Story & Photography Provided
After nearly a decade of opening restaurants as an extension of their brewing company, Nathan and Leah Huelsebusch, owners of Taxman Brewing Company, are pleased to open their latest restaurant venture, Pizza & Libations (P&L). This new dining concept is located at 75 North Baldwin Street in Bargersville, near Taxman Brewing Company, and will add modern Italian fare to the
southside dining scene.
The family-friendly restaurant will feature Neapolitan-style pizzas, authentic, handmade pasta, seasonal salads, fresh-baked breads, house-made gelato, and delectable libations including craft cocktails, globally sourced wines and local craft beer.
The spacious building includes indoor seating for more than 200 guests, a full-service bar, and large-scale art installations from local and European artists. The expansive outdoor patio features a linear fireplace, shade trees and seating for 72 guests.
The food and beverage offerings will change seasonally, combining classic Italian techniques and recipes with locally sourced ingredients.
Our passion for travel and cultural cuisine has definitely been a driving force in all of our ventures, and creating a new restaurant with a Mediterranean focus is very exciting, says COO Leah Huelsebusch. With every new restaurant, it is important to us to develop concepts that focus on farm-to-table food. Italian food relies heavily on sourcing high-quality ingredients, so its a great opportunity for us to showcase the local produce, dairy and locally milled grain.
The building that is home to Pizza & Libations was purchased in November of 2021, and a complete, transformative remodel began in January of 2022.
Bringing new life and redevelopment to the rapidly growing Town of Bargersville is something we strongly value, says CEO Nathan Huelsebusch. The Bargersville community has supported Taxman for more than eight years, and we are excited to invest in the continued growth and development of old-town Bargersville. We hope that P&L will be a celebrated addition to the neighborhood and that our investment in Bargersville will encourage continued revitalization of the area, with more local businesses opening downtown.

Taxman Brewing Company is the culmination of a passion for beer, food, travel and friendship, alongside a desire to be actively involved in the local community. In 2014, Nathan and Leah Huelsebusch left their corporate jobs to embark on a journey to share their love for Belgian-style beers and sustainable food with others. Taxmans success has grown tremendously – they now distribute their beer throughout Indiana and have expanded into three farm-to-table gastropubs, with additional locations on the horizon.
