About
One regular calls Downtown Olly's 'just plain awesome.' It's a 24-hour LGBTQ+ friendly bar in downtown Indianapolis that packs a lot into one space: a piano bar, sports bar, karaoke, drag brunch, trivia, and a full kitchen. The dining area sits apart from the main bar, so you can grab a meal without the noise.
Open around the clock from Monday 7am to Sunday 3am, with continuous hours starting Thursday 9am through Sunday night. The crowd is mixed LGBTQ+ and trans-friendly. Some reviews note the dart board placement near the entrance can be awkward, and the smell has been criticized. Still, the staff gets praised for amazing service, and the food is described as GREAT.
Located in downtown Indianapolis, it's walkable from other downtown nightlife spots like Chatterbox Jazz Club and English Ivy's.

“Yummy food”
Their peanut butter burgers are the best I've ever had. I also really like the appetizer sampler—it's tasty and filling.

“FILTHY”
The place always smells like dirty mop water. When you walk in, people are throwing darts at you because there's a dart board right by the entrance and bathrooms. The bartenders only pay attention to their friends and attractive people they might hook up with. Way too much drama!

“Grease Pit”
The food is bad; you can only stand it when you're drunk. Not worth your time.

“Well Traveled”
A cool, down-to-earth local spot to begin a low-key visit.

“Hungery?”
I've visited twice now, and this place is just fantastic. It's not huge, but there's a nice dining space that's somewhat separate from the bar. They're open 24 hours from Thursday at 9am through Sunday night. The food is great and the service is amazing. I'll definitely return next time I'm in Indianapolis.
