8-11-2019 Yelp Bottleworks Event

I (Cara) was lucky enough to go to a Yelp Elite event that showed the plans for the new Bottleworks District, which will be in the old Coca-Cola plant on Massachusetts Avenue in downtown Indianapolis.

We were treated to Mimosas, as well as donuts and veggie quiche from a nearby restaurant called The Garden Table.

This was originally supposed to be a hard hat tour of the facilities, but because they were
fixing the roof of the building at that time, a small group of Yelpers met at the offices of Hendricks,
the company doing the renovation and development.

Megan from Hendricks was super bubbly and gave a nice presentation about what is being planned for the space. Everyone
was happy to hear that they are preserving as much of the beautiful building as possible. So, the renovated and updated space
will house a food hall (different than a food court because it showcases unique, local restaurants), a boutique hotel, a movie
 theater, a bowling alley (with duckpin bowling and regular bowling), apartments and condominiums, office space, and lots
of retail space.

At the time of the event, there were 12 vendors committed to places in the food hall. There is space for about 27 vendors.

An overview of what the new space will look like.
