The Independent

Our secret little dive bar. Nice and cozy on the weekdays with different flavors of trivia and even a DnD night! Typical bar food and staff is great !

Both times I've been here I've witnessed the bartenders being hostile to patrons for no reason. It feels like it's just a private club for the bar staff and their friends.

This is my absolute favorite bar in all of Atlanta, possibly the whole world. The staff are always wonderful and personable, the drinks are inexpensive, and the vibes are immaculate. There’s nothing better than coming out of a movie at the theater next door, walking into the Indy, and seeing communities come together during a tabletop gaming night or a trivia night. This is the best bar periodt.

Great dive bar with lots of pool tables! Great for casual going out! Over all pretty great.

Expensive junk food and reheated fries. On top of that, we received bad customer service from two of the employees. Definitely not worth it. We spent $100 in just one hour and only got to play around 15 minutes overall because they weren’t clear that time was still being charged while we were ordering and eating.

Friendly and attentive staff. The vibe is always nice for a fun night with good music variety. Food can be pricy for the portions and limited, but the fries and salads are delicious.

Showed up at 115 am on a Saturday and was refused service because they did last call even though they close at at 2. Don’t recommend.

The bartender was rude and sarcastic, not a diverse environment

My favorite bar in ATL, which isn't saying much. Even when I came regularly we only went to maybe a dozen different bars, half of which are no longer in operation. This place is still here after+10yrs of me coming around. Gone are the old consoles and intouch bar top games. They still have several pool tables, dart boards, jukebox and board games, along with cheap drinks and good eats. They got a little classy on me and stopped selling the 24oz cans of PBR so I had a couple of two hearteds instead. No ex to help me clear the leader board on erotic photo hunt(FUPAYME!), so I sat and read. Chatted with a couple of the bartenders and locals until they shut it down. There's outside seating weather permitting, and free 2hr parking.

Wish I could leave Kim a million stars! Never left a review before but I had to for our girl. —would love to see more vegan options on the menu but it’s a classic pool hall so won’t take away stars for that. Thanks for taking such good care of us! Will be back!

Great atmosphere but the bartender was a little too comfortable making racist jokes.

Moriah and Kimberly are the best bartenders around. My second time at independent bar and love it. Moriah and Kimberly will take excellent care of you and give you AMAZING Netflix recommendations!!

I was in town for 2 days and figure i shoot pool. Once I got there, the guy behind the bar was giving another customer sarcasm like he didnt want to be at work. Once it was my turn I asked for a specific drink and he got smart with me too and made me what he wanted and not what I asked for. He made me a whiskey sour but it tasted like he made me a whiskey with water. for my first time there bartender was trash but the pool tables are great.

Worse old fashioned I’ve ever had. Their drinks are mediocre or bad in general. I’ve been here several times and the drinks are still bad. Worse than a dive bar.

Playing pool is ok here, but order simple drinks. I won’t return as there’s better places and drinks elsewhere.

I love pool and darts but they don’t like Ozzy Osborne
