Description: Located in the elegant Omni Severin Hotel, Olives is a popular place for a before- or after-dinner drink. It’s also the only area in the Omni where people can smoke, so the air can get a bit hazy. If you don’t like cigar or cigarette smoke, go somewhere else. True to its name, Olives makes some top-notch martinis, including the signature Key Lime Pie Martini. Many of the patrons are business and leisure travelers staying at the Omni. When the Colts or the Pacers are in town, however, the atmosphere changes considerably. Since Olives is situated between Lucas Oil Stadium and Conseco Fieldhouse, it’s a handy place to grab a drink before heading to a game or to enjoy a cold one while watching the action on the bar’s big-screen televisions. Oversized leather chairs and comfy couches help set the upscale atmosphere. Almost 40 premium cigars are showcased in the fully stocked humidor.
