The food is excellent and exquisite, which warrants compliments to the chef! The atmosphere in Mystic is lively and energetic. We always enjoy coming to this establishment!!“

“This is Bloomington’s best hidden gem - the menu is totally unique from anywhere else in town, the cocktails are staff-created and to die for, and you really can’t ask for better company! Pat hired the friendliest crew in town (shoutout to Stephen), so do yourself a favor and get to know them 🩷“

“We love Bakery & Pickle! Our food is always outstanding, good service, and quality cocktails. We love their bartender Cullen. He makes the best drinks in town and will even create something unique based on our tastes. We had so much fun at the bar last night that we skipped our dinner reservations in the dining room and enjoyed our anniversary dinner at the bar. This place is always a good time with great staff, food, and atmosphere. Cullen keeps us coming back for his excellent cocktails!“

“Amazing food, top-notch service. The honey bread was transcendant. Don’t talk yourself out of it due to pricing. It was worth every dollar and every bite. Cannot recommend it enough.“

“Super fun cocktails and beautifully served!“

“The food was awesome, hot & cooked perfect! The staff couldn’t have been better! My husband & I will be back!“

“Megan is hands-down one of the best bartenders I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Every time I stop by Fat Jack’s, she makes the experience 10x better. She’s quick, attentive, and always seems to know exactly when you need a refill. On top of that, she has a warm and welcoming personality that makes everyone feel like a regular—even if it’s their first time there. She mixes a fantastic drink, keeps the vibe fun and relaxed, and clearly cares about creating a great experience for her customers. If you’re at Fat Jack’s, do yourself a favor and grab a drink from Megan—you won’t be disappointed!“

“Amazing food. I had the chicken and waffle, my wife had the green chorizo tacos and our daughter had the southwest bowl. Food was amazing. The depth of flavor was out of this world. Service was friendly and they treated us as if we were guests in their home. I couldn't recommend this place more. This is our second time here and we will be back every time we visit our daughter at college.“

“Love this bar... Good prices on drinks and bartenders are super cool... The blonde headed one is super cool... I don't remember her name and honestly she probably doesn't remember mine... But she had a great attitude and gives great service. She hooked up with some Carmel Apple jello shots around Halloween... They were awesome! Would totally recommend this bar... You just need to like or appreciate country music... It plays in this bar“
