Ale Emporium's New West Side Location Opens Just in Time for March Madness

Ale Emporium is dipping its wing into Hendricks County with the opening of their new Avon location at 7510 Beechwood Centre Road. As of March 9th, the restaurant, bar, and patio off of Rockville road is open just in time to catch the 2026 NCAA Big 10 Championships. 

Ale Emporium originated in Castleton and has since grown to locations around the city known for their Hermanaki Wings and Honest Pizza.

“For years people have told us they drive across town just for Hermanaki wings,” said Scott Baun, co-owner of Ale Emporium. “Opening in Avon lets us bring Ale Emporium closer to a lot of those guests. Hendricks County has a great local energy, and we’re excited to become part of the community and give people a place to watch games, hear live music and hang out with friends and family.”

Key features of the Avon location include:

• 12,000-square-foot restaurant with family dining area, 21-and-over bar and covered patio
• 36 beer taps featuring a diverse selection of local, domestic and imported beers
• 136-inch LED screen above a stage to host musicians
• More than 100 TVs throughout the establishment 
• A separate, dedicated carryout space for convenient pickup

The new location is the result of a collaborative design and construction effort between Theory Interior Design, Curran Architecture, Mill Creek Engineering, Technology Interiors and Allen Commercial Group, which is serving as the project’s general contractor.

Ale Emporium first opened in Castleton in 1982 and has since become a beloved Indianapolis institution, known for its world-famous Hermanaki Wings, Honest Pizza and unmatched sports bar experience.
