Big Lug Canteen★ ½

Restaurateur Eddie Sahm and brewer Scott Ellis combine their love of beer and regional eats in this spacious hangout steps from the Monon Trail. Seasonal beers and house standards include Ellis’s spins on wheats, ales, and IPAs, as well as beers inspired by pilgrimages to breweries around the country. A streamlined menu offers excellent and hearty poutine, salads, and sandwiches, none more macho than the Nashville Hot Chicken (cribbed from the original at Prince’s Hot Chicken Shack). Lunch and dinner daily.
