We came to 8 seconds for the David Lee Murphy show. Super friendly staff at the door... soon as as you past the door you are greeted by bartenders that don't tell you what's going on... after three buckets of beer at 17.50 and 3 diet drinks for a DD at 2.75 a piece.. We was told we could but a bracelet for our DD for 10 bucks. Which we would of totally done in instead of 2.75... after talking to the bill a second time he took care of your DD. read more

If you love country and haven't been hear yet, put it at the top of your list! although it may not seem like the best spot from the looks, it is one of my favorite places to go, even comparing to downtown. They have big name country artists year round for a fraction of the cost you would pay at Klipsch or anywhere else. There is multiple bars, food, line dancing, good company, and good country music! Throw on some boots and find your favorite concert and try 8 Seconds out! You won't regret it! read more

It was our first time at 8 Seconds Saloon. Had a great night. Tickets were $12, cold buckets of beer were $17 and a T-shirt for $20. So much fun! Thanks for a great experience that is affordable and fun! read more

They are so over priced! I asked for a Vegas Bomb and they said it was $11 but you get to keep the Red Bull. Really? BUCKETS ARE $17.

Guess we picked a horrible night for a Bachelorette party, warm up band was so loud and not country , my ears hurt after 2 songs ( band was called outlaws and moonshine.). I felt so bad for my daughter. October 9, 2015. Won't be back, ever!! read more

I have to 8 seconds many times.Just went there last night to see Big Smo and really disappointed in the way replace has changed.They no longer get bands from Illinois like Hazzard County when they use to play there or a great band called Cadillac Jack Instead they get bands we have all seen b4 at big venues and the funny thing is the smaller home town bands bring in more people.Get a clue management get back to local bands. read more

Dave the DJ is FANTASTIC! He always plays our requests in a timely manner and keeps the party going!

Enjoy dancing here. Went this past Saturday and found out they no longer play the national anthem at 9 pm like they have forever. Very disappointed and sadden by this. read more

if you want to two step....it's the place to go. always a good time. and they teach line dancing!

This place is definitely a great place to be on a Friday. There's usually a smaller country name playing and ticket prices range from $5-$10 usually. There's line dancing, drinking, and something for everyone. The line dancing can be intimidating but if you jump in and catch on, people will help you out. Better yet, come on Wednesdays!!! They have FREE dancing lessons and ladies get in free! How cool is that?! read more

The food here is just as expected (bar food), but the drinks are cheap and plentiful, the pool tables are ready for you to play on, and there is a mechanical bull. What more could you want? There are also big screen TVs, a friendly wait staff, and a decent location. I found this place sort of on accident and hope to go back next time I'm in Indy. read more

I went here for a concert recently. The parking lot was large and well lit, so there was no trouble finding a spot early in the evening. The food is terrible, even for bar food. They have really sad looking pizza that looks like it has been in the warmer for a week. The nachos are stale chips with that yellow melted "food product" that contains no flavor or cheese and a generous amount of canned jalapeno slices if you pay extra. The beer is $4.75 so that can get expensive in a hurry, but I imagine that is how they can offer the concerts at a discount price. The opening band didn't start until 9:30 but only played for 40 minutes. Then we waited until after 11:00 for the headliner to start and they were done by 12:10. I guess they expect you to line dance or ride the mechanical bull while you wait. The sound system sucked. I mean it really sucked. If we had not known some of the songs we would not have been able to tell what they were singing. We had a front row seat, right up at the stage but they have so many chairs packed in that you can hardly move. If one person at the table needs to go to the restroom, the entire table (and the the people at the neighboring table) have to move so you can get out. And about the bathrooms... in the men's room there was a guy with a suitcase full of "amenities" that he was trying to sell. One of the guys with us said every time he went to wash his hands the hawker practically shoved the fancy hand towel in his hands before he was done washing them, and then he expected to be paid for his pushy service. It made the guys really uncomfortable. The ladies room did not have this "service" and was just a general mess with broken overflowing toilets and faucets that did not work. The worst part was the smoke. The ventilation system must be non-existent and you choked on the acrid smoke. Once the place filled up with people, there was so much smoke you could hardly see for the haze. I don't recommend this place unless you are a chain smoker, into heavy second hand smoke and just can't find anything else to do. read more

Had a great time line dancing.....great place to learn new steps and dances.....very country.....if you aren't wearing your boots you will feel out of place....full service bar....we did not try the food though we thought it to be reasonably priced....drinks reasonably priced.....cover charge was $5.00 but someone in line gave us 2 free passes....friendly patrons..... read more

I've been to 8 Seconds several times, and each time has been more disappointing than the previous. Most recently, I attended a performance by a classic outlaw country artist, one of the last from his era. The average age of those in attendance was 35 to 60. So I was baffled as to why the house dj spent so much time playing pop country/tractor rap, and actual rap music before the show. The 3 or 4 classic country songs he played were met with applause and voices rose up in song, but all that apparently fell on deaf ears. Additionally, all those with general admission tickets were restricted to half of the general admission area to allow for dancing, which I've never experienced there before. Pushing X-number of people into half the space they're meant to occupy makes for an uncomfortable concert-going experience. I'd be hard pressed to return to 8 Seconds, as it has simply become unenjoyable. read more

8 second saloon sells VIP standing tickets so you can be closer to the stage. What they forget to tell you is that they don't care if you paid a little extra. They moved the barrier in front of the stage and put a whole row of extra people in front of us. We had been standing there since the doors opened at 6pm and this whole row of people just gets put right in front of us. My fiance is 4'11" and had a 6' tall person standing in front of her. What a great show. Would not recommend. I would put 0 stars if I could. read more

This is pretty much the only country bar I know in Indianapolis. They have pretty awesome concerts. I just went to Eric Paslay last Friday. Also, they have a massive dance floor in the middle to line dance on! This place is pretty cool. I recommend. I also recommend ordering a Alabama Slammer. They make a good one here! read more

Celebrating my b-day in Indy back in May! I went to Saddle Up on a Friday night and then 8 seconds on a Saturday night! 8 Seconds has changed from what it was 5 years ago but it's still a good place to hang out and line dance! I would mostly prefer saddle up over 8 seconds because they do more line dancing there! I would still go back! read more

Great place to have a night out line dancing! The people are nice and entertainment is pretty good too.

People complain about this place saw Craig Morgan last night. The place was packed had a great time better experience than Ruoff cheap beer 1/3 the price of others for concerts. will for sure go back looking for tickets now for next concert. read more

I like eight seconds it's a good experience great place to get your country on, although I really do not like going there because their carpet. The carpet looks and feels Like a petri dish of humanity, The owner must seriously consider buying carpet for his joint, before I return. It's a wonder that the health department hasn't forced his hand. This country club will have to go on without me till this carpet is replaced. read more

This was an okay venue. No clear direction on where you're allowed to stand and there's random sections blocked off. When we left after the concert we were triple parked. There are no lines to direct parking and no security to direct either. We had to wait for cars to move in order to get out. Terrible. read more

frank foster concert was amazing last night. this place has the best staff . this was our first time . katie took care of us all evening to make sure we had the best night out she even scored us meet and greet passes. Dwayne could not have been nicer i believe he truely wanted us to have a good time and we did. i dropped my husbands drink and the bar tender replaced it this was totaly my fault however she replaced it anyway. they have lots of fun activities to do while you wait for the show (line dancing. pool tables. mechanical bull. arcade games) so there is no down time. only bar i have ever been to where you can have a drink . have a pizza and they will hold on to your left over pizza untill you are ready to leave. i cant say enough good things about this place. if you are thinking about seeing a concert here you won't be disappointed . we had a blast . thank you read more

This is my first time here. A friend won tickets on a radio show. We got here around 6. Bought wrist bands to be in the stage area. We were having a good time at a table that was not numbered or reserved and just after the first act went on, we got moved to seats further away; crowded with people. They don't tell you where to sit. And i have asked people to see thier tickets and they are not at the assigned table corresponding with thier ticket. I was saying that I really liked this bar until we were asked to move from a table that wasn't numbered or reserved for someone that just came in the bar. On top of that, the people that took our table threw away our food. Not happy. Not cool. read more

This place was a pretty fun place to see a concert. The pretzels and cheese were good, the drinks were good, and plenty of dance floor room. My one complaint was the music was so loud we couldn't understand what the singer was singing. I've heard this from other people as well. And just to be clear I'm not some old man that thinks all these kids turn down they're loud music... I'm in my 20s and like my music loud, but I also like to be able understand the words. But over a decent place. read more

If you like bathing in your own sweat, this is your place. No air conditioning! Dirty. Bathrooms are gross. Line dancing has shifted from county to rock and more hip hop music. read more

Great country bar. Plenty of room for line dancing (if you're in to that), and quick drink and food service. The smoking patio area is relatively small for a concert crowd. Bathroom are clean. read more

Decent place because they serve alcohol, but beyond that fact they park vehicles three deep which means there was about 30 people literally "stuck" and couldn't leave the venue due to being blocked in by other vehicles. On-site cop and the venue wanted nothing to do with assisting me other than telling me to "call an Uber". BS read more

Went to one concert, the food was awful and the drinks were too expensive. Wouldn't recommend

The music is usually pretty good. The food leaves something to be desired. The drinks are on the expensive side but they use good alcohol and make the drinks pretty stiff so you don't feel cheated. read more
