Broad Ripple is set to get a fresh sports and entertainment option in May, when Fishers-based Stick & Hack opens a second location in the village. The multi-activity spot will combine golf simulators, pro-grade racing rigs, electronic darts, a full-service bar and an outdoor patio, with local partners running the food program. Organizers say the concept is designed for neighbors who want a solid night out without tacking on a long drive.
According to FOX59, the new Stick & Hack will land near the intersection of 46th Street and Winthrop Avenue in Broad Ripple, with opening targeted for May. "We wanted to build something that fits Broad Ripple and adds to it," owner Adam Grubb told the station, saying guests will be able to "race your friends" and "play a round of golf without leaving the neighborhood." FOX59 reports the Broad Ripple location will feature golf simulators, pro-grade racing simulators, electronic darts, a full-service bar and outdoor seating.
Stick & Hack launched its first indoor golf club in Fishers in late 2025 and promotes memberships, leagues and hourly bay bookings on the Stick & Hack website. The Fishers club helped the brand build a local following around simulator leagues and instruction, and the Broad Ripple address will become its second physical outpost in the Indianapolis market. For now, the company is still finalizing buildout details ahead of the planned spring opening.
Size and permits
State construction filings list a Stick & Hack project in Indianapolis with a tenant area of roughly 3,440 square feet and an estimated public occupancy near 136 people, suggesting a compact layout that leans heavily on simulators. The filing (SBC Project Number 456623) was submitted in September and offers a glimpse at how the Broad Ripple interior is expected to be configured. For those who like to track permits, the specifics are available in the state's online project records.
Food and drink
According to FOX59, Stick & Hack has teamed up with Half Liter BBQ and Nino's Pizza to handle the food program, pairing simulators and racing rigs with local comfort staples. Both operators are already familiar in the Broad Ripple dining scene, and the partnership keeps the menu rooted in neighborhood favorites rather than a generic national lineup. The arrangement positions the venue as both a game-forward hangout and a casual spot for groups and league nights.
Where this leaves Broad Ripple
Broad Ripple has been in flux in recent years as older music and bar venues shut their doors and new concepts arrive to chase evening crowds. Hoodline covered a notable example when the Casba's 40-year run ended, highlighting how the neighborhood's nightlife has been shifting. Stick & Hack's arrival points to a slightly different kind of destination for the village, one that aims at weekday and early-evening foot traffic as much as the traditional weekend rush.
Stick & Hack says it will share opening-day details and event calendars on the Stick & Hack website as buildout wraps up. Neighbors can expect more specifics in the coming weeks as the May timeline gets closer and the company nails down permits and programming.
