Indianapolis, Indiana
All-day LGBTQ+ social hub on N Illinois Street, Indianapolis
Downtown Olly's is an LGBTQ+ sports bar and restaurant on North Illinois Street in downtown Indianapolis, open since 2002 on a site that traces back to the 1970s gay bar Brothers. It's an all-day hangout that locals genuinely love — named Indianapolis's LGBTQ Venue of the Year in 2022 — and it leans Midwestern in the best way: cheap, plentiful beer, pork tenderloin sandwiches, and dinner specials named after Indianapolis 500 race flags. The entertainment runs late and across genres. The karaoke program is the signature draw, the Ollywood Divas drag showcase headlines Saturday nights before late-night karaoke takes over, and trivia and a private backyard fill out the week. The crowd is diverse and multigenerational, from a daytime regular nursing a beer to a packed weekend room, which is exactly what makes it a dependable home base in the city's small but tight-knit scene.
