The Inferno Room
Indianapolis, Indiana, United States
The Inferno Room opened September 11, 2018 in the Fountain Square neighborhood of Indianapolis, in a building that previously held a Marion County courthouse. This is the creation of longtime tiki devotee Ed Rudisell, in partnership with his wife Sasatorn Rudisell and Chris Coy. The trio have a number of successful restaurants in the Indianapolis area. Rudisell aims to bring his passion for authentic mid-century Tiki to the city.
The drink menu and food menu pay strong tribute to classic Polynesian restaurant menus, executed with quality in mind. Youll find classics from Don the Beachcomber, Trader Vic, and Indianas own Stephen Crane alongside contemporary tiki concoctions from their own Infernal Tribe.
The decor plays to the sense of danger and mystery in tiki, with a particular emphasis on fire. Rudisell took his time with the build-out, to ensure he could bring together the immersive space he desired.
Papua New Guinea artwork is especially featured, with many vintage and many newer pieces on display. Milwaukee artist Dave Hansen of Lake Tiki Woodcrafts (also known as Lake Surfer) hand-carved much of the new art, including the giant PNG mask overlooking the first floor.

We were here for Makahiki event this year. It had been our first time at the Inferno Room and at the Makahiki event. This place was cool for so many reasons mainly because I got to meet so many people that I've been in contact with online. Can't wait to go back next year... Everything was spectacular at this Tiki bar. I'm happy to know that the Midwest has some really cool next generation fully immersive Tiki bars.

The Inferno Room is a "top shelf" tiki bar! It's one of the absolute best in America. Great drinks, good food, and super tiki decor that focuses primarily on authentic Papua New Guinea art. We were in town for a concert, and went twice on the same weekend! Don't miss out on The Inferno Room!
