Revolucion

Prospect Street stretches Fountain Square’s footprint.

Tiki has landed on the shores of Indianapolis in a tropical wave of bamboo and pineapples. The following Indy tiki spots had us at aloha.

A dozen of the Hot Garlic wings served with carrots, celery, and bleu cheese from Keystone Sports Review (5602 N. Keystone Ave., 317-251-9902). Ichiban Sushi Bar (8265 U.S. 31 S, 317-883-1888) serves more than 30 types of special sushi rolls, including Racquel’s Tataki: spicy tuna, salmon, sticky rice, avocado, and tobiko. The Eagle (310 Massachusetts […]

So you both swiped right. Here are three great destinations for checking each other out IRL.

Where to check out Gen Con costumes, what to see at the State Fair, a winery concert, and more.

A few Indy bars are playing the classic tiki drink fairly straight up. Others? Not so much.

The five dishes you must try this week, including Marrow’s pork-and-eel shumai.

Five new mostly rum-based drinks at Tini are poured into punch bowls and offered with cups and ladles.

Jog your memory, while meeting the new issues on the block.

Including the sweet, tropical liliko’i (passion fruit) margarita at Revolucion.

Including the Ruby and Golden Trout at Topo’s 403.

The embarrassingly large portion of smoked rib tips—probably a dozen of them—and scoop of macaroni and cheese that goes back to basics with just a bit of crunch on the edges, at GeoSoul Soul Food (3705 N. Illinois St., 317-920-8090), which opened in May. The Cuban sandwich at Twenty Tap (5406 N. College Ave., 317-602-8840), a reference to the storefront’s former tenant, Northside News

Crisp, deep-fried Moroccan Eggs, like Scotch eggs but with an added layer of falafel, at Black Market (922 Massachusetts Ave., 317-822-6757).  Good Morning Mama’s (1001 E. 54th St., 317-255-3800) corned beef hash—hash browns and shredded corned beef under eggs. The mixed-be

Some al fresco tables announce themselves from the curb—little wrought iron two-tops arranged along the edges of parking lots and busy sidewalks. But some of the best outdoor tables in town are more hidden from view (and, in many cases, comfortably out of the baking sun’s direct line of fire). Want to sip wine in an urban garden that looks like something straight out of West Side Story (with strings of lights and Friday night movies, no less)? Reserve a courtyard table at Iozzo’s Garden of Italy just south of downtown. Have a hankering for skewered appetizers and umbrella drinks with a tiki essence? The fenced-in patio attached to Revolucion is your hallowed ground. Here, a few more of our favorite secluded places to get a little air with dinner.

Fountain Square’s growing bar and dining scene just got a little edgier with the opening, on June 14, of Revolucion (1132 Prospect St., 423-9490), the latest funky enterprise of Fountain Square fixture David “Tufty” Clough. Altars to Our Lady of Guadalupe (though sadly with battery-operated candles), vibrant paintings of gun-slinging skeletons in sombreros (compliments of artist Shelby Kelley), and a tiki bar in the back all contribute to the rich atmosphere of this new cantin
