Welcome to BODHI
Indy’s Thai Craft Cocktail Bar on Mass Ave
About Us
BODHI (“Bow Dee”)
Sanskrit Thai for “Enlightenment.”
Welcome to BODHI — a 21+ Thai craft cocktail bar and bistro where flavor, spirit, and community come together. Locally owned and proudly Indy grown, we mix authentic Thai cooking with modern cocktails, good energy, and the kind of hospitality that feels like home.
Our food tells the story of three generations of Thai women who’ve been cooking, laughing, and sharing recipes for decades. The bar takes that same spirit and spins it into bright, seasonal drinks with Thai ingredients, clever twists, and a whole lot of personality.
Inside feels cozy and industrial chic, with the hum of good conversation and clinking glasses. Outside, our patio is its own little oasis — lush, relaxed, and made for lingering.
BODHI is where you come to eat, sip, and stay awhile.

Kitchen Hours
Our kitchen’s last call is one hour before closing, so you still have time to enjoy a nightcap or a few last bites before we wrap up. The full bar stays open until the final hour of service.
Reservations and Walk-Ins
We’ve always loved the spontaneity of walk-ins, and that hasn’t changed. To help things flow more smoothly—especially during the colder months—we now offer reservations alongside walk-ins.
A card on file is required to book. No-shows or late cancellations may incur a fee, and reservations open 7 days in advance.

Valid IDs Only
BODHI is a 21+ cocktail bar. Please bring a valid physical ID to enter and enjoy alcoholic beverages. By law, we cannot accept photocopies or phone photos of IDs.
Table Time and Waitlist
Because our space is intimate, we keep things flowing with a 90-minute dining time (you will get a friendly 15-minute heads up near the end). This helps us manage wait times and make sure everyone gets a chance to dine.
If you are quoted a wait of 30 minutes or more, we encourage you to explore the neighborhood, grab a drink nearby, or enjoy a little stroll. We will text or page you when your table is ready and hold it for 15 minutes.
Everyone in your party must be present before seating.
Patio Season and Large Parties
When the patio is open, we can seat parties of up to 12 guests outdoors. For larger gatherings, please visit our Private Events page for buyout options.
During patio closure in winter or bad weather, indoor seating is limited. We can accommodate parties of up to 6 guests for both walk ins and online reservations. For groups of up to 8 guests, please contact us directly at (317) 941-6595 to coordinate.
Outside Food, Cakes, and Pets
We love celebrations and are happy to accommodate outside cakes as long as they come from a licensed bakery. A small outside food fee will be added to your bill for service and cleanup.
For everyone’s safety and per Indiana health code, no other outside food or drinks are allowed.
We also love animals, but no pets are allowed inside or on the patio. Service animals, of course, are always welcome.
Accessibility
We want everyone to feel welcome at BODHI. If you or someone in your party needs assistance or special accommodations, please give us a call or email us at info@bodhi-indy.com — our team will be happy to help in any way we can.
