- This past Saturday night I finally made the trek out to Indian Motorcycle. It's a place I've always wanted to check out and with a friend's b-day party going on I finally had a reason to go.
I think just about clubber that goes downtown on a Saturday night has probably witnessed the huge line up's at this place that stretch way down Peter St. Since the day this place opened those Saturday night lineups have started at 9:15-9:30 and last until well past 1:00am. Knowing this we tried to get there early...and we arrived at around 9:20. Unfortunately we were too late!! - the lineup was already huge and slow moving. Luckily we knew some people right at the front who got us in. :)
The first thing that I liked about this place was that there is no cover. The second thing I liked about this place is that coat check is free.
The place is nice looking, big and roomy. The first floor is the restaurant portion. Then the next floor up is where most people hang out. It's really just a nice place to lounge...reminds me a bit of Easy and The Fifth. There is no dance floor but lots of leather couches and some pool tables. There is ambient lighting all over and the music is just the right volume that you can easily have a conversation with somebody. The third floor looks like it's the place where people would go to dance. You will find more leather couches up here and it's big and open with space to dance but there is no laser lights or big booming speakers if that's what you are thinking.
The crowd is definitely much much older. Most people are 25-30+...I felt really young and I am 24. However, most people seem really friendly and were very well dressed. The middle floor got fairly busy while the other two floors weren't all that busy. Although when we left around 1:15am there were still people waiting in line to get in.
The music is kinda weird. Don't really know how to explain it...the DJ was all over the place...from old school to R&B to some Dance and old House and to some stuff I couldn't even classify. Mind you, nobody really dances at this place; like I said it's more of a lounge but nevertheless, I wasn't impressed with the music.
Overall it's a very very nice lounge; I enjoyed it. It's a great place if you just want to sit back and chill with a group of friends while sipping some cocktails (which by the way are priced around $7).
Overall rating: 7/10
