Nowhere Special - Warren Park

Nowhere Special is a hidden gem when it comes to unique cocktail experiences. Their blue cheese dirty martini is unparalleled, offering a sophisticated twist on the classic martini that elevates it to new heights. The rich, savory flavor of the blue cheese pairs perfectly with the crisp, clean notes of the martini, making it a must-try. Jake behind the bar is fantastic, delivering great service with skill and a friendly demeanor that enhances the overall experience. Nestled in a dark, sunless environment, this speakeasy's ambiance is accentuated by its moody lighting and perfectly curated music, adding to the allure. To top it all off, their happy hour between 5pm and 8pm from Sundays through Thursdays offers delicious cocktails at a great price. If you're looking for a standout cocktail in a captivating atmosphere, Nowhere Special is the place to be.

Excellent atmosphere. Very mellow and very excellent music choice. Drinks were creative too.

Jake was the bartender and he made me a complex beverage that was off menu (Ramos gin fizz) and It was OUTSTANDING. I can’t wait to come back!

We had done our research and were really excited to try this place. Fortunately, we were staying close by but sadly weren’t able to get there until about 10:35ish PM. Separate kitchen hours are not listed so we weren’t able to try the food nor were we informed of the kitchen closing when we came in and were given menus. Additionally, new menues were rolled out “JUST today” and weren’t updated on the website. The menu items that drew us to the location were no longer available. Service was also really slow. Concepts and menues seemed amazing, execution missed the bar for us. I hope others have a better experience.

This place is actually nowhere special. I don’t know how this place managed to make its way on the list of cocktail places to visit in Indianapolis but I’m pretty sure you can go to Cheesecake Factory or TGIF and have the same sort of cocktail experience there. The bartender was not friendly either and was not very knowledgeable on the sort of cocktails that were on the menu and made it very clear they weren’t willing to make a drink to fit my taste preferences either. This was super disappointing, enough for me to just leave the establishment and google another cocktail place. I ended up at the ball biscuit and my experience walking in was already 100% better. I really wanted to like this establishment but first impression was not so great, definitely did not give a true craft cocktail vibe.
