HandleBar Tours: Indy’s Award-Winning Team Building Experience

Leave boring corporate events in the dust and kick off your next company party with the HandleBar, Indy’s original pedal-powered (but yea, we have a motor assist) pub.

Come together as a team to pedal your way through downtown Indianapolis, sharing laughs, enjoying your favorite brews, and seeing the city streets from a new perspective. The team will *literally* work together to propel your tour through Indy. Don’t worry – we’ve got motors to do the heavy lifting so things stay fun.

Food & Drink

Don’t sweat the event catering — when your company parties at The Hangar, we’ve got you covered. Your team will love our pizzas fresh from our brick oven, with vegetarian and vegan options available for the plant-lovers in your group. We’ve also got salads, wraps, tendies and more. Opportunities are endless with our local catering partners we can arrange as well.

Our full-service bar offers local beer, wine and cocktails, as well as mocktails and other non-alcoholic options. Our bartenders are some of our favorite people, and we’re positive they’ll be some of yours, too.

Indoor Golf Simulators

Tee up for casual golf games the whole team will love, even if they’ve never set foot on a golf course. Make it fun (Hangar Value #2 btw) and play interactive games such as longest drive, closest to the pin, etc. Shoot for a high score and show your boss who’s really the boss on the green!

DIY Craft Classes

Unlock your team’s creativity with our DIY craft workshops. Choose a craft project for the team, and watch their ingenuity flow as they get hands-on with artwork they can take home with them. Formalities aside- this has been a GREAT way to get people engaged with one another.

Engagement

You are looking for ways to get your team excited and engaged.. You know, you and I aren’t all that different. See, we face the same challenges during our meetings with our team. Here are a few things we have done that you could do too when you Hang with us:

Custom T-shirts- fired from our stadium-quality cannon. Spice up your awards ceremonies folks!
Wood Burn signatures onto a picture frame to give to the VIP, retiree, etc. We can help you make things UNIQUE
Create custom messaging on our super cool analog arrivals/departures board. You can program it to say what you want, when you want. It’s pretty fun to see reactions when an employee sees something unique for them on the board.
Unique QR codes on the bottoms of our pint glasses. Link the QR code to a video of team members expressing their gratitude for a job well done. Best part on this one- these QR codes are removable and magnetic, so the memories can easily live on at home on the fridge.
QR codes that link to a form to submit questions – we can provide a forum to allow everyone a voice, not just the squeakiest wheels.

How can I organize a corporate team-building experience in Indianapolis that’s fun and different?

Skip the Cookie-Cutter Venues

If you’re planning a team outing in Indianapolis, you already know the risk: a cookie-cutter hotel ballroom, chain establishments that lack local flare, and an event that feels more like work. That’s why the best corporate planners look for something unique, stress-free, and fun.

Start With an Experience That Loosens Everyone Up

Kick off your event on a HandleBar Shuttle and take advantage of our fleet of 16-passenger pedal pubs stocked with drinks. With us, the experience starts at your door, not ours! Offering pick-up and drop-off at local hotels and the convention center It’s the perfect icebreaker that gets people energized before they even arrive at the venue. And if your guests are visiting Indy, it’s a perfect little tour to see a bit more of the City on your way! For colder months, we can still take care of this for you thanks to our relationships with the best charter bus companies in the area!

Move Into a Space Built for Team-Building

At The Hangar, your group transitions into a massive event space designed for unforgettable experiences:

-Gaming Bay Room (3,000 sq. ft.) – Three 15-foot simulators with trackman golf (think-long drive contests, closest to the pin), Mario Kart, and even a flight simulator. Great for up to 150 guests.
-Full Venue Rental (7,500 sq. ft.) – Host receptions, team challenges, dining, or large-scale events with plenty of room for creativity. We’ve done events over 1,000 people with closure of the local street for a full scale party!

What are the benefits of hosting a corporate event at a bar or experiences venue versus more traditional venues?

–Unique atmosphere: Themed Indy decor and lively environments that stand out

How far in advance should I book a corporate event venue in Indianapolis?

For venues like Hangar Indy, we generally recommend booking at least 6–8 weeks in advance for standard weekday events.

Our goal is to make your off-site event as smooth and impactful as possible, from arrival to departure.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Yes! Please just let us know what they are and we will custom make foods for the individuals who request it. We find this to be a creative way to make those individuals feel welcome vs. providing them a single option that goes stale throughout an event. Its part of our values of turning challenges into opportunities!

What's included in the rental cost?

Gaming simulator venue rentals include your games, like golf simulators, flight simulators, interactive darts, Mario Kart, etc.

What's not included in the rental cost?

More unique and costly add-ons like custom T-shirt making (yes you can actually have your guests make custom T-shirts in your branding on site and shoot with our stadium-grade T-shirt cannon), or crafting (pint glass painting and wood burning are available).

What type of events has Hangar Indy hosted?

As varietal as our experiences are, our guests are even more diverse. We’ve hosted local companies looking for teambuilding activities, CEOs for some of the world's biggest companies and their teams, even convention parties for 1,000+ people! We’ve been the official tailgate for colleges such as University of Michigan, Oregon and Tennessee, just to name a few. In just a few short years, we’ve executed hundreds of events for some of the biggest companies in the world. Large or small one thing is in common- Humans crave connection, experience and something unique they’ve not done before. Yes we’ve got delicious brick oven pizza, a full bar and awesome venue, but it’s our hospitality and team that pulls it off that we are most proud of.
