Fountain Square

If Mass Ave is Indianapolis's polished going-out district, Fountain Square is its unfiltered counterpart. Dive bars, live music, tiki bars, and pinball lounges are all centered around a walkable stretch of Virginia Avenue and Shelby Street. The neighborhood's music anchor is HI-FI, a 400-capacity concert and events venue in the Murphy Arts Center. Six nights a week it draws emerging national acts alongside local favorites, spanning indie rock, Americana, bluegrass, hip hop, punk, blues, and folk. Its outdoor sibling, HI-FI Annex, adds seasonal all-ages shows, and combined, the two presented over 400 shows in Fountain Square in 2024. The Annex is set to move to the site of the former Granada Theatre, with an indoor space increasing capacity to 1,200. Radio Radio, also on Prospect Street, caters to audiences who follow or seek to discover up-and-coming bands, and has hosted artists such as Andrew Bird, Cat Power, and the New Pornographers. The Fountain Square Theatre hosts swing dancing, while the White Rabbit Cabaret books burlesque theater. Square Cat Vinyl is a record store that doubles as a performance venue, a coffee shop, and a bar, regularly hosting concerts and open mic nights. Geraldine's Supper Club, the Inferno Room, Atomic Bowl Duckpin, and a cluster of bars and lounges round out a neighborhood where live music is genuinely a nightly constant.
