About Barringers Tavern (re-established 2019)
Barringers Tavern re-established in 2019 on S Meridian Street in Indianapolis, Indiana is a south side Marion County institution with a history that predates the 2019 reopening and a breaded pork tenderloin sandwich that regulars describe as colossal, hand-breaded, pounded to a perfect not-quite-paper-thin texture with a crunchy flaky flavorful breading that is never too thick or thin. That is the level of detail that comes from a south side Indianapolis crowd that takes its tenderloin seriously.
The tavern program covers arcade games, pool, and live music alongside the full bar with cold beers and creative cocktails. Late hours Thursday through Saturday until 2:00 AM and Sunday through Wednesday until midnight give Barringers a south side late-night dimension that the S Meridian corridor needs.
S Meridian Street is the traditional south side Indianapolis thoroughfare, a corridor that connects the city to the Southport and Greenwood communities to the south. Barringers at 2535 S Meridian sits in the residential south side where neighborhood taverns have been the community anchor for generations.
For anyone on the south side of Indianapolis or building a Marion County late-night tenderloin circuit, Barringers Tavern at 2535 S Meridian St is the re-established institution that came back in 2019 and earned its colossal tenderloin reputation all over again.
