Turntable

Turntable is Forty5’s newest venue and was designed to feel warm, welcoming, and a little tucked away. The front of the space centers on a bar and vinyl listening room, while the back opens into a concert hall built for live music. That split layout gives the venue a different feel depending on where you are inside, which is part of its identity in Broad Ripple.

If you are planning a night out in the area, Turntable sits beside The Vogue and fits naturally into the neighborhood’s live-music scene. It is also used for private events, but the public-facing visitor details below are for standard show visits only.

Turntable is at 6281 N. College Avenue in Indianapolis, in Broad Ripple and directly next to The Vogue. For show nights, look for the entrance next to The Vogue and follow the event signage when you arrive.

Most shows are general admission. The venue does note that a limited number of seats can be offered as premium add-ons, including seat or table upgrades, but those are limited and sold through the event page rather than being the default setup for every show.

The venue’s layout matters here: the front room is a vinyl listening space, and the performance area opens toward the back.

Paid parking is available throughout Broad Ripple, including behind the venue and in the parking garage across the street from Turntable. The FAQ also notes paid parking behind Turntable off Carrollton Avenue, next to the venue on Broad Ripple Avenue, or across the street on College Avenue. Availability and rates can vary by location and event.

Turntable says a limited number of ADA-accessible seats are available for each show on a first-come, first-served basis. Guests are encouraged to reach out in advance by email to reserve if needed, and Guest Services staff are on-site during events to help.

Entry is strictly 18+, and guests should be ready to show valid identification at the door. The venue may ask for up to two forms of ID. Acceptable primary IDs include a current driver’s license, state-issued ID, passport, or military ID, and a credit card or other secondary ID may also be required. Expired and digital IDs are not accepted.

Bags up to 12” x 6” x 12” are allowed. All bags are checked before entry, and non-clear bags may need additional screening. The venue also says all guests and belongings are subject to search, and entry can be denied or a guest removed at the venue’s discretion without refund.

For payment, the box office and bars accept cash, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. Merchandise payment can vary by show.

The box office is open Fridays from 12 to 5 PM and during events starting when doors open. Ticket confirmations are sent by email through Opendate, and if you cannot find a ticket, the venue says staff can look up the order by the purchaser’s name when you arrive.

Cash purchases at the box office have no ticket fees, while card purchases include a small processing fee. The FAQ also says all ticket sales are final unless an artist or the event itself authorizes refunds, or the event is canceled or rescheduled.

Bring a current physical photo ID. Turntable accepts a driver’s license, state ID, passport or military ID, and staff may ask for a secondary form of identification. Expired and digital IDs are not accepted. Keep prescription medicine in its original pharmacy packaging with a name matching your ID, and bring only what you need for the event. Bags and other belongings are subject to inspection.
