Country superstar Blake Shelton has announced new Ole Red location in Indianapolis.
Set to open in late 2027, Ole Red Indy will be located just blocks from Gainbridge Fieldhouse - home of the Indiana Pacers and Indiana Fever - and other downtown entertainment.
Boxcar Development and Opry Entertainment Group announced that Ole Red - the bar, restaurant and live music venue inspired by Opry member Blake Shelton - is a 37,000 square foot multi-level location, found in the heart of the Fieldhouse District at 231-235 S. Meridian Street.
"Indianapolis is a market we have admired for some time, and we are thrilled to have a like-minded partner who shares our vision and is helping lead the continued evolution of the downtown entertainment district," said Shelton and Colin Reed, Executive Chairman of Opry Entertainment Group. "We look forward to expanding the Ole Red brand and creating a best-in-class entertainment and hospitality destination for the Indianapolis community."
Of the announcement, Shelton shares, "Man, the energy in this place is just unreal. Every time I come through, I catch myself thinking up reasons to hang around a little longer. You put a city together that loves sports and country music this much, well, that's about as good as it gets for me. Here we come Indy!"
Inspired by Shelton's 2001 hit by the same name, Ole Red combines a made-from-scratch, Shelton-inspired food and drink menu with a concert-quality live music experience. OEG has opened other Ole Red locations in Nashville, Las Vegas, Orlando, Gatlinburg, and in Shelton's hometown of Tishomingo, Oklahoma.
