Night Out on the Town

Approaching the half way mark for some teams in Big Ten Conference play, our attention begins to shift towards the home of the first football championship game in Indianapolis. The Capitol of the Hoosier State has many options for all types. The downtown area has many of the chain restaurants and bars, as well as some of the more well-known places, locally run, but have been in business for a number of years.

Indianapolis has been the home of the Big Ten Men's and Women's Basketball Championships so the area isn't new to someone who follows their favorite team for many years. About half way between Lucas Oil Stadium and Conseco Fieldhouse is a small Irish Pub, Claddagh Irish Pub.

Although it is a chain of some sort, this is the only one I know I've been too. After looking at the web site I may have been to the one in Columbus, but not completely sure. The food is good and has the Irish classics on the menu. And the variety of beer is good, although I'm not into the heavy English type.

This is a good place to hang out with friends hours leading up to the Big Ten Championship game. And definitely a good place to meet friends after the win.
