Football season is here + the countdown to the Colts’ kickoff is on. We’ve got the 411 on when and where to catch all the action around Indianapolis.

Whether you’re a Colts, Hoosiers, or Boilermakers fan — here’s where to watch football games in Indianapolis.

Tavern on South | 802 S. West St.
This little brick building was built in 1910 and sits in the shadow of Lucas Oil Stadium. Formerly known as Stadium Tavern, Tavern on South is a hole-in-the-wall spot that features a 60-seat second level deck that looks out to the downtown skyline.

The Bulldog Bar & Lounge | 5380 N. College Ave.
You may recognize this Broad Ripple staple as the site of former Moe & Johnny’s, which closed during the pandemic after 20+ years. The old favorite made a comeback as The Bulldog featuring a full-service bar with two 24-tap walls for self-serve beer, plus a bourbon lounge.

The Dugout | 621 Virginia Ave.
This sports bar in the Fountain-Fletcher District has been offering a relaxed atmosphere for watching sports since 1954. It’s a go-to spot for cheap drinks, good food, and plenty of seats for watching the game. If you don’t need a TV screen, it also has a spacious outdoor patio.

The Slippery Noodle Inn | 372 S. Meridian St.
Known as one of the oldest operating bars in Indiana, The Slippery Noodle Inn has been around since the 1850s + has served as a bar, restaurant, theater, and a stop on the Underground Railroad. Located right by Lucas Oil Stadium, it offers a Colts pregame special and Game Day brunch and reserved seating.

Do you have your tickets yet? There are five main ticket options — Season Tickets, Single Game tickets, Premium Seating tickets, FanDuel Fan Pass tickets, and Group Seating tickets. Prices start at $28 for select single games. The ticket office is located at 7001 W. 56th St.

    Last week, we asked you what your go-to activity with friends is. Here’s what you said:

    A photo showing the exterior of a building that was once a Coca-Cola bottling plant but is now a food hall.

    For a casual dinner, we like Clancy’s Hamburgers for its fries and classic root beer float.

    • “Concerts.” Outdoor concert season isn’t over yet. We recommend checking out Levitt VIBE or seeing a show at Everwise Amphitheater this month at White River State Park.
    • “Live music.” The live music scene is truly unmatched in our area — from bass to bluegrass to Beethoven, there’s a stage for any type of tune. Check out our guide to live music venues.
    • “Game nights.” You can’t go wrong with a game night from the comforts of your own home. If you’re looking for a new game to add to the shelf, check out these shops.
    • “Meet for coffee.” A good catch-up sesh with your bestie is best served over a cup of coffee. Plan your next coffee date.
    • “Have a casual dinner, then a see movie or go to a bar + play pinball games.” This sounds like a Bottleworks outing to us. Casual dinner at The Garage Food Hall where there’s something for everyone, then a movie at Living Room Theaters or hang out at Pins.
