Holly P
3 years agoNice location, quick service, rotating selection, good seating to have a drink with friends.
Siren Hand
3 years agoAwesome place to meet up with friends, have a reasonably priced & carefully-crafted drink, or see a show. Seasonal drinks and rotating specialty cocktails are a must here. If you’re a performer, the stage is raised, a great size for audience engagement— and the sound crew has your back. It was awesome to feature here for Bloomington Poetry Slam/ National Poetry Month. Thanks for being such an awesome venue.

Mariella Arredondo
year agoFun place to grab a drink, gather with friends, catch a performance, or just hang by oneself at the bar. Many beers on tap. Now wine, too, best lemonades ;)

Joel Grant
3 weeks agoAuthentic, non-pretentious B-town bar & music scene. Needs to post music schedule to the visitBloomington for more people to notice and explore the bands!

9 months agoIf your idea of the perfect bar conversation is talking about different cooking techniques that should be applied to billionaires to make them edible, childhood trauma caused by the trough urinals at Wrigley Field, and why the bartender is scared of fresh eggs, all while The Clash play in the background, this may be your favorite bar in Bloomington. It is mine. It is dark. There are no TVs. The beer and spirits are well curated. Plus the barkeeps know how to have an actual conversation. A true gem of a bar.

week agoMy favorite bar in town. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Very relaxed atmosphere. A great spot for conversation. I’m a big fan of the rotating cocktail menu.
Eric Nashkowski
3 weeks agoFrankly, pretty much the only bar in town I care to spend time in. As an adult (read: non-student) in this town, there aren’t many bars that are a good place to simply hang out - no TVs blaring, no bar crawl nonsense, no overpriced cocktail menu. Just chill. Plus, it’s a great place to see a show!
