THE BARS LEAGUE INDY FAVORITES

There is no place in America quite like Indianapolis in the Month of May.

This is the time of year when the city comes alive with speed, stories, tradition, and ritual — where everyone has their favorite driver, favorite beer car, and favorite bar to spend race week.

From Carb Day crowds on Georgetown Road to Speedway staples packed the night before the race, from iconic beer-sponsored Indy cars to local establishments filled with racing history, this is the month where Indy culture hits differently.

Whether you're an Indianapolis lifer or an out-of-town visitor looking for the perfect day or night in May, there are certain bars and certain cars that simply belong to the experience. We pulled together The Bars League's Top 4 Racing Bars and Top 4 Beer Cars that best capture the spirit of May.

These are our favorites — Now tell us yours.
