  Bavarian Flair in Downtown Indy

from Jäegerschnitzel to Filet Mignon, the award-winning menu features authentic German cuisine as well as steak, seafood, chicken, pork and vegetarian entrees. The Rathskeller also features an extensive wine and beer menu .
 

 

the Kellerbar is stocked with 12 imported draft beers, over
50 imported bottled beers, and hosts Indy's best bands.
