About The Corner Bar
The Corner Bar on S Meridian Street in Indianapolis, Indiana is a south side Marion County pub at the corner of Epler and IN-135, about six minutes south of I-465. A reviewer called it probably the best tenderloin they have ever had: light breading with incredible flavor, accompanied by fries they rated above Five Guys and Penn Station. That is a specific and confident set of comparisons from someone who has done the regional eating.
The tenderloin is not a pork fritter: reviewers specifically note it is thick and substantial, not thin, with a golden crispy breading that delivers crunch and flavor without overwhelming the pork. The live music program, daily specials, and outdoor deck give The Corner Bar a neighborhood pub identity that suits the south Indianapolis community it serves. Open seven days a week from 11:00 AM with late Friday hours until 1:00 AM.
The S Meridian Street address on the south side puts it near the Southport and Barringers Tavern corridor, completing a south Marion County tenderloin circuit with meaningful stops at each end.
For anyone on the south side of Indianapolis or building a late-night Marion County tenderloin run, The Corner Bar at 5506 S Meridian St is the six-minutes-from-465 stop where someone found their personal best. The fries are part of the experience.
