621 Virginia Ave
Indianapolis, IN 46203

Dugout Bar, a beloved neighborhood establishment in Indianapolis, has been a community staple since its founding in 1954 by Jack and Gwen Wagner. Known for its rich history, the bar was initially famous for Jack's fastpitch softball team, which was considered one of the best in the city during the 1950s and 60s.

After several ownership changes, Nick Baxter and Layton John took over the Dugout in June 2017, eager to continue its legacy. The bar remains a vibrant gathering place, offering a welcoming atmosphere and a menu that now includes online ordering options.
