About this restaurant

  • Great for happy hour
  • Healthy
  • Neighborhood gem
Tavern at the Point is a friendly neighborhood tavern with a pub style menu and a full service bar selection of beer, wine, spirits, and cocktails.
Patti and Chic Perrin took over Old Point Tavern in 1990 from James Newlin who operated the 401 Mass Ave corner bar since 1954. The bar itself dates back to 1887 when the location’s first liquor license was obtained. Old Point Tavern was the second oldest bar in Indianapolis after Slippery Noodle on Illinois and South.
Nachos and half pints, laughing guests and full bowls of chili brought locals and visitors to the authentic tavern experience. Nostalgia and stories kept the corner space a favorite of Indianapolis’ bar scene alive for many years.
When the Perrins decided it was time to retire, they went to Cunningham Restaurant Group to pass on the baton of the iconic corner of hospitality. “It’s bittersweet, but we’re super excited about the Cunningham Group” Patti Perrin told Indy Star in the announcement in January 2018.

    Food was tasty and portions were (as usual) generous. Side salads often end up as the next days lunch as a result of size. I got a Philly cheese steak sandwich and it earned the name with taste and size.

    We arrived about a half hour before our reservation, and they were very willing to accommodate us early. We chose the devour menu and value for the price was excellent.

    This was my first time here and I'll definitely be back! We did a "progressive lunch" as a team outing for work and this was our first stop and it was perfect. The brisket hummus was unexpected and OUTSTANDING!!!
