A member of the WNBA, the Fever plays from June–September, and tickets were quite a bit cheaper than their NBA counterparts before the 2024 arrival of college basketball icon Caitlin Clark. In Clark's first season, the Fever set new WNBA single-season records for average and total attendance, and even outdrew the Pacers. The team, which shares ownership with the Pacers, also plays in Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
The oldest bar in Indiana since 1850. It used to be a brothel, and it's now the best blues bar in the city. Steaks, homemade soup, baked potatoes, sandwiches and subs are the starts of the menu with a classic bar menu to boot. Beer, champagne, wine, and of course—hard liquor is poured with pride and the blues is local and national/international acts. There are still bullet holes in the wall from brawls in the 1800s. Dis is it. 21+
Indy's internationally acclaimed symphony has a regular season plus a great holiday extravaganza during the Christmas season, and special guests are frequent.
This is the well-known monument in the center of the city. It is only fifteen feet shorter than the Statue of Liberty, having been built in 1902. The monument's sculpted depictions of gory Civil War fights and emancipated slaves are powerful. With Miss Liberty facing south, she defends the north from the confederate. The Colonel Eli Lilly Civil War museum is located in the basement, and visitors can ride the tower to the top for a view of the city. The grounds on the Monument are a wonderful representation of the city itself; they combine the calm of quietly roaring water and verdant grass with the energy of Downtown. It's also a great place to people watch. Additionally, there's a tiny gift shop. William Henry Harrison, the first Governor of the Indiana Territory and the United States President for a single month, is depicted on a statue at the base. The south steps are closed for renovation until November 2025, costing $10 million.
