Connor's Pub

6331 Ferguson St, Indianapolis

Long-running bar offering craft beer, whisky & classic pub fare since 1979.

Golden Ace Inn

2533 E Washington St, Indianapolis

Indy's oldest Irish bar On March 1st, 1934, four months after prohibition, Irish immigrants John and Ann McGinley first opened the doors to the Golden Ace Inn. 90 years later many things have changed. The surrounding neighborhood has deteriorated, the trolleys no longer rumble down Washington Street and most of the nearby factories have closed. But inside these walls, not much has changed at all. We’re still proud of our Irish heritage, still proudly displaying our World War II “V” for victory sign above the back bar, still serving those delicious cheeseburgers and still owned and operated by the McGinley family.
