Editorial Review for The Rathskeller – by Marc Allan
The Scene
What started as a German social club in the late 1800s still has a social feel, thanks to an extensive selection of beers from Germany, Belgium and elsewhere, and German expressions on the wall. (One translates to: "Moderation is good and fine, but don't overdo it.") Diners find themselves surrounded by handsome dark wood, statues and beer steins.
The Food
Start with a heaping appetizer for two featuring bratwurst, bockwurst, juicy kielbasse and German wieners with sauerkraut and sweet-and-sour red cabbage. Segue into kassler ripchen--two thick pork chops coated in a lightly sweet glaze accented with apples and raisins, or schnitzel cordon bleu, a crispy, breaded slice of pork loin smothered in ham, Swiss cheese and sauteed mushrooms. Add a side of doughy spaetzle noodles in brown gravy, a dense potato pancake and an apple strudel a la mode and you're ready for a long, satisfying sleep.

Anytime I am in Indy, I try to make it here at least once. Good food, fun atmosphere, and great live music. Can be crowded, but it is a fun diverse crowd.
