Four Day Ray Brewing

Four Day Ray is Fishers’ less formal alternative: a family-friendly brewery and kitchen in the Nickel Plate District, where the team makes its own beer and cooks pub dishes from scratch. The format can take pressure off a first date: try a tasting, share a plate and talk for an hour, or stay longer on the patio when music or another event is scheduled.

The current menu lists smoked-then-fried wings for $16, beer-battered cheese curds for $11, nachos for $16, plus salads, tacos, sandwiches and burgers. The brewery keeps 24 taps of rotating styles, alongside non-alcoholic drinks and vegetarian food choices. Published prices let guests estimate spending ahead of time; it is more accessible than a steakhouse, though the total changes if the table adds flights or several pints.

Google comments linked to this branch often praise the beer selection, friendly staff and combination of drinks with hearty food; they also describe a lively room at peak times. The tasting room is for guests 21 and older, while the main restaurant is family-friendly; the patio is dog-friendly according to the venue. For a conversation-focused date, choose an evening without scheduled music or request an indoor table.

The brewery is at 11671 Lantern Road in the Nickel Plate District. Its official site takes reservations and lists daily hours; hospitality sources identify public parking, street spaces and a free garage on Lantern Road. Fishers places this area among its dining and entertainment districts, making it possible to add a nearby event after dinner if the calendar fits.
