Dining/Entertainment

This summer, the highest full-service rooftop bar in Indianapolis opens atop InterContinental Indianapolis. Perfect for both a sunset social hour or swanky night out, Astrea not only promises tasty seasonal dishes and creative cocktails, but also spoils with unobstructed views of Monument Circle and downtown Indianapolis with indoor and outdoor seating.

Meaning “star” in Greek, Astrea highlights fresh herbs, citrus-leaning fruits and bright botanical ingredients in its libations, while shareable Asian-Mediterranean small plates showcase local purveyors and produce. The bar also includes a classical raw bar and, later in the night, decadent desserts and digestifs.

What sort of cocktails can you expect? The witty Nunya Bees Wax drink includes bourbon, bees wax, wildflower honey and cinnamon-infused angostura. Or opt for the elegant Cardinal Crown, made with gin, Campari, apricot, lemon, flower water, egg white and dried violet flowers.

Complement your drink with dishes like caviar dip (onion dip served with caviar and potato chips), oysters Rockefeller (with habanero horseradish cocktail sauce) and Indiana charcuterie (three selections of local cured meats, mustard, house pickles and grilled bread). Desserts include a trio of custards of crème brulée, crème caramel and pot de crème, as well as a brownie and blondie sundae.
