Editorial Review for 8 Seconds Saloon – by Ryan J. Downey
The Scene
Located on the west side of town, this warehouselike complex has a gigantic dance floor where hundreds of people line up to two-step. Cowboy boots and gritty machismo are never in short supply but the atmosphere is always fun and friendly. When national country acts or rockers like Eddie Money or the Fixx come to Indy, this is where they play.
The Draw
A number of bottled domestics and imports are available, but if a cocktail's what you're after, ask the bartender to stir up one of the bar's fruity concoctions with names so scandalous you'll blush as you order. There's no cause for bar brawls here, but if it's conflict you seek, put the gloves on and take it to the ring on the club's amateur fight nights. For that softer side, there are free dance lessons on Friday and Saturdays.

Insider Tips
Country Music AlternativeTremors, a modern rock and hip-hop club in the back of the saloon, is perfect if country's just not your thing.
No Droopy DrawersThe club's pretty casual but it does enforce a dress code: no spurs, gang colors, bandanas, sweatpants or drooping, boxer-revealing pants. Now tuck in your shirt and all your chunky jewelry.

I love this bar. It is close to my house. My friends and a hang out at this bar almost every weekend, we walk in say hello to the owners who know us by name, and go straight to the bar. All of the bartenders know us as well as our drinks, so no wait there. The dance floor is HUGE and the music is awsome. The dj keeps the music going till the doors are locked. The best thing is no matter how bad you dance there is always someone that is willing to teach you. They also offer "free" dance lessons every Thursday, and Saturday night Yes the drinks are a lil expensive but i tell you, you will fill it after the second one!! and the food is well food, pizza and nachos, pretzles, popcorn... and now i think they have wings!! This is my # 1 bar, If you dont believe me, check it out yourself~!! You Will go back again and again, who knows the bartender will get to know you and your drinks !! SO CHECK OUT 8 SECONDS SALOON!!! FUN TIMES
Pros: the live music, always a concert of somekind every friday night
Cons: parking lot

This place is easy to find and fun for everyone, no matter what your style! Before Tremors opened at 9 one Saturday, my boyfriend & I enjoyed watching the many line dancers in 8 Seconds. I just have to convince him to take lessons with me so we can join in the energetic crowd. It's a very spacious building so it is pretty easy to navigate even when crowded. They could use more parking though. I definitely recommend!
Pros: Variety, Energetic, Fun
Cons: Parking
