Lil Indies is truly a hidden gem in the Mills area. It has a dive bar feel with great drinks and excellent DJs. The bartenders seem knowledgeable about the drinks and are super helpful when you are trying to make a choice. The music is typically great and I like that it isn't so rowdy that you can't carry a conversation with your party. I look forward to future visits to this cool little establishment.

Looking for a dive bar feel with upscale cocktails from a mixologist? Look nextdoor to Will's Pub and try Lil Indies. The decor has old school feel to it with random art work decorating the walls of the establishment. They even have a corner stage area where they host artist, but just know this is a tiny location with 1 bathroom from what I could see. There is a bit of outdoor seating as well and area for smoking outside as well. They also have a Happy Hour which is 20% off cocktails from 4pm-8pm which is a great time to try it out as they have many cocktail options. Also the bartender was great, very friendly and attentive, with skills at mixing up the cocktails. All in all this is a great little place to check out if you are on Mills.

Excellent vibes and delicious drinks. Usually a DJ. The weekend tiki bar in the back is cute (love all that seating) but the line back there moves a bit slow.

Great vibes in this cocktail lounge, gets busier through out the night. Bathrooms are unisex, little hard to lock but it works. Place is clean. Staff is friendly and helpful when ordering also super quick. Will return.

You can feel extremely comfortable there. They have very interesting & niche guests performing. I like their fresh drinks. Homey and comfortable. They used to be extremely dog friendly, that went away, but appears like it's returning, more open to dogs again. Depends I guess, ask first... I've always had a great experience there. I liked it when they had jazz. I don't go as often now, but very nice people. Fun to bar hop, there's another small bar in the back on an outside patio. It might be open. Walk around the building, there are a few, eclectic. Fun area.

Came to see Nesto's jazz trio. Chill atmosphere and good drinks. My drink had gin black sea salt and basil. It was only nine bucks so reasonably priced. It wasn't too packed which we loved. It's a small spot with friendly staff

Lil Indies is a wonderful little hidden spot for live music and good drinks. I was impressed by the bar staff and the jazz trio when we went. Prices are fair. Was visiting from NC, and I wish we had a location like this! 5 star service.

I found this place by looking up bars in the Mills district. Damn lil indies you did NOT. Disappoint!!! I love how the ambiance reminds me of that 70's show mixed with grandma's house! It has a really nice sound inside- they've got live music. They're in between plantees and will's pub. I absolutely love this vibe; laid back and chill. Now let's talk drinks they've got about 4 drafts and drink options are so funky. They're drinks range from $9-$15 depending on the drink. I ordered the Hey Boo Boo- it's vodka, pomegranate tea, yuzu liquor, cranberry and orange bitters. They batch it at Will's Pub Next door- so it's made daily. It comes in a little honey squeeze bottle- giving me Pooh bear vibes! It has a kick and is a bit sour but it's sweet at the same time! I definitely recommend coming here! 10/10 What a gem of a find!!

This is my comfort bar. I hadn't been back since the pandemic but when I saw DJ BMF was spinning 90's R&B , I did what I had to do. Lil Indies is one of my favorite spots in Orlando. It's hipster without being pretentious , divey while still making some of the best cocktails in the city. If you want to be cool, this is where you go.
