I had a great time, but what really made the experience stand out was our waitress, Genna. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place itself was fun, lively and great food but Genna genuinely elevated the whole vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She was warm, attentive, and had that rare balance of being friendly without feeling forced. A great smile, easy conversation, and solid service go a long way... and she nailed all of it. I'm a big believer that the people make the place, and she absolutely did. Genuine experiences like that are what make you want to come back. read more

Absolutely delicious food, amazing beers and the best service ever in the desert. I was there for my bday wk and discovered them 10 days ago, sadly at the end of our trip but we loved it so much and had so much fun we went back 2 nights in a row! I highly recommend Ruben, John and Nate, best beertenders ever, so fun patient and educational! Cannot wait to go back!! Only bad thing is you cannot buy the tshirts that the staff are wearing sadly, so fun!!! Hint hint management Also, Amanda at the Speakeasy was ao kind and educated us as well! Cant wait to go back there too!! We wish we lived closer read more

Well we just wrote a really nice review about Ande, because she was amazing, but the owner is a total jerk. He just yelled at me and my service dog for laying behind me and made us leave. So, don't come here if he's in a "mood" because he will yell at you in front of the entire restaurant. [[HIGHLIGHT]]So embarrassing multiple customers were uncomfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Came to Indio Taphouse for the Mexico World Cup Game against England. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was so warm and friendly![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The customer service was absolutely top notch. Amanda was helping us when we arrived and she was super attentive and sweet. The food, I had heard was a little pricey, but every bite was worth what we paid for & more. I'm sad I didn't take a picture of their regular nachos, but they were gone pretty quickly!! So yummy!! Their drinks were delicious and they kept them coming! Will visit again for sure. Thank you for the vibes!! :) read more

Sat at the bar at Indio Taproom and had a solid overall experience. The food was decent, about what you would expect from a bar, and the bar selection was good, though I am more of a wine person. One unusual aspect was the communal all gender bathroom. I did not mind it, but I heard a couple walking out complaining about it, so it may not be for everyone. The food took too long to come out, and forty dollars felt steep for a sampler. On the bright side, it was a much more enjoyable experience than watching the Bears try to keep up with the 49ers. (Lots of 49er fans in the desert, I guess!) Still a decent spot to grab a drink and a bite. read more

Stop having my reviews removed. I'm giving an honest assessment of your establishment when I ate there and you keep having them removed. The service is terrible, no greeting from the bartender or even an acknowledgment while I stand and wait to order a drink. As I said before the appetizer (with shrimp) made me sick. The health department found that your shrimp was not being refrigerated properly! Hopefully you take this and evaluate your situation to find a solution rather than attacking customers. read more

Great service, even better food. What a great find the Indio Taphouse was. Our server, Jenna, was on it and didn't miss a beat. She excelled in her position as a server-TOP NOTCH! We ordered the nachos, Kobe sliders, and a kid's burger meal. Everything was exceptional! The lavender lemonade was delicious too. I cannot wait to go back on our next visit to Indio! read more

Good spot for a quick bite and a beer. Two of us needed a quick nighttime stop during the week and this place was it. Open & spacious, good on a warm evening. Lots of TVs going with all the sports.

My husband and I were searching for a good date night spot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We landed on Indio Taphouse, mainly because the outdoor patio looked nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]When we walked in around 5pm the inside (which is pretty open to the outside) was so lively we decided to stay at the bar![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had some really good beer and shared some delicious carne asada fries. Our bartender was super nice and took us on a little tour through the bathroom to the other side, which is a speakeasy! We will definitely be back and maybe play some outdoor games next time. Can't wait to try more of their menu. read more

Amazing food and service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Came here with a party of 14, sat outside in front of the beautiful mural.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was a bachelorette dinner and they took care of us. Gave around lots of drinks on the house; Jell-O shots and matcha was very good and strong. I tried their meatballs and they were delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Had heaters outside and lots of space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bathroom is for both genders but we're closed for a bit due to flooding when we went the first time. They opened back up shortly after.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Very overcrowded inside with hardly any room to walk. We ordered our drinks and headed outside where it was a lot more enjoyable and less crowded. Plenty of seating out doors. The service was awesome we got complimentary Jell-O shots. Had a great night while also playing cornhole. read more

Super cute spot in downtown Indio. Plenty of drink options, and relatively good space inside. The food was pretty good, nothing to write home about, but still a satisfying meal. The house chips are a must try. Just a warning, some of the portions are a bit small, so definitely not to share. Overall a good experience! read more

Indio Taphouse - the best bathroom art ever! - Beer Bar Near Me - Indio, California

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Appeared to be a happening place-huge bar with outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We sat down, reviewed the short list of beer on tap and asked the server if they had any West Coast IPA's. She reviewed the list that we already saw and told us she would ask. She asked another server, who said she didn't think so, and then said she would ask the bartenders if they had any in bottles or cans. We waited and waited longer without an answer. Neither of the servers knew what a West Coast IPA was. If you call yourself a "tap house", you should know beer-bottom line. We walked out after waiting an unacceptable amount of time. read more

We were here late afternoon on a Saturday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bar was packed, but had a fun vibe and everyone seemed happy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My husband liked his IPA's, the food was good, and our server Jenna was friendly and attentive. We'll definitely come here again. read more

We popped in for a quick bite before a concert and what a nice surprise. The service was prompt and fun. The food was delicious. But mostly we enjoyed hanging out a local bar where the other guests didn't treat us tourists. No side eye glances, no rude comments. Just genuinely nice conversations with people from Indio, Palm Springs, and even Los Angeles. read more

Let's be very clear--your response to our review is not only inaccurate, it's completely misleading. You claimed our dog showed aggressive behavior and that there were complaints. That did not happen. Not a single guest with children complained about our dog. The only issue came from your own employee. What's worse is your complete failure to manage the situation. An off-duty employee took it upon themselves to harass us, and not one person currently working--no manager, no staff member, not even your security--stepped in to address it. Instead, your chef chose to involve himself and continued the harassment, which is both unprofessional and unacceptable. At this point, it's obvious your establishment has an issue with dogs and, more importantly, a lack of accountability when your staff behaves inappropriately. You chose to deflect and misrepresent what happened rather than take responsibility. As we were leaving, multiple parents commented on how poorly this was handled and how inappropriate your chef's behavior was. And just to address your claim one more time--our so-called "aggressive" dog calmly interacted with others, even licking our waitress and your security guard on the way out. If this is how you handle customer concerns--by distorting facts and ignoring staff misconduct--people should know exactly what kind of experience to expect. read more

Cool spot in the downtown Indio area that they are rehabing. Like a 50s counter diner type place, with an edgy vibe. Good for sports watching with lots of TV's. Tons of beer selection both tap and cans. Decent bar food. Make sure you check out the bathrooms. There's also an Italian speakeasy that I'm anxious to try. read more

YELP SHORT ANSWER: Yes in a fresh location, well worth a visit. LOCATION: Excellent, small town diner vibe... FACILITY: From the moment you walk or roll in, this place is about fun. Maybe a little on the grunge side but clean. We did run into a couple for obnoxious drunk guests, but it is Indio. Limited outside on-street seating. MENU: Fantastic choices, very casual Cali options. FOOD PREP: Way way better than expected, even from what we saw, professional level. FOOD QUALITY: Excellent for everything we've ordered. LIBATIONS: Wow impressive and intentional presentation with each delivery. No fast bar drinks even for the simplest of drinks done with style. You just don't find this too often in drinks under $20. WAITSTAFF: Super nice and fun and can deal with drunks in a nice way. OVERALL VALUE: Yea, for sure a value for a great dining experience. TIP: A little hard to find but parking can be a mess, visit off peak times and you will have no problems. read more

So basically I had arrived to the bar with two other friends. Upon arriving our bartender that was attending to us was very dismissive towards one of our guy friends. We had come on Wednesday and I had ordered the soup of the day and not a drink as I was driving; the soup of the day was unfortunately very salty. I'm not sure if the soup was supposed to be an imitation of chili but as I said it was watery and incredibly salty. When it was my friends turn to order, one had called for a Candy Apple Martini (absolutely delicious). As for my other friend, he had originally found this popular location for social media. He's a bit of a beer fanatic and was excited to try out this brewery location. Which was why the dismissive behavior of our bartender was incredibly disappointing and a big let down. Our bartender was a pretty buff guy and was wearing headwear that day. My friend had initially asked as to what was recommended for beers only for his question to be ignored and tossed the menu. Our bartender couldn't care for the tourists (aka us and most likely others too) and more of his locals. I did my best to be polite and gestured and gently called him over a few times for the bill, until after a few times I just had to be firm and call out loudly so that we could just pay and go. SMH. Otherwise aesthetically, the design and decor of the place was very nice. It had a bit of a gothic thriller retro vibe to it which is something that I greatly appreciated as well. read more

The vibe and atmosphere here is awesome don't get me wrong. I would come back but for drinks only. Started off really shaky. I get it's a newer place, but after 3 months it should be pretty together. One of our group of 6, got TWO different glasses that were broken! One water glass and then her margarita came broken also! Eeek! The rest of us ordered drinks, and then the waitress had to come back and tell us there they didn't have three of the drinks we wanted. Why are they on the menu then? It wasn't anything on tap so it's not like they ran out. And it's a Saturday night, they should be fully stocked AND waitress should know what's out. The food was mediocre. I got the Californian no bun 7/10. First came with no side (chips). The chips were half crunchy and half soft. The cheese I had to scrap off, and the. Chicken was extremely thin. Meatball sandwich was 6/10; meatballs were good but bread was not good. Caesar salad 6/10; chicken was lacking flavor. Beet salad was a 7/10; flavor was good but there was only one beet cut into four pieces. Mexican torta was 4/10; wayyy too salty. read more

Place was jumping. Great music, football games going on the tv's and loud entertainment. Great vibe and atmosphere. People seemed to be enjoying the outside. It was chilly, so made it even more lively. Drinks were good. Simple beers and Moscow mules were on the agenda that night. Had the chicken wings. Damn these things were huge. Enjoy the night or day. Great spot. read more

1 Star Absolutely awful service. We came in to support a local spot, but clearly, Indio Taphouse isn't interested in earning repeat business. The bartender couldn't be bothered to engage and quickly passed us off to a server who disappeared after bringing our first beers. My glass sat empty for over 25 minutes with zero follow-up or acknowledgment. It's not like the place was packed--there were maybe 13 customers in the entire bar, and at least four employees working, including someone who looked like the manager just sitting at a table on his laptop joking around with staff. No one seemed remotely interested in doing their jobs. This place has all the staffing and none of the service. It's lazy, unprofessional, and frankly embarrassing. We left feeling ignored and annoyed. If you're thinking about coming here, don't. There are way better places that actually value their customers. read more

Ehh the service was just ok. The bartender didn't really care. The service was ok as they were busy but he just didn't seem to be happy. Idk. Maybe relationship issues. Idk read more

It's so nice that Indio has a solid Taphouse with a great lively younger atmosphere, fun drinks, and tasty food now. Downtown Indio has been hurting for some businesses that will stand the test of time but I'm certain this restaurant and bar is going to make it because the energy is great and they bring a refreshing spirit to this side of town. The mural outside is definitely eye catching and a smart move because I don't know if I would have seen this spot without the mural. It gives an inclusive, welcoming vibe. The restaurant is long with bar stools and an L shaped bar. Thankfully they do have some high tops and booths which is nice if you want a more casual dining experience away from the loudness of the bar patrons. The menu has a variety of appetizers, sandwiches, salads and such. The menu has a better selection of cocktails and beers in my opinion. The prices are definitely reasonable and it's classic bar food with some Mexican and Italian influences from tortas to sausage and peppers. While they aren't a brewery with their own crafted beers they had a good beer selection. However, I'll be coming back for the cocktails. I had the best tamarind margaritas and would highly recommend that or their Paloma. Always it was fun to order some Jell-O shots haha. Made me feel young again. We got a lime shot and an orange shot, classic. Good times to be had here for sure. Cocktails are a 5/5 here. We ordered a couple appetizers and they were good. Some better than others but overall definitely 4/5 stars. The deviled eggs were fabulous. Loved the little chopped pickle/relish and bacon crumbs. We ordered the blistered zucchini not sure what to expect. I'd call them a healthier bar appetizer as it turned out to be grilled/roasted zucchini slices (no matter) with a moderate spicy chili oil on top. While I probably wouldn't order them again (I like my bar food greasy and unhealthy haha) it wasn't a bad bite. Tasted fresh and was unique I'll say that. Service here was 5 stars and really impressive. We came for Memorial Day weekend and they were slammed. We didn't even wander in until 2pm and every table was full expect for the last two seater we could snag. The waitress said they aren't usually that busy but at the same time they are only a few months old and if the bar is already getting that busy then better to get there early on a weekend. Our waitress was April and she was wonderful! Super attentive and sweet throughout our meal. I was impressed that despite how busy they were she gave us top notch service with a smile on her face from start to finish. I'd definitely try to snag a table with April again. From what we could see the other staff seemed friendly and on top of it. Good vibes! Love the small touches to detail too. While the bathroom is communal which can be surprising at first, the stalls are all separate with doors/walls from top to bottom so you can't see under or over. No urinals etc. All separate stalls. The ballroom decor was definitely cool with different celebrities sitting on the toilet (see my picture of Ozzy Osbourne). My friend and I agreed we will definitely be back and this is surely going to be the new IT spot in Indio. read more
