Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots for Exquisite Cocktails in Indiana

Beth Smith

We recently had a great group dinner at Malibu. Excellent experience and fantastic food. I had the Hawaiian Ribeye, my spouse had the salmon- both delectable! Everybody in our group was happy with their choices. Our server, Maddie S. was phenomenal! She served our large table (and many others!) with a smile! Most impressively, was her ability to get our complex orders right with the several modifications we seemed to make in our big group. If Malibu could make any menu updates: I would love to see a few more gluten free options on the menu, as well as some non-alcoholic spirits/mocktails. Thanks!

We chose this spot ahead of time to meet up with a friend from Michigan somewhere along our path from Cleveland to Chicago. The menu showed an Impossible burger and gluten free buns, so we figured it was a good choice for everyone meeting up. Upon arrival, the hostess was very friendly and accommodating to seat us outside on one of the patios. The menu didn't list if the gluten free buns were vegan, so I had to ask our server. Upon arrival to our table, our server, Ariana, immediately appeared irritated to be there. After she brought us our waters, one of my kids asked about the French fries and she told her in a fairly clipped manner that they were not gluten free. My daughter asked if it was simply due to a shared fryer. To which her response was to roll her eyes and tell her that it was because they had wheat in them. My daughter asked if that meant they were coated, to which she received another eye roll followed by a yes. My daughter said not to worry about a side then. When it was my turn, I asked for the Impossible burger and asked if the gluten free bun was gluten free. I got a similar response with an eye roll. I asked her what was in the fruit side and then asked if we could just have that instead since we couldn't have the fries. I was told yes. However, when I got the bill, I realized later that she charged me extra for the fruit. Which she definitely shouldn't have due to both burgers not getting fries and mine not getting a bun either. One of my kids said their food was fine, but the other was less than thrilled with her burger and the fries. Two of them thought the sauces brought out were fairly odd and didn't taste good. We asked what was in them and she told us that they don't tell them the ingredients in anything so they have no idea. That was a huge red flag to me, as not knowing the ingredients means that someone found easily get something that could cause a food related reaction. Servers should either already know the ingredients, be able to get a hold of them or know for sure if an item may be an issue for those with dietary restrictions. Overall, it wasn't the great find I was hoping it would be.

Our experience here was fantastic. The food was equally fantastic.I love that this place offers allergy options such as gluten free and accommodates other allergies. They offer something for vegans too

Diane Cooper

Great place! Delicious gluten free options!

SERVICE? Phenomenal FOOD QUALITY? Phenomenal FOOD TASTE? Phenomenal They even have gluten free toast, pancakes, and waffles (although some cross contamination is inevitable, but the best part is that each waiter makes a point of explaining that to anyone ordering it gluten free) and even though it’s gluten free, IT STILL TASTES SO GOOD. I was in Bloomington for two full days and ate breakfast here both days. It was SO GOOD

Craig Malmloff

St Elmo's downtown still the best but like Harry and Izzy's a nice substitute closer to home. Our Gluten Free / Celiac crew were impressed. Waiter knew his stuff. Manager came out and explained how they prepare the food. Well done. The shrimp cocktail is amazing. Cleans out the sinuses. The steaks are so tender. Expensive but worth it.

Manda Beretta

This cafe is unique, fun, & enjoyable. The good is delicious with great options to choose from, including vegan & gluten free. The service is down-to-earth, warm, & friendly. Great dining experience!

Hailey

Reasonably priced food for ths atmosphere and food presentation/freshness. It was really good. The bacon was so yummy. They also have gluten free bread!

James Murdock

My family and I stopped in for lunch on our way home from the airport on a Saturday around noon. The restaurant was fairly busy, but the hostess gave us a friendly greeting and we were seated right away. Our server was great. He took our drink order and quickly returned to answer our questions and to take our food order. As we waited on our food, our server came back to refill our drinks was attentive. Our food arrived after close to an hour wait. My wife’s cheese melt on a gluten free bun was made with a regular bun so we had to send it back and have it remade. The overall appearance of our orders was good, as were the flavors. The portion sizes were large. It wasn’t a perfect experience but overall it was good. We’ll be back.

Abigail Van Houten

Get experience, friendly staff, delicious food, and so many choices. I very much appreciate the gluten-free options. I recommend 100%

Emily E

VERY GLUTEN FREE FRIENDLY! I saw Modita on TikTok and had to check out the hype. From the moment you walk in you are starting the experience. I went with a group of friends so we could properly have dim sum and it did not disappoint. They are able ti make a lot of dietary modifications! Did not take away from the meal. Also - Don’t forget it’s part of Cunningham restaurant group so if you have a free VIP account, you get points for spending! Pork Bao Buns were my favorite!

Steve Murray

We were in town to have dinner with daughter and her husband and their two high school children before we went to hear Dr. Tyson talk. The food was tasty the service was what made the evening so special. Took care of our people with gluten issues with the minimum of fanfare. It was the perfect place to have a meal with 3 generations in attendance. We had fun and everyone got their hearts desire to eat. Thank you all for making our meal together memorable.

Kathy Johnson

Stopped here for lunch while we were in town. The food was absolutely amazing and they have many gluten free options. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the neighborhood!

Michelle Gahimer

Jack was fantastic and made my food gluten free per my request

Chelsea H

The BEST Thai I have ever had, bar none. This restaurant is run and owned by women, which is an added bonus! Lots of options for vegetarians, vegans, pescatarians and those who avoid gluten. The menu gives suggestions for the spice level of each dish, but they let you customize from zero spice, to spicy. I ordered no spice so I could share with my husband who doesn’t like super hot food, but they gave me a small dish of chili pepper to make it spicier for myself. If you’re near Mass Ave and want an amazing meal, paired with expertly crafted cocktails, look no further.

Rachel Stein

I really enjoyed the cheesey gluten free “flatbread” that came with the goats cheese app, but the margarita and holliday pizzas were probably better on a gluten crust. the hamakers is probably good on both types of dough bc the topping combo is delicious. was a little busy outside, but waiter didn’t come speak with us very often (group of 4) on a Monday night. i had a great glass of white wine and the lighting inside is very nice.

Helen Wheels

Wow! We drove an hour to get here and it did NOT disappoint! The staff is friendly and helpful. We started with a Dou of Salsas and chips and had the Margarita de Casa. I got a trio of Steak Tacos - so good! Hubby ordered Scallops and Braised Short ribs... ge loved his, too. Lots of fun options and almost everything was good for a gluten free diet and plenty of choices for a vegetarian. We can't wait to come back and order other things! They have plenty of seating and a great outdoor area when the weather warms up. The vibe was casual and fun. Loved it!

Alexis Vine Hernandez

Such a cute place to eat! Handles gluten allergies very well. We had a table full of food and drinks and not a single picture was taken, we were too busy eating the delicious food! Our server was excellent as well and we were a little needy. We had two little kiddos with us and I was happily surprised by how family friendly it is. Changing tables in both bathrooms and toys in the market so we could browse while they played. We will be back!

Janna Hilligoss

We chose Nesst because of the extensive gluten-free items on the menu. The staff was attentive, but we had to keep reminding the my granddaughter’s need for gluten-free. She ended up receiving a dessert that contained gluten. Of course everyone was very apologetic, but it did not help with the aftermath of her being sick and missing two important days at university. Our family of seven and friends who have severe food allergies will not be returning.

We went after attending Disney on Ice at the Gainbridge Arena. We were staying at the Hyatt and wanted something in walking distance. We had called to see about going before the 7pm show and the girl was straight up honest that they had 2 big parties coming and they may not be able to seat us. We had come from IL so the time change meant we weren't starving so we went after the show. We got there around 8:45 it was one adult, one teen and one child. We each ordered a 8 inch pizza with exactly what we wanted and drinks. Then we ordered the gluten free crust to take back for the other mom and other child who ended up not feeling well during the show. I felt like our server was fabulous dealing with us that late after what had to have been a busy night and made sure my girls still felt special being out late like that for dinner. The pizza was one of the best I had had in a long time. The deep dish crust was perfectly done. The cauliflower crust was even good when I tried it at the hotel. My gluten free girl was pleasantly surprised at how good it was too. I highly recommend this place. Our only issue was I had to use flashlight to read the bill. (Dark and old lady vision.)

David Enyeart

Great food and drink selection. And a lot of gluten free items to choose from. Definitely a hidden gem in west central Indiana!

Anna Ciria

A spectacular bistro with beautiful and super delicious food, with a cooked salmon, tasty chicken wings and the margherita pizza with the good gluten-free base, a 10💯 and a delicious coffee to finish

Emily Soptick

One of the best burgers I’ve had - and the gluten free bun is amazing!! My go to is the Diplomat or the Republic!

Dianna Locke

Had gluten free pizza last night and it was delicious!

Diane Ford

I highly recommend this place. It was my first time in Bloomington, Indiana, and this was my first stop. As someone with a gluten allergy, it was great to see the menu clearly listing allergens. The burger I had was hands down the best burger I've ever had. The restaurant had a charming atmosphere, especially with its holiday decorations. I will definitely be coming back soon!

Maddy T

I’ve been here countless times with my family and every time it’s absolutely amazing!! I always get the chicken fried rice with a side of roti flatbread, and for appetizers our family has gotten the curry flight, shrimp and veggie tempura, egg rolls, and for a drink I always get their Thai iced tea!! Staff is always so kind and efficient!! Food is delicious and consistent every time! We have both walked in and made reservations and have never been turned down! We have celebrated many events such as family gatherings, birthdays, and just special life events here and we plan to continue to do it! Prices are great as well!!! I’m pretty sure they have options labeled for gluten free things, and I know they have options labeled for vegetarian and vegan diets!

Keith Clock

Whether you're a whiskey or bourbon drinker, or not, West Fork is worth a visit. Great place to pick up some local gifts for special occasions. Mash, the restaurant located inside, has a smaller menu but should have something for everyone - including gluten free options. You could easily spend a few hours here eating, drinking, learning and shopping.

Karrie-ann

We chose this place for a birthday celebration. Atmosphere is really noisy. We were seated in a room that had 10-12 tables and we couldn’t hear the waiter or each other to have a conversation. The food was excellent. They even provided gluten free bread before dinner. Our steaks, as delicious as they were, were over cooked. We ordered them medium and were served closer to medium well.

kristine iozzo

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was divine! They have many Gluten Free options and I can’t wait to go back!

Audre Brink

Brunch & Bingo was amazing! The food was outstanding (especially being Gluten free) and the staff were out of this world! I can't wait to come back!

Lindsey Mark

Fun spot with a comfortable atmosphere and awesome cocktails. Started with the wedge salad (no croutons), the balsamic tomatoes were at peak ripeness. The tomatoes paired well with the crisp iceburg lettuce and creamy bite of the horseradish blue cheese dressing. I ordered the nook pizza on gluten-free crust and it was phenomenal. I took 1/2 home and it was equally delicious when eaten cold the next day. Here's the deal, 90% of gluten-free pizza is under cooked. The bottom of the crust never gets toasted. Not this crust, it was perfectly crisp. On to the toppings, the onions complimented the fennel in the sausage. Then there are the wine mushrooms... these meaty fungi were flavor bombs. Great balance between the texture and seasoning. It's very unusual to have a pizza wow me. This one had it all, each topping added complexity without stealing the show. 10/10 would nosh again! Hubs got the fried chicken with green beans, mac and cheese. Enjoyed a nibble on the beans, also perfectly cooked and seasoned. All-in-all everything from service to food was on point. Can't wait to come back.

S Conley

Good place to get a good dinner salad, or a burger. They have gluten free buns for the burgers.

Bryndon Preston

This restaurant is consistently great! The food quality is high, the atmosphere is unique, and the staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. This is another safe place for my wife with food allergies and celiac disease to enjoy great-tasting and healthy food. The same people who own Divvy (also Amazing!!) also own the library. That means excellent-tasting food worth every penny you pay to eat here. I love the Library for business meetings or gathering with friends. They also have a great outdoor space to enjoy when the weather is nicer. I look forward to Summer meals there soon.

Stephanie Crockett

My husband and I dined here for dinner and will definitely be back! First off, our waiter was so nice and attentive and communicated with us so well throughout the meal, on how much time it would be, etc. We started with the Gluten (bread) plate and Brussels and Burrata (which comes served over polenta), and hands down the brussels are the best appetizer I've ever had. Then, I had the flat iron which was cooked perfectly and had tons of flavor. My husband had the Short Rib Spacatelli which was also incredible and had plenty of meat with handmade pasta. We finished with the chocolate pot de creme and there wasn't a drop left, it was so delicious. Definitely a great experience all around!

Located in the heart of Circle City, Good Wood is a spacious and family-friendly restaurant known for its burgers, brews, and brunch. The restaurant has a sophisticated bar atmosphere and is split into two sections. The left side has booths and tables, while the right side features a full bar and large TVs. I highly recommend trying the Buffalo cauliflower, chipotle wings, and the delicious chocolate chip ice cream dessert. If you're in the area, make sure to stop by and mention that you heard about it from @travelingfoodieguyde. Enjoy your meal and don't forget to tag me in your pictures and videos!

Sarah Kiefer

FDR accommodated our large group of teachers. The table was ready and we got to sit right down although we were waiting for a few of our guests arriving from out of town to join. I love it when we have a reservation and restaurants will seat without our full party being there. Drinks, apps and meals were great. Hostess was super friendly and even doubled as our photographer. Server Josh was super friendly, knowledgeable about all of the food, and a good sport. Food orders were accurate and our gluten free friend said the GF bun was one of the best she's ever had. They have GF flatbread pizzas, too! Highly recommend. We'd love to come back.

Patrick Kaufman

This place is Overrated. I grew up in "hipster central" Portland, OR in the 90's. This place is trying too hard. The beet salad was amazing and a healthy portion. Everything else was small portions. Our waiter was attentive but had almost too much energy. The menu had no congruence. I'm sure there are marvelous dishes here but way, way overpriced for Indy. Good attention to my friends celiac dietary needs. The amazing giant beet salad and their understanding of serious gluten free needs is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 3.

Bethany Wathen

Folie is a great stop for fine dining in Downtown Lafayette. From seasonal menus to specialty dinners, Folie offers a wide variety of tastes in the local area. Whether you're omnivorous, vegan, vegetarian, or gluten free, Folie has many options to suit your tastes! Reservations are definitely recommended for the the best overall experience, but walk ins are also welcome!

Marie Storm

Beautiful view of the city! Appreciate gluten free pizza & vegan cheese option!

Paula Wolf-Farnam

What a great place! Excellent service and food. Knowledgeable staff and chef. I have celiac, although they do not have a gluten free menu, they do have gluten free items and are very proficient at preventing cross contamination. Eaten there twice with no issues Thank you!

Michaela Yoder

The food and drinks are unmatched! There are great varieties and flavors among the menu choices including vegetarian and gluten free options. We recommend the Chicken Fried Chicken and the melt in your mouth zucchini bites with carmel for dessert! We were impressed by the bartender's array of knowledge, efficiency, and charming personality. The atmosphere was light and fresh with a modern feel. We left feeling beyond satisfied and are already planning our dinner for our next trip to Craft One Half!

Joel Helms

Very chill place! Super tasty liquor and canned beer! Gluten Free and Easy!

Valarie Engler

They don't have but 2 or 3 items that are gluten free but their grilled chicken salad is outstanding!

Susan Guerin-Staples

This restaurant was exceptional. Morgan our waitress was sensational. One of our party was gluten intolerant and they were well taken care of. The drinks were amazing.
