Always a treat coming here! Friendly staff, good food, good music, and awesome decor. I love their menu and it's vegan and meat-eater friendly! The food is always delicious and there's always good beer available! If you haven't stopped in yet, DO IT! Give the seitan wings a try with the Korean barbeque sauce while you're there!

I cannot say enough amazing things about this establishment. The food is amazing, the concept is brilliant, and the decor was fascinating to look at! The vegan pickle fries literally blew my mind and I crave them all the time! The vegan menu was amazing, not extensive instead of just a few options! I would definitely be a regular if I lived closer!

What can I say...I was not expecting to find Vegan/Vegetarian options on a Sunday night at Midnight... thanks to a dismissive attitude from a local pizza joint..I googled Vegetarian near me..and low and behold...The Sinking Ship appears... their menu immediately grabbed my attention... I arrived to a courteous environment..great Beer selection...awesome music... my food was awesome!! And I will definitely be back when I visit my parents in Indy again...

Great service, and so many awesome vegan options. Maybe almost too many. Definitely ordered way too much food!

It's like a grungy punk bar from the 80's, but clean & with good food. Seems like it would probably be a lot of fun on a Friday night with friends. But, my husband and I went on a Thursday at 6pm. It was relatively quiet & not very crowded. I got the Buff Cobb salad. It was nice: shredded buffalo chicken, hard boiled egg, avocado, blue cheese, tomato, onion (cut really too thick), & I think maybe some bacon? I found myself wishing it had croutons. The ranch seemed house made; I found it to be a little on the thick side but tasty. My husband got the pulled pork sandwich which we both thought was kind of run of the mill. It came with potato chips which were really good; kind of like a very tight, tiny waffle cut & dusted with what seemed to be a combo of bbq, sour cream, & cheddar. We also got the country mac which had smoked sausage & bbq sauce. It was pretty good. I loved their noodles; large, thick elbow. Their sauce was pretty saucy but not super cheesy. There was a piece of cheese baked over the top but I think it would be better if it were mixed in with the sauce. I was not crazy about the bbq sauce either (but bbq sauce preferences are completely personal).

I was delighted with this eatery/bar for lunch. The beer selection was full of options. My favorite thing was the menu which was creatively split into Vegan/Meat eating. My Vegan companion enjoyed the meal. We both loved the decor-especially the pinball machines. I will definitely be back and would recommend this So-Bro experience to others.

My wife and I stopped here for the vegan food while we were in Indy for the weekend. The food was great, the staff were very friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is very unique. The feel of the place isn't for everyone, but I enjoyed it. I love that the vegan food is just plant-based versions of their normal food. I definitely hope to stop in again in the future.

One of my favorite bars in the city. Exquisite selection of vegan and vegetarian options. Great brew selection. Everybody there knows how to make a good cocktail. And there's always wrestling on the tube. Legit, please give these good people your money. I want to see them thrive.

Was actually pretty good - definitely an alternative atmosphere, and definitely felt more "bar" than restaurant. Nothing wrong with that though, because the food was excellent. Vegan options as well. I think we will be coming back soon

Always awesome food, great service (if you're not a pretentious jerk), and a perfect atmosphere. One of the only places where one can go and expect to see a real sport like hockey on the screen and rest assured that no party buses will be stopping in. The food caters to all crowds, but the vegetarian fare is truly awesome... get the seitan wings with Korean BBQ sauce, you will not be disappointed.
