Love the place

   DJAnderson08 - 06/12/2009

I too served in the Army and I was also stationed in Germany. There is no other place in Indianapolis that is close to the Rathskeller with German food. I liked it so much that in a little over 29 hours I will be having my wedding reception in their Gran Kellersal Ballroom. It is a little pricey but in my honest opinion it's worth it for the quality off food and service you get. I like going to the Rathskeller for the 4th of July to see the fireworks and have a liter or two.

Not borring?

I try to hit up the Rathskellar at least a couple times a summer. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. I love the atmosphere and I love when they open the biergarten. It is a SIGN that summer has started in Indy...when it's warm enough to wear a strappy tank top, drink big fatty 32 ounce beers outside and listen to live music, I know my life is getting better by the minute.

I discovered Rathskellar when I moved to Indy in 2002 and it is definitely in my Top 5 favorite places to go in the summer. I didn't have the opportunity to eat here until last year and since then, I've been in HEAVEN.

Authentic German food, beautiful waiters, the list goes on. This place does it right!! My girlfriend hosted her rehearsal dinner here in October and the ribs melted in my mouth (and I don't really EAT ribs). Oh, it was amazing. The food was plentiful, the bartenders know how to mix a mean drink and the beer options spectacular!

This place is a MUST do in the summer and great for groups, big dinners, special occasions and first dates. It will put you in a good mood...hit up the biergarten when Polka Boy or ZanaDoo is playing ...you will have a BLAST!!

Definitely something different when everything else in Indy has that monotone thing going on ...the blah blah blah...we did that last weekend feel. The Rathskellar always has a place in my date book.

At the end of the war?

Was stationed in Germany in the 70's U.S. Army.
Went back in the early 80's to Amsterdam a few times.

Yes, you can find this quality food over there. Would I eat there again? NO.
It wrecks my memories of the times when I lived there. I think the people that run this restraunt wanted to whip up anti- German hatred.

Authentic and Yummy

Love the food and the atmosphere! Not a cheap date, but worth the money for a special occasion.

Not very wheelchair accessible (you can't get into the bathroom but the dining area is accessible)

Will never forget.

So authentically German, you’ll think twice before stepping into their shower rooms. Their superior beers and masterful sausage plates, however, may give you poisonous gas.
