Barley Island is about 20 minutes from downtown Indianapolis.
Inside you are greeted by a fairly sparse seating area, but toward the back things get a little warmer, with booths and frosted glass all in an Irish theme. I especially liked the hanging lights that showed leprechauns holding mugs of ale. They also have an adjoining game room with pool and classic arcade games.
The beer selection is fairly good. They have 6 beers available, including a seasonal or 2, and a cask offering. The have a sampler and growlers available as well. The beers range from standard brewpub stuff to more unique offerings like a 60 Shilling Scottish Ale.
The service here was decent. The food was a combination of Irish pub grub, pizza and sandwhiches.
All in all this is definitely a recommended stop if you are in the Indianapolis area.
Pros: Good beers
