Stables Steakhouse is a restaurant in Terre Haute, IN, renowned for its historic ambiance and expertly prepared steaks. Housed in a turn-of-the-century stable building originally constructed in 1890 for the Terre Haute Brewing Company, the restaurant preserves decades of local history through its architecture and interior details. Guests enjoy a menu featuring Iowa Premium Family-Farm Raised Black Angus beef, including filet mignon, ribeye, and prime rib, alongside seasonal appetizers, seafood, and signature sides. The dining experience is enhanced by an extensive wine cellar, a bar stocked with small batch bourbons and single malt scotches, and a second-level space that once served as a hay mow, now revealing artifacts from the past.
The building’s original features have been meticulously restored, with solid poplar beams spanning 40 feet in the main dining room, exposed through the careful removal of multiple paint layers. Brass chandeliers and stained glass elements originate from the former Elks Lodge and Central Christian Church, while the solid oak bar dates to the Homestead Tavern in Centenary, IN. The 15½-foot stained glass window in the main foyer was salvaged from the Indiana Statehouse in Indianapolis. A unique feature is Dillinger’s Bar, named for the rumored visits of John Dillinger, and known for its extensive collection of premium spirits.
