The apparent closing comes just days after IndyStar published an investigation into violence at Indianapolis bars and clubs that prominently featured Tiki Bob's. Read more here:
, a Downtown bar that police say has attracted hundreds of runs over the past few years, is closing its doors, according to a Facebook post by one of its owners.
Stellema and attorneys for the bar did not respond to messages from IndyStar. When asked about reports of the bar's closing, its other owner, Jason Jenkins, told IndyStar,"I can't confirm anything."that prominently featured Tiki Bob's. It also followed reports of continued problems at the bar over the weekend.A police report shows officers responded to gunfire outside the bar at about 2 a.m. Sunday. Nobody was injured in the shooting.
The board's chairman, Tyler Graves, said Monday the timing of the shooting incident couldn't have been worse for Tiki Bob's owners. Despite the objections, the local alcohol board, which makes recommendations to the Indiana Alcohol & Tobacco Commission, voted in March to renew the bar's license for one year. The ATC upheld the decision.In April, IMPD ran an undercover operation at Tiki Bob’s. Police reported an underage woman used her ID to enter the bar and buy a drink. And a female undercover detective, who is Black, used the ID of a white woman and was allowed to enter.
But IndyStar's investigation, produced in partnership with Fox59, found a pattern of poor oversight, lax enforcement and understaffing at the state agency. As a result, bars and clubs can remain open even after dozens of police runs, multiple shootings and the arrest of the owner. In all, IndyStar's investigation identified more than 600 reports of violent acts tied to several dozen Indianapolis bars, clubs and event centers across the city since 2016. That includes 202 incidents involving gunfire, 37 rapes and sexual assaults and 20 stabbings, according to police reports.The violence has left a grim toll: at least 49 people dead and more than 150 others injured in shootings or stabbings.
