Absolutely absurd experience at Indian Queen. The bartender asked for IDs — no issue there — but refused to accept my husband’s valid, non-expired vertical ID. He then proceeded to ask if we had another form and luckily we did. My husband had recently gone to the DMV and received a new ID because his picture was outdated. The bartender refused the official paper copy from the DMV showing his updated horizontal ID because it “wasn’t printed in color.” Seriously?
My husband said okay and stepped away from the bar to stand near the lounge area. The girls continued to order, but even then we were ignored for several minutes before the bartender finally said, “I’ll be right with y’all,” only to come back later and STILL refuse to serve any of us. We all had showed forms of ID clearly showing we are 26 and 27, and he wouldn’t serve us unless my husband left the building entirely.
As locals, we try to support Augusta businesses, but this was ridiculous. The bartender was rude, dismissive, and completely unreasonable. We have all been bartenders at some point in our life and I understand there are rules in place for a reason, but this was so unnecessary.

I typically love coming here and supporting local. I’m from Augusta (for context we are 27) and this is always my go to spot when friends visit but tonight we came and our friend had a vertical ID (not expired) but also ordered a new ID recently and had a paper ID as well. They would not accept that either. So he stepped back to let the girls order but the bartender still wouldn’t serve us. Our friend was ok without a beverage while we had one, but we weren’t able to get one so a waste of time and a loss of business. Loss loss unfortunately

If you're looking for great location to hang out with friends and grab drink, check out Indian Queen. They have a great bar menu but of course you always ask the bartenders for recommend or to make your drink of choice - this generally what we do. There is a plethora of seating - indoor/outdoor and upstairs area. Definitely a spot I would recommend checking out if you are in the local area.

Great atmosphere with the best cocktails in Augusta. The bartenders are the best

This bar is legendary, we had a great time this past weekend at our wedding party. Had the absolute pleasure of being served by bartender Jackson. This guy was a total professional and made amazing cocktails. My wife doesn’t drink and he was so patient with her order and made her a delicious mocktail. We had the best time and we’ll be back here for sure. Thanks Indian Queen and thank you Jackson. 💯🔥

I came here to read Lord of the Rings... Probably one of the best spots in Augusta to grab a pint and read. Very few places like it!

Wow. Walked in, very unique and feels very cozy. Wood lodge vibes, feels like just outside could’ve been a ski resort.
That being said, we would’ve came in months ago if not for the name. Not sure where the Indian Queen is, but didn’t see her during our time inside.. we think you can do better.
We brainstormed names that would do a better job representing this bar: The Native,, Rustic Lodge, The Cabin, Cedar and Spirits, Silver Fox. You get it, pretty much any other name. Great drinks. We will recommend and come back even if the name stays. Cheers.

Ben was great and spent some time chatting with us and made us feel welcome. Although the jazz was out of place.
If you like kind of a dive bar meets speakeasy theme with amazing cocktails go here hands down my favorite place to drink in Augusta. Note there's no food servedthere's no food

We were looking for a pre dinner drink. We were very impressed with the atmosphere. It is so quaint. The bartender Sawyer was wonderful. Highly recommend!

The drink I had was great. However, $47 for 1 cocktail and 1 michelob ultra was not great.

Excellent spot for craft drinks. These bartenders are talented and they make a seriously good drink. Ben's attention to detail is unprecedented in the CSRA! A must try if you APPRECIATE a good sip!!
