ALASKAN ROOTS. INDIANA HEART.

YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD PUB · TELL CITY, IN

ALASKAN ROOTS. INDIANA HEART.

A long way from Alaska.
Right where we belong.

A neighborhood pub with a spirit of adventure and a place for everyone.

THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE PUB

A new chapter.
A familiar feeling.

Originally from Homer, Alaska, Ian and Claire moved to Tell City to be closer to Ian’s family roots. Lock & Keel grew from their love of food, community, and exploration.

Today, Claire carries their shared vision forward, honoring Ian’s memory in a place built for good food and community. His Alaskan spirit lives on—from the seafood on the menu to the fishing boat in our artwork.

A PLACE TO CALL YOUR OWN

The game is on.
The welcome is warm.

Stop in for a bite, bring the family, catch up with friends, or find your next favorite at the bar. There’s always room for another story at Lock & Keel.
