Libertine

Creative cocktails? Most certainly. Delicious food? Absolutely. Unique atmosphere? Hard to describe - classy, hipster, chic, cool. The name itself signals that this is not a typical neighborhood bar. Libertine had been open less than two years when it was named in May 2013 by Esquire magazine as one of its "Best Bars in America." Owned by talented chef Neal Brown, Libertine notes that it "celebrates the untamed, pioneering American Spirit with a focus on classic cocktails, craft distillers, boutique wines and an ever-evolving menu to best accompany them." Save time to savor the menu. Changing cuisine choices might include such delights as the Bacon Flight - three varieties of bacon from Indy's own meatery the Smoking Goose. Cocktails are made with craft liquors and the menu identifies drink creator as well as year and place, such as the Screw & Bolt created by Neal Brown in Indy in 2011.
