John and Lauren Larner tell us more about the Patron Saint, a New Orleans-inspired voodoo dive bar.

About: 

Industry veterans John Larner (originally from New Orleans), Slater Hogan and Brandy Allen-Harveth partnered to operate, create and develop the space set to open to the public on Saturday, Nov. 10.
Able to hold 186 people, Patron Saint will feature a rich color scheme reflecting New Orleans flair coupled with the charm of a dive bar. One-of-a-kind art installations by local artists Shane Brown and Brian Presnell will include murals, an Ouija board ceiling rendering and custom-made wall art. 

Patron Saint will focus on featuring specialty drinks associated with New Orleans, including:
•      Hurricanes (created in New Orleans in the 1940s)
•      Gin Fizz Machine (Henry C. Ramos invented the Ramos gin fizz in 1888 at his bar, the Imperial Cabinet Saloon on Gravier Street in New Orleans)
•      Absinthe fountains
•      Abita Beer (New Orleans-based brewery)
•      Sazerac (using Herbsaint, a substitute absinthe crafted in New Orleans)
Additionally, the space will include a Patron tequila shine featuring two frozen drink options, one batched cocktail on draft and shots of Patron on draft. 

Specific programming will include:
•      Proper every Thursday (underground house and techno)
•      Latin Night every Friday
•      Open format every Saturday
•      First Sunday of the month: Saved featuring Action Jackson and Gabby Love (disco and indie dance)
•      Second Sunday of the month: Confessions featuring Lemmy Vice and Gigante (90s and 2000s R&B)
•      Third Sunday of the month: Rapture featuring Cool Hand Lex (Blog house)
•      Fourth Sunday of the month: Savior Sundays featuring DJ Mass Appeal and Cadillac G (tech house)
Located in the heart of Indianapolis at 250 S. Meridian Street, Patron Saint will be open seven days a week from 7 p.m. – 3 a.m.
