Join us Sunday, September 6 at 6:30 PM for our Sunday Live Music Series featuring Sam Williams!

Known for his work with Down By Law and Black Valley Moon, Sam brings a set of all-instrumental guitar tunes that blend surf, spy-fi, lounge, and spaghetti Western influences. His originals and reimagined classics create a cinematic soundscape that’s as smooth as it is dynamic.

Music starts at 6:30 PM. Come early, grab a pint, and enjoy a night of instrumental storytelling in the Biergarten!

It’s Schnitzel Night!

Tonight we’re serving our chicken schnitzel with a traditional Jäger Sauce (a/k/a Hunter Sauce)! This rich mushroom sauce brings deep, savory flavor with layers of earthy mushrooms and a silky texture that pairs perfectly with the crisp, golden schnitzel. It’s hearty, comforting, and exactly what you want on your plate!

Come enjoy Jägerschnitzel from 5 to 10 PM, or until we sell out!

Yesterday was a blast! Thank you to everyone who came out to experience our take on traditional Kölsch service!

In addition to enjoying plenty of world-class Gaffel Kölsch, a few lucky guests went home with some pretty great prizes, including all-you-can-drink Kölsch, a 5L keg, a six-pack of bottles, and even a full Kölsch wheel with glasses to bring the experience home.

Several of you asked if we’ll be doing this again, and we’re happy to say… hell yeah.

We had way too much fun with this one. Stay tuned for the next Kölsch service at Indie!

Let’s Do Lunch!

The Indie Grilled Cheese is far from basic! Ours brings together cider-poached pears, creamy sliced Gouda, a little honey, and fresh herbs, layered on Marble Rye. We then press it until it turns perfectly crisp and golden. The best part of your grilled cheese experience is always that initial cheese pull, and this one delivers every time!

Come join us for lunch, grab one to go, or order pickup or delivery direct at IndieTPA.com!
