About
What sets Chatterbox Jazz Club apart is its history: a bar that's been welcoming regulars and visitors since 1896, making it one of the oldest holdouts in downtown Indianapolis. It's an LGBTQ+ owned venue where jazz, piano, and cabaret performances are the main draw, and the crowd is a relaxed mix of straight and gay patrons. You'll find Jamaican patties and oven-baked pizzas on the menu alongside the drinks, with outdoor seating available when weather permits.
The vibe is divey and unpretentious, and the all-ages policy means you'll see everyone from college students to retirees. It's open every night from 5pm, with later hours on Fridays and Saturdays until 1am.
