    I've always had a great time here. I went to see the band Juice and had a great experience. The acoustics were great and the band was even better. Great bar selection! Also appreciate the VIP option!

    Such an incredible music venue in the heart of Fountain Square. The staff are always friendly and concerts always immersive - the smaller space really gives shows an intimate feel. Looking forward to seeing what they do with the additional space they've acquired in the Murphy building!

    This review is for the HI-FI Annex -- I'm obsessed with this outdoor concert venue! It's the perfect size for artists who aren't quite ready for a stadium, but still draw a big crowd. The sound quality is excellent, and the outdoor bars are set up just right. Even with a ton of people there, I never felt packed in and I actually had room to move and dance freely! Can't wait to attend another concert here.

    Saw my first show at Hi-Fi last night and had a great time! What a fun little venue. Tickets were only $20 each, so we decided to splurge on a VIP table, which was just an additional $60 for four people ($15 per person). VIP is in the very back, and depending on where you're sitting, some columns might block the stage--a bit of a bummer. But it's on a raised platform, so you can see over the crowd. Plus, the venue is so small that there's really not a bad spot in the house. You also get access to a dedicated section of the bar for quicker service. Drinks are a little pricey considering it's not a huge concert hall. My husband got a Michelob for $7, and paid $11 for a fairly small mule. Not outrageous, but a bit unexpected. Refills are free on soft drinks which is nice for anyone not drinking alcohol. Overall, we'd see a show here again--and we'd probably consider VIP again, at least for the chairs and a place to put our stuff. (Can you tell we're not in our 20s anymore? )

    I have a rule. It's more of a general rule than an absolute, but it's a rule I take seriously - if a business isn't truly disability friendly I automatically knock off a star. As an active and independent adult with a disability, I've had too many experiences with inaccessible Indy while trying to spend my hard-earned dollars. However, there are those times when I amend my rule for a variety of reasons including overall experience, adaptive limitations (especially historic buildings), and extenuating circumstances. Indy's Hi-Fi is one of my exceptions. Despite lacking in the accessibility department (I admittedly cringed when one Yelper answered a question about accessibility by pointing to the 1-2 step platformed area. Um, that's not accessible. EVER. Fortunately, one of the owners gently corrected it.). First off, I love intimate venues. They are nearly always more difficult for wheelchair users like myself, but they offer an amazing music experience. The same is true here. You can keep Gainbridge and Everwise and other Ruoff, I'll take a show at Hi-Fi any day of the week. Hi-Fi is located in the Fountain Square area. Hi-Fi has a 400-seat capacity (most concerts are general admission, SRO, with a platform area and a side stage lounge area). Hi-Fi is in the Murphy Arts building and this building used to house the 1200-seat Grenada Theatre in the early 20th century. You can see the history in the building. Hi-Fi includes Hi-Fi, Lo-Fi, and Hi-Fi Annex. Lo-Fi shows are all 21+. Annex shows are almost always all ages with a few 21+ exceptions. Hi-Fi tends to be mostly 18+ with some 21+ including seating areas. There's a parking lot with accessible parking within a block or so. The entry is level to the ground and easy to work. Generally speaking, with venues like this I strongly recommend contacting the venue in advance for accessibility needs. Yes, it's a little obnoxious. However, it makes everything go more smoothly - I've done it both ways and nearly ALWAYS have a better experience with advance contact. Trust me, these folks are music devotees - they want you to have a good experience. They can come closer to making that happen with advance notice. It's good for you. It's good for them. I've not seen a lot of shows here (I'll admit the parking troubles me a bit), but any time I do it's a great experience. You can even have advanced dinner reservations at Easy Rider Diner now. The acoustics here are great and regardless of the genre I've been impressed. For wheelchair users like myself, it can be a bit hit-and-miss in terms of visuals - plan early, find a spot, and go for the best. I've found most of the time audiences are amazing in an intimate venue. They are there because they love the artist and they want everyone to love the artist. I've had a couple shows where they struck me as a tad rude, but BY FAR positive experiences are the rule. There's just a positive vibe here and that usually is true of musicians, concertgoers, and staff. Quite simply, Hi-Fi is one of Indy's true gems. If you haven't been here, you should. If you have accessibility needs, plan ahead and you should be fine.

    Concert: Murder By Death
    Katie N.

    My husband and I recently attended a concert at the Hi Fi Annex: Murder By Death, one of my favorite bands. First of all, if you haven't heard of them, check them out, they originated in Bloomington and despite their name do NOT have a heavy metal tone - instead their singer is reminiscent of Johnny Cash and their Indie Rock style is supplemented by cello, trumpet, and violin. We had only been to a concert in the original Hi Fi space so I was pleasantly surprised by their outdoor addition, the "annex". Plenty of standing room, nice sound, and pretty well shaded by the evening hours. The food and drink menu was reasonably priced for a concert venue and the boozy slushies were so refreshing on a summer night. Would definitely return to this venue for a great concert experience!

    Lee Fields bringing it at the Annex.

    Had a fabulous time last night at the HiFi Annex seeing Lee Fields. The intimate outdoor venue is unique for Indy and a good place to see a show. There are plenty of drink vendors. The sound quality was excellent. We arrived after the opener and walked right up to the stage for the main act. My only beef is with having to use a port a potty. Overall though fantastic!

    Great place to see a show! We saw one tonight and it was the usually awesomeness. It's small enough you feel like you're in the know before someone gets big, but has solid sound quality. Nice bars one either side of the venue and you can't beat Fo Squo for kick a** places to eat or hangout before the show.

    Kyle S.

    I think I've been to around 10 shows here so far since moving back to Indy. Phenomenal venue. They book a ton of great up and coming acts. The Annex in the summer is a great addition. First Fridays up in the LoFi lounge are also great! I have tickets for 6 shows in March!!! Recommend buying your tickets at the store to save on fees and use the money saved to buy some merch or eat at their restaurant Easy Rider!

    Small concert venue in Fountain Square area. The concert we went to was sold out at around 200 people. We waited outside to get a spot at the front and there are some benches. Couple of restaurants nearby and a rooftop bar down the street. Stage is small and standing room only. Bar area and drinks available. The acoustics were very good. My only complaint was that it was around 70 degrees when we went in but got up to 85 degrees once the room was full and stayed around that the entire show. It didn't feel like there was any air movement.

    Is the facility accessible for mobility disabilities? I can do some stairs with a cane, but cannot stand for extended periods. Would love to experience the Hu, but don't know if that would be possible.

    there is usually a VIP upgrade for a small charge that gets you a table or booth at the back that is elevated by one or two steps. Great way to enjoy a show. Also close to the bar!

    Can u take purses in and is there a coat ck? Thanks

    No coat check; you can take purses in.

    Recently visited Fowling Warehouse for a work team building event. I had no idea what to expect…read more Parking was a bit of a mystery. There was a sign in front of the business pointing you to turn down a steer for parking; next block there is a huge parking lot but no signs saying you can park there for fowling, BUT, it was abundantly marked that cars will be towed. Since there was nothing else around, I assumed it was the right place and parked. Of course I briskly walked to fowling to inquire if I was in the correct space. I was, whew. Those towers can really work fast. Fowling is in a warehouse with other businesses, hence the name. It is huge. We were on lane 32, I believe so there's at least 32 lanes. There is also a corn hole area. There is a bar where they have a decent variety of adult beverages. I went with 3 Floyd's warpig, a hazy ipa. It was really good. The important aspect of fowling is not eating or drinking there, but to interact with the people your with. Sure you can win a game, but the fun is the game itself and the camaraderie with a drink. Our leader looked up the rules prior and explained them. You take turns throwing a football at bowling pins, one set of pins on each end of the lane. There are two lines to throw from, our group guys threw from back and women from front. I watched a group next to us, both men and women threw from front line, it didn't appear to give anyone an advantage. I don't know if the pizza place is part of fowling or a separate business, but we got pizza from Bonk Pizza. It was ok, it was enough to say we were fed. I'm glad I did this and would go again.

    Fowling (noun) fowl-ing: The hunting or trapping of wildfowl…read more Google "fowling definition" and this is what you'll find. Google simply "fowling" and you learn about this odd sport where you combine football and bowling. Just now. Right NOW as I'm writing this, the word fowling finally made (sort of) sense. Football + bowling = fowling. Now I'm even pronouncing the word different with a long "o" sound versus the "ou" diphthong. I had to Google that, too, but once I saw diphthong, I knew it was going in my review. You're welcome for the 5th grade grammar lesson. Please redeem your Pizza Hut personal pan pizza for your hard work. Ok, fowling. It has nothing to do with trapping birds or teaching birds of prey to land on your arm (that's falconry). Nope, it's a game you play with friends and beer. The setup is more like cornhole, but you use bowling pins and throw, that's right, a football. Someone was clearly drunk when this game was invented. But what a great way to bring a group of people together! The Fowling Warehouse specializes in the game of fowling, but has several other activities to enjoy as a group: pool, darts, a few arcade games and a golf simulator. I may go back just for the golf simulator. This is the real deal, a full Trackman set up. It was pretty sweet. Those simulators can be a little intimidating at the PGA Superstore, but it's tucked away in the corner at the Fowling Warehouse where you can shank balls and not feel like a fool. Mostly. There are also two bars and you can order pizza and boneless wings. The bar has a nice selection of beers on tap. They use the magnet cup system where the cup fills from the bottom. My favorite thing was seeing multiple signs on the bar that warn you that if you push the bottom of the cup, you will get wet! And I smiled devilishly thinking about curious people testing their luck with the cups and losing every time. For me, I enjoyed a couple glasses of this blood orange IPA. Delicious and refreshing. The Fowling Warehouse isn't exactly my jam, but I think it's the kind of place that is perfect for a certain crowd who enjoys games and likes a new challenge. And they can handle a large party! If you are looking to try a new sport that feels like it was invented by someone who lost a bet, this place is for you! I kid, but the Warehouse is nice and clean and large! The service was good and everyone seemed to have a great time. Seems like a pretty good spot for your next party if games are your thing! Please note: No birds were injured during the writing of this review.

Keagan Fife (Manager) - A team player, receptive to feedback and conscientious. We had a issue while there and he was able to step in and problem solve with me and come up with a solution that really won us over. We had a moment where it was feeling a bit "why did we come here" but his customer service exceeded expectation. That's good management. (He's the gentleman in the video below.) Let's get the negative out the way 1st. The first waitress asked if we wanted anything to drink. I told her we hadn't received menus. She came back sat them down and walked away. We never saw her again. A new waitress came and she seemed pleasant enough. Once we were all seated she began to take our orders. She made a point to say she needed to write it all down or she was get it mixed up. She then did not write anything down. Our food came out extremely slow but that wasn't a huge deal because we all were mingling. A lot of her team had to step in and deliver our food, give drinks, check on us etc. She was pretty non existent. Two of the ladies never received food. This was after we had been there for 2 hours and everyone else had received their items. At the end when we asked for our check they were all mixed up and confused. The waitress then blamed us for adding things and moving around. We never moved once and she only came around the one time when she originally took our orders. We never got a chance to add things. (it was quite comical that she tried to say that) I ended up asking for manager because she seemed overwhelmed and a bit bias about our group. Assuming that we wouldn't want one check and splitting them because she figured we would want it that way and then blaming us because she did it when we never asked for split. There rule is parties over 8 have to have 1 bill and we never asked for an exception. There was just her assumption that a group of black women wouldn't want to do that. (I digress) There were a few more things but I will end it there. That was the big negative. Now the positive!!! Ambiance 10/10 - great views, great music, great location, umbrellas on roof were great although a but wobbly and scary. Also, they come around with complimentary sunglasses while dining. I thought this was a nice and luxurious touch! Food 8/10 - most food received was delicious Service 9/10 - everyone except for our server was great! Everyone who pitched in to help was awesome! Ended up tipping a different server who basically helped us the whole time. Bless his heart because I know he was super busy. As stated above management handle the situation well. I would definitely go back! I try to give people a chance. I think our server may have been overwhelmed and had a past experience that left her bias against our group but hopefully she can grow and get better. Her actions don't reflect the restaurant as a whole! Go and enjoy the vibes and views!

The pizza is kind of small though. It will fill two people or one person if you have portion control issues.

They had a barrel aged stout called Duality on draft and it was GREAT - one of the best beers that I've ever had and I don't usually like stouts. You can order cans or bottles of some of the beer to go. The bartender did an A+ job and she was delightful. I could have talked to her all day.

    Good Pizza and Craft Beer at a Small Indianapolis Taproom…read more Across from Goose the Market at the corner of Delaware and 25th, this spot is one of those places you're happy you found and want to tell your friends about. The vibe is relaxed with music piped through, and a couple TVs in case you want to watch sports or a movie while sipping your beer. The food is legit, and the tap list delivers. Let's start with the pizza. They've got all the classics--cheese, pepperoni, sausage, veggie, BBQ chicken, buffalo--but the creative pies are where this place really shines. The brisket pizza with Alabama white sauce is interestingly good, and the pepperoni, basil, pesto, ricotta, hot honey pizza is next-level amazing. The house-made dough is dialed in and ties everything together beautifully. Pair that with a draft beer and you're set. The taproom regularly pours a good lineup from Narrow Gauge Brewing Company--IPAs, stouts, lagers, plus at least one fruity sour. Personal favorites include Atlantic (an English-style barleywine) and Galaphobia (milk stout), but you can't go wrong with a DDH IPA, Lining the Walls Hefeweizen, or the flagship OJ Run. Not in a pizza mood? The giant pub pretzels with beer cheese and mustard are perfect for sharing (or not ). Or grab an order of house-made breadsticks with garlic butter or homemade marinara for dipping. We've gone a few times and most recently during their Darkest Beer Days event. And it did not disappoint--an awesome way to celebrate the Winter Solstice with great dark beers and guest taps. I appreciate that they highlight not only Narrow Gauge, but also other Midwest breweries like Streetside Brewing, Butchertown Brewing, Maplewood Brewery & Distillery, and Transient Artisan Ales at this special event. Bonus points: the owner shared that they'll close the taproom for private group events, and if your crew likes pinball, there are a few machines to keep things fun between pours. Definitely worth considering! Fantastic food, great beer, creative events, and a nice atmosphere--this place is an absolute win. We'll keep coming back (and bringing friends) and hope to see this place do more events in the future.
