The Vault Indy

The Vault is Indy's South-side secret bar, a speakeasy prohibition-style with beautiful brick details, a vault door entrance, and a lovely little patio with twinkle lights. I got to recently check out on of their cocktail classes, just one of the fun events they do throughout the year. The Cocktail class was so much fun, and the instructor was attentive and took the time to provide extra help where needed. We learned how to make several cocktails, had snacks, and a lot of laughs.

The vault definitely is a chill and welcoming place to drink at. Once you solve the question of the code on the door, you walk in to a Very prohibition decor, reminds me of the speakeasy at goodfellas. They do have small bite foods, including a broccoli cheddar soup that smelled good coming out for a customer.I'm always taken care of by 1 of the bartenders, Maya. She's a super chill and friendly qt. She made me 1 cocktail off the bartender specialty cocktails and ofc my fave expresso martini. There's a shot that has become a lil traditional for us all to take with liquor 43 and cream that I def recommend. Overall, I can see myself making this a regular place to drink without a large crowd if I don't want to get overstimulated (iykyk)

Kind of pretentious bartenders but they do make a good cocktail. If this wasn't in my neighborhood I probably wouldn't make the hike, but since it is, their patio can be a nice time and their drinks are lovely.

The Vault!! What a fun concept? Speakeasy in Indianapolis with a super cool 1920s lounge style vibe and fun creative drinks. Soup and grilled cheese options are tasty too. A couple of co-workers and I dressed up in 1920s flapper fashion and visited the Vault. It was so fun, everyone loved our idea of matching the era and gave wonderful compliments. There is even a trap door that is said to lead to John Dillinger's hide out. While you can't go down the steps, it was pretty cool to see. Beware, it is a speakeasy so you better put your thinking cap on to come up with the secret code!

Service was well above expectations and the drinks, delicious! Hubs got the espresso martini and I had this beauty. Decor & ambiance on point. We'll be back to try more.

Have been wanting to try this place for a long time and finally made it with 5 of my closest friends! Came on a Thursday night around 7pm. They post a code on their IG page so you can enter. It was fun within my group gathering everyones guesses before we arrived. Sadly someone let us in so we didn't get to enter the code in but there is a big vault where you can put it in should that not happen for you.Upon entry, it was super chill. They were setting up for a Sofar event (if you don't know what that is, do some homework on that), so they had a section of the place closed off for the set-up. The bartenders were very nice and engaging and offering drink options which was helpful because I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted. They actually created something for me based on what I like. There was plenty of seating, so no worries there on this particular day but I can imagine it could get crowded on the weekend. I'm a fan.

Great service, great drinks, and even better ambiance! Harry helped us pick out drinks and gave us advice on how to up our at home cocktail making! Hope to return next time in town!

Service was good. We celebrated a birthday so we were in and out. Just stayed for drinks. The ambiance was great. We felt like you went back in time.

Our first time in Indy! We were looking for a place to kick off our night and my husband found this joint on Google! Upon arrival we found ourselves at a vault door with a legitimate keypad for entry. After several failed codes we found our answer with the end of prohibition! We loved our experience here. The owner, Gabby, and one of her bartenders, Maya, were wonderful. The cocktails were fantastic. I specifically loved the peach basil gin smash. My husband loved his which was This Was Ube. They gave us great recommendations where to go for the rest of the night. Good vibes, good music, and good people. Would recommend!

The Vault had been a destination for me. The vibe, cocktails, and service was always on point. However, my last visit to The Vault left me very disappointed. We went on Black Friday. There was a new code to get in, which was fun to find. However, upon entering the vibes were off. It was BRIGHTLY lit. I almost thought they were closing and cleaning by how bright it was inside. Also, the bartender was wearing a Chargers jersey. Further, they were playing country music, not via TouchTunes but via the regular bar music. As a "Speakeasy with History," everything was off. We had invited some friends to join us who had never been before and we were glad they canceled, as we had talked up this place a lot and it fell way short of our expectations. The vibe of a speakeasy is a lot. You expect certain things. I felt like I was at a Buffalo Wild Wings. I'll give it another shot, but if it's a similar experience, I cannot recommend this place anymore.
