SOLD LOUNGE(bar), TO NEW OWMERS !

To the redheads at the Varsity.... You two are awesome!!!! It's what the bar has needed for the longest time, just great people with (as Thomas would say) great energy! Jeremy is by far the best bartender who also sings karaoke while still tending bar and Thomas well he is just a dancing fool! The two together are enough enjoyment to watch that there is no other place you have to go for entertainment! To the new owner I have to say this.... These two are by far the best decision you have made to the bar! Thank you! Now let's see more of the redheads working the bar! Since you just opened the bar, I give you three stars! As there is much more to look forward to!

Oldest gay bar in Indy

The Varsity can be fun, but the neighborhood can also be scary. The menu is basically bar food and it's pretty good. Keep an eye on your back going to and from your car.

Great place for??????

This is one of the best clubs in Indy. The music and atmosphere can not be beat. This is the place to go if you don't want to deal with the just turned 29 crowd. The older and more mature customers make this the best night club experience.

Oldest Gay Bar in Indiana

It's a hole in the wall but if you like good burgers and fries you'll dig this place. A mix of every walk of life comes through the door. Afordable drinks and good cold beer. It's the oldest gay bar in the state. You can still get carry out liquor. Not commen anywhere anymore. If you like people watching, greasy food that's good you will love this place. They even have a bruncg buffet on Sundays.
