The food was good. Service was spotty. Overall, it was a great time. The 2nd floor gets a bit crowded with dancing (but if you want to dance, this place is for you)

The bar/nightclub scene isn’t my thing but the wings here are phenomenal. Would make a special trip to come back for them.

Two-level dance floor. Friendly, open-minded place, open late in Indy. Welcoming to gender non-conforming/trans people

The place made a great first impression. On a busy night, the whole upper floor can be crowded, but service stayed quick, and the atmosphere was excellent.Parking: Free street parking after 11 sounds like a good deal to me.

Love metro! Such a safe and fun space and is inclusive to all! Staff is attentive to needs and fun. Dj’s are typically good. I prefer this to the other LGBT bars out there. Food is typically good, but if bar food isn’t your thing, there’s so many options you can walk to.

Friendly atmosphere, good music on Friday night. Does get crowded on dance floor but everyone is cool.

We visited around 10:30pm Saturday night. Early enough to some food and shots before dancing. Have to highlight the security in this place, used to just be able to walk in around midnight and just do pat down. Now w new external security company it's easy to identify security, they're on both floors, and require id scan/photo at the front door. Feels v safe there!! Appreciated around this area Unfortunately less lgbtq people than there used to be. More drag shows and karaoke/open mic nights!!

Metro use to be the pulse of the people. It’s under new management now who have instituted a cover and make folks wait out in the cold to give the appearance of a packed house. Metro used to be the place where Black and other marginalized people congregated, but those day are no more. Save yourself time and disappointment and go to Tini’s or Ivy. It’s the same building, but not the same place. So sad.

21st birthday tonight jt gets fun at 10 don't agree with ur DD to leabe at 10:30 i neeed a few more characters. drinks are strong wooo
had a little bit *too* much fun at karaoke at metro this past sunday evening. apparently they do it every thursday and sunday night, and overall, it was a good/chill bar and a good time. try their kool aid shot (be careful, they're dangerously delicious) and they also had this sunny d (yes the orange juice drink you may have had as a child) + vodka drink in a can that i was sipping on that night as well.P.S.--------sorry for any drama i may have attempted to cause just before leaving the club - when my third song got skipped bc she "didn't have it" (even tho it was on the website that the DJ referred me to on her QR code sign thing), it was kind of annoying that i wasn't able to sing another song bc i was really feeling the vibe and having a good time prior...i don't go out or at least karaoke very much, so when i do, i like to go all out and sing as much as i can. i was disappointed to be skipped that early in the night when there weren't very many people, and then i was asked to wait through another whole round of singers before going again rather than her just allowing me to sing a different song next in the queue since my original pick was skipped.admittedly it doesn't take much for me to flip that switch when i've had a few and something goes wrong, so i'm sorry again...i do remember saying something to the bartender about the DJ, but wanted to follow up with this review to recommend the bar and clarify that i do hope to stop by again someday, just maybe after they get a different karaoke DJ. the one they had when i went there earlier this year was very chill and accepted tips to jump the line which made it easy to have a good time and not have to wait an hour to sing another song. sunday night was the most recent of 3/4 times i've done karaoke at metro over the years, and i had a great time all times except this one where i got a weird vibe from the DJ and decided to leave early.

Extremely unprofessional - after multiple people made them aware of safety issues, s. harassment and concepts being stolen we were all ratted out as harassing and bullying. Staff has spoken up and also been sa here, improper bookings, djs did not get proper pay, staff has also spoken up about how lane displaced them from their home and fired them. When I spoke up 1/20+ ppl and the darkest person by skin tone and offered to create agreements, outlines and group conversations for anyone queer or who wants to find solutions I was ignored and then tagged ONLY alongside metro staff and was downtalked when it’s not even my brand.

They’re extremely rude and they STEAL!!!!! Supposed to be a safe space for lgbtq+ but the manager with the ponytail thinks he’s god and will ban someone for not liking them personally.
