We were walking by with some friends on our way to another bar when Paradox Lounge caught our attention. There were only a few people sitting at the bar at 8:30 on a Friday evening. Later, our bartender told us the place would get busy in about an hour. As soon as we sat down at the bar, we were greeted by our bartender, Soso. She was delightful! So friendly and helpful with drink recommendations. And she was spot on! She suggested a cocktail not on the menu, a Tequila Sunrise with Peach Schnapps. Something I'd never had before. It was divine! My husband had the Paradox Paloma - also tasty. We asked for Tequila Old Fashioneds for round 2. Delicious!Our fried plantain appetizers took no time to come out. They were crisp and caramelized on the outside and tender and sweet on the inside. Our entrees came out quickly too. We shared the Buffalo Dry Rubbed Chicken Wings. They were bursting with flavor!So glad we wandered across Paradox Lounge. Can't wait to go back!

I was not expecting club vibes at 3pm on Sunday but I truly don't know what I was expecting. With that being said I had a great time. Music was pumping. My waitress was lit and helpful. Nice like spot. I'll have to come back and try the food.

While out for the night we popped in for a cocktail and some appetizers. We were not disappointed the cocktail menu was exceptional and our bartender was top notch and friendly. We ordered the jerk wings and fried plantains. The wings had amazing flavor and melted in ur mouth. I loved that atmosphere and cool decor. When out in Fountain Square you have to stop in and give this cool place and friendly staff a try. I can't wait to come back.

I attended the Night with Djsolo with some friends and had a ball. The DJ usually does R&B nights at a different venue but last night it was here at Paradox. It was very different, more space, more club like. I loved the lights and the art they had in the screens, the art in the restrooms and along the sections were very beautiful also.I had the Like I'm Golden drink recommended by Shay (one of the bartenders) and some honey bbq wings. The drink was very good, not strong at all (but does creep up on you later). The wings were great too! Not too sweet and not too much of a bbq taste either.I loved that their menus have lights in them to help you see better because it can be a little dark inside.I wasn't able to get many pictures but I definitely plan on coming back.

I can't say enough good things about this lounge. CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! This lounge, the energy and the people that work there are jewels. This bar is FULLY STOCKED and this is the ideal place to come in and watch the game or just relax over drinks. We came in for the yelp experience and quickly realized that it was the wrong date after we spoke with the waitress. Needless to say I was super embarrassed and ready to tell the waitress my mistake as soon as she returned. And to my surprise, when came back she said that the manager was going to honor it anyway and still give us the deal. We had the Paradox Paloma and Talk To Me Nice cocktail and the bombastic shrimp as a starter. The drinks were made so well and didn't take forever to come out. The paloma wasn't ridiculously strong but it did its thang. The Talk To Me Nice had cotton candy garnish that gave the cocktail a whole new experience when you dropped it into the drink. The bombastic shrimp was so flavorful and it was more than enough to share. The shrimp was jumbo and fried perfectly. Served on a bed of arugula with a side of chili sauce that was amazing. There was a good sauce drizzled on top of the shrimp that made it to where the chili sauce was just a cherry on top. For the entree we ordered 10 chicken wings and got two different flavors. Hot honey BBQ and Garlic Parmesan. These were not some itty bitty chickens. These were a good size and had the crunch that I look for in chicken wings. The sauce wasn't watery or too thick. I want to try all of the flavors now. I will be back to try those tacos and hookah. And with the coupon I got for checking in I'm sure it'll be more than worth it. I know where I'm coming to watch the next fight. The co-owner came and introduced herself as well as the assistant general manager. Honestly the customer service here is impeccable. I am looking forward to giving this black owned business my money in the future.

Came here on a Thursday night. It wasn't crowded at all. I've tried to come here previous times before but I think there was always a capacity, but tonight was very different. I didn't feel like ordering anything to drink because it was a Thursday and not really don't drink like that so I order some food they have a good variety of food options on their menu , it was so much to choose from. AnyWho I went with the plantains the fried rice in the beef patty. It took a while for it to come out but I guess they was making it and the food was hot. Well present it and tasteful it has some kind of taste to it but I can't put my finger on nonetheless I still ate it allmy service she was really nice. I will be coming here again. It's a lot more packed.

This place has it all! Looking for a chill spot for after work drinks? They've got! Looking for a great spot for music and hookah after dark? They've got it! A gem in Fountain Square. Stopped in for after work drinks with a friend recently and was very impressed by the space (ALL seating is made to feel VIP!) with fantastic artwork, light up menu, and friendly staff. The comfy couch seating invites you to stay for awhile. We had the pretzel bites, bombastic shrimp, angel eggs, and Parmesan fries. The portions are generous so you have some to take home for a late night snack! The Paradox Paloma and Black Girl Magic rose are must try! They really did think of everything, the bathroom has selfie mirrors!

What a great addition to Fountain Square! I was invited to join a friend on a Friday night. They do offer valet which is amazing especially since Fountain Square's parking is so iffy. When you walk in it doesn't feel like you are in Indianapolis, feels more like Houston or Charolette. Very classy vibe. They do enforce a dress code which I can appreciate so you get a nice crowd. They offer food which was pretty good. A little pricey but I respect it again to keep it upscale. My server was very attentive, Amoni was her name. She delivered very good service just checking on us at the appropriate times and not being a bugaboo.The owners were walking around b chatting with people which was also a nice touch.

This space is very cool. The music is awesome. The drinks are delicious. The light up menu is incredible. For a taller guy, the couches on the main floor are a bit close but perfect for enjoying some food. Art on the wall is incredible. And an upstairs VIP and DJ loft is super cool. We had the wings. They are crispy and tender with a flavorful teriyaki sauce. Our server was on her first night but did pretty well. And the assistant GM is friendly and engaging. Note: the dress code says no flip flops or tennis shoes but both workers on the floor were wearing either flip flops or tennis shoes. This is a great spot to socialize and have a drink or two.

Vibe is nice. Definitely something fountain square doesn't have as it is a lounge space. They have really good music, great decor, and the environment and set up is fancy.There's also a VIP area upstairs that you can rent out and fits 50. I'd recommend the VIP if you want your own room to dance. The main area is more of a lounge than dance floor, so there are tables and booths all around. They have a red carpet when you walk in which is lovely! They have a food and drink menu. I loved that the menus lit up when you opened them! I got the "talk to nice to me". One of their sweeter drinks that comes toped with cotton candy. I wanted sweet so I was definitely satisfied with my choice. My cocktail was $16 and the range looked to be about $16-18 for cocktails, $9 for wine pours. We had just left a restaurant so I didn't get food this visit but would in the future.
