Worst Seats in the House: A Review of Indy's Drunken Depths

Let's dive into the crappiest corners of Indy's nightlife scene with a review of "Drunken Depths." This establishment claims to be the most legendary spot for thirsty patrons, but let me tell you, some seats are best left untouched.

First off, the view from the far end is about as appealing as a moldy bagel. You're staring at a wall of spilled drinks, and the only thing vibrating is the crowd swaying to that one song on repeat.

Speaking of music, it's a constant deafening assault on your sensibility. If you value your hearing at all, steer clear. The crowds are packed, which can be fun for some, but if you're looking for a enjoyable night out, this ain't it.

And let's not forget the decidedly pungent scents that follow you home. I wouldn't recommend wearing your favorite shirt here unless you want to donate it to charity.

Honestly, this place is...an experience. Just be prepared for a night of sensory overload, and maybe pack a nose plug or two.
