Looking for a new place to eat, drink, and be merry that’s fresh, modern, and eclectic (without being tacky or gaudy)? We found just the place – and as it turns out, it’s nestled right in the heart of old-school Indianapolis, within the Holy Rosary neighborhood. It’s contemporary and always up to date on the latest culinary trends and passions, and once you’ve tried literally anything from the menu once, you’re sure to crave it time and time again for years to come. Established in 2012 and going strong ever since, Bluebeard is a modern restaurant in Indiana that will give you the feeling you’re in a much bigger city than little ol’ Indy; it delivers a sense of homestyle belonging, though, too, and the entire experience is well worth the drive from wherever you might be. Oh, and did we mention the entire thing is inside an old warehouse built in 1924? Because the whole thing is inside a warehouse built in 1924. Check it out:

Bluebeard strives to be many things, and honestly, if you ask us, it nails every last one.

It's modern without being shallow. It's innovative without being extreme or over-the-top. It's delicious without being outrageous (though one could certainly say they're outrageously delicious).
It's this truly unique, special-to-experience vibe that Bluebeard prides itself on.

In a kitchen led by executive chef Abbi Merriss, who's been with the joint since it first opened, new chefs get the chance to spread their wings and indulge in their artistic side with the creation of every culinary masterpiece.
