Absolutely the best fish and chips in Indy. Try the haggis - it's an amazing chorus - not dissimilar from the 'Jet Song' scene from West Side Story. A…

Great food and atmosphere. When you go (notice WHEN) you have to have the Scottish Egg. You won’t be sorry.
Great time. We had a great time here. The food and people were what made the experience. Loved the Scottish menu (and beer) and were able to please one in our party who preferred vegan.I’m headed back there soon!
If you have to pick one place to eat in Indianapolis. ..This needs to be it!. I found this place by chance as a off handed semi recommendation of a good site for local beers. what I found was a great local beer selection and some really awesome food, I recommend the burger not because it is the size of a dinner plate but just the simple perfection can’t be bet.
Excellent service, great food, great beer. I highly recommend
Hey Egg Drop Erin, I thought this place was loud too! What’s up with that?. Okay, so other reviewers say that this place was loud too, and now I’ve come to the conclusion that although it could just be the sort of clientele that this place has, it might also have to do with acoustics. The conversation tone at the beginning of our drinks with friends was normal, but fast forward 30 minutes later and literally we were having to scream to be heard. Perhaps MacNiven’s is a sociologists dream because they would study the effects that when one group of people start talking loudly, then other groups also have to talk just as loudly to be heard. Then so on and so on until the whole place is one giant MegaDeath concert.Anyway, beer choices are somewhat skimpy IMO, but they do have many local beers which pleased me to no end. Being a Stout lover, I got a couple of each, prefering the Founder’s Breakfast Stout the best (coffee, chocolate and oatmeal flavors combined and served in a Port Glass?! Awesome!). Our waitress, a bartender, was quick and friendly and ready with suggestions. The bathroom was adorned with James Bond memorabilia. All in all, this place seems like it is lots of fun, but if you want conversation, it’s best to come in the afternoon lunch hour, for sure.
The service is really amazing.. Every service-person in this establishment gets an A+. If they’re slow enough the bartenders will try to remember your name and in the very least remember that time 2 months ago that you came in. The beer = Great. The Food = Fantastically comforting. I personally love the Beef stew and scotch eggs. That red pepper Aioli on anything is fabulous. The burger is interesting for sure.
Great Place. Service is wonderful. Stuart is a Gem. You should check it out. We go here to get away from our kids and have a bite. Great veggie chili. I love the beer and the atmosphere.
