Barringers Tavern

Barringers Tavern stands as a beloved Southside Indianapolis institution, having served the community since 1879 when five partners came together to resurrect this classic neighborhood establishment. Located at 2535 S Meridian St Suite B in the South Village neighborhood, this reimagined dive bar seamlessly blends old-school charm with modern appeal. The menu features crowd-pleasers like the legendary Double Barringers Burger, crispy Turtle Wings, TeePee Cheese And Sausage pizza, Key West Fish N Chips, and the popular South Village Chislic.

The tavern offers entertainment seven days a week, including pool tables, darts, and table-top football. Multiple bars, couch seating areas, and a jukebox create the perfect atmosphere for both locals and visitors seeking an authentic Indianapolis dive bar experience. The owners, often present to greet guests, have carefully preserved the property's rich history which once included a bathhouse, barber's chair, bowling alley, farmers market, and boarding house. Whether you're stopping in for happy hour, hosting a private party, or catching a game, Barringers Tavern delivers that timeless Southside feeling keep patrons coming back generation after generation.
