Today:
The Mousetrap is one of Indy's oldest north side watering holes. Since 1957 we've been slinging strong drinks and serving up great food. In the early 70's we began serving our famous beef stew and the same people come back time after time for another super hot helping. In 2002, I bought the Mousetrap and gave the old place quite an overhaul. We added lots of TVs, a huge 120" Hi-def big screen, 4 other HD TVs, new windows, carpet and an overall make-over. The stew was brought back to it's original recipe and the rest of the menu was revamped. We now offer a huge menu of pub fare, burgers and pizza, as well as homemade daily specials such as Kandas famous meatloaf and Karrus' homemade soups. With 5 pool tables, video games, dart boards and dozens of board games, there is always something to do. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, we even have a "Cash Payout Poker tourney". Most importantly, we brought in live original music. Concentrating on jam bands, we have played host to numerous up and coming bands from around the midwest, as well as many that are already very well established. Though considered small (a couple hundred +), the place has a vibe and soul that's electric. Bands can't wait to come back and there are always more fans to greet them at their next show. The word is out! Come see for yourself. Check out our calender below or go to Jambase or IndianapolisMusic.net for what is coming up.
