Welcome to BODHI

Indy’s Thai Craft Cocktail Bar on Mass Ave

About Us

BODHI (“Bow-Dee”) is the Sanskrit-Thai word meaning “Enlightenment”. This 21+ Thai craft cocktail bar and bistro is locally owned and operated with a focus on authentic Thai food, amazing drinks, and impeccable hospitality in a warm and inviting atmosphere. BODHI’s vision is to bring to Indy the flavors a family of three generations of Thai women has enjoyed cooking together over decades.  From the bar, BODHI offers unique and seasonal modern libations created by a talented team of mixologists, as well as curated wine and craft beer lists. The interior is a take on an industrial-chic destination complemented by a patio that evokes an enchanting urban oasis. BODHI is the perfect place to relax and have conversation over your favorite drinks and Thai dishes.

Our kitchen closes one (1) hour before restaurant closing time. Our full bar offerings are provided for our guests to enjoy during the last hour of our restaurant service.

No Reservations Accepted

BODHI operates on a first come, first served basis-no reservations are accepted. Guests must check-in in person to be placed on the waitlist—no call ahead. Bar seatings are part of the waitlist.

Valid & Physical IDs Required

BODHI is a 21+ cocktail bar . Please have your valid form of ID to enter and consume alcoholic beverages. We cannot legally accept photocopies or telephone photos of IDs.

Table Time Limit & Waitlist

Due to our limited and intimate space, we allow all our guests to enjoy their dining experience for 1 hour and 30 minutes (a 15-minute gentle reminder will be provided). This dine-in structure gives our team members the confidence to quote more accurate waitlist time to our guests. Everyone in the party must be present before the group is seated.

If your party is quote 30 minutes or more in wait time, we suggest that your party stop by and support other local establishments in the vicinity for a round of drinks or hours d’oeuvre. Our team member will page your party when the table becomes available and will hold the table for 15 minutes.

Patio Closure

During times of patio closure (winter season, inclement weather, etc.), we become very limited in our seating capacity. In order to properly accommodate our guests, we will only be able to accommodate parties no larger than 8 people during patio closure. We also will not be able to split large parties into smaller tables.

Outside Food/Drink & Pet Policies

Due to Indiana health code, we do not allow outside food or drinks in our establishment, including birthday cakes, desserts, etc.

Pet animals are not allowed in the restaurant, both inside and on the patio.
