- Ball & Biscuit (331 Massachusetts Ave., 317-636-0539) partners Kendall Lockwood and Trevor Belden are opening Baby’s (2147 Talbott St.), a family-friendly restaurant in the former home of Talbott Street Nightclub, Indy’s iconic drag club that was open for fifteen years. Lockwood and Belden told the Indianapolis Business Journal the restaurant will have a burgers-and-shakes retro feel, with decor that nods to the history of the building. There will also be a covered patio for outdoor dining and games. No timeline was announced.
