OMG THIS IS CRAZY!!! the assistant manger gave an order to the bouncer to deny access to my non-white friend! and my friend is the sweetest girl you’ll ever meet!! we were literally shocked!! its 2024 y’all!! Root Cellar is officially cancelled!
few nights back my friend who is a female of color went there with three white friends. they let the three white people in and told my friend you are not welcome here when she asked why the bouncer said the assistant manager said so.. make of that what you want.

Great music on DJ nights and good karaoke nights too. Pretty decent drinks too. Staff is really nice and friendly. Three different room like spaces to handle with different theme.
Had a ton of fun during graduation weekend. 10/10 would recommend.

A “sweet spot” bar for bloom. It’s always diverse and eclectic; drinks are great and music is good. Something for everyone.

The bouncer and manager were extremely rude to me. They denied my ID even though it was real and I gave them multiple other forms of ID to back it up. When asked if I could just wait by the door for my friend instead of waiting outside in the dark as a young woman, they told me it wasn’t there problem and proceeded to slam the door in my face.
Big fan

This bar was an amazing experience,they are great about keeping fake ids outside given they are a college bar and all the fakes scheme outside about how they are going to get in and its wild to watch. The bad reviews I've seen are by those who were clearly in the wrong. If you like karaoke or dancing to decade themed music this is the space for you!!
I’m disappointed as of late because root cellar is a safe place for many 21+ but as of late many underage people have been let in.

I can’t even give this place 1 star! I’m absolutely disgusted with how I was treated by the bouncer! I wasn’t even drunk, actually it was the 1st bar I went to… didn’t pregame COMPLETELY SOBER!!!!!!!!! Mind you I’m also 25 and have gone to multiple bars in Indy! I was already super Skeptical about going to Btown bars w all the students but wanted to push through! There were about 4 steps ( mind you we literally just had an ice storm as well, the ground was completely covered as well as their stairs with ice ) anyways! I waited in line for 20 mins in the cold! Again I’m completely sober! As I’m walking down the stairs to get into the bar I slipped on the last step, the bouncer immediately said I was NOT welcomed and I was way too drunk mind you those were his exact words! My friend tried to go without me so she could start her fun Saturday then he told her she wasn’t welcomed even without me!!! I’m absolutely disgusted with how I was treated and it was carried on to my friend! This is exactly why you most definitely Shouldn’t have students as your bouncers LOL should’ve asked his name but I was so upset and felt so weird! He was tall ,younger looking, brown hair, slim body… I will never come here again and have already reached out to management! I just felt like sharing this in case others have experienced this or it was simply an IU student that has zero knowledge. Either way btown bars suck! Go to Indy!!! Better people, better bars, better atmosphere!
