Two newly opened restaurants in downtown Indianapolis offer diners distinctly different options. Scotty’s Brewhouse, founded in Muncie, Ind., is now located in the renovated Allen Plaza. It features an extensive menu of classic American fare, including salads, sandwiches, burgers, wraps. The plaza portion of the property serves as an 8,000 square-foot patio with seating for 150. The patio features a waiting/lounge area with couches and an eight-foot fire pit. The interior is home to a communal table in the bar that seats 12, private party spaces for more than 80 and a private board room.

Also, Taste of Tango, an Argentinean steakhouse, serves up authentic cuisine brought to your table by fedora-topped servers. Taste of Tango is an Indianapolis original restaurant.

The largest development initiative in Indianapolis’ history has taken flight. The Col. H. Weir Cook Terminal at the new Indianapolis International Airport is now open. Located just 15 minutes from downtown, the new terminal offers a host of visitor amenities, including convenient new interstate access, more ticket gates and streamlined security check-in. The heart of the facility is the Civic Plaza, home to public art, and dining and shopping options unique to Indianapolis, like the first-ever Indianapolis 500 Grill, a full-service restaurant accompanied by a Brickyard Authentics store and an Indianapolis 500 museum, and Cultural Crossroads, one of the nation’s first and most comprehensive local museum stores offering merchandise and displays from eight Indianapolis cultural institutions.
