Reviews of Howl at the Moon Indianapolis (Night Club)

Deo Mulega

Good live-music, good food and great servers...

Alyson Love

Fun time! Love the live music. I always get the same waitress and she's sorta snappy. LOVE the free buffet. Super loud. Not a place for small talk because it's sooo loud. Small dance floor but people still do it.

Keena Hollaway

Always a fun time with friends! We love singing along with the piano players. Get there early for good seating (8-9pm)

I’m not the kind of person that visits places like this anymore, but my coworkers organized a Holiday Party there and I decided to give it a try. I do not regret a bit! I liked the variety of drinks, but specially the music! Oh my! There’s a lot of talent there. The musicians rotate from singing to one or another instrument. They take requests from the guests and really know how to spread the enthusiasm even to not-a-party-person like me.

Amanda Robertson

I had so much fun at this bar last night! The dueling piano players have great voices and they made extra efforts to pump up the crowd and get us engaged. The drinks had a good value. Great venue for a night out with good dance music. Highly recommend.

Autumn Storm

Very PG 13 music. Small but good cinnimon toast crunch shots. Birthday shots taste great but nothing like birthday

Anthony Majors

5 dollar cover and 7 dollar drinks not worth it I wont be coming back

Tammy Owen

So much fun! Great service!

Jake Sciaudone

I can't stress enough how disgusting and awful this place is. The band was terrible and had no charisma. The house drinks are sugary, weak, and way overpriced. The beer is not nearly warm enough, and the bar is consistently sticky. Cover fees? Come on. I leave 2 stars only because I think it is expected that a place like this would be so disgusting and pricey.

Kim Lear

Awesome place it's like being in Nashville scene .. piano player Josh did awesome job on requests...

Patsy Bauer

It was not at all what I had expected!It was way more fun! I had a blast! I didn't think I would like the "piano bar" atmosphere but boy was I wrong! Will definitely go again!

jim k

The people working there were really nice

Freddy Morales

Sound is over bearing for such as small place. The musicians are ok. Don't expect the usual piano fun musicians..

Nick O'Brien

The appetizers and drinks were great. A little too great, in fact, but let's not talk about that. The atmosphere is fun and energetic enough, but not overpowering. Dueling Pianos is pretty cool, even if the music is not your preference.

Karen Hamm

Such a lively environment. Had a fun time with the girls.

Steven R

Sticky, loud, crowded. Good entertainment. Typical city bar.

Candy Dossett

Had soooooo much fun!!

Tyler Haub

Thos place is always amazing. The girls would love the dueling pianos. There is so much going on here, get monst it!!

Charity Amaonwu

We got to the bar late in the evening on Friday and it wasn't busy at all but we enjoyed the performances of the band. Will definitely cone back.

Katy Foran

My husband and I had so much fun at this bar! There was a good variety of drinks and the live music was so much fun!! The band was very interactive with the crowd and got almost the entire bar dancing. It was also so fun to just sit and watch the band- every band player knew every instrument; we were so amazed watching each player rotate so seemlessly between instruments and have so much fun doing so! It was VERY crowded when we arrived, but we still got our drinks very quickly making it easy to enjoy our time :)

Kim Carnal-Freeland

Love going here every chance I get! Great music and bar deals.

Reed Fabek

Nice setup. They have a fairly talented "band" that does a nice mix of dueling piano performances and more traditional live entertainment. The performers swap in and out, while moving between instruments. As with any piano bar, they like to engage the crowd and bring members of the audience up on stage during the performance.

Cole on VHS

Great, great place! Awesome staff, affordable drinks, and a great energy. The drinks are very strong so if you're not a "regular" drinker, I'd tread lightly.

Bill Babcock

Used to be one of my favorite places to go, but they have gotten away from what put them as a prime place in the beginning. They used to be 2 people at pianos bantering back and forth while playing and interacting with the crowd. They have evolved and included drums, guitars, and lead singers. They still have some of the interactions, but appear to be more of a cover band with interchangeable parts. They still perform well and create a fun atmosphere, just not as what I was used to. I would still encourage others to give a try and see.

Kaitlin Mindiola

Terrible place to go. Definitely should pick a different bar in indy. Bartenders served my friends and I then tried to kick us out about 5 minutes later before we could finish our drinks because they wanted to close half an hour early. Rude and terrible servers and bouncers. Bouncer kicked out some gentleman patiently waiting for their ride inside, out of the cold and rain.

Kathleen Anderson

My son won a happy hour party. I think this is a promotional thing to get traffic in the place. The entertainment was decent. There are very talented performers there. If you have so many people in your party you get a bucket drink. Tried some and it was ok. Not sure which flavor he chose. The happy hour says there is food while supplies last. It consisted of potato salad, nacho chips with some beans and meat and toppings that were sparse and not the freshest looking, and some sweets - cookies, brownie cubes, and eclairs that had been cut up. So random - like a dude had cleaned out his refrigerator. If you advertise food - have a decent offering. The free drink you have about 5 things to choose from. Make sure to give your token before you order. My daughter got a well whiskey. But the free one is an even lesser version than well I guess because the bartender poured it out after she presented the token. I think as a business you lose more $ pouring something out than just serving it. Decor is not pleasant. Place is run down. I got a text saying I "won" a free happy hour party a week later. So did my husband. I won't be taking them up on that offer.

Madi Minear

Good drinks, good environment and a good time.

Alan Brown

Different Bartenders pour drinks totally differently. Completely different levels of alcohol. When saying something to our server, she did nothing but shrug her shoulders. Never even tried to resolve it for us.

christopher kessler

Bars aren't my usual hangout but we were there for a bachelor party. The live band was good, playing 80-00s hits for the crowd to sing along. Be warned that it was incredibly loud. Our group had to shout right next to each other to be heard. Four stars because when I tried to order a drink I waited in line, got to the front and then was ignored for about 5 minutes... Enough time for a whole song to finish. This was after no less than 4 bartenders made eye contact and walked by.

Dakota Strope

Great music, good drinks, fun atmosphere!

Joel Helms

The piano needs tuned...

Deanna Newhart

Good crowd good drinks the music is great song with the whole atmosphere!

Terry Blake

Great venue for a night out with good dance music. I absolutely love this place. This bar offers a large open space and patio. Awesome staff, affordable drinks, and a great energy.

Sara Ashley

One of the best vibes I've caught at a bar. The music was spectacular and the ground was just happy.

t rich

Great time! Really talented musicians! Very enteraining. Service was great average prices. Little to loud only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars.

Nicole Perry

So Much Fun!!! Great Staff !! Great music!!! In love with this place !!!

fish head

This bar is actually pretty interesting. Had a live band that will sing any song that requested. Drink specials were good also

Kara Beer

Howl at the Moon is a very fun and lively bar. It is much different than other bars in the area because they always have live music performed by very talented musicians. You can also request songs! The drink specials are great, and they have a lowered cover charge in Thursday’s. Very clean and high quality bar!

Jason Dhatt

Fun place to have a few drinks and watch the dialing pianos sing and play. They take requests for songs. If you come on a good night you'll see some entertaining drunken wildlife dancing and singing to the music!!

Jeff Hileman

We always have a good time here

Amanda Davis Bowlen

Great atmosphere, loved the music. Service took a while but we were here the weekend of the NFL draft and it was slammed. Great time and will go back!

Lisa Sipes

Fun music and great drinks. Can get pretty crowded on the weekends

Lindsey Morgan

Had lots of fun celebrating my best friend getting married

Cody Weikel

What a great time with friends and amazing music from truely talented musicians. This bar offers a large open space and patio. The lower floor near the stage is a great place for a group of friends to get up close to the action and participate. The upper level offers plenty of bar seating and gathering places to rest your feet from hours of dancing. Had a blast!

Amy Cross

Good times, great service, awesome piano skills and good company

Karissa Mills

This is one of the best bars I have ever been to. The talented performers have NEVER let me down and always bring the crowd to their feet. It is a pretty pricey bar, but honestly I am not a big drinker and just enjoy the show anyway. They take requests and any party's you throw there are sure to be great. The waitress/bartenders are incredible, too. If you have time please see the show!

Holly Johnson

Fun bar, but we tipped $20 for them to announce our friends who just got married that night. They never played the song we requested or announced them. Won't be tipping again.

Kristina Hornaday-Alberts

It's the best place to celebrate any special occasion when you want music!

Bill D.

As always, the best bar in Indianapolis never fails to entertain. I absolutely love this place. The musicians are top notch and EXTREMELY talented. Brilliant business idea as well. Wish I would have opened a place like this. I bet the people who work there love it.

Steve Kupitz

Fun place with live music and energetic vibe.

Kayla Irvine

I had an amazing time here. The drink Sex on the Moon was amazing! I purchased a drink that I did not like and they replaced it for me, which was a happy surprise. I would go back here definitely.

Zachary Ellis

The service is excellent and I had a fun time with my best frend at her birthday party

The Copeland Squad

Good live music! Fun atmosphere!

Andrew Voight

This place is a lot of fun. Those kids on stage really do a great job at reading and entertaining the crowd. The perks you get with reserving tables are unbeatable. We had a bachelor party of 9 people, and the groom couldn’t have had a better time. He loved getting pulled up on stage! Thanks to the Howl staff. Especially our server, Angie, who was fantastic.

Cody R

Lela took amazing care of me and my group, would definitely recommend this location and Lela to everyone

Laura Butrum

Way too many people.. good band though

Karen Thomas

Too much fun! Too much alcohol! Come prepared with your playlist and be ready to struggle with long bendy straws

Martin Maynard

Absolutely fabulous performance every time. It's the best experience in Indianapolis. We try to come as often as possible because it beats piped in music or even the occasional good live band experience. Must see live entertainment. Wait staff was funny and nice. I truly felt welcome and appreciated as a patron... I hardly feel that way anymore as a customer.

Courtney Smith

Had such a wonderful time here!!! I am visiting from out of town and have never been before, the live band was amazing, was playing some of the best music! The bar tenders where so attentive and keen. Shelby was helping me for most of the night she have such great service to me and my friends, she deserves to be there! She kept a clean bar and was so kind. Page helped me when it was time for Shelby to go home. If I am ever back here, I will definitely be stopping by again!

Alexandria Baker

Meh. I went for a buddy’s party and it was okay. We got some free lukewarm food and a free drink. I’m a *total* light weight when it comes to alcohol. As in a glass of wine has me drunk. I drank 3 of their cocktails back to back to back and didn’t even get a buzz - the alcohol must have been non-existent. The music was entirely too loud and rather screechy for my taste. The bartender, Brent, and our waitress, Abby, were super sweet and attentive though!

Stacy Van Noy

Great place to celebrate or just have a fun evening out. This is my second time celebrating 21st birthdays with my nieces! SO much fun. Booking was so easy and smooth. Both times the birthday guests were brought up on stage and recognized, which they loved! Drinks are fantastic, everyone who works there is so friendly and welcoming. They played great music you can sign along with and dance. I will most certainly return.

Sam Ryan

Every Howl at the Moon experience has been a good one! This trip and state was no exception. Musical talent was funny and personable and waitstaff were attentive and friendly. Always remember to pay for your comments to go on the boards, and don't shy away from a bucket.

Jennifer Wade

Interesting environment with a very attentive staff. Our party had a good time.

Francisco Farfan

It was a nice place I was invited by friends and it was definitely a nice friendly environment.

jose conde

Although the time there was spent well and I had fun there are some improvements that can be made. Prices for drinks were pretty steep not to mention the entry fee was an arm and a leg but for unique drinks and live music I guess you could call it fare. That being said the music could be turned down a smidge. Don't get me wrong I like loud crazy music as much as the next person but there is a thin line between hyped music and blaring music. But that's just my opinion. Over all a good place to go but not for everyone.

samantha_longyt 111

Only plays hip hop, rap, and country. Don’t try request classic rock, metal, or any other genre horrible experience. Waste

Brooke Burgos

Music and staff were awsome!! Super crowded tho.

jakobi williams

I made a "jump the line" reservation 50 hours before I visited the location. I called the location over a dozen times, before 7pm & after 7pm to no avail. I never received a confirmation. When I arrived, the host Chase informed me that I was not on the list. I asked for the manager & Shawn appeared & took care of me. I did not receive the gift cards that accompany a reservation but he secured me a table. My server Taylor ignored me the ENTIRE night. I had to force her to serve me which she did only once. I waited over 1 hour & 20 minutes after my 1st drink order & she promised to return to me after she served other tables but never returned. So I went to the bar where Chris the bartender made up for Taylor's mistakes. He made me two very strong drinks which saved my night. Thx host Chase, manager Shawn, & bartender Chris. Taylor almost ruined my nite.
