Isn't the name, "Ramrod" sort of a lesbian name for a bar? When guys write that it is "hot" isn't that a word that guys use to describe a womans place?

Since this is a sort of Hetro type club. I thought it might be fun to review in an "undercover" type writting? "Male Now Female", "M N F"??? This is soooo hard for me to review, b/c for dance clubs and trashy people lookin' to hook up, long lines, overpriced mixed drinks, and all the things one really hates about the "night club" scene, this is a standard, disgusting joint. I want to slit my own wrists before getting in line at this place .... But, as mentioned in other reviews, if you can catch a concert here, WOWZA. It's fanfuckintastic. Soooo...I have to be fair and it give it three stars, but if I was just judging the the "club" ...it would get 1. If you aren't a clubber, avoid this place unless you are going to see a live show (which i would give a 4). They host MANY throughout the year with some great indie bands and it is always general admission, so early bird gets the great seats. Oh and it's pretty affordable! I've never paid more than $30 for a show here, which I think is an awesome treat. Otherwise, if you don't want to dance 'til you sweat in an inch of disgusting beer on the ground on a Wed. or Friday nights or spend your hard earned cash on a poorly made mixed drink (how does one mess up a vodka tonic?), you might want to avoid it. Yes, the beer is cheap - big deal - beer is nasty. It's dirty, sketchy and trashy...filled with a very young (sometimes, I wonder if they are all carrying fakes), voyeuristic crowd. But for those of you lookin' for a one night stand, you'll probably get lucky. Ick.

About 10 years ago I went sking out there. Loved doing it for a few days, and other things on vacation. 80's night? Do they still have that, loud sound system? the one used one bought from somthing called a "monistary"? It would vibrate off the walls and you, in a large two story type building. It was scary going into the side? entry, (the only one). Walking out wuld sort of expose you to being mugged? Thank god I did not drink, would be afraid of being mugged! Also they do proudly serve soft drinks!

One of the best little bookstores anywhere. Yeah, the literature specialty is GLBTQ and there's an astounding amount of Pride but its great for everyone. The staff is friendly, sometimes funny, and resourceful - they know what's going on! In addition to the books, there's magazines, music, movies, and arguably the best card selection in the downtown area! Sometimes, they even have live performances like Michele Malone, Fruit, and Andrea Gibson, one the best Slam poets ever. Check it out!

If you're headed to Starbucks definitely keep going and head straight to Henry's! It's located in the same spot where Vic's once was. The coffee is better, costs less, and the food portions are generous for the price. They have a pretty broad menu, but they'll make salads to order. The paninis are yummy, and there's homemade soups in the winter and fruit smoothies in summer. Can't forget to mention the staff, who are always great, always friendly -- no matter how early in the a.m.! As for atmosphere, it's how I'd love my living room to be -- open, very comfy yet modern living. Relaxing sums it up best (I've seen more than a few people 'resting their eyes' while their order was prepped!) Cream walls, oversized comfy overstuffed chairs, plenty of seating (and tables set with cloth tablecloths and organicly-styled centerpieces -- how's that for attention to detail!). Other pluses: wi-fi (plenty of lap-top totting patrons!) and a range of people with varied backgrounds and ages -- gay, straight, young and old.

Is this a gay bar? No one really knows, but the Thursday night that I was here, it sure seemed like it. Martini's are half price on Thursdays, and if my friend didn't have to work the next day I think we would have been in trouble cause those things were good. Like really good. The exterior doesn't really match the interior since it looks like you're going into a pub/hotel ... the second you get inside it feels like you're in some swanky SOMA lounge complete with soft high back chairs and plexiglass benches that sparkle with all kinds of colorful light. The more I think about it, yeah, this is a gay bar :) ... I'll probably be back on a future trip to Indy.

Went in to see what a gay bar looks like. (I'm a hetrosexual), did not get hit up on openly or embarressed in public. Or twice by same person. Somthing I wanted to see other than watching a movie.

This is one of the best clubs in Indy. The music and atmosphere can not be beat. This is the place to go if you don't want to deal with the just turned 29 crowd. The older and more mature customers make this the best night club experience.

The AOL city guide now calls it "Brothers". Olly's is the correct name. Sort of like going to your rich microsoft friends house to eat. Except he has all the toys.
