Sun King Brewery

Brighten dad’s whole day by taking him to Sun King Brewery, located right in Downtown Indy. This all-ages location features a great outdoor atmosphere, a lengthy draft list, and tasty eats from Nacho by La Margarita, an Indianapolis-based Mexican eatery - nachos and tacos and burritos, oh my! If you can’t choose between brews, try out the brewery's very special flight boards, which allow you to sample any 4 beers, slushies, or Sun King Spirits.
