Greencastle’s Bridges Pizza & Wine Bar to be featured on America’s Best Restaurants

America’s Best Restaurants will be filming on location at Bridges Craft Pizza on November 20 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Local restaurants Big Bear Biscuits, Alley Cat Lounge and Bridges Craft Pizza & Wine Bar will be hosting a visit from America’s Best Restaurants (ABR) in mid-November 2024.

America’s Best Restaurants, a national media and marketing company focusing on bringing attention to local, independently-owned restaurants, will bring its ABR Roadshow to the restaurants on November 19th and 20th.  Popular dishes will be highlighted, along with an extensive on-camera interview with owners and key staff about each restaurant’s special place in the community. The episodes will be aired extensively on social media channels at a later date.

Bridges Pizza & Wine Bar, in Greencastle, began as the brainchild of Joyce and Judson Green as an adjunct to Music On The Square, a community facility in partnership with the DePauw School of Music. The two concepts share a wall, allowing a ‘dinner and a show’ type atmosphere. The upscale yet approachable menu offers such dishes as pizzas, pastas, small plates, salads and entrees. 

Big Bear Biscuits, located on E 96th St, serves breakfast, lunch and brunch with an emphasis on from-scratch biscuits. They have a contemporary ambience with outdoor seating and a menu of hearty items including handcrafted coffee drinks and a cocktail menu as well.

Alley Cat Lounge describes themselves as ‘Broad Ripple’s oldest neighborhood bar’ and offers a dive-bar-esque vibe with daily specials, events such as trivia, tastings and happy hour and a menu of burgers and sandwiches, wings and pizza. They open at 7 a.m. to serve breakfast.

America’s Best Restaurants will be filming on location at Alley Cat Lounge on Tuesday November 19 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.;  Big Bear Biscuits on November 20 from 9 a.m. to noon; and at Bridges Craft Pizza on November 20 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
