Maybe not the best guide, someone usually posts better, but here's 
a guide with quite a few options for eats and drinks.

Whatever you do, do not go to Weber Grill. You might be ahead of me in line and cause me to have to wait longer for my delicious meatloaf that I look forward to all year :)

I almost want to suggest this seriously. Went last year on Wednesday night. Experience was awful and food not great. But they reduced everything 25% and one of the group ate for free so that might be a plus?

This is the second time I have seen a link to that guide and excitedly clicked it only to be like "seriously, an unannotated list of restaurants in Indianapolis?  Is this a webpage from 1996?"  I do grant it would probably be useful if I wanted to look at options before the convention started but damn, otherwise, there really should be a better guide out there somewhere.

Here's an interesting vegan restaurant that's about a mile north of the ICC:

Black Leaf Vegan Cafe

I know what you mean about needing a better guide, though. I did a quick google search, and all I could find were recommendations and reviews from before the pandemic. :(

Yeah for real, a lot has changed since 2019.  This is part of why I have dedicated myself to staying in a different downtown hotel every time I go to Indianapolis for any reason, because I want to try to experience everything post-pandemic so I can build up my own library of recommendations in lieu of any authoritative sources, haha.

Social Cantina (it's right around the corner!) is bringing it back the themed restaurant!!!! They are going to have themed nights with old movie marathons, they just posted! They'll have swag as well! The post said, Thursday is Star Trek, Friday is a fusion of D&D, Super Smash and Sonic, Saturday is Star Wars, Sunday is Superheroes. They redesigned their menu and have special cocktails for the weekend! Count me in for the Star Wars marathons!!!!
