The Inferno Room Review
Walking into The Inferno Room feels like stepping through a time portal that landed squarely in a tropic-tinged speakeasy — warm low light, carved masks, and a playful sense of ceremony around every drink. The space manages the rare balance of theatrical and comfortable: it’s obvious a lot of thought went into the décor and flow, but the result is welcoming rather than contrived. The setting pairs well with small groups, date nights, or anyone wanting a lively, design-forward evening out. (visitindiana.com)
Cocktails are the real show here. The menu reads like a bartender’s travelogue, mixing tiki tradition with modern twists: offerings such as Red Sky Morning, Shadow Armada, and Titillating Tart showcase skillful layering of rum, tropical fruits, amari, and unexpected aromatics. Drinks arrive thoughtfully presented and often complex without being fussy; many lean into overproof rums and housemade components, so expect bold flavors and craft-forward technique. Whether you’re chasing classic tiki nostalgia or curious for inventive originals, the cocktail list rewards exploration. (theinfernoroom.com)
Food at The Inferno Room complements the drinks with shareable, playful small plates — think island-inspired snacks that pair well with rum and spicy citrus. The menu’s variety makes it easy to build a relaxed tasting-style night: a few snacks, a couple of cocktails, and you’ve got a sociable, unhurried meal. Portions are designed for sharing, which fits the communal, lively vibe of the bar and invites tasting across the menu. The combination of food and drink feels well thought out for a night focused on tasting and atmosphere. (visitindiana.com)
The Inferno Room also hosts seasonal events and special ticketed happenings that add to its calendar appeal. Their outdoor festival-style events and specialty tastings bring music, spirits, and community together in a way that extends the regular bar experience into a full-day celebration; these events often sell general-admission tickets and are promoted well in advance for those who like planning a themed night out. For locals and visitors alike, the rotating events are a compelling reason to check the schedule beyond a single visit. (theinfernoroom.com)
Practical details are convenient: the bar is centrally located and keeps hours that work for evening plans, with weekday and weekend schedules that accommodate both early cocktails and late-night hangs; it’s also 21+ and geared toward an adult, cocktail-forward crowd. Service can be brisk on busy nights, but staff generally seem experienced at pacing cocktails and helping guests navigate the menu. If you’re in Indianapolis (or planning a visit), The Inferno Room is a standout option for anyone who loves a strong sense of place with their drinks — a tiki-forward, art-filled escape that takes cocktails seriously and does so with a wink.
