  1. Glad to hear the news about Metazoa. And thank goodness for the DMD. This time they are absolutely correct with regard to an attempt to cram yet another “tap room” into a tiny, inadequate space. This idea was poorly concocted from the start.

    1. I have to disagree with that characterization. They were holding up the project because as they said, it would bring outside visitors to the location. Which is what broad ripple needs. Its located adjacent to several pay for parking areas, two half empty parking garages, a rapid transit line, and two city wide trail systems. On one hand, Broad ripple is trying to increase density, but the DMD is denying what is probably the best use for the space… to deny it on the basis that it would be too popular is just plain silly.

  2. Untapped market for these taprooms and breweries on the eastside. Currently we only have Black Acre to chose from and I’m thankful to have Black Acre, just would be nice to have some other options though, maybe locate closer to Washington and Mitthoefer area.

    1. Well we better shut down Triton Tap, since by this logic they don’t have enough space to operate either.

      I will concede though, it appears Metazoa chose not to fight and develop the space, with hopes of finding something easier to transform and grow into. No shame in admitting that. But I still believe that this space would have succeeded for them, and more importantly BRV, had there not been such opposition from the DMD.

  3. CP – Well said. Maybe the space would have worked – but this set-back may lead to something better. I remember when the first developer who wanted to build apartments on College Ave south of Kessler Blvd (former AT&T property). They finally threw in the towel after all the push-back from the neighborhood. Then look what happened later – a much more classy “M-K” apartment complex on a win-win basis. Maybe we’ll get something more reasonable on this tiny sliver of land, and Metazoa will find something much more desirable and with better room for more paying customers.

    1. You know what makes it silly? The fact that they tried to fit their operations on a sit where they wouldn’t fit. That’s the whole point. Furthermore, the whole idea is far from unique. Although I do trust that there is ample opportunity to feed Broad Ripple’s alcoholics.
