Hilltop Tavern — Restaurant in Indianapolis

I used to have a wonderful time watching the bands on Fridays and singing. It has been my comfort zone as I am typically uncomfortable in large crowds but really love music. It's been several months since I've been, and I had a horrible experience tonight with the bartenders being very hateful. I came in with an expired ID although you can still see I am 33 years old. I showed her my current ID on my phone to ask if that helps. She said I had to leave and she accused me of having an attitude. I did ask some questions but I genuinely wanted to know, I was not trying to be rude. She said I was interrupting her while she was serving customers but that is not true because I know that I waited for her eyes to be on me because I would not speak to her unless her attention was on me to do so. My friends were in disbelief because they saw it. They all think she was being unreasonably difficult or rude.

I explained that my dog chewed my current ID and I had a new one on the way. She asked to see the paper one they gave me. I said I did not get a paper one. She snidely said yes you did. I explained that I ordered a new ID online. So, I went home. When I got home, my mailbox was hanging open with a package and I also had mail and my new ID was in there. It felt like the universe was telling me to go have my good time and enjoy singing again because it's been a while.

I went back to Hilltop, the woman said something like "so we did all this arguing for no reason when you had this the whole time" and I tried telling her what happened but she interrupted and she told me to leave again in a very rude way. I did tell her I felt she was the one being mean as I feel any human being who feels mistreated should deserve to say. I said I don't understand because I have what I need to be here legally. She said THERE IS A DOOR THAT SAYS EXIT AND YOU CAN GO OUT IT.

I am not a flawless communicator by any means although I think I can have a bubbly personality when I feel balanced and regulated. I am much better at writing than speaking, especially to people who are making me feel very uncomfortable. I informed her that I have autism and sensory processing disorder and this whole social interaction is very confusing and increasingly dysregulating by the second for me, all I want to do is sing 2 songs and play a game of pool. I don't even drink alcohol. I even pointed to the ear buds i had in to further demonstrate my processing sensitivities. She did not care at all or have any understanding or compassion at all, and I'm having a hard time comprehending/processing what just happened because I know that I was not mean and several of my friends who frequent the hilltop tried to advocate for me that I am a quality person. The other bartender told me she did see me getting an attitude as she showed me an exaggerated head bob that an arguing person might do which was a lie because I did not do that and my friends can confirm.

She said she worked there for 5 years, but I was going every Friday for a while and never saw her. The girls who were there every weekend when I attended were very kind to me and loved for me to come sing. I'm very upset and disappointed in this. I feel like it's much bigger than a bartender kicking me out of a bar, I feel like I have to advocate for neurodivergents because we deserve a little understanding especially when it comes to awkward social interactions. I think these bartenders should have to take some kind of inclusion or diversity course to learn how to be sensitive and kind to people with...

0 Stars. Don't come here if you're pretty and think you might be alone for even 5 minutes. Went to Irvington theatre, then here after. Just wanted a couple drinks. Seemed like an okay place at first. Some weird people but that's anywhere. My girlfriend went to the car for 5 minutes, and one of their employees and one of their regulars came to the car cat calling. One of them opened the door and started to run his hand up her thigh. Long story short she called the cops. The bartender and other regulars were all covering for these guys. The cops didn't care. Didn't even ask who I was. They showed the cops the video but there was multiple times they came up to the car, so I'm convinced they showed the video where he didn't do anything and deleted the rest. The cop told me he could tell he came to the car but couldn't tell if he reached in. Said the camera was facing straight down. Well when I came the next day to get my car, I looked at the camera. It is absolutely not facing down, actually facing right at my car. I also called and asked if the owner was in and if they had a minute to talk, the answer was "no we're too busy" and hung up before I could reply. Oh also, dude was 35 and my girl is 22. C'mon now. Don't know his real name but he told me it was Shade. When I confronted the guy he denied it and ran back inside to the cover of the bartender. Never seen him again. These people don't give a damn about it. What happened to girls sticking up for girls? Instead the bartender just said she was lying. This is why so many woman are afraid to speak up when things like this happen. NOBODY BELIEVES THEM. What are we letting our...

One of the best taverns on the East Side that is left . Oh I have dealt with the bartender Peggy very sweet but don't call on busy nights she will be very distracted ha/ha .
