Indy Loop:
Indy Loop:Chef Joseph’s at the Connoisseur Room
115 East Ohio Street, Indianapolis
Prices start at just the cost of food and drinks.

PunchBowl Social
120 South Meridian Street, Indianapolis
Prices vary based on space reserved.
Not your average baby shower! Punch Bowl Social is perfect for the young at heart mom-to-be and her friends. Reserve a table for a meal and then play at available areas, or book a VIP bowling lane, a karaoke room or shuffle board table and play the day away. Bonus: You don’t even have to search for the punch recipe, they’ve got you covered!
Easley Winery
205 North College Avenue, Indianapolis
$5 per person for a tour and wine tasting. Please contact Easley in advance to make arrangements for groups larger than 8.
If a casual day with the girls (and guys) is this mom’s thing, plan a day at Easley Winery. Even though she won’t be downing the bottles the wine tour and relaxed atmosphere combine to make a lovely event setting. Summer months bring live music to Easley and gifts of wine will give the new mama something (else) to look forward to when baby arrives.
