The Brass Ring Lounge — Restaurant in Indianapolis

I used to hang out here frequently, but stopped going after a weird incident with one of the bartenders.

My girlfriend and I were sitting at the bar, and we both went out to the side of the building so I could smoke. This had never been a problem during any of my numerous past visits, but it was that night.

The bartender poked her head out of the door, spotted us, and promptly returned with our checks before we could go back inside. I'd literally been drinking there about once a week for half a year with zero problems, and she told me she didn't want me to run out on my bill.

I spoke to her and let her know (very amicably) that I thought what she had done was a little rude, but that just made her angry. We paid our bills, left, and I've only been back once since then.

Other than the uncomfortable interaction, I really liked hanging out there. The drinks are affordable and the crowds usually aren't wild. All of the food I tried was yummy. It does get really crowded inside during peak hours, so that's worth keeping in mind if you don't like...

Tried to get a menu for over an hour; went to pay for the one drink I got for my friend who dragged me there. While paying, I try to ask for a menu one last time and got told that, "next time, don't be so rude and maybe things will go better." Confused and stone-cold sober I tried to make sense of what was happening. Any questions for clarifications were met with more disrespect. I called their business phone number to try to make sense with a manager or owner and I'm told I can email my complaint and pushed off with a sardonic "take it easy" followed by them hanging up on me. Unsatisfied with their belligerence, I received 5 more calls later that night, from 4 to 5 AM, where they pretended to be women from other local bars who wanted to "hook up" with me, while giggling at their epic pranks. Either they are obsessed or possessed, perhaps both; gave me plenty reason to...

Last night about 40 of our friends went to the Brass Ring Lounge after we left a wedding. The seating and bar were great; however, one server was extremely rude, which really changed the how I felt about the whole experience. The server is petite, has dark brown hair, and wears large-framed black glasses. A previous customer had upset her, but she took it out on me when I was talking to her. She held up her hand in my face and cut me off mid-sentence. I really wanted to leave, but I didn't want to mess with the bride and groom's happy night. Later on, the bride witnessed the same server being rude to her cousin, and the server actually made her cousin cry. Then I felt like I could tell her what had happened to me. I know bartenders have to deal with crappy situations, but they don't have to take it on other customers, especially on such an important...
