If you like to drink and you like new things, there is no better place than Lil Indies. They care about what they do. Watching my bartender do prep for a liquor was like watching an artisan. Please go here if you care about quality. They are a cut above.

Awesome drinks!While visiting Orlando I looked up best mixologist and found Lil Indies. We went and were not disappointed! The bartender Jennifer was very nice and made our amazing drinks.We went on a Saturday around 5pm so we made Happy Hour. It was not very busy, I like because the bartenders can take their time with making drinks.It was a very cute little place. It is sandwiched in by 2 other bars with the same owner. I really like the vibe it was very different. We liked it so much that after we went to eat we came back the same night.I had the Whiskey Smash which was good and my fiancé had the Waterford 76 which he enjoyed and also had another when we returned. My second time around I had the Happy When it Rains which was rum based and very good.We loved it and will definitely return the next time we go to Orlando.

Very eclectic bar right on Mills. The decor inside is beyond interesting and definitely makes visiting an experience. Haven’t been when they have live music but am definitely interested in coming back to check that out. Bartender was very nice and gave recommendations based on what we liked. Friendly staff. Went on a Saturday for happy hour (daily 4-6pm, 20% off)

Got charged for other people’s drinks and when I told the bartender his mistake. Called me a liar and they kicked me out. Never leave a tab open with these guys

Lil indies was actually an cute interesting spot. The walls are filled with peculiar art, furniture is a mix with vintage and modern. I really liked the feel of it. Also lgbtq+ friendly.

Great little spot next to Wills Pub and The outdoor patio that is Dirty Laundry. Great bartenders at each venue. All within walking distance of Tako Cheena to the South and another Asian eats spot to the North across the street.

Me and my friend were visiting from out of town and we ran across this spot on Google and I’m glad we did! The bartender was amazing. She took her time to explain various cocktails to ensure we got what we wanted. They were delicious. If ever in Orlando again, I will definitely be back.

Been in Orlando for years and always missed this little gem. Good drinks, and a very chill and casual atmosphere. Popular amongst the alt crowd in their 20s/30s. The patio has a lot of seating and plants - great vibes.

Awesome place outside of downtown Orlando connected to Will’s Pub. Came here 4 years ago. After seeing some bands next door, we popped over here and played trivia for a trivia night they were having. We had a great time. Glad we stopped in.

Been here since before and I really enjoyed it. The bar is small and cozy, but with the plexiglass partitions, we couldnt sit at the bar along with the four people already there. The cocktails are creative and tasty.

We were actually on the patio out back,which is called Dirty Laundry, for live music on a Saturday evening. Rob Hughes was the featured artist & he was awesome. Show was free. The owner has recently made some upgrades to this back patio area. Would recommend checking out Dirty Laundry for a nice & relaxed environment to checkout some live music.*Lil Indies is on the front side of building facing Mills Avenue & is also connected to Wills Pub, so essentially there is 3 bars @ 1 location, each with their own name

I always love the live music on Wednesday nights. Ten Pints of Truth plays every other Wednesday, so if you like live blues music, you should be here on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month.

An astonishingly wide selection of fine (and top shelfliquors, unrivaled in this part of town, and for a fraction of the price youd pay on Park Ave or at the GrandBo. The staff have been great, service was quick, prices were very fair every time Ive visited.

They continue to make amazing bottled cocktails even though they cant be open as a bar during quarantine. Army & Navy, Old Fashioned, and Mint Condition are all excellent end-of-day choices for Zoom happy hour and they have normal liquor and beer for sale as well.

Ever changing creative cocktail menu. It can be a little bit of a wait to get a drink due to complexity of the recipes and the crowd but worth the wait. Knowledge bartenders always willing to share recommendations and brainstorm something different youll enjoy.

Pretty cool rock-n-roll vibe draws an eclectic crowd of millennials. Plenty of seating outside an indoors. I went here specifically because it was hailed as having some of the best craft cocktails around. Thats where it fell short for me. Having had the intricately arranged drinks at places like Bauhaus, The Courtesy, Mathers and Robinson, I was less than impressed by the selection at Lil Indies. They werent bad, just not on par with what Im used to. Still, they were reasonably priced, the music was great and the ambiance at least worth a visit.

Cocktail ideas are fun. Execution could improve, but still delicious. Vibe is always good. They have live music at times, and trivia night is fun. Great spot for locals and tourists alike

Interesting cocktails (~$10), plenty of couches and cozy seats inside, outdoor seating along Mills and also out back. Live music/DJ in one part, loud there and quieter in another part of the room around the corner. Low lighting, chill vibe, no smoke smell inside.

I had a phenomenal time! I attended the Prince Birthday Party and it was a blast! Dynamic DJ. He kept the music coming. Knew when and what songs to play to keep the dance floor packed. 😊 Bartenders are friendly and expeditiously moved the crowd.

Do you want an expertly made cocktail from a menu thats been thoughtfully constructed, with amazing ingredients? Then this is the spot. I go to lil Indies when I want to sip some great cocktails, enjoying the taste, and hang out with some great bartenders. The venue is cozy, and can also be a refuge from the fantastically frantic shows next door at Wills Pub.

The drinks are pricey yet decent. Not great, but ok. Taste ok but not worth $14. The old run down couches are cute. The front room area is nice. The crowd is cool. The music was decent. The bathroom situation is crazy. Overall, its not a bad place, .just doesnt stand out as Awesome.

Not great. Walked in and up to the bar, two of 8 seats were available and the tables were empty. There were two bartenders who were way too involved in talking about last night instead of asking if Id like anything. I gave it about 5 minutes before walking out. Maybe it was my dress attire, I just got off work and was dressed business. Emo and Indie dress attire only? Maybe. But this place does not deserve any decent reviews for the general public.

Nice little hang out spot with live music. Indoor and Outdoor seating plus a lounge area with some interesting paintings. There was an amazing selection of craft drinks averaging between $10-$13. The staff was super friendly and it made the evening extremely fun. I would definitely go back.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Fantastic and delicious craft cocktails and a decent craft beer selection. They have art showings from local artists, pop-up craft markets, and a wide range of musical acts on a weekly basis. Low lighting and antique decor makes this quaint bar a great place to be social. Outside seating and food trucks as well.

Amazing drinks, super friendly bartenders, and a cozy atmosphere. I am rating 4 stars though, because if they keep putting on dance nights, there needs to be more air circulation/ventilation... the body heat in there gets super intense if you’ve got more than 20 people dancing. I love this bar otherwise!

I love this place! They are very affordable if you are in a low budget, and if you are not, they still have a great selection of crafty cocktails. They have 3 areas, 2 inside with chairs where you can sit with your friends and another with a dance floor, where they either bring a DJ or a live band and people normally dance. There is another area outside ( in the backwhere they have traditional bar drinks, but there people can smoke or be in the outside... The environment is chill, hipsterish, and very nice and welcoming. (I have visited 2 times and so far 5 stars)

Love this bar! Creative cocktails, amazing live music. Adorable decor, quirky too. And some of their cocktails donate proceeds to a pitbull rescue operation. There is also local artists on the walls for purchase.

It breaks my heart to give this place a 4 out of 5 but it just didnt live up to the hype. I dig the grunge environment and the laidback feel But I tasted 4 different cocktails and was not blown away by any of them. The ingredients list was so unique and being able to incorporate some far out elements into cocktails is impressive. However, the overall taste of the cocktails were more interesting than delicious. Thats just my opinion. Prices were reasonable though mostly 10 or 11 dollars.

One of the best places in town for exploring the craft cocktail scene. They rotate their custom drink menu every month, which I always look forward to. The atmosphere here is great too. I enjoy the entertainment they usually have as well.It can get a bit loud inside, but going outside to sit is always an option and I usually do. It can get a bit crowded as its a small location, but if you can get here early enough or on a slow day, you are sure to have a great time.

An eclectic place with excellent bartenders who know how to make a drink. The atmosphere is casual but you never know what the atmosphere will be. Sometimes its cool jazz an other times its dead. However, the cocktails are always awesome.
