Good 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.

EXCELLENT

As for a major club promoter from Tampa, Fl I have to give them major props, they have great and friendly bartenders who show lots of attention and remember you. Almost like cheers very low key. Only con is sometimes you gotta feed the juke box. BUT EXCELLENT , EXCELLENT FOOD! Start here and then take your adventure.

Varsity why?

The Varsity is going thru a nice change. Going from an old gay bar to a middle age bar. Great place to get some good food and people are so friendly there. Fun bar to start and end the night at.
