Huge place with a variety of seatings inside and outside. Great selection of German beers, delicious food. I like the beer garden atmosphere the most: with live music, fresh air, shade of trees, beautiful view on a cathedral.

Food was great. Grilled portobello mushroom was fantastic! I could have literally just ordered more of that. Beef roast was good but different. Chicken Diane was good but little dry. Service was good and atmosphere was great!

Authentic building, authentic food, authentic experience!! So much positive German experience that I couldn’t even fit into a single review. This is a place you have to see for yourself. We went on a weeknight and ate in the bar lounge area. The appetizers were so amazing we didn’t save much room for entrees or dessert.. but we ordered them anyways. Left happy and more than satisfied.

This is one of the most fun places I’ve ever been to. We stumbled upon this place during a bachelorette weekend trip, and we absolutely loved it. They had live music outside with room to dance. I’d highly recommend this for anyone, but especially if you’re with a big group who likes to dance. Just a fun atmosphere.

We’ve eaten here many times over the years to celebrate my husband’s birthday. It never disappoints. The pretzel appetizer with the wasabi mustard is our favorite. I always get lemon pepper chicken and my husband gets jagerschnitzel. The black forest cherry cake is the best dessert. Tonight we called an hour in advance and were able to get a table, even with a large wedding party arriving. Our server, Jane, was top notch and we enjoyed a great meal in a wonderful atmosphere. There is plenty of street parking outside the restaurant, but be prepared to walk a little and pay a meter.

Fantastic food, great staff and beautiful atmosphere! The authentic German food was delicious. Really good drink selection especially if you enjoy a good German beer. If I am ever back in Indianapolis I will definitely come back! Thank you for a wonderful experience.

We had dinner in the Rathskeller tonight, the appetizer wurst was good. Me and my friend studied in Europe country and my friend is actually from germany, so he was little picky about making decisions, but he enjoyed the appetizer and Riesling wine. Main course were pretty big portions but not that good as much as we expected. .Patricia(hope i spelled correct) was good at giving us informations about the restaurant.

Stefani Wade
Food was good. Beware of the spicy mustard they bring out with the pretzel- it’ll literally take your breath away it’s so strong!! Service was very slow and we waited for quite a while before getting any service. Staff wasn’t overly friendly either. It was a decent experience but probably wouldn’t go back.

Well, I’ve never felt compelled to ride a one-star review, I feel the need to be able to let people know that they should never eat at The Rathskeller.
