Red Room Indy

I hadn't been to the red room in YEARS and YEARS but was invited to a 50th Birthday party here, which I didn't even realize was a thing. So apparently you can rent the facility prior to them opening at 10pm. So the party was from 6-10. You have access to the entire place and the outside area as well. You can also cater in your own food, so it's not like you have to use their contacts, but it does have to be catered, you can't bring in homemade food. You can also bring in a DJ. This particular party had a cash bar but you can make arrangements for it to be an open bar if you would like. The most exciting thing is you only have to have I think a $400 liquor minimum. Well if you have a decent crowd, I'm sure that's pretty easy. I also wasn't aware that they actually have a parking lot for your guests as well.

Good place to go and listen to music and get drinks. They have specials on drinks and shots as well. We love it in the summer because of the rooftop it has as well. They always have different types of dance theme events as well.

After reading other reviews about racial profiling and over zealous bouncers, I can see why our evening ended on a bad note. We stopped by, had a couple drinks and enjoyed the atmosphere and the nice patio area. The evening was going smoothly until one of the bouncers very rudely told me to " move out of the way of the door". Keep in mind the door had been open all night, but I think it was a part of his closing duties to keep the door closed. The tone was extremely aggressive considering I was a calm, paying customer. I've never been spoken to so disrespectfully by a security guard before, so it was pretty jarring. My fiancé came to my rescue and told the guard to calm down and that we are moving. The guard began to argue and scream and both of us and advanced towards me aggressively! He began to argue back and forth with us from that point, which was totally unnecessary considering we left the doorway as instructed. Seemed like a power trip if you ask me.After we were kicked out, a very professional guard named Austin calmly explained what the closing procedures were and why we were asked to move out of the doorway. He then apologized profusely for the inconvenience. During the conversation the first rude security guard came BACK outside to yell at us some more! Is the staff not trained on how to handle these types of simple conversations? I found myself repeatedly trying to deescalate the situation and I'm not even an employee.At this point we spoke to a manager and he again apologized profusely for the behavior of his staff and treated us with the respect we asked for from the beginning. So if you stop by The Red Room on a Saturday night, you might end up being targeted by security. Not worth a second trip.

I came here on part of a bar crawl over Halloweekend. This was definitely the best stop. They had a good space with a dance floor if you wanted to dance (which I always do), and an outdoor space for more relaxed conversation. There are multiple bars, so service is relatively quick. Overall, a cool location and good experience.

I've been coming to the Red Room off and on for years and now we've been to New Years Eve celebrations twice. We always have a great time. I have read the past comments about the staff, but all I can speak for is what I saw. The security appeared very engaged, but responsible. The bartending staff wasn't enthusiastically happy, but they did their job well. You aren't there to make friends with the staff though. I believe, as with most places, staying in small groups are best when around intoxication.

Husband & I have been regulars for 4 years now. We just came back from our 2nd New Year's party here, which was very well done. The owner, Chris, is usually there when we visit (which is usually on Saturday nights about once/3 months). The things I love: 1. The DIVERSE crowd. Husband & I have an obvious age difference and this is only one of 2 bars where we BOTH feel right at home. You'll see all ages here. You'll see a mix of white, black, and Latino, as well, which I especially appreciate as the DJ plays all sorts of dance music for all of us. The clothing is also diverse...husband and I prefer to dress up, but there are many in jeans & nice tops. 2. The DJ(s) play a great mix of music on Sat nights. Old school hip hop, newer hits, a few favorites from the 90s, etc. DJ does a good job of flow, too.3. REAL CUPS. So many clubs use cheap plastic cups like from your college house party days & I can't stand that. Not this one.4. Five bathrooms, not just two.5. Parking--they have their own tiny lot.6. Attentive staff7. Drinks are affordable & not weak8. Heaters outside on the balcony & rooftop patio for the smokers.9. The decor, it's classy & upscale without being pretentious. Makes you feel welcome, whatever style you're wearing.10. The bouncer at the front entry helps us ladies stay in the correct order for the bathroom & checks if it's open for us.Things I don't love:1. Climbing those steps. Plenty of patio & rooftop for smokers, so they don't have to climb the steps all night. Just when you arrive & leave for the night.2. The women's bathroom door right by the main entry. That door is heavy and the lock can be annoying. But there are other women's bathrooms there.3. That hallway between the lounge room & dance room. People at the bar can sometimes block that area & make it tough for us to get through.

The Red Room in Broadripple is a fun place. I went there in early June '21 and was able to enjoy a beautiful evening on the rooftop having a few drinks. There was a good crowd with great energy! The dance floor was crowded and lively. Good place for a date or friends. If you're hungry you should eat before you get there. I don't believe they serve food.

This place has always been hands down so much fun! The service has always been so great with the staff being so kind and attentive. The ambiance is fun and upbeat. I would highly recommended red room for a fun upbeat vibe and always kind staff. They also have a fun salsa night on Wednesdays. During the warmer temps of nights they also have an outside lighted patio!

The staff here was fabulous. They were very friendly and welcoming. We told them about our horrible experience at Rock Lobster and they gave us free shot and can koozies. Both the waitress and manager were outstanding.

I like the red room, it's a fun place, but the bouncers like their power trips. I was smoking outside and the guy told me to move away from the door twice, I didn't hear him the first time. When I heard him the second time I did as instructed and when I came back he refused me reentry because I didn't listen to him the first time. After explaining I didn't hear him he said it didn't matter I wasn't getting back in. I don't go to broad ripple often and honestly I don't want to go back after dealing with that.
