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 🩷
The owners are amazing people so that means they have a great staff, food is amazing and karaoke is the best. On Sundays and Tuesdays! Come and see!! Huge Bloomington Bison supporters !!!
highly recommend! the staff are great. The atmosphere was so inviting and laid back. I really enjoyed karaoke.

Shake It Up Cocktail Lounge & Eatery in Bloomington offers a friendly and enjoyable atmosphere, making it a great spot for various occasions. The establishment is known for its top-quality food, including delicious duck wontons, Szechuan thigh bites, the chicken pesto sandwich, and the Ronin burger, along with creative, well-crafted cocktails. The staff and owners treat customers warmly, ensuring a memorable experience.
They have created a chic space with a beautifully restored mahogany bar front and center on the main floor and a nice, cozy room and small performance space upstairs. The area is loud upstairs if you want to party, but quiet downstairs if you want to vibe. They offer light-to-medium food choices, including familiar options like burgers and wings. The food and drinks are always amazing. The mocktails on the menu are lovely, and there is great mixing for alcoholic and NA drinks, plus a few THC options.
The food has highlights including a flight of bruschetta and a perfect balance of light and filling brunch options. The place is a fabulous lounge and very chill. The service is generally good, but can be slower during busy times, such as when there is a party upstairs. Despite this, the overall experience, including the food, drinks, and service, makes it worth the wait.
