The Independent is hard to describe... which I think is what they were going for. Great people and a comfortable atmosphere. Food is American cuisine: salads, sandwiches, fish tacos, all with a little independent flair. Their ribs are dreamy... anyways, the crowd is varied, but definitely on the hipper uptowny side. There are some big-screen TV's perfect for watching games and beautiful waitresses that are helpful and quick. The decor is dim lighting, retro, yet somehow modern and they have a screened in patio on the corner overlooking Hennepin & Lake St. A good beer list and strong cocktails ($4-6) make the night (un)forgettable. If you're looking for something happening on any night, the Independent is usually a safe bet. They are also now doing brunch on Sundays for $10 buffet and a build-your-own bloody mary bar.

The happy hour is good. I would never go to the Indy to meet people though; the crowd is full of suburbanite yuppies and middle-aged creeps (including some of the bartenders.) It's a decent place to have a HH drink with a friend and eat some cheap appetizers before heading elsewhere.

Wow somebody has a grudge and is clearly posting a buncha nonsense. Sure there are pretentious hipsters but it is in uptown, that happens everywhere. Indy has a good atmosphere and comfortable booths what more do you want

Everytime im at that bar the bartenders are super sleazy and care WAY more about getting a phone number instead of getting you another drink! This place is extremely over-rated and loaded with obvious sex-offenders. Dont waste your money or your time, there are plenty of other bars in the 2 block radius where you can get a beer without feeling completely violated by all the staff.

My friends and I have been to the Indy a couple dozen times and have never had an issue with the service or the food. The one time we had a busy bartender accidentally forget to grab our food he made it up to us by paying for it. The Indy is great!
