Lines wind out the door for"world-famous Hermanaki wings" at Ale Emporium on Super Bowl Sunday, and Greenwood gets to taste when the Indianapolis restaurant brings what many consider the city's best wings to the south side.

Ale Emporium owners will open the 400-plus-seat, family-friendly pub, furnished with around 120 televisions, in early spring, maybe before the end of March, at former Fireside Brewhouse, 997 County Line Road, Ale Emporium partner Tony Kwiatkowski said.

Big changes are underway at the late Fireside Brewhouse, which closed in mid-2018. The new Ale Emporium will host video walls, a larger patio and live music.

"Very, very heavy remodel," Kwiatkowski said. "We're pretty much gutting the whole place and starting from scratch."

Ale Emporium's slightly spicy and sweet, dry-rubbed Hermanaki wings are fried and then grilled, giving them a a distinctive char and crispiness that has earned the wings top rankings at Thrillist and TripAdvisor. On Super Bowl Sunday, lines zigzag in front of the original restaurant, launched in 1982 at 8617 Allisonville Road, Castleton.

Get the wings as well as Ale's popular pizzas and other from-scratch dishes including sandwiches, burgers, steaks, salads and snacks such as nachos and cheese fries.

The Greenwood addition resulted from customer requests for a south-side store and is part of company expansion plans that would put Ale Emporium throughout the Indianapolis area.

That growth does not include Ale Emporium moving into the soon-to-close Scotty's Brewhouse in Downtown Indy, as Ale Emporium fans have been hoping.

"The goal is to slowly expand throughout the city, but we're on no time frame, not in any rush to do it. We'll move slowly as opportunities become available," Kwiatkowski said.

Ale Emporium's second location popped up earlier this year at former Casler’s Kitchen & Bar in Fishers. The Greenwood restaurant will be similar to that family-friendly location. The original Ale Emporium is for guests age 21 and older.
