About Independent Bar and Cafe

The Independent Bar and Cafe, located in a former gas station on Florida Avenue, offers a cozy and homey atmosphere with attentive and friendly service. The beer selection is praised for being crisp, fresh, and plentiful, with staff willing to provide samples to help customers choose. The menu features a variety of options, including the pretzels with mustard and beer cheese, "The Rob" roast beef on weck with horseradish sauce, and the Cuban sandwich. The Ruben and the Indy salad are highly recommended, and the perogies are super buttery and crispy. The place has a relaxed, laid-back vibe and is a really chill, unpretentious bar with live music. There is ample seating outside and in on a busy street, and it is pet-friendly. The beer selection includes both European and local beers, with rotating options available on draft and in bottles or cans. The menu complements the beer and wine well, making it a great spot to hang out. Visitors should note that parking is extremely limited. The restaurant also offers vegan options like the vegan tempeh reuben and tempeh tacos, which are highly enjoyed by plant-based diners, showing that the place caters to a variety of tastes. Overall, the Independent remains a favorite local spot, known for its friendly staff and solid food.
