about us
There is no better place to BE, than bar ellis!
Located in beautiful Downtown Noblesville, Indiana. The “ellis” name comes from the phonetical sound of the letters L.S…which stands for “little sis”.
Owned and operated by Chef Bill Wampler, wife Lisa Wampler, and sister Chamron Baird, it’s definitely a family affair here at bar ellis.
We serve casual yet upscale comfort food such as Chef Bills famous Chicken and Noodles, Pork Schnitzel and Bacon Wrapped Shrimp appetizer!
Our vegan and vegetarian menu offers plant-based options for our diners as well as craft cocktails & mocktails, wine, beer and the best house-made desserts around.
bar ellis has loads of charm, being located inside of a historical 1890, skinny brick building on the south side of the square. We are only 17 feet wide, so cozy is our middle name! Enjoy our 2 bars, 3 season rooftop patio, and outdoor alley seating when weather permits.
The fun doesn’t end when dinner is over at BE. Join us for late night bites and drinks, with live entertainment during our “after dark” hours when the lights go down and the music goes up!
Be sure to follow us on social media to see our live entertainment events, such as Comedy Nights, DJ’s, Local Musicians and more.
