Why Concert-goers love it

With its prime location near downtown Indianapolis venues like Gainbridge Fieldhouse and Lucas Oil Stadium, High Velocity is a favorite for pre-show meetups. Quick, attentive service means you can grab a meal (and maybe a craft beer or two) without missing a beat. The lively, upbeat vibe makes it perfect for getting in the concert mood, and the huge screens ensure you'll catch any pre-concert coverage or sports action while you dine.
