Indianapolis Restaurants, Hotels, Nightclubs, Caterers & Banquet Halls

Located on historic Massachusetts Ave., in the heart of the arts district, this restaurant is unlike any other.

Opened in August of 2002, Scholars Inn is a 310-seat restaurant complete with two custom bars, two private dining spaces, an outdoor back patio with a 17-feet, dual directional fireplace and plenty of private parking in the heart of downtown Indy.

This "second generation" Gourmet Cafe and Wine Bar is a historic renovation gem. The century old 2-story building is located in downtown Indianapolis' Massachusetts Avenue arts district, an active corridor of galleries, theaters, shops, restaurants, and bars.

Whether it is for lunch, dinner, late night desserts or our Champagne Sunday Brunch, at the Scholars Inn, it’s all about having a great time while you dine.

In a nutshell, Scholars Inn Gourmet Cafe and Wine Bar is eclectic (menu mix of influences), gourmet (staples from meatloaf to chops prepared uniquely), art (food presentation, atmosphere), and value (entrees $13 - $36 including starch and vegetable; not a la carte). Further add hard working employees, an award winning wine list and a fun; unpretentious setting and you get a locally owned restaurant unique to Indianapolis.

The Canterbury Hotel in Indianapolis is Indiana's only member of the prestigious Preferred Hotels and Resorts Worldwide. A registered historic landmark, the Canterbury offers the finest in European hotel traditions.

The Canterbury Hotel first opened in 1928 as the Lockerbie Hotel, the towering 12-story facility drew guests from the then bustling Union Station nearby. Today, Circle Centre adjoins the hotel on the Mezzanine level. Guests enjoy the convenience of the private entrance providing direct access to the mall. The variety of upscale shops and restaurants combined with the resurgence of downtown Indianapolis has provided an unparalleled opportunity for Canterbury guests.

With dedication to the past and a promise towards the future, the Canterbury has introduced an elevated standard of service to the city’s hotel industry.
