The Backyard

Our stage under the string lights.

Each spring our patio comes alive — live bands, drag, burlesque, and Pride events beneath the open sky. It's also Indy's best-kept secret for private parties.

Food at Downtown Olly's
The Kitchen

Pork tenderloins, smash burgers & race-flag specials.

Hearty, unpretentious, and open late. Dine in, carry out, or get it delivered — order online through Toast, DoorDash, or Uber Eats.

Who We Are

A safe haven where everyone is welcome.

Regardless of gender, sexuality, race, or background — come make new friends, let loose, or just take a break from the world outside. For over two decades we've been a staple of the Indiana LGBTQIA+ community, and every June we roll through the Indy Pride Parade.
