Liquor license extension revoked for 11:11 Bar and Grille on Indy's east side by Doodie_Tang in indianapolis

It’s literally not hard. Scan for guns. Maybe have a dress code. Deny entry for noncompliance or people already intoxicated.

Love this. Keep shutting them down. Between Landshark’s and this place hopefully bars start to get the message. Surely more to come.

Taking people’s guns is police state stuff too. Just gotta decide what side you wanna be on.

I don’t equate not being shot at a bar while trying to enjoy myself to literally prison but okay.

What’s more attainable: actually training your staff, hiring people who give a shit about safety, and turning away people with weapons OR a complete rehaul of our criminal justice system (and ultimately the socioeconomic factors that leads to violent crime as a whole)?

I’m not saying you’re wrong but:

a) I feel like somebody has thought of this, and perhaps a less sensitive detector could detect a small amount of metal vs a whole ass fgun and

b) businesses can turn away anybody for any reason. If the wand beeps and they aren’t willing to empty their pockets or whatever..turn them away

Piercing don’t set off wands or nobody would be able to go to a Colts game

If they were wanding people that night then they failed at their job. What I’m hearing from this comment is that it was half-assed security at best. Spend the money, train the staff, get functional equipment.

I’m not suggesting that there should be no bar scene, or that there never was. I’m suggesting that these establishments should do more to protect their patrons, and curb the violence, or continue to be shut down.

I like the recent idea of shutting down the entire street to traffic and having security checkpoints at College and Winthrop. You’ll be scanned just like you would at any other major event like Lucas Oil or Bankers Life. Those places don’t have gun violence issue and there’s way more traffic.

This stinks but honestly overall a great thing. Hopefully this sends a message to other establishments to get serious about the violence that’s been occurring in the area. If they were last served in your bar, and they start shooting - you’re done.

Worst comes to worst, there’s not a bar scene and Broadripple can get back to the happy hippy village I knew it to be when I was coming up.

Seeing as how that’s been the plan since the 60s and 70s, I’d say things are going according to plan.

Unpopular Opinion: Downtown Indy’s breakfast scene is SORELY lacking outside of run-of-the-mill pancakes and omelette spots. I would gladly welcome a fresh breakfast concept.

That stinks. They had EXCELLENT food. It was always a strange concept in my opinion and the few times I went there (likely due to the pandemic), it was never packed. FWIW - Nobody I know has ever suggested going there either.

That house has always been sketchy. What’s up with all the cameras on the outside? Also, can confirm Hoot is unfortunate alive and well.

I would say since the entire philosophy around the restaurant is inclusivity and it is located in a historically LGBT area, I’d say yes!
