Dugout Bar

Dugout Bar has been a cherished part of the Indianapolis community since 1954, originally founded by Jack and Gwen Wagner. Known affectionately as Wagner's Dugout, this bar blossomed into a local favorite, famous for its fast pitch softball team sponsored by Jack Wagner himself. Over the decades, the bar has transformed but maintained its charm as a welcoming spot for card games, horse betting, and camaraderie among friends. After various ownerships, the current owners, Nick Baxter and Layton John, have revitalized the Dugout since June 2017, blending tradition with modern comforts. With a focus on community feel and friendly service, it’s not just a bar; it’s a gathering place where locals share stories over drinks.
