The Mousetrap is one of Indy’s oldest north side watering holes. Since 1957 we’ve been slinging strong drinks and serving up great food. In the early 70’s we began serving our famous beef stew and the same people come back time after time for another super hot helping.
In recent years we've added lots of TVs (20+), a 140″ Hi-def big screen, new windows, carpet and an overall make-over. The stew was brought back to it’s original recipe and the rest of the menu was revamped.
We now offer Huge Hot Wings, Hand Patted Burgers, Fresh Breaded Tenderloins, Pizza and a *Healthy Menu* as well as homemade daily specials such as Kanda’s Famous Meatloaf or Chicken Salad and our Homemade Soups.
With 4 pool tables, a ping-pong table, video games, dart boards and dozens of board games, there is always something to do.
Most importantly, we brought in live original music. Concentrating on jam bands, we have played host to numerous up and coming bands from around the country, as well as many that are already very well established.
This place has a vibe and soul that’s electric. Bands can’t wait to come back and there are always more fans to greet them at their next show.
**Sundays - Enjoy a Bloody Mary w/ some Bluegrass. At 8pm, Flatland Harmony Experiment hosts an open session of kick-ass Bluegrass. In warm weather, we even jam out on the deck as we grill out. Yes, Sunday Funday indeed. Bring your instrument or voice and join in (no drums please).
