Versatility is at the core of our company, allowing us to cater to a wide range of events, from elegant weddings to corporate functions and everything in between. Our magnificent custom bar, positioned on the north side of the room, serves as a central gathering place for conversations, creating a captivating focal point. The expansive windows provide sweeping views of the surrounding cityscape, creating an inviting and dynamic atmosphere.
Local artists like Sheena Birt from Color Story Studio brought their creative flair to our venue, crafting stunning light pieces that grace our space, including chic designs in the green room and unique rope lighting above the bar. Loran Bohall of Bohall Design and Fabrication has left his mark with intricate woodwork, featuring detailed window trims and gorgeous sliding barn doors made from rare ash trees. His craftsmanship can be seen in the live-edge shelving behind the bartop and the striking fire door at our entrance, adding an artistic touch to every corner of our venue.
One of the standout features of the second floor is our ‘green room’; a serene retreat located just off the main event space. Adorned with lush green house plants, vintage furniture, a captivating custom light installation and a beautifully crafted sliding wood door crafted from a reclaimed ash tree, this oasis offers a tranquil space for everything from a space for the bridal party to prepare or a sanctuary for VIP guests seeking solace from the festivities. Step out onto the small veranda, illuminated by enchanting café lights, and relish in breathtaking views of the up-and-coming downtown Indianapolis skyline. This charming outdoor space invites guests to unwind while savoring delectable food and refreshing beverages.
Complementing the second floor’s appeal is Provider Café, a cozy coffee shop occupying the first floor of the building. As daylight fades, Provider Café transforms into an intimate and inviting space available for private event rentals. The interior exudes a warm and welcoming atmosphere, providing an ideal setting for mingling and socializing. On pleasant evenings, the spacious patio becomes a haven for networking, dancing, and live music, enhancing the versatility and allure of the venue.
