Living Room Lounge Has Fried Chicken and Karaoke Under One Indianapolis Roof

Living Room Lounge is an inexpensive downtown hangout with pool tables, karaoke and a daily 3 a.m. closing time. Start with chicken wings or fried chicken, the food that draws particular praise, and add a beer or cocktail.

Living Room Lounge takes the informal pub approach: classic bar food, pool tables and plenty of reasons to linger. At this downtown Indianapolis spot, karaoke, live music and a jukebox share the entertainment mix with darts; outdoor seating offers another place to settle in.

Chicken is the clearest food draw. Wings are a popular order, and diner feedback singles out the fried chicken for its home-style appeal. The menu is described as short and largely fried, with generous portions. Beer, wine and cocktails round out the choices at a bar whose listed price range is $10 to $20.

The pace depends on the crowd. Diners describe efficient coworker lunches and friendly service, but busy periods bring reports of long waits for drinks and food, along with uneven interactions at the bar. This is a social, group-friendly room that can get packed, rather than a reliably quiet lounge.

Living Room Lounge is at 934 N. Pennsylvania Street and opens daily from 10 a.m. to 3 a.m. Takeout is offered; delivery and reservations are not.
