Serving a population of around 101,651, customers looking for bars nearby are usually deciding where to go in the next hour, so hours, location and a current menu or stock list matter more than anything else on the page.
Real search behaviour for bars around Carmel clusters around phrasings like:

What converts a visitor for a bar is hours you can trust and an event calendar that is current. Everything else on the page gives way to it.
Plenty of customers reach Carmel bars from Westfield, Fishers, Noblesville and Indianapolis, so the site is built to rank for the surrounding towns too, not just the city line.
If your bar sits near somewhere like Flowing Well Park, that footfall is worth capturing properly — directions, hours and parking need to be one tap away on a phone.

Speed, structure and genuine local relevance. The Carmel page is built to load in under a second, marked up so Google understands the service and the area it covers, and written to answer the real queries customers type — so the organic position in Carmel is earned rather than rented.
