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 Ollywood Karaoke nights are the signature draw, with a monthly Dinner & Divas drag show in the mix, 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.
