The Monkeys Tale

The Monkeys Tale A New Orleans-style bar in (Broad Ripple) Indianapolis that features Karaoke seven nights a week & a drag show once a month.

We are a New Orleans-style music venue conveniently located on the north side of Indianapolis in Broad Ripple Village. Regardless of the season, we always have something going on. We feature Karaoke five nights per week and regional and local talent on Saturday nights. We are happy to host private parties/events and do (from time to time) schedule themed parties (i.e., “Pajama Parties," "Huggie Pa

rties," “Couch Potato Parties” and more). They are loads of fun, even if you just want to watch! Check our calendar for details of upcoming events. You can also follow us on Twitter and LinkedIn so you don’t miss out on the fun. Weather-permitting, enjoy your favorite entertainment under the stars. We feature the biggest (and best) outdoor seating in Broad Ripple with a full bar available. Come on in and enjoy good music, good people and good times!

💔🕯 CANDLELIGHT VIGIL TONIGHT

Friends will be gathering together tonight out front of the Monkey’s Tale old bar location @ 10pm for a candlelight vigil to remember our dear friend and a favorite regular, Dalton Edington, who sadly passed away yesterday in a tragic accident. Today is his birthday, if you would like to stop by and celebrate the life he lived and spread some love and support for each other and throughout the Monkey’s Tale family.
We will forever love you, Dalton.
Rest In Peace. 😔💔

It is with a VERY HEAVY heart to announce that after 35 years in business, The Monkey’s Tale Bar will not be reopening at the current 925 E. Westfield Blvd location. 😔💔💔💔 This is very shocking to us all BUT this doesn’t mean that we are done. We have decided to keep the Monkey’s Tale family together and we will be relocating to a new venue ASAP. We’re so sorry we couldn’t reunite with our regulars as we had planned and hoped for but we’re definitely excited for a bigger and better future for our bar! We love you all so much and hope that you will continue this new journey with us! 🥰

✨✨✨ MONKEY’S TALE UPDATE ✨✨✨

Hello to all of our friends, followers, and regulars! It is time for a much needed update on what’s been going on with us. WE ARE STILL HERE!!! We feel very fortunate to make it through these very difficult times but we have a lot of catching up to do.
If you have driven by the bar you may have noticed that we have been under construction and working on some remodeling. Half of the patio has been made concrete for a more leveled and safe area. The other half will be the same but with new boards. The patio has also been pushed back for some extra room for our KJ’s and Drag Shows.
So as of now we are still working hard on getting all of this finished. We are HOPING to open soon to enjoy a few Fall evenings out on our patio. 🤞🤞🤞 If we do, we plan on doing outside seating only. So we will be working with capacity restrictions and the Mayor’s orders. And HOPEFULLY a surprise DRAG SHOW! It would be an early show. But we will definitely post all of the details once we get everything up and running.
We thank you SO MUCH for your patience and we MISS YOU MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW! Stay safe, healthy, and wear your mask please!!! ✌️💛😷

The Babes are BACK and BETTER than ever this August! Stay tuned for more information!
