definitely be back and would recommend this So-Bro experience to others.

Always a great experience. The atmosphere is really chill during the day, and its a fun night out as well. As a wannabe pinball wizard, I appreciate the 9 to 11 pins they keep in rotation. Recent add is Stranger Things. Havent even mentioned the food yet, and thats the best part. They have both Omniverous and vegan menus.

The Sinking Ship is my favorite dive bar. The food is bar food but well above average, perhaps even elevated. I had the chili dogs and they were fantastic. They have all the drinks you could hope for, a wide selection of beers, including locals. More importantly they have cider. But most importantly; you can always find hockey on the bar TVs during hockey season.

Always awesome food, great service (if youre not a pretentious jerk), and a perfect atmosphere. One of the only places where one can go and expect to see a real sport like hockey on the screen and rest assured that no party buses will be stopping in. The food caters to all crowds, but the vegetarian fare is truly awesome... get the seitan wings with Korean BBQ sauce, you will not be disappointed.

Always a treat coming here! Friendly staff, good food, good music, and awesome decor. I love their menu and its vegan and meat-eater friendly! The food is always delicious and theres always good beer available! If you havent stopped in yet, DO IT!Give the seitan wings a try with the Korean barbeque sauce while youre there!

Its like a grungy punk bar from the 80s, but clean & with good food. Seems like it would probably be a lot of fun on a Friday night with friends. But, my husband and I went on a Thursday at 6pm. It was relatively quiet & not very crowded. I got the Buff Cobb salad. It was nice: shredded buffalo chicken, hard boiled egg, avocado, blue cheese, tomato, onion (cut really too thick), & I think maybe some bacon? I found myself wishing it had croutons. The ranch seemed house made; I found it to be a little on the thick side but tasty. My husband got the pulled pork sandwich which we both thought was kind of run of the mill. It came with potato chips which were really good; kind of like a very tight, tiny waffle cut & dusted with what seemed to be a combo of bbq, sour cream, & cheddar. We also got the country mac which had smoked sausage & bbq sauce. It was pretty good. I loved their noodles; large, thick elbow. Their sauce was pretty saucy but not super cheesy. There was a piece of cheese baked over the top but I think it would be better if it were mixed in with the sauce. I was not crazy about the bbq sauce either (but bbq sauce preferences are completely personal).

We came here this evening to celebrate our anniversary. Like always the food was Amazing!!! For appetizer, fried pickles with vegan ranch was flameeeee. Vegan chili dogs, Cajun vegan burger and vegan mac & Cheese were all good.....

I wanted to like the Sinking Ship. It had a fun biker bar vibe and my date was vegan so whats not to like? Draft beer selection was decent. Bottled beer even better. Im not from the area so I had the rare occurance where I hadnt tried a lot of them. The bartender said they I couldnt do a sample before deciding. Cant say Ive heard that from a bar but whatever, not an unreasonable policy. For food, we the wings, pineapple express black bean burger w/ fries, and seitan gyro wrap. The wings were really good with Korean BBQ sauce. Burger and wrap were honestly kinda dry. I was surprised that somewhere specializing in vegan food had such a disappointing meatless burger.I was there in March and came in during one of the final four basketball games. I was surprised it wasnt on one of the many TVs in place of the old hockey games they had on, so I politely asked the bartender to put it on for the second half. The bartender said they didnt play basketball in this bar. I made the mistake of asking why and she said only hockey was allowed. Rules are rules...until some old WWE match showed up on one TV. Then, not a half hour later she changed another TV to Mrs. Doubtfire. Yes, the 1994 hit movie showing Robin Williams in drag (see pic below). Its a great movie but not for a Friday night at a bar. I asked around and other people around me wanted to see the overtime basketball game as well, but we just got more fake clotheslines and custody violation movies.The owner did some dirty trivia later in the evening, which was fun and partially redeeming. Still, the weird & inconsistent policies and ok food didnt sit well with me. Wasnt impressed but might different on another day.

Super cool place. Serving both vegan & meat. Really unique atmosphere! Recommend it if you are with a party with a vegan. I didnt care for my main meal too much, but the fried pickles were on point.

Came here to play pinball with my dad for my birthday. First time here and I already love this place. Great atmosphere, classic rock playing overhead, horror movies playing on the big screen, lots of pinball machines, craft beers, very flavorful food and vegan foods! Im not vegan, but that was some very tasty food. You wont see everything the first time you visit, theres just too many little details. People who dont take themselves too seriously will love this place. Ill be back!

Dope spot! Like the vibe. Good food. Moved here a year ago and this is by far one of my favorite joints in the neighborhood. Cheers!

Pretty solid bar. Good food, reasonable price for drinks, friendly bar tenders. Real solid place to spend a few hours hanging out.Definitely NOT hockey-centric though. Only playing 1/3 games available, metal over the stereo instead of the games, etc......No real complaints and I will probably go back; but based on their description I expected a relaxed sports bar and instead got a clean dive-bar that also has sports channels.

Fantastic food and great choices of local beer/liquor. Love the dive feel. The pinball machines are also a great addition.

Great food and drinks. The staff worked hard when we had a birthday party there right before trivia night. They came together and did a great job. The best vegan wings I’ve had yet!

As a vegan I absolutely love this place! They have an entire vegan menu and I have enjoyed everything I have tried there. The seitan wings are delicious.

Their vegan menu is amazing. We got the pickle chips, chili dogs, and chili fries. The servings are really big, so we ended up with leftovers. You definitely get what you pay for.

My wife and I stopped here for the vegan food while we were in Indy for the weekend. The food was great, the staff were very friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is very unique. The feel of the place isnt for everyone, but I enjoyed it. I love that the vegan food is just plant-based versions of their normal food. I definitely hope to stop in again in the future.

Great pinball, cheap drinks and solid menu with plenty of vegan options if you are into that sorta thing. Awesome decor, good music and events (Djs, bingo, etc)

Absolutely one of the best places to get vegan food in the city. The entire non vegan menu has basically been made vegan and its amazing. So many options, all so delicious - you cant go wrong. Friendly waitstaff, fun atmosphere (punky/metal/horror) - and if in the past the super loud music out you off, good news, it is now at a very acceptable level! They also have great beer on tap and pinball machines for some fun times, and are open late (including the kitchen). Highly recommended.

Busy busy so dont go for a quick bite. But food and service are great!! Chill atmosphere, nice dj. Not great for conversation though just because its loud. Try the buff mac.

One of my favorite bars in the city. Exquisite selection of vegan and vegetarian options. Great brew selection. Everybody there knows how to make a good cocktail. And theres always wrestling on the tube.Legit, please give these good people your money. I want to see them thrive.

Dive dar with flar

Came here on a Tuesday afternoon to spend some time with my boyfriend, which we don’t get often since we have a 1 year old daughter. Friendly bartender (unfortunately I forget his name), yummy food (highly recommend the chili cheese fries), and a well put together interior. It’s a little on the grungy side (in my opinion) but it’s definitely a nice spot!! P.S. they have a vegan menu in addition to the regular one, which I thought was cool.

The food is always top notch over here. There are vegetarian and vegan options for everything on the meat side of the menu. They have a superb list of rotating craft beers as well as a wide selection of cans. There is a weekly trivia night on Tuesdays at 8 pm. They have a dog-friendly patio out back as well.

Extremely less than average. I had heard so much hoopla about their vegan menu that I was hopeful that it could be somewhere my husband would enjoy. I got the chicken wings and curly fries for me and the cheese and mushroom sandwich for my husband. The fries were fried way too hard and the wings were not worth what I paid but they were good. My husband said the sandwich he had wasn’t worth it to him either. Won’t be going back.

Great place for me. Im vegan but most of my friends and family are not. They have a vegan menu and a non-vegan menu. Great food, great service. Everyone leaves happy.

Amazing bar with good prices, great food, and good selection. Rougher ambiance without teeth, and in a great part of town. Great alcohol selection. Fun place to take friends to hang out and watch some wrestling or movies on their several projectors. Cool pinball/arcade setup. Favorite place in Indy for a drink.

Fun place although I miss the pool tables. Changed to pin ball for the retro vibe I guess. Cheap eats to go with the beers though!

Fun spot, friendly staff, good beer and burgers!

Options for everybody! Came with a group and 2 of the people are Vegan and they were very satisfied with the options they had as well as the options that the rest of us had. With many pinball machines and hockey on TV how can you not be entertained at this place?

I chose this place because I am plant based vegan. My Happy Cow app lead me to this place. The bartender was very helpful. The restaurant is not vegan but have quite a few vegan options. Mostly fried which I try to stay from. I ordered a black bean burger blackened with garden veggies and jalepenos. Unlike some residents there black bean burger is made from scratch. Although I have had better this burger was pretty tasty except for the monteray jack Teese (cheese)..yuck.This place is a sports bar and they even have pinball machines

Very unique place. Amazing vegan food. Had a blast playing pinball.

This is one of my favorite places to eat in the midwest. Their food is amazing, they have just as many vegan options as they do meat options. They have the best cider and wine selection out of any bar Ive been in. Their video games are free and they only play rock music. Everything about this place is to love.

Love this place. Great metal music. Great staff, food is always good. Beer selection is really good when the temps drop.

Literally my favorite restaurant! Amazing vegan food! Awesome service! And pinball!!

Love the vegan menu!! The decor keeps me entertained. The drinks were good. Service was good. Will go back time and time again!

I love this place. Food is fantastic and the beer selection is top notch.

Wish i could give it a 6 star. I was approached by a friendly face upon my entrance. Our journey was for takeout, yet my ID was for nought. My companion soldiered on and ordered accordingly. I meanwhile got the highest pleasure. The doorway became my temporary residence and came with a wonderful array of empowering reading material. Food was wonderful and will definitely make my grand entrance in a few months time. Thank you and have a blessed day

Love the vegan options and beer selection! Especially enjoy the seitan wings and sauce selections

I was visiting Indy from Austin, TX and a friend took me straight from the airport to the Sinking Ship. It was the perfect place to make me feel at home. I didnt expect to find such an amazing bar Friendly staff, Pinball, and delicious Vegan options blew me away. This is my home away from home anytime I visit again. Thanks for such a great time! Ill be back.

I love the pickle fries here Such a sick place to chill

I liked the Ship it was...acceptable, the beer selection was tasty this night, however changing frequently its usually ok. The food is really the best thing here the usual suspects are here with some v/vg alterations or additions. Atmosphere at the ship is a bit punk/alternative spun in with a bit cool kid millennial given the sweet pinball set up and competitive skeeball, its a decent watering hole.

Great burgers and super cool atmosphere. Plus theyre open late!

Neighborhood staple. Good for vegans and meat lovers alike.

Great food! Cool bar with a big list of interesting beers.

Yummy food, cool people, great music & everything is Vegan if you want it.

Great vegan chili dogs!!!!! Best Ive had so far. I will definitely go back.

Cool, fun, weird dive bar. Went on trivia night for a buddy’s birthday. I’d go again. Great Gyro!

I was happy when I found a place with a large selection of vegetarian options. Usually I go with healthy stuff but its fun to get some bar classics every once in a while. I ended up getting the chili-cheese fries and Buffalo seitan wings with vegan ranch. My boyfriend got a vegan Cajun burger. Everything was fresh and hot and tasted great. The only nit-pick I would give would be that the wings should come with more celery and/or carrots because they really enhanced the flavor (Im sure it would be easy to ask for more). I couldnt finish them but they were really good reheated, too. The fries are breaded which I dont generally love but I thought they were good.

Excellent menu. People that work there are extremely nice. Wonderful atmosphere. Everyone should eat here.

The best punk hockey vegan bar in the universe. Their new menu is excellent where every item has a meaty option and a vegan option. The wait staff is incredible and there are not too many fries.

Hockey was on every tv except 1 saved for pro wrestling. Best food at its price level, good drinks, and great music playing all night (if you like hard punk and metal).One time I saw a guy Too Sweet over 100 people in a row.

So incredible. I live in cincinnati and traveled to Indi twice for work. Both times I ate there most of my week in town. I love the vibe the decor and the food. Worth a drive if you dont live in town.

Very good food options - plus several vegan and vegetarian. Thats why we go there. Great brunch menu as well. However, the beer is more manly than I prefer (IPA or Stouts). The music is usually too loud and raucous for conversations. But service is usually very good, attentive, and fast. We will always go back for the food or group meet ups. Very spacious location but not much parking.

My favorite bar ever! First time you go, you will definitely be confused by the heavy metal and artwork but it is the most welcoming atmosphere. Great place to watch a hockey game, play some pinball, or eat the best burger in Indy. Highly recommend this bar!

This place never disappoints!! Great menu for Vegas and meat eaters alike! Plus the bartenders are great humans!! Always makes it a pleasure to visit!

The rotis were fantastic. The spicy mayo was amazing. The fries were good and the value for the money was spot on. Great atmosphere too.

Great food, good drink options, quick service, fun and casual atmosphere. Great place for a laid back night.

They won’t let me bring my bike inside. Or my kids. They won’t give me free food either. But good beer list so five stars!

Great food, great service. Try the chili dogs and the wings.

Very very cold. Especially the womens bathroom. That made the experience overall uncomfortable..hard to enjoy food and company when your thighs feel like ice. Asked them to turn the heat up but the manager had the key and was not on property unfortunately. It was pretty dark even during lunch hours. Music was okay. Food was typical bar food.. unique art and vibe. Pinball machines were cool.

The Ship is exactly what is needs to be and exactly where it needs to be. Amazing food, awesome bartenders. Highly recommend

This brewery has a great atmosphere. Its got several pinball machines and an outside patio. The food was amazing and the drink selections were diverse

Great vegan restaurant. The menus were creative, and the alcohol selection was off the charts. A lot of cool knick knacks and artwork. Big college crowd.

The food is awesome. The pinballs are cool. It’s one of my favorite places to get a drink and eat some wings.

Eclectic environment the pinball machines all work! Funtime. The building face does not do the interior Justice! Great food.

Great selection for vegetarians, vegans, and meat-lovers alike! I love their vegan gyro and chilli. The loaded fries are also delicious. They have old school arcade games and tend to play metal. I really enjoy visiting this place. Staff is also friendly!

Pretty excellent metal oriented bar, food was pretty good but not amazing.However their beer selection is FANTASTIC and everything is priced pretty fair. Pretty chill/friendly staff as well.Next time Im in Indy I will more than likely stop by this place again.

Love the wrestling theme, food was terrific and reasonably priced.

Ahoy matey! This be th place if ye be lookin fer a bite o tasty vegan grub! Non-vegan options be offered here as well! If ye be a swashbuckler in need of some mouth-waterin grub, jolly good atmosphere, and a fine selection o pinball machines, then adjust yer sails and haul wind fer The Sinking Ship!

Fun, casual bar with large selection of beer. They also have pinball machines for $1.00 per play, with a change machine located next to the door. Only thing I would change is the volume of the music. It was about as loud as most other bars, but it would have been more enjoyable if it were a turned down a touch.

A nice spot for a laid-back drink and some pinball. A good place as well for after dinner drinks

One of the best burgers I have ever had--a lot of food for the money spent too. Good selection of drinks and awesome atmosphere. Would definitely go back!

Sinking Ship is one of my absolute most favorite bars to meet up with friends in SOBRO. The draft list is ever evolving and will always have something new and tasty on tap for you to try. I recommend the ship for casual drinking / eating with friends. The atmosphere is social but not too loud or ridiculous like a lot of the other bars in the area. Not to mention, the food is pretty great too. I definitely recommend trying out some of their vegan alternatives.

Great place! Will definitely come back!

I have been here several times. Huge beer selection with a decent menu catering to any life style. Place is clean and can be very loud to the point of annoying. Currently has a ton of pinball machines to play and a pool table. Great place to go and have fun with a friend or wife.

Great food, great atmosphere, if youre into metal. Nice options for both vegan and non-vegan dinners.

Food is great for what it is advertised for. I just prefer more fresh ingredients and not all deep-fried options. But that is on me!

One of my favorite places in Indy! Great vegan menu.

Great food and atmosphere. If it allowed kids Id be there all the time. Lots of great vegan and vegetarian options and stuff for the meat eaters too.

A bar with friendly staff and awesome vegan food, definitely worth driving just a little out of our way for!

This is a vegans heaven! The food and drink are great, the pinball games add a fun feel to the atmosphere.
