I have ate here twice and enjoyed my meal both times. Their West Lafayette location is one of my favorite restaurants, so I was glad to find the Mass Ave location was of similar quality. The last time I had the fish and chips (excellent), and this time I had the breaded tenderloin sandwich (okay, not great) with pub chips. My friend and I split pickle chips, which were pretty good. I would definitely eat here again.
June-2014-This seemed like a real Irish bar, to me. A group singing Irish songs, with some sing-along by the patrons. It was packed, being open only a week, and it is a huge space. I can tell that this is going to be a go-to place. My friend and I only had drinks, so, a later review will comment on the food.
Update-08.08.15-Second visit. Went early on a Saturday, around 5:30, and it was already busy. Matthew was our server and did a good job. I had the Veggie Burger, which was good, and the Corn Chowder, which was excellent. My wife had the Full Irish Breakfast with eggs, bacon, sausage, pub chips and a bread choice. She gave it a 10. I had some of her pub chips and loved them, especially with the spicey shamrock sauce. Will return some day.
Fantastic Lunch. Went in for lunch with 4 coworkers, two of us got the Rubens which were fantastic, one got the Irish Nachos which she loved and were huge, and two others got fish & chips that they are still raving about a month later. Wonderful & quick service.
Slainte!!. In the mood for some Irish pub grub? The latest addition to the Indy scene is 9 Irish Brothers located on Mass Avenue. Hearty fair perfect for Fall. The fried pickles with the car bomb sauce was wonderful. I don't know if they really eat fried pickles in Ireland but they would love these. Fish and chips were good with a really good spice on the chips. The best part is the Irish breakfast that has eggs, bacon, sausage and tomatoes - something we fell in love with when we visited Dublin. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere cozy. Definitely will be going back there.
Not bad. Enjoyed the Shepherds Pie. This place does well in West Lafayette as there are so few decent choices near Purdue, but they may not do as well in the crowded Indy table scape.
Great fish and chips and a fine Irish breakfast make this a welcome addition to the Indy dining scene.
Great Sheperds Pie. My first time here. The staff were very friendly and accomodating. Also Jerry and Matt were a lot of fun to chat with. The shepherds pie was excellent. I will be definitely going back to try other dishes.
Fish and Chips. Sweet tender moist fish, freshly battered with delicious tasting crunchy batter. Wonderful homemade chips. slaw is fabulous too
Irish Music?. An Irish Gentleman is someone who knows how to play Irish music, but doesn't. This is a good pub, but the music can empty half the joint as soon as it starts.
I'm a huge fan of Irish pubs and was so excited for this to open... My expectations were exceeded 100%! The food was awesome, but our server, Matt, was possibly the best server I have ever had in my life. He was knowledgeable about the food and the beer and made awesome suggestions, he was extremely friendly and attentive and took a genuine interest in us. 5 out of 5 all the way!
Idk what everyone’s complaining about as far as food and service goes. Maybe someone who’s no longer here? We came for the first time tonight and lord almighty was it good. Amazing food. The goat balls were to die for. And the waitresses were freaking amaze-balls. Came back after the concert and even though it was busy they were still cool as hell. So coming back.
Ordered the corned beef and cabbage. Very, very flavorful and the taters were excellent! The only reason for 4-Stars is the incorrect cutting technique of the corned beef. This should always be sliced against the grain rather than with. As a foodie, this switch will promote more tender beef as well as better presentation. Don’t get me wrong, the flavor was amazing! But this shift could really take 9IB to the next level! Thank you for great food and service!
My husband and I stopped here, as it was across from our AirBnB on our first night in Indy. We took a quick Look at the menu and thought we’d enjoy it. We were absolutely right! There weren’t a lot of people at the time of our visit. The staff was wonderful, super friendly. Our food was delicious. I got the bangers and mash, and my husband got the shepard’s pie. We would definitely return if we ever visit Indy again.
Really fun place with a very cool vibe. Bartenders were nice and the prices were reasonable. The food was good. Try the Irish gold potatoes. Done to perfection. And this is barfood.!

I loved this place, the food is delicious, the beer is good too, and the Irish environment is nice. The waiters are pretty nice, and the service is good in general, I would like to return someday and taste more dishes and beers.
Cool corner bar with that great Irish pub feel. Stopped in on a Sunday for lunch and a couple of tall cold ones. The place was not busy at all, which I prefer. The server was pleasant and attentive. The salmon dinner was excellent and I nibbled on some fish and chips which I found to be delish as well. Highly recommended! I'm looking forward to a return visit. 5 ✨s
I am a travel nurse in Indianapolis and drive past Nine Irish Brother frequently and always said myself, “I really want to try that place”. Thank goodness I did! I felt like I walked into a local pub in Ireland. The Irish pub music was amazing, the atmosphere was was amazing, and the fish & chips….AMAZING! I am so glad that I extended my travel contract for another three months so that I can visit NIB many more times.
Great Food, pleasant atmosphere. Corned beef just the way I remember my Grandmother making it! Top notch staff that take great care, we did not have to ask for anything!
Solid Irish place. Great bangers. Could have Slightly better British beer selection.
First time eating a traditional Irish meal. We ordered 3 different items and all were great. And portions were large; one of our orders, guiness stew, was just a half size but only managed to eat about 1/3 of the dish. Great atmosphere and servers where very nice and helpful.
