The Vogue: Indy's storied nightclub since 1977
Published: May 28, 2009
One the most popular and storied venues in the Midwest since its opening in the late 1970s, The Vogue has consistently been considered the top night spot in Indianapolis.
An eclectic variety of bands and artists have performed there over three decades, including Bo Diddley, Willie Nelson, John Hiatt, Johnny Cash, Bonnie Raitt, The White Stripes, The Flaming Lips, Cheap Trick, The Dave Matthews Band, and more.
The Vogue is often still referred to as "The Vogue Theater," even though its roots as a movie house ended on Dec. 30, 1977. However, it was a premier location for motion pictures from 1938 until its transformation into a nightclub.
Not only is The Vogue known for great concerts, but over the past 10 years, it's been considered a top dance club in Indy. DJs spin everything from retro to Top 40, hip hop to techno on the 8,000-square-foot dance floor. The Vogue's dance nights are considered the place to be seen among Indy's younger executive and political elite.
Wednesday night’s “Retro Rewind” is one of the most popular nights of the week, with '70s-'90s music, as is “Tease” for the ladies, on Saturday nights, during which women can enter free until 11:30 p.m. It’s all outlined at The Vogue’s website – well worth a look if you’re serious about going there.
Its location just a couple of miles north of downtown in Broad Ripple makes it the perfect location for partyers who want to feel the night life of Indy yet don’t want to get caught up in the traffic of downtown. It makes parking a breeze, too.
Notes: If you're going to The Vogue for a concert, it's best to visit the TicketMaster site for tickets in advance. All concert tickets are general admission. The Vogue is for ages 21 and over at all times. If you're planning to pay by credit card, only Visa and MasterCard are accepted.
