Still waiting to decide on the food, will let you know.
I ordered the combo basket and substituted the chicken tenders for the fried green tomatoes. Hope they’re good as hell!!!
Well they are really good!!!! For someone who doesn’t eat fried foods, I went all in!!😉☠️🏳️🌈

Been here several times and loved everything but the fish. It wasn't fresh at all. Was reheated and horrible but the sloppy tots, tacos, pizza and burgers were good. But still 5 stars. Reliable late nite place.

Came in yesterday on a Monday around 7pm and ordered chicken tender basket with onion rings to go, chicken was raw still and onion rings were burnt…. This the type of cooks you keep here? Waited 45 min for a meal I couldn’t eat…
Only reason I came here is because I ran into a guy named Ryan with a black Ollys shirt on at the No Kings protest that recommended me come try it out. Not a good first impression maybe I need to come when Ryan is working

Well I’ve been here a couple times, but I ran into Ryan downtown who I haven’t seen in a while, he used to clean my office for me. He had a black Ollys shirt and he said he cooks there I was like ok let me come by and I was hoping he would of been here, if you haven’t had Ryan’s cooking it’s phenomenal but you gotta be specific on how you want it cooked, he was off so I ordered me and my friend was here we both got the Olly burger. My burger was half raw, his was overcooked to dry it was awful. I mean this type of cooking you wouldn’t get if Ryan cooked it… lot of people underestimate Ryan but actually he is one of the best downtown. Outside of all that the bartender was excellent greeted me when I came in, and had zero problems on drinks enjoyed that… just wish I could of enjoyed my food

Bar service and food was great. Need more of a male presence with in the front of the house staff.

There are only 5 LGBT bars in Indianapolis and that's if you include English Ivy. Let me repeat that there are only 5 bars in this city for us. Olly's is one of the oldest one's. I hate seeing bad reviews especially from people who call themselves regulars who have only been going for 3 or less years. Olly's is 20 plus years old and i have been a supporter for 15 years. Olly's doors have been open for gays when all other doors were slammed in our faces. They have quietly supported the most vulnerable of us during our most challenging times. This bar has served as a safe haven for so many lost souls including me and my closet friends. I will stand for them even when service is slow or when they mess up my order or when the bartenders are having a bad day. Because that's what family does.

Always a fun time. Very affordable. Go to karaoke night!
Great food amazing entertainment bar tender wasn't focused on everyone after trying to her attention multiple times was pissed because we demanded bill wasn't asked if we wasn't our drinks to go when getting bill she said I didn't add tip completely didn't understand why she'd add her own tip when only 2 of us and not a LG tablet full I normally tip 25% but if you add it in that's the amount you'll get
Watch bill for already added tip
