Number 18! Bourbon Street Distillery. Talk about a place that I have driven by thousands of times and not thought one minute about it being anything but a bar downtown. I have always loved the look of this place because it has a great 2nd floor wrap around patio that sits on a nice corner of downtown, but bar food just doesn’t motivate me much and since I don’t drink, I have always just kept driving.
Super 46 informed me that there MIGHT be Triple Decker BLT worthy of a try. This is what they had to say:
This lively bar with great views of downtown Indianapolis serves hearty pub grub with pumped-up classics like their Triple Decker BLT, loaded with crisp bacon piled on three pieces of freshly toasted bread and served with a side of housemade chips or fries. The industrial-style building features exposed brick walls fittingly plastered with kitschy posters.
I am a bacon sandwich fan. No tomato. Bacon, white bread smothered in Miracle Whip, and a slice of cheddar. You can toast the bread if you want but the only two rules that must be followed is no tomato and CRISP bacon.
Kathie and I ordered (she opted for a burger) and enjoyed the ambiance of the place while we waited for our food. The wrap around patio is neat but it was WAY too hot for us to enjoy the day that we visited.

When our food arrived, the first thing I looked at was the bacon. It is supposed to be the star after all. The bacon was a little under where I like it but there was plenty of it, another key to the proper bacon sandwich. I took a bite per our rules – as served, and then promptly peeled off the tomato and really took a bite. Overall this is a better than average BAR sandwich. Nothing to write home about and I would not have put it on the list but, I am glad they did. This is a nice joint downtown that I would take my “drinking” friends to for some nice Indianapolis downtown vibe, some above average bar food and a cool old building. It would beat any of the chain bar/restaurants that we have around, but I think I will just order the burger next time.
