True, this bar is frequently out of stock of many of their menu items, and true there are not descriptions about every single beer on the menu (if that were to happen the menu would be 20 pages long!), but there is a great description of all the draft beers. The bartenders, for the most part, are the most friendly in downtown, and are the most knowledgeable about beer, for sure. I'm not sure why the last person to leave a comment made mention of the homosexuals that go to the Independent, but I am guessing they are just a hateful person. The crowd is as diverse as they come at this bar, young/old, black/white, gay or straight. Overpriced? Sure, somethings are. Packed on weekends, I suggest going on tuesday or a wednesday, good crowd plus you can sit down. Overall, great place that all should visit if in downtown St Pete!
Pros: ambience, service, variety
Cons: price, menus, parking
