Located at Lake and Hennepin in Calhoun Square, the Independent is one of Uptown’s most fun, most tasty and most trendy hot spots. The Independent is locally owned and run to provide clean, friendly service at a fair price in a fun, casual, urban environment. It is a great place to get together for happy hour, leisurely dine on fresh tasty creations, and mingle into the night. A unique meeting room is available for business, social or family gatherings. The fun and comfortable warmth comes naturally at the Independent.

The Independent serves an eclectic made-from-scratch menu of homemade American bistro fare accented with European and Asian influences. Menus change each season and they choose fresh, locally produced ingredients whenever possible. Their chefs whip up special appetizers, entrees, soups and desserts every day. They offer several vegetarian items and much of their menu can be prepared vegan. So for cool ambiance, fabulous food, chilling cocktails, great service, and lots of fun, the Independent is the place.
