Indigo Joe's Sports Pub & Restaurant is much more than an average sports bar and grill.We have created a unique niche. We are, most importantly, a family oriented restaurant, one that just happens to specialize in sports.

Most sports pubs do well during the intense fall sports season, but during the rest of the year business can drop off dramatically. Indigo Joe's has positioned itself as a quality family restaurant first. An excellent, varied menu allows you to compete with other restaurants on an even playing field all year round. Our great salads, wines, steaks and burgers help to create a place far removed from the typical male dominated, smoke-filled environment normally associated with run-of-the-mill sports bar concepts. The enclosed kids' game room makes Indigo Joe's a fun, happy place for all the family. Our immaculate restrooms, well-lighted interior and comfortable seating attract a variety of customers and keep them coming back.

But don't think Indigo Joe's doesn't take its sports seriously. Far from it! Indigo Joe's is committed to being the very best place for fans to view their favorite sports teams. Team banners are grouped by conference and region, so fans feel comfortable. Our focus on college and professional sports ensures no one is left out when it comes to being in the middle of the action. Many fans enjoy visiting our famous 'coaches wall', with customized, autographed pictures of some of the most prolific sports figures in the public eye.

Indigo Joe's is also committed to being technologically ahead of the game, with plasma, high definition and large screen televisions strategically positioned so every fan has the best seat in the house. State-of-the-art, wireless voice boxes bring the sound of the game directly to each table and every guest.
