Independent Bar St.Petersburg in Saint Petersburg

Had some great beers. It’s a shame they’re closing soon.

I was drawn by the musicians I know Mark and James. Sandy I had not seen. So I corralled a few friends who need to hear this and sallied forth. Musically, I knew what to expect. What blew me away was the beer quality and variety. Westmalle on draft, no less. It’s a perfect match.

Average place in a cool spot. Usually has a food truck outside on the weekends.

Great beer selection and cool jazz on a Sunday afternoon.

Adam was a great guy. Beer was great. Everything was great. I will be definitely be back.

Consistently unique and delicious assortment of craft brews, wines and seltzer/ ciders plus an incredible can/ bottle selection of the same. Sun afternoon jazz and weekend entertainment. Ill be back many times!!!

Delicious ale imports and from around USA. Chill atmosphere and vibe here. Came around midnight and was pretty empty but the vibe and music were on point. Will definitely be back to try the munchies!

Enjoyed James Suggs and friends performing jazz classics.

Great spot to have a beer in great outdoor space with plenty of people watching. Good location, good beer selection, nice staff.

Great place to hang out and relax with a glass of wine. If you are lucky the chihuahua will be there! Highly recommended.

The crew behind this amazing craft beer bar has been at it since before the boom, and they know their stuff. Besides a full range of craft beers on tap, the Indie has what a lot of these places dont - an expertly curated wine list. Wine drinkers will definitely find something to love while their friends are going on about sours, porters and hazy IPAs. They usually have killer local music on weekend nights, as well.

Its my favorite bar!!!! I will be there until the day it closes. My BFF and I are regulars and they always take good care of us. IT IS MY JAM!!!!!!!!

Jazz Sundays are my new favorite thing! Great staff and Beer! ❤🎷🍺

Awesome service and great selection of Craft Beer.

Great spot with an extensive beer selection. Ive been here a few times now and every time was nice and chill. Staff are all friendly. Even the customers are nice and chill. Music is good. Live music on some nights. Very laid back atmosphere.Seating inside and out. One of the bars I dont mind coming to when asked to come out for the afternoon or night.

Huge selection of beers 🍻 staff is friendly and acknowledge, they know what theyre doing. I like the outdoors seating 👌

We love Independent. Its in that perfect spot when you think youre down too far but youre not and the beer selection is awesome... the place is dark, cool vibe, nice people. We always try to hit it up when were going from one end Central to the other.

Ive only tried one or two beers from here, but I enjoyed them thoroughly! The staff is very friendly, the outdoor seating makes for great "people watching" right near the central roundabout. Sometimes they will have music acts, which add so much to the experience. Independent keeps it simple, and thats a good thing.

Beer? Wine? A good time? The independents got it! Start studded draft list, beautifully curated wine selection and a knowledgeable and welcoming staff

After a rousing round of shuffleboard we ventured into the night in search of sustenance. Along the way we did our best to recruit others to join in on our debauchery. In all 5 of us arrived and while the Sunday night crowd on November 10, 2019 had thinned out, we made the most of it. I began indulging in IPA and requesting Digable Planets from the DJ as he made the night even more memorable. Occasionally, my friend would ask a woman to dance and proceed to pick her up like a rag doll while their boyfriends watched in amusement. It was a great night and eventually led to me getting a prescription of sildenafil. Maybe it was the IPA. 😋

The Indy is a just a top notch joint and St. Pete’s original craft/euro beer bar. Live jazz in Sundays just makes it that much better.

Definitely the best neighborhood pub! Sunday jazz is a staple! Love it!! Great staff, friendly atmosphere! Can’t not be smiling when you are there! Love love love!!!

Cool little craft beer bar in downtown St. Pete. The vibe was great with a bunch of great beer on tap. The bartender fellow was very attentive and conversational.

The staff was very nice the place was clean. Also seem to be dog friendly, with both outside and inside seating. They had the large doors open so the front haft of the place was letting in a lot of fresh air and it was beautiful. They have wine if your not into beer.

We stopped in here on a Tuesday night. The atmosphere was pretty chill. They have some outdoor seating so bring the dog. They have a nice tap list featuring some harder to find German beers. The staff was friendly and helpful. They don’t do food during the week but you are welcome to bring food from any of the nearby restaurants. They even helped us out with some plates and napkins. We enjoyed this place a lot.

Cool bar with a great wine list as well as terrific beers. In a couple of weeks they will have a food truck outside permanently on site. Looking forward to it.

Nice selection of independent beers from around the region, country, and world. Sleek, modern design with clear lines. Feels fresh, clean, and young and is clearly not your pops dive. Good music and nice bartenders make this an enjoyable stop.

Good selection of hard to find brews from all over. A little pricey but you pay for scarcity. Dog friendly. Nice staff

If you want a beer don’t come here. Waiting for 20 min for a beer. If it wasn’t for jazz I’d never be back. A line out the door, one bartender cleaning wine glasses, and instead of drinking 3 or 4 beers I stood in line for most of the jazz performance waiting for 2 beers. A losing proposition for the owner.

Great selection of beer and wine; super nice and knowledgeable bartenders; fantastic local music. Take my money, please!

Great bar! They had a really talented live singer and they had kombucha! Their craft beer selection was great too, but I no longer drink, so I was glad they had another option.

Full range craft beer tap house with street-side indoor outdoor seating. Knowledgable servers. Open late for a night cap after visiting local breweries.

Loved it! What a great little venue! They have a delicious hard seltzer and an amazing selection of cragt beer and cider . Prices were reasonable. The music was PHENOMENAL! Thank you Lounge Cat!

Regulars (every week!at the Tampa location and get great personal service. We come to St Pete once a month and decided to try this location.....stood at the (not so busybar over 10 minutes as the two dudes (bearded redhead and dark completedtalked to and waited on everyone who came up. Finally, I asked the lady bar back for some drinks and she attemptgo help us. If this had been our 1st experience with The Independent; it would have been OUR LAST! We will stick with the Tampa location, and every other brewery in St.. Pete and skip St. Pete Independent.👎🏼

I am so glad the Independent isback! This place is an original in the craft brew movement and St. Petersburg. Dont skip a visit if you come to The Burg. The brew selection wont disappoint.

My favorite bar in the universe! Always a cool selection of beers, wines, and on special occasions , really great food! It kind of feels like family in there also!

Fast friendly service, this place is a local institution. Not just a wide draft selection, also an excellent draft selection. Come here for a friendly, local vibe thats embracing and respectful. And lookout for great life music.

I always struggle to find a decent german beer and they had a delightful variety. Arrived just before closing and service was very kind and considerate. Very happy to habe found this place.

Great service, friendly staff. Todays visit was for the vegan chicken pop-up, but I would definitely go here again. Lots of choices for adult beverages. Dog friendly too!

This place is great this time of year. Awesome to enjoy an ice cold brew and sit outside in this weather. Staff was friendly, attentive, and quick to help us.

Love the decor. Great place to come and people watch or catch up with a friend. Perfect location. Parking is good. You can usually find a spot somewhere around the area.

Great place to hang with friends. Excellent beers, atmosphere, and a decent wine selection. Also have pop-up record DJs and bites. Dan is the Man behind the bar ❤

Great location, nice "indoor/outdoor" seating when the garage doors are open. Excellent craft beer selection. Good service.

Solid offering of high quality beers, served properly. Also offering wines with the same care and attention. No food, but addictive peanut butter filled pretzel nuggets are on hand if you ask. Bringing your own food is welcome, making this a compelling location to dine and imbibe with your own curated experience. Service staff is very casual, very friendly, well informed on what they are pouring and always professional. Only change Id appreciate is the music could be a bit more consistent...it meanders a bit loudly between soothing, classic rock and heavy metal, which is at times a bit distracting to me, but maybe not others. Wouldnt let it stop me from enjoying the over all high quality experience and good vibes here.

Excellent selection of brews with great service to compliment! Cheers to a new, great craft beer bar in St Pete.

Intimate. Screen free. Very knowledgeable staff. Beer, cider, & wine only. Great music. Romantic night setting. Lovely date spot and/or friendship meet-up spot to have great conversation with over awesome drink selections.

Classic! The best of both traditional world beer styles & american craft beer trends. Outstanding wines, and a friendly & professional staff.

So glad theres an Independent Bar in St. Pete again!Theres really no comparison in the beer selection. Especially locally-brewed drafts. And its great to be able to tap (no pun intendedinto the staffs knowledge... theyre happy to guide your taste buds through their vast offerings. Seriously, most of my beer education came from The Independent. :)

So stoked to see this bar back in St. Pete! A great local hangout with the best beers on tap for anyones taste. +1 for bartenders that know how to serve beers in the correct glassware!

For a true beer lover, they have a great selection of craft beers, both imported and domestic. Love the new location. Proper glassware and a very knowledgable staff, and great location. Worth the visit.
