Our History
The Legacy of Grandpa Shalooby
Shalooby’s Bar & Grill has been a cornerstone of community and camaraderie since it was founded by Grandpa Shalooby in 1965. What started as a small neighborhood gathering spot has grown into a beloved institution, known for its mouthwatering sandwiches, lively atmosphere, and unwavering dedication to supporting local sports fans - especially those who bleed crimson and cream.
Grandpa Shalooby, a proud Hoosier and a lover of comfort food, dreamed of creating a place where people could come together to share great meals and even better memories. His famous “Sloppy Soggy Sandwich” became a local legend, and Shalooby’s quickly became a go-to spot for Indiana University fans to celebrate victories or commiserate over tough losses.
Today, Shalooby’s remains family-owned and operated, carrying on Grandpa Shalooby’s legacy of warm hospitality, hearty food, and a deep love for Hoosier sports. Whether you’re stopping by for game day or just craving the perfect sandwich, Shalooby’s is proud to welcome generations of fans and friends through its doors.
