Okay, wow 🤩 what an awesome place to see a show! We took a road trip to Indianapolis to see Inhaler (if you haven’t heard of them- you will soon!) Wow! Kind of an old-school feel, and just so cool! Super friendly staff. We had a great time!! Thanks Hi-Fi!

Great venue for smaller shows! The bar service was quick and attentive. Big dance floor with the exception of 1 pesky support beam. Parking could be difficult if it's a nice night and there are other things going on in Fountain Square. But I would definitely love to come back for another show, and plan to in November!

Great midsized venue! The sound is always top notch. The staff is always friendly and they always have a large selection of local brews available. Recently we went to post fest. They staggered the outside and inside stage flawlessly. There was a band playing pretty much the whole time. Great festival and venue.

A friend and I visited HI-FI Indy for the first time to see an Australian band, PPC, that we've been following since high school. They were amazing of course! The sound quality is great here. The venue is a room with a stage, there is an option to upgrade your tickets and have VIP seating in the back of the venue as well. There is also a restaurant/bar with restrooms attached to the venue. We didn't eat or grab a drink from there, but perhaps we can give it a try next time ;) The only reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is because its like a SAUNA in this building. Wear your deodorant people.

I attended a concert in the Annex. It was very clean, and despite being outside there were no bugs at all. The staff was very nice, and the exit and restrooms were clearly labeled. The only thing I'd improve is adding signage indicating the HI-FI Annex entrance at the HI-FI Indy entrance. Overall it was very fun and an amazing experience!

Much smaller venue than I would've thought. Im not one for huge crowds so when I went to see The Brian Jonestown Massacre and Flavour Crystals at HI-FI it was a very up close and comfortable scene. Also...I parked about 20 feet from the entrance😁....Was a great night!

Super cool outdoor venue. My daughter and I came into town for The Crane Wives concert, and we had a great time. All of the employees are super nice, and I love the inclusivity they promote.

I love coming to HI-FI for any and every type of show. The room is spacious enough, yet still feels intimate. The bartenders are always really nice as well! Side note: Loved that HI-FI participated in Tonic Ball (huge annual benefit show for Second Helpings and feeding our Indy community) this year and so many years past. Last night at Tonic Ball felt like a positive gathering of community! Maciann was fantastic covering Green Day for Tonic Ball.

Cool venue, sound was great. VIP area leaves a little to be desired. Big container blocking half the view and had to pay 4 bucks for fountain drinks.

We got tickets to attend the Hank FM Birthday Bash and hear Parmalee at their outdoor venue. Be prepared that an outdoor concert at this venue means that you will be standing the entire time. Got there early to be one of the first 15 people to enter so that we could stand close towards the stage, however, we were surprised at the small size of this venue. Being towards the front you are literally right at the performers, very close and personal. All around the perimeter of the lot where the outside concert was they had various vendors with food and drinks for sale. Security did a great job keeping us safe when a fight broke out near us!

This review is for the HI-FI Annex -- I'm obsessed with this outdoor concert venue! It's the perfect size for artists who aren't quite ready for a stadium, but still draw a big crowd. The sound quality is excellent, and the outdoor bars are set up just right. Even with a ton of people there, I never felt packed in and I actually had room to move and dance freely! Can't wait to attend another concert here.

Saw my first show at Hi-Fi last night and had a great time! What a fun little venue. Tickets were only $20 each, so we decided to splurge on a VIP table, which was just an additional $60 for four people ($15 per person). VIP is in the very back, and depending on where you're sitting, some columns might block the stage--a bit of a bummer. But it's on a raised platform, so you can see over the crowd. Plus, the venue is so small that there's really not a bad spot in the house. You also get access to a dedicated section of the bar for quicker service. Drinks are a little pricey considering it's not a huge concert hall. My husband got a Michelob for $7, and paid $11 for a fairly small mule. Not outrageous, but a bit unexpected. Refills are free on soft drinks which is nice for anyone not drinking alcohol. Overall, we'd see a show here again--and we'd probably consider VIP again, at least for the chairs and a place to put our stuff. (Can you tell we're not in our 20s anymore? )

Had a fabulous time last night at the HiFi Annex seeing Lee Fields. The intimate outdoor venue is unique for Indy and a good place to see a show. There are plenty of drink vendors. The sound quality was excellent. We arrived after the opener and walked right up to the stage for the main act. My only beef is with having to use a port a potty. Overall though fantastic!

My husband and I recently attended a concert at the Hi Fi Annex: Murder By Death, one of my favorite bands. First of all, if you haven't heard of them, check them out, they originated in Bloomington and despite their name do NOT have a heavy metal tone - instead their singer is reminiscent of Johnny Cash and their Indie Rock style is supplemented by cello, trumpet, and violin. We had only been to a concert in the original Hi Fi space so I was pleasantly surprised by their outdoor addition, the "annex". Plenty of standing room, nice sound, and pretty well shaded by the evening hours. The food and drink menu was reasonably priced for a concert venue and the boozy slushies were so refreshing on a summer night. Would definitely return to this venue for a great concert experience!

I have a rule. It's more of a general rule than an absolute, but it's a rule I take seriously - if a business isn't truly disability friendly I automatically knock off a star. As an active and independent adult with a disability, I've had too many experiences with inaccessible Indy while trying to spend my hard-earned dollars. However, there are those times when I amend my rule for a variety of reasons including overall experience, adaptive limitations (especially historic buildings), and extenuating circumstances. Indy's Hi-Fi is one of my exceptions. Despite lacking in the accessibility department (I admittedly cringed when one Yelper answered a question about accessibility by pointing to the 1-2 step platformed area. Um, that's not accessible. EVER. Fortunately, one of the owners gently corrected it.). First off, I love intimate venues. They are nearly always more difficult for wheelchair users like myself, but they offer an amazing music experience. The same is true here. You can keep Gainbridge and Everwise and other Ruoff, I'll take a show at Hi-Fi any day of the week. Hi-Fi is located in the Fountain Square area. Hi-Fi has a 400-seat capacity (most concerts are general admission, SRO, with a platform area and a side stage lounge area). Hi-Fi is in the Murphy Arts building and this building used to house the 1200-seat Grenada Theatre in the early 20th century. You can see the history in the building. Hi-Fi includes Hi-Fi, Lo-Fi, and Hi-Fi Annex. Lo-Fi shows are all 21+. Annex shows are almost always all ages with a few 21+ exceptions. Hi-Fi tends to be mostly 18+ with some 21+ including seating areas. There's a parking lot with accessible parking within a block or so. The entry is level to the ground and easy to work. Generally speaking, with venues like this I strongly recommend contacting the venue in advance for accessibility needs. Yes, it's a little obnoxious. However, it makes everything go more smoothly - I've done it both ways and nearly ALWAYS have a better experience with advance contact. Trust me, these folks are music devotees - they want you to have a good experience. They can come closer to making that happen with advance notice. It's good for you. It's good for them. I've not seen a lot of shows here (I'll admit the parking troubles me a bit), but any time I do it's a great experience. You can even have advanced dinner reservations at Easy Rider Diner now. The acoustics here are great and regardless of the genre I've been impressed. For wheelchair users like myself, it can be a bit hit-and-miss in terms of visuals - plan early, find a spot, and go for the best. I've found most of the time audiences are amazing in an intimate venue. They are there because they love the artist and they want everyone to love the artist. I've had a couple shows where they struck me as a tad rude, but BY FAR positive experiences are the rule. There's just a positive vibe here and that usually is true of musicians, concertgoers, and staff. Quite simply, Hi-Fi is one of Indy's true gems. If you haven't been here, you should. If you have accessibility needs, plan ahead and you should be fine.

If you get the opportunity to experience a concert at the H-Fi Annex (the outdoor portion of the venue), then consider yourself lucky. Seeing Broken Social Scene at the Hi-Fi Annex was one of the better decisions I've made in 2023, and it's a memory that I'll carry with me. Imagine being a dozen steps away from a band you've loved for 20 years! That's what it was like seeing a concert here. The weather was perfect, the crowd was cool and respectful, and the beverages options were plentiful. (And not too expensive! A 16-ounce can of Upland Brewing Co. Dragonfly IPA was $9). They had some food options, too, but I didn't eat while I was there. The Hi-Fi is surrounded by restaurants and bars, and you can bring in your own food, if you wish. Bringing in alcohol is not allowed, though. There was a cooler with water and little paper cups by the bar, which was neat. A couple things to note: The Annex is standing-room only, with the exception of a small area with handicapped seating, and a VIP area with picnic benches that are an additional fee. There was plenty of room to move about, and I didn't feel packed in or claustrophobic at all. The only restrooms are port-a-potties, and there is a small wash station right outside the johns. I can't stress how amazing it is to see a band like Broken Social Scene in a venue that's so intimate yet so open. Indianapolis is fortunate to have the Hi-Fi!

Hi! I hate leaving bad reviews but I got sexually harassed at this venue by a homeless person outside. I was by myself. There were no cops or anything around and the doors were shut on me. I tried to talk to them to find a safe place to stay and if I could just sit inside the doors but nothing was done. All I was told to do was go back to my car and I felt unsafe walking back by myself. People were walking in and out of the venue without tickets being checked. I hope they fix this soon because I genuinely love this venue I just feel like they need some more security/cops around actually doing something. ):

Great venue, great band; saw PET SOUNDS LIVE last Saturday 7/12/25. It was an amazing night! ALL of the employees were so accommodating, from the parking area guy to the guy in the ADA section, ticket takers etc. We look forward to seeing many more concerts at Hi-FI! Hodads

Great place to see a show! We saw one tonight and it was the usually awesomeness. It's small enough you feel like you're in the know before someone gets big, but has solid sound quality. Nice bars one either side of the venue and you can't beat Fo Squo for kick a** places to eat or hangout before the show.

Excellent location for indie band concerts! Recently I attended a Toadies show at the Hi-Fi annex, an outdoor setup in the back of the Murphy Art Center in Fountain Square. The lot is well set up with a handful of vendors & concession stands, facilities, and a nicely built stage. Although the crowd grew particularly when the main band began to play, it never felt too congested nor difficult to navigate. Like many Fountain Square locales, the place seems to draw a hip, eclectic vibe & crowd. When buying my ticket, there were issues with the Hi-Fi network, and I couldn't get a print initially. Luckily, I was able to get a ticket copy at a later date without hassle, just a quick ID check. Extra points for customer service! Rockin' place for a good show!

I think I've been to around 10 shows here so far since moving back to Indy. Phenomenal venue. They book a ton of great up and coming acts. The Annex in the summer is a great addition. First Fridays up in the LoFi lounge are also great! I have tickets for 6 shows in March!!! Recommend buying your tickets at the store to save on fees and use the money saved to buy some merch or eat at their restaurant Easy Rider!

Such a fun spot to have a couple drinks and listen to great music. Great bartenders too! We try to go to a concert every month. I love how close you can get to the artists performing.

This is one of my favorite concert venues in Indy! I love live music, and this is a venue where I can enjoy it. It's smaller, so you can get up close and see the bands. I'm short, so that matters! Since you're close, bands often interact with the audience. Even though it's smaller, it never seems to get too crowded. You don't feel like you're standing on top of each other. And I've never been shoved around here. The sound has always been good at the shows I've been to. I can hear everyone - instruments and lead singer. There's a decent beer and drink selection. They're priced at what you'd expect to pay at a concert venue. Since it's in Fountain Square, there are plenty of restaurants and bars to go to before, or possibly after, a concert. I'm always happy when I notice a band I want to see is at the Hi-Fi.

The Hi-Fi is an Indy gem. The venue allows guests to feel seen by the artists, and it's a magnetic feeling. They also have great drinks. I've never had a bad time when I'm at the Hi-Fi.

I've visited this place for a few concerts. I was dragged along by a friend to see G Love (without Special Sauce) and then another friend took me to see a hot brass band a few weeks ago. I'm surprised they manage to make it work so well in a small space in Fountain Square. Whoever runs sound knows what they're doing. Running sound at a small venue that gets hot really fast isn't an easy undertaking! There's seating in the back for people who need it. The bar staff does a great job of handling the volume of orders. Bathrooms are clean. Just be aware that you'll be paying $8 for a Pachanga on draft, which is not too strange nowadays at concert venues. Staff has to get paid!

This was my first chance to visit HiFi in Fountain Square! Saw Atmosphere who did not underperform!! I mainly want to say how friendly and professional the staff were! From the security to the bartenders, everyone was extremely respectful! Thank you so much

I enjoy inside wayyy more than the outside. The inside the stage is higher so even short people can see and the drink options are better. Inside has actual bathrooms versus porta pots outside. I like draft beer and inside had way more options.

Small concert venue in Fountain Square area. The concert we went to was sold out at around 200 people. We waited outside to get a spot at the front and there are some benches. Couple of restaurants nearby and a rooftop bar down the street. Stage is small and standing room only. Bar area and drinks available. The acoustics were very good. My only complaint was that it was around 70 degrees when we went in but got up to 85 degrees once the room was full and stayed around that the entire show. It didn't feel like there was any air movement.

First time visiting since 2019. Saw a great and " Chamber Music ". I love the Annex; spacious, nice crowd, nice huge Dock Shipping crates turned into concession stands are a cool touch. Just really overall injects even more life into the area after a long long year of shutdowns, quarantine. Can't wait for more &more acts to come to this venue. I'll be there.

First time going to the Hi-Fi and I have to say I was very impressed. The sound in the venue was great and not too overwhelming for a rock show. Drinks were reasonably priced and it was easy to get in and out of the venue. Bathrooms were top notch compared to some of the smaller venues I have been to.

Chill, intimate venue with both an indoor and outdoor concert space. They have reasonably priced shows most nights of the week. I didn't have any, but the bar has boozy slushies which look good. Indy is lucky to have this venue!

Thank you, HI-FI, for teaching me how amazing intimate concerts are. Everyone at these concerts is truly there for the music, making it such a special evening of passionate fans. We came to see The High Kings, who traveled all the way from Ireland to perform. It was a blast to be able to interact with the band - having banter between the audience and them, and also being able to meet them after. The whole crowd was singing along and dressed in Irish clothing. True fans. I love how the bar is constructed: drums as the lights, drumsticks as taps, etc. I see what you did there, HI-FI. There's a decent selection of beers including some local Sun King favorites. You have to pay for water, but it goes to a good cause. Tickets are reasonably priced and this place always has a constant line-up of good bands. Check them out!

A seriously great venue! Being a lover of smaller more intimate shows, I often find myself at divey places with terrible sound. Not the Hi Fi! Perfect size for a small but energetic show and the sound is good! They have a variety of shows all the time so definitely a venue to check out who's playing. They have a full bar with a good beer selection. There aren't many seats (the times I've been there usually a just a few VIP in the back) In a great neighborhood with street parking and plenty of places to hang, eat and drink pre or post show!

My friends and I went to a concert at the outdoor annex and had the best time! I had no idea that a venue like this existed in fountain square! There's a bar that never had too long of a line despite the large crowd at the venue. The bathrooms are porta potties but it didn't bother me at all- they were relatively clean and there was a spot to actually wash your hands with soap & water. I can't speak to the indoor venue but I definitely recommend the outdoor annex venue and will be returning!

Great small venue, saw a small folk act here, drove 2.5 hrs to see a show that my daughter and friend really wanted to see. Great place to see a small show. Took away one star for the small $9 beers,,, would be a better experience without the gouging beer prices...

If you like intimate settings with nothing but great views of your favorite bands, this is your place. Oh, not to mention the great tap list available for reasonable prices (compared to other live music venues). I've seen several shows here and have not been disappointed yet. The stage and acoustics are fantastic and you can get real close to the musicians. It's a great experience. If you see a band in town you like, or just wanna check out someone random, don't pass up HiFi.

I am writing to update my review as the Hi-Fi has now been expanded and has more than doubled in size! Was it too tiny for you before? - No worries, it's more than doubled in size and it's much more comfortable now! Were the restrooms absolutely disgusting before? - Yes, they were, everyone will admit that. No worries, though, because the restrooms have been remodeled and are completely brand new! Were you annoyed with all of the people walking in the back hallway from other stores? - They've blocked it off now, so only Hi-Fi guests will be allowed in the back hallway near the restrooms. Was the stage too small for you? - It's also doubled in size! Enjoy local art? - They're now featuring a local artist by having him/her feature their artworks of upcoming artists in the back hallway by the restrooms - such an awesome idea to bring together the art community! Wasn't enough seating before? - They've added tons more seating, high tops and low tops. Feeling like having your own area with more lighting? - They've created a VIP-esque area in the back of the venue with dimmed lighting during the shows. Phone about to die? - No worries, most (if not all) of the outlets have two places to insert a USB charging cable so you don't have to worry about not taking enough Instagram photos, Boomerangs, Snapchats, or Facebook Live videos throughout the shows. Wasn't sure where to purchase tickets? - They've added a box office out front! Still looking for tons of local brews? - No worries, they've got TONS of brews on tap, along with wines and spirits too! All in all, it was a much needed, amazing upgrade that will bring in so many more different artists than they already have on their lineup. They did a great job. My only concern: coat / purse hooks throughout the venue, so guests don't have to carry their purse/jackets/coats the entire show. Awesome job Josh and the rest of the Hi-Fi team!

There's no Yelp feature that measures cool-ness of a venue but if there was it would be off the charts for the Hi-FI. They have the coolest staff, bring in the coolest performing acts, and offer the most-rad selection of local beverages at their bar. Everything is reasonably priced and the venue is the right size for an intimate evening of entertainment. Acts range from those local to Indy to international acts from across the globe. This year alone I've been able to see locals Jeff Kelly and the Graveyard Shift and the Moxxies, national touring acts like Mikaela Davis and Thunderpussy, and even caught the fantastic Shonen Knife - all here at our little local establishment - the HI-FI. Added bonus: They remodeled and doubled their space a while back. If you haven't been since it was a hole in the wall, do yourself a favor and make a return trip in 2019.

What a killer little venue. I drove 5 hours to see a show at The Hi-Fi and though I'm sure I would have enjoyed that show in almost any decent venue this one just put icing on the cake. First off it's a smallish venue which makes for a more intimate show. Second off it's clean and well taken care of--including the bathrooms--that's almost unheard of for a smallish rock club. The acoustics are good, the staff is friendly--things that should go without saying but are rare enough to warrant a highlight for sure. To top it all off there's a ton of great beers on tap on the menu at fair prices, a full bar, some economical can options, and a long bar that runs about the course of the venue that makes for super quick service and an easy back and forth from your standing position. The show was great and this was by far one of the best venues I've been to in any city in some time, notably better (in terms of sound, drink selection and cost, etc.) than the last venue I trekked to Indianapolis to catch a show at. If another lineup as killer as the one I caught this time comes through and I have the time for the trek up I will definitely come back to The Hi Fi.

Hi-Fi was new for me for sure. I went for the Ro James and BJ The Chicago kid concert and I love the performance but that is not what i am reviewing lol The location is small. I expected something bigger but that doesn't take away from the venue. It's mad cute for a small concert. I also heard they have club nights apparently as well that I will have to check out. I would like to come and check out a local artist here. The bathrooms were clean like I like it because if you have never been in a ladies bathroom, be thankful. The drink prices were affordable which is a plus as well.

What a fun way to see live music! Small, but roomy. Standing room only unless you snag a table along the side or upgrade to VIP table ($50 as of this writing). Came to see a friend play, and we enjoyed the other acts as well. The bar has a ton of nice craft beer options as well as other beverages in case that isn't your thing. The VIP tables are at the back of the room and slightly elevated so you trade some of the proximity to the stage for more room and a seat. I hope I get to come back! Fun night out, and I like the venue.

This is THE place to be on First Friday in Indianapolis. You can count on a great band playing, cold brews and cool people. On occasions they'll have an art exhibit. I purchased my first major work from Aaron Scamihorn at his show here in August 2012 as we celebrated my daughter's 16th birthday. It's now 21+, but the kiddos can tag along and see other exhibits throughout the Murphy Arts building. Great venue!

Went to see a live show at the HiFi annex last nite! Great venue!! Perfect for social distancing. The bar has a good selection of drinks, you can get food from Pure Eatery, or they have popcorn. There are some picnic tables, a few high top tables along and a good size area where you can put your own lawn chair. Great to be able to see live music again!!!!

Drove two hours to see a show only to be told by the bouncer that I can't get in without a vaxx card. It's February of 2022. These people know that a vac doesn't keep you from getting COVID or spreading it. It's a completely unnecessary intrusion into people's personal lives, and it left me feeling so angry that I can't see a musician just because I have made a personal choice to not get an experimental vaccine that doesn't even make a difference for public safety. Shame on you, Hi-Fi!

I recently attended an outdoor concert at the hi-fi and had a blast! We were able to purchase tables at the event, although I realized once there they were allowing people to bring in soccer chairs to sit in. The security staff was very aware and often reminded concert-goers to keep masks on. The alcohol selection was a bit odd. The only draft beer they had at the event was Sun King and then PBR and Lone Star bottles. Ultimately it was nice to be at a show again with a staff that was very cautious and mindful of COVID-19 precautions. Would love to attend in the summer when it's warmer or for an indoor show!

Cool looking stage! The venue doesn't have many obstructing pillars or anything so it's a good view from the front, side, or back. We came here for a small show and it was awkward at first but once it filed up a little, it was a very decent show. They have a full bar with a lot of rare craft brews. There are some tables on the sides and in the back.

Awesome place to see up-and-coming bands! My first time at the Hi-Fi seeing The Beths, and it was rocking good time! Everyone should take the time to check out some of the upcoming bands playing at the HiFi to find something that they would enjoy. The venue is a standing room with a few tables and seats to the sides. My husband was in a foot brace at the time of our show, and I asked the staff for one chair so that he could sit. They accommodated my request, without question. Rock on! Pros - Huge range of shows to choose from - Reasonably priced tickets - Space is larger that it used to be - Great selection of local craft beers on tap - Friendly staff and service Cons - Not that many seats, unless you buy the VIP seats for $30+

Great music venue in the heart of Fountain Square. There is always some good local/regional acts, as well as touring artists who play at The Hi-Fi. Shows are scheduled frequently throughout the week, and on certain nights local DJs are there to showcase their talents. Most shows are ticketed, but free shows are available from time to time, especially on First Fridays, The venue itself is fairly small and narrow, but the view of the stage is fine from anywhere. There is also a raised area near the windows with limited seating. As far as sound, it's actually not as loud as other indoor venues. My preference is to hang in the raised area, which is not as loud but still has a decent view. To quench your thirst, the bar is well-stocked for mixed drinks and has rotating taps of local brews. Next time you are up for some live music, check out The Hi-Fi. It makes for a great stop as you hop from place to place throughout Fountain Square.

Located in the Murphy Arts Building in Fountain Square is this great local intimate venue for live music. Last night I went to see Holler on the Hill featuring Stephanie Lambring, Tejon Street Corner Thieves, and Amigo the Devil. Right now the Hi-Fi is requiring all of its patrons to be vaccinated and provide proof of vaccination. They did a great job emailing in advance the best way to check in. I downloaded the Bindle app per Hi-Fi's encouragement to help with pre-covid screening check in. There was plenty of security and staff to assist. Once checked in you receive a wristband and head in. They have a great bar with tons of selections. Staff were super quick and helpful. They do encourage face masks however there AC was either turned off or low or it was just really hot in there since it was an almost sold out show-I didn't wear my mask since it was so hot. By end of the night I'd say just about everyone was soaked in sweat. Restrooms are located near the stage and were pretty clean. Merch table is right when you walk in and staff were on it. They do have an outdoor annex but since the weather looked bad they played inside this evening. I enjoyed my night and I know I'll be back for future shows.
