Don't let the prices fool you. You get a lot more alcohol in these beers (up to 15% sometimes) and a lot more of it for the price. The bartenders here are friendly and knowledgeable. Ask them!
Every beer here is imported. It's a little on the pricey side if you just want to get drunk, but for those wanting to try some really good brews, definitely give it a try. I suggest the Hobgoblin :)
Tiffany CartierMarch 22, 2012Paterlieven is so tasty! Even comes in the big bottles. Neal is the real deal. Love this place on a mellow week night.
Kimba P.August 28, 2010Bet your friends they can't identify the flag (the middle of three) on the wall left of the door. A yellow circle with black above and red below. It's the flag of aboriginal Australia.

Rhonada HoeppnerMarch 2, 2013Friday Night Lights......the old Independent......downtown St. Petersburg..........Beware of the ides of March
If you're new to the fancy beer scene just ask the bartenders, they all are amazingly knowledgeable and friendly.
Always take your beer with you to the bathroom on Friday and Saturday.
The bathrooms are unisex. Don't even think of cutting the line.
Candace SimsSeptember 2, 2012As long as your gay your ok. Being rude to straight customers does not make you better!
