The 10 Best Bars & Clubs in Indiana, United States
With beaches, boating, and salmon fishing in Michigan City and Gary bordering Lake Michigan, there is more to Indiana than might appear at first glance. The agricultural heartland even has cross country skiing and snowmobiling to go with the Cornball Express. Southwest Indiana near Evansville is renowned for the well-preserved Native American Angel Mounds State Historic Site. The largest city and state capital is famous worldwide for its Indianapolis 500 race. Even locals living in the suburbs often overlook the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Eiteljorg Museum, NCAA Hall of Champions, the old Union Station museum cluster, and downtown Canal Walk, to name but a few landmarks. South Bend is synonymous with the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame.
Forested Nashville’s art colony fame dates to the early 1900s when Impressionist Theodore Clement Steele overwintered in The House of the Singing Winds. It is now the T.C. Steele State Historic Site. View paintings and sculpture at the I.M. Pei-designed Indiana University Museum of Art. Attend an IU sports event or an opera, ballet, concert, or theater performance. Treat the family to The Little Nashville Opry or The Bill Monroe Bluegrass Park. For healing mineral springs, head south to Orange County, Indiana’s spa resort center.
Enjoy golf, fishing, boating, cross country skiing, snowmobiling, and ice skating in the nation’s agricultural heartland. Monticello and Rensselaer are west of Logansport and north of Lafayette. Take the family on the Cornball Express and Hoosier Hurricane at the Indiana Beach Amusement Resort in Monticello. Play boardwalk carnival games, or let the kids loose on the go-carts. Pile the family into their vehicles for an old-fashioned movie experience at Monticello’s Lake Shore Drive-In. Indulge in a weekend dinner boat cruise to hot band sounds as the Madam Carroll plies Lake Freeman.

We had drinks and Sunday Brunch on their outside deck. Th brunch drink menu is primarily juice or coffee flavored combinations and they are perfect for an alcoholic drink at 10:30 on Sunday morning. The brunch food items are bigger than you might expect and they were very well done and tasty. The service is always excellent. If you are visiting soon you may still be able to pick up a bottle of their Octoberfest Whiskey.

Hi Mike and Aprile here! We love our local business, Carson's Brewery... great place to sample a couple of craft and guest brew flights (Mike really likes the Brown Cow and Harlot, Aprile also likes the fruit beers), kick back with family and friends on the weekend while listening to the tunes of live music entertainment for the evening (7-10 pm). They have had some really good music events on the weekend to enjoy, either sitting out by the fire (our favorite place to kick back under the stars when there) or inside the taproom! Enjoyed the music entertainment by CurtNRod, Hudsy, Smith and Rome, and Dueling Guitars just to name a few. Staff are always very friendly and welcoming. The brewery is pet friendly... our little Mia the yorkipoo is a great fan of Carson's! We typically pick up a Stromboli and chips from our favorite little Twisted Tomato on the way to enjoy at Carson's and bring a few bar snacks with us (Chex mix, mixed nuts, pretzels) to munch on during the evening. Would highly recommend you give this little gem in Evansville a try! You too will become a regular at Carson's.
