The Rathskeller
Best German Restaurant in Indianapolis · IN
Schnitzel and steins in a landmark hall since 1894.
The Rathskeller fills the cellar of Indianapolis's landmark Athenaeum — a German cultural house built in the 1890s — and has served Bavarian food and beer there for generations. Vaulted stone rooms, a Kellerbar of imported drafts, and a summer Biergarten with live music make it the city's definitive German hall.
A piece of living history inside the Athenaeum, it's the 2025 Centurion Award winner in Indianapolis.
