Tucked in the heart of downtown Batesville, Indiana, you'll stumble upon Lil’ Charlie’s Restaurant & Brewery, your go-to spot for mouthwatering dishes, a treasure trove of local and national craft brews, and irresistible specialty drinks. Owner Kip Miller founded Lil' Charlie's in June of 1999 with the idea of welcoming families and friends in for a delicious meal, great service, genuine hospitality and a comfortable environment.  Starting as a small, 86 seat restaurant, Lil' Charlie's has grown into a 210 seat restaurant with a one of a kind brewery added in 2009 and a newly expanded outdoor seating area in 2013.  Celebrating our 26th anniversary in 2025, we are excited to be the very first Brewery/Restaurant in downtown Batesville, Indiana.
