Went here with some family while I was in town per recommendation from my aunt and wow what an expansive menu with so many plant based options. I tried the three bean chili and really enjoyed it, especially at our table next to the fire. It was the perfect winter day meal. The inside of this restaurant is beautiful but a little odd of a layout, which I actually think adds to the charm. We were seated next to a fireplace making a very warm and cozy lunch spot. I also tried some fries stolen from my lunch mates haha and we all split the veggie chips. Both were really good but the veggie chips were the real star for me. Service was pretty slow so taking a star off for that but I would definitely come back here, especially due to the diet friendly menu

BRip Brewpub is our go-to for patio eats and bevvies when the weather cooperates. Weather crappy? Go inside and experience the pub! The bar area fireplace is one of my fav spots to sit and sip. It's dog friendly (the patio) and they have a lot of really good veg*an options for me and the meats for the hubs to choose from. Funny enough, my omni husband actually prefers their garden sloppy joe - which is vegetarian - and their fish and chips are divine. My fav is the vegan tenderloin (seitan), extra pickles and yellow mustard, with the pub chips (think potato disks instead of fries). I have been told that nearly half the menu is vegetarian - and I believe it - and virtually all vegetarian items can be made vegan by subbing vegan cheeses or sauces. 5/5 stars for that alone. Add in some AWESOME beers and great service (Jess is wonderful), and you can see why we keep going back.

Had the Drunken Chicken Pasta and it was delicious! Just enough spicy. Chicken grilled perfectly. Great service too! Definitely try the Baby Guinness cocktail. Scotch eggs with HB sauce as an app. And the Monon Porter!! Wow. Just fantastic!

Broad Ripple Brew Pub is a safe bet for the family anytime. My wife usually wants meatless, my son usually wants meat, I usually want something different by the day and my daughter wants pasta or chicken. This place has it all and many options for each of us. I always get good service and I feel relaxed while I am there. In the warmer months, I take my dogs with me or with my family and eat outside. If it is a little chilly and I want an outside beer by the fire, they have a fire pit. I will say I like sitting outside better. The inside is a bit dark. This is Indiana's oldest brewery. I feel lucky to have it close by!

This place was awesome!! If you're vegan and looking for a place to This place is it. The food is flavor and tasty can hardly tell it's vegan. I had the tenderloin , hubby had fish & chips and my daughter who is no longer vegan was super impressed. The service was as expected very knowledgeable and was able to suggest entrees. Over all service 5 stars .8The ambiance was a little dark for me would not stop me from ordering again.

My husband and I have been here several times while biking on the Monon Trail. It was a perfect sunny day in Indiana, so we opted to sit outside and enjoy our flight. We got the Nice Weiss, Monon Porter, Red Bird Mild, Dual Citizenship Ale, Black Heat Lager, Lawn Mower Pale aale, Dark Hero, and Boro Brown Ale. We always enjoy trying the different beers here. We especially enjoyed the Dual Citizenship Ale, Monon Porter, and the Nice Weiss. Great service and delicious beer! We will be back for sure!
