2015 Ale Emporium Steak Night

What has become the mainstay of many members Tuesday night dinner routine is this 'meal deal' that was found by Bill & Cheryl R, who first invited club members. This weekly event, that started early in the fall of 2014, takes advantage of the Ale Emporium's $6.95 bacon wrapped fillet with baked potato, soup, & salad Tuesday night special. Ale Emporium address is 8617 Allisonville Rd, Indianapolis, IN, 46250, just East of Allisonville and North of 86th Street. Club members usually try to get there between 5:30 to 6:00 to get seating and the special, as both are limited. Corvette parking is somewhat limited close to the restaurant so 'metal' cars are usually driven to this event. You can be assured that some Corvette Indy members will be there as long as the steak dinner special is available.

Everyone had steak and here's some pictures of the people that were there. Always a good time good friends good food and of course the best price in town thanks to all who came.

09/09/2015
With the meeting on Tuesday at Lincoln Tech Bill stopped by to check on the Ale Emporium's remodeling project the next day. Based on whet he saw and was told the room will be open on Thursday 9/10 and therefore ready for the club on future Steak Nights!

09/01/2015
We had 10 people show up and everyone enjoyed the steak. They're making more progress on the remodeling of the dining room. Our server this week was Clark. We had two first-timers, Marian's brother, John Rash and his wife Sherry. They have an outstanding red 1960 Vette with 800 hp. We talked to them about joining the club. There is also a picture of Allisonville Road construction which is getting near completion.

08/25/2015
This week's group was a bit smaller as only 9 members decided to come by and eat steak. From the pictures you can see that they finally got the floor poured so starting to make a little progress on the remodeling. Of course looking down at the tables wondering who's coming to dinner, and a selfie of Bill. Janet again took good care of the small group with her usual smile. As always a lot of great conversation for an enjoyable evening.

08/18/2015
A group of 15 members and friends made it out for the weekly dinner. New to the group this evening were members Gary & Marian (only Vette pictured)  and Barb a friend of Bill & Cheryl (who was there this week). This week's selfie had Bill displaying his new Corvette Indy shirt. Only addition to the construction is a pile of dry wall, maybe more progress soon. With enough seats setup everyone ate steak and the server was again Janet. Another good evening with great friends and very reasonably priced dinners.

08/11/2015
Here's a selfie of Bill outside of the restaurant proving he was there, the empty tables ready for 'who's coming to dinner' and the remodeling which seems to be going slow. The only thing he could see were some new windows. Our server tonight was Jessica. Everyone had steak except for Pam, who had grilled chicken Caesar salad which looked delicious. We had about 10 people show up. Good conversation good food still the best price in town.

Bill's second selfie has him waiting with the empty tables along with Janet, the same server as last week A total of 13 people showed up and all had steak. The rest the photos show the group eating and enjoying their evening. There was also a visitor tonight, his name was Keith Riley. He had heard about us at Drive N Dunk and also checked out things online and has two Corvettes. We may see him soon at one of the meetings. Dick & Bonnie and Doug & Arminta showed up late so they had to sit at a table by themselves. So even if you can't make the early time, a seat will be found for you. Everyone had a great time with good food and conversation and of course everyone appreciates the great price!
07/21/2015
With a selfie of Bill out front of the restaurant and other pictures of the remodeling that's moving forward Steak night was official.

Everyone had steak except for Susie who had the Hermanaki wings. The Ale Emporium is under some construction so there are pictures show that the main door we usually go through is directing us to an alternate door.

07/07/2015
We had a small crowd tonight of only nine but it was good conversation with good friends and good food. Our server was Janet. She was excited to tell us that she was at the Carmel parade with her three daughters and saw all of the Corvettes and they loved it.

Weather looked a little threatening but that didn't stop 14 people from showing up to eat steak. First picture is of the tables with no people and just wondering who's coming then as you can see people began to show up. Great conversation a lot about the 500 track event and pole day and GM sponsored events at the track.

05/12/2015
There was a small group, on a rather nice evening weather wise, as only 10 members showed up for the weekly get together. Everybody had steak except for Jim & Pam as they had a deep dish pizza. Tori announced this was her last steak night as she's moving on to possibly Florida or Texas. She also works for Finish Line in Greenwood and they are transferring her to a new location.
Notice Dick pulling rabbit ears up behind Greg instead of doing a 'selfie' this week. It was kind of a quiet group tonight but everybody, as always, had a good dinner and great conservation.
On Thursday night Bill headed back for dinner as it was Tori's last evening working at Ale Emporium.


05/05/2015

04/21/2015
Tables were all set up just waiting for the group total of 16 people to arrive for this weeks steak night. Among those attending were the first members of Corvette Indy, William and Sharon A, along with Mike & Shirley B who had just returned from wintering in Florida.
This was Mike & Shirley's first time and they really enjoyed it. One person had a grilled chicken spinach salad while all others had steak. If you grew up in the 60s you knew the character rat Fink, Bill's friend Stuart brought an original signed drawing by Ed Roth. The final picture is of Bill and Tori with her new hairdo.
04/14/2015
A nice evening brought out 19 members and a guest to Steak Night, with one couple opting for a delicious looking pizza. As always conversations were varied from one end of the table to the other, including that Phil V has a 8 week old black lab puppy. Bill and his friend Stewart reminisced about hooking up a sled to the back of Bill's 73 Corvette in the winter and pulling it around Brookside Park. As can be seen, Tori did not have on her club T-shirt. She was very sorry that she could not wear it she had just come from the hospital she had been stung by a bee and was had allergic reaction so maybe next time.

With the weather going out like a lamb 4 Corvettes and 25 members headed to the Castleton Mall area for the weekly steak night treat. Included in the group were even a few of our returning snowbirds, Mel & Norma. Most of the group had a steak dinner but there was one couple that sampled the pubs pizza, to their delight. Also to celebrate Armenta's recent birthday she was presented her own bottle of Heinz 57!

The steak night group returned to Ale Emporium in good numbers with 18 members enjoying the evening. Weather was not an issue this week, but road construction on Allisonville did back things up a bit. The gift bag was for Arminta who celebrated her birthday Tuesday.
Dick took a 'selfie', looks like he needs to get his finger off of the lens. Tori was again the club's server and was happy to have the group back.
03/17/2017 Jason's Deli
Due to St. Paddy's Day the steak night group headed to Jason's Deli in Carmel to celebrate without 'green' beer. With nice weather several Corvettes also made the trip to the fairly wide-open parking lot. With 15 members the group moved a number of tables together and had great sandwiches, salads and soup for a change of pace. Plans are to head back to Ale Emporium next week for steaks that will be back on Ale's menu.
