"Like a lot of other beer gardens in the city, Independence Beer Garden is covered in greenery and has rows of long tables made to support multiple large containers of beer. Unlike most other beer gardens, this one has legitimately good food, and serves lunch and dinner with things like burgers and tacos every day during the summer. Independence also hosts competitive lawn game leagues, in case your casual beach version of corn hole doesn’t satisfy your urge to be overly competitive about everything." - candis mclean, alison kessler
