Bar Ellis has the recipe for success! There’s something for everyone on their menu. Make sure you save room for the Peanut Butter Pops! Their staff was excellent…we will be returning soon.

Hands down the best food and ambience in Noblesville. Amazing downtown city vibes and killer views. They have mastered the quaint small town feel where it feels like you’re part of the family. The after dark events are so much fun with live music and comedy. This place is a must see and my families go to spot!! Don’t sleep on the place to BE!

Bar Ellis by far is my favorite restaurant. The food and service is beyond compare. I like it so much that I was excited to introduce the restaurant to two groups of friends. Both of those introductions were in the same week. The menu has so many great options that I would keep going back even in the same week.

We love Bar Ellis! Every dish is well thought out and executed perfectly. Not one miss on their menu. Definitely try the salted caramel espresso martini, chef’s kiss!

My friend and I went here just for a night out. To grab drinks and something to eat. The service, drinks and food were amazing. We will definitely be back.

Ate at Bar Ellis for the second time, and it definitely didn’t disappoint! Great food, great atmosphere, and outstanding service. From the moment we walked in until we left, the staff was welcoming, accommodating, and professional.

The timing of each course was spot on, and everything was cooked perfectly. I had the ribeye, and it was absolutely spot on. We’ll definitely be back again!

My husband and I have been coming to Bar Ellis since they’ve opened and quickly became one of our favorite spots! We love all the vegan options!

First time in Bar Ellis yesterday. We had a nice time and decided that we would go back here again. Our waitress, Skylar, did a wonderful job and made sure we didn’t have any questions about anything and also offered us the happy hour menus since we were still within the window for happy hour. She did a great job as we did not want for anything.

We ordered appetizers off of the happy hour menu. My friend ordered the shrimp and I ordered the ahi tuna and both dishes were excellent, I would order either one of them again. We both started our meal with a drink called Yes Chef, I thought this drink was just okay nothing spectacular. I liked the second cocktail that I ordered much better, it was Pucker Up, Buttercup. My friend though enjoyed the first cocktail better and ordered it again.

I ordered the gumbo for my main and my friend ordered another appetizer of edamame and she said it was delicious. The gumbo was fine I probably would not order it again so next time I will seek out something different on the menu.

We both ordered dessert to go and I have to say mine did not make it home! The wedding cake was moist and so delicious and had a raspberry coulis and filling. Definitely would get this dessert again!

Like a lot of businesses in the downtown Noblesville area this bar and restaurant was in an old building that was really cool to look at, it was an old brick building. I think it is worth your time to give it a try and we will definitely be back.

Bar Ellis is hands down one of the best restaurants I’ve eaten at in a long time!

We’ve tried so many new restaurants lately, and honestly, we’ve been disappointed more times than not. The food is just okay, the service is lacking, or the atmosphere misses the mark. Going out to eat is expensive these days, so when you find a place that gets everything right, it’s worth talking about.

Bar Ellis got EVERYTHING right.

We started with the spinach dip (the famous 10 West recipe) and the crab rangoon appetizer, and both were amazing. Then I had the beef tips, which were absolutely incredible. Without a doubt, the best beef tips I’ve ever eaten.

Our server, Sean, was fantastic. He was funny, kind, attentive, and genuinely seemed to enjoy taking care of his guests. Great service makes a huge difference, and Sean made the experience even better.

The restaurant itself is beautiful. I love that it’s two levels, and the outdoor patio is such a great place to relax & eat. The atmosphere feels fun, welcoming, and upscale without being stuffy.

Another huge bonus is their happy hour. It’s one of the best around, and the fact that they offer it on weekends is almost unheard of.

And don’t skip dessert! They feature a different cake flavor every week, and every slice we’ve had has been unbelievable. Honestly, it’s better than any cake I’ve had anywhere locally.

Food: 5 stars Service: 5 stars Atmosphere: 5 stars

Food & cocktails are incredible! I’m working my way through the cocktail menu and love each one. Not only are they delicious but they’re a form of art too. Plus the space is beautiful and welcoming too.

When Plan A Falls Through, Sometimes You Find Something Better
Our original restaurant choice was closed for the month. Time for a pivot.

My father-in-law works downtown Noblesville and suggested we try Bar Ellis. Little did we know, we were about to stumble into one of the best dining experiences we’d had in a long time.

Walking through the door, I was immediately struck by the interior. Historic brick walls met comfortable, chic modern design. The space was warmly lit and welcoming, and fortunately, so was the team at Bar Ellis.

The hostess seated us quickly, and Grant, our server, arrived moments later with drink menus and a genuine smile. Then came the real challenge: helping my non-seafood-eating wife find a gluten-free option she’d actually enjoy.

After a thoughtful conversation with Grant, she made her choice. I followed, excitedly ordering the salmon BLT. “Is this one any good?” I asked.

Grant’s face said it all. I was in for a treat.

He wasn’t exaggerating. My sandwich was one of the best I’ve ever had. The salmon was perfectly prepared. The bacon was crisp and full of flavor. The bread was toasted just right, crispy but not too thick. Every element worked in harmony: the crunch of the bread, the tenderness of the salmon, the crisp bacon, all elevated by a dill mayo that tied everything together.

I know it’s “just” an elevated BLT. But it’s the best one I’ve ever had. I was genuinely sad when it was over. It was one of those rare meals that left me wishing I could be hungry all over again.

As we finished, I sought out the manager, Chamron. She greeted me warmly and asked how everything was. After sharing my compliments about the food and service, I asked about the story behind Bar Ellis.
She smiled and told me about two sisters and a brother-in-law, a chef with a passion for exceptional food and desserts, who dreamed of creating a restaurant that was both classy and hip.

Then she shared something unexpected: Bar Ellis transforms on Friday and Saturday nights from 9 PM to midnight. Friday features karaoke, Saturday brings live music, and the whole place shifts to a 21-and-over scene. Even the lighting changes, creating a darker, moodier atmosphere.

The scratch kitchen stays open throughout, so you won’t miss out on that incredible food. I’m usually too old to be out that late, but I just might need to make an exception to experience this transformed space and enjoy that delicious salmon BLT again.

If you’re looking for a restaurant that’s genuinely cool, serves exceptional food, and employs a team that actually cares about your experience, check out Bar Ellis in downtown Noblesville.

You won’t regret it.

Had an amazing experience at Bar Ellis in Noblesville! The vegan options are top-notch. Tried the vegan breaded tenderloin, and it was incredibly flavorful. Highly recommend for anyone looking for delicious plant-based dishes!
