Julie Mesenburg and Gabriel Zeller created Indie to unite their mutual affection for independent music with their passion for great food and craft cocktails. Indie is a lively and casual dining experience in the heart of Cleveland’s East 4th neighborhood of shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues. The walls are a gallery of over 230 posters from concerts Gabe and Julie collected over the past two decades. Indie offers an eclectic southern-inspired menu by Executive Chef Mark Sanford that is complemented by array of music-themed cocktails. Grunge Brunch is the place to be on Saturday afternoons, while Sunday brunch themes will range from 90s hip hop to classic rock. The posters, music, and creative menus make Indie a go-to destination for locals and visitors alike.

    Our servers were good. However, the food was horrible. My wife got the restaurant week menu with the entree being mussels and fries. They smelled rancid and tasted about the same. I got the fried walleye. When I asked about it the server told me it was a great portion massive full fillet. It came out and looked to be about he size of a bluegill and tasted bland. The fries were cold as was the biscuit that came with it.

    We had a lovely time at Indie, the decor is so much fun to peruse. The food was a french creole mix- divine. The ambiance is neat some of the seating overlooks a window above East 4th, great for people watching.

    Had a reservation weeks in advance. When we arrived we were placed in the rear of the restaurant next to the band. We ordered an appetizer and a drink. The entire time the manager was moving tables and chairs all around us. We certainly did not feel welcome. Manager never came over to apologize or any comment. We were invisible.

    The service here was less than ideal - our food took quite awhile and the servers seemed flustered. When the food got to our table it was great! Everyone enjoyed their meal. The manager made up for the service issues, which is why I’m leaving the five stars! We will be back for hopefully a better service experience and the same great food and drinks!

    The food was ok. I had the nashville sandwich and I was expecting a spicy sandwich. I asked the sever and she apologized to me for not explaining that to me prior to ordering. She offered to take it back and get me something else but I was already half done and the chicken was done nicely but I was lacking chicken on my sandwich. Pricey for such a small sandwich. I had the dumpling soup that was pretty good. Overall I was very excited to try this place and I guess my expectations were too high.

    Great food and service. Went for Sunday brunch, sat at the bar. Not crowded and food and Bloody Mary was excellent. I had the chicken and waffles half which was plenty for me. My other half had the Breakfast Mac n cheese with bacon. It was too rich for me but he loved it

    Indie- E 4th St.Responded on November 27, 2022Hello Mike R I do apologize for your experience here at Indie Music Bar. This is not how service should be here. We always strive to make sure each guest is taken care of. With that being said, we had some shortages in the kitchen that night and everything got backed up. I would like to take this opportunity and invite you and a guest back to dine, on us! Again, I do apologize for your experience and hope you dine with us soon. Just ask for Katie or Mark.

    Everything was outstanding! From the host to the server! The food was incredible. The Cleveland chicken with the “cluck it” sauce was fantastic. The service and drinks were on point! I will be back for sure. Oh they also have live bands there every Friday and Saturday. It is a great addition to East 4th!

    Tried this place as a pre-show dinner before a concert at Rocket Mortgage. The service was friendly and on point. The food was tasty. I had the chicken sandwich, which was very large. Chicken was well fried and juicy. We also had the pretzel and mac and cheese. Both were also enjoyed. Would recommend
