World-class entertainment deserves a menu to match.

Our menu, created by our friends at the Jazz Kitchen, was designed to suit the refined tastes of our patrons and features everything from small plates and shareables, to full entrees and gourmet desserts. We also have the best bartenders in town (spoiler alert: they’re also from the Jazz Kitchen) to serve up craft cocktails, curated wine, and more.

There’s no food or beverage minimum, but trust us – you’ll want to indulge.

If you plan on dining with us, we recommend arriving at least one hour prior to showtime (doors typically open an hour and a half before showtime unless otherwise noted). If you find yourself in need of a cocktail or nosh mid-show, don’t worry – food and beverage service will continue throughout the performance.

Our outdoor summer series, The Alley Sessions, has a limited menu. Those details will be available here at a later date.

"This space is truly what a cabaret is meant to be... an intimate setting of hightops and enclosed booths help the audience feel special and a lone piano with small, personal stage complete the picture."
Broadway World
“Awesome venue! I tell everyone I know about The Cabaret and encourage them to see a show.”
Cabaret Guest
“Indy's posh landing pad for Broadway stars on Pennsylvania Street.”
Indy Star
The beauty of the Cabaret lies in the spontaneous nature of each show. Unlike well-known musicals, with cabaret, audiences never know what to expect next. Artists can choose to sing old standards or an original number. They can share personal stories or make jokes with random people in the crowd.
Melissa Hall, Stage Write Indy
“Best in class. A truly delightful experience - over the top!”
Cabaret Guest
“One of the best environments for serious music fans in town!”
Cabaret Guest
“The Circle City’s swanky new cabaret space is Broadway’s latest buzz. Old Hollywood meets urban chic in a softly lit chandelier-filled room that holds 190 people—no seat in the house is more than five rows from the stage—it feels like Lea Salonga is giving her life story for you. Stick around for a meet and greet after the spellbinding serenade."
Indianapolis Monthly
“We looked at the many places where we could spend our money for entertainment and realized there was no venue that came close to The Cabaret. The venue and staff simply make this venue the best in Indianapolis.”
Cabaret Guest
“My favorite thing in the world is to connect with people, break the fourth wall, improvise, make people laugh, and talk directly to the audience. Cabaret is basically everything I like to do, all in one.”
Tony Award-winner Laura Benanti
"Attending a cabaret show can feel like you're part of a (very stylish) secret society. It's you, the audience, seated at tables, sipping wine or a cocktail, with the vocalist, perhaps fresh off of Broadway, just a few feet away on stage."
Indianapolis Monthly
