About Lennie's Brewpub

Lennie's Brewpub offers good food with attentive wait staff. The location is close to campus, but parking can be challenging. The ambiance is described as "okay." The Supreme Stromboli was tasty but a bit underbaked. The Caribbean Tuna Salad with sesame chili dressing was a standout, while the sausage on the pizza was too salty. Gluten-free pizza was delicious, and desserts were also tasty. The pizza has a traditional crust with red sauce, similar to Bloomington-style pizza like Mother Bear's, which has been considered the best in town for many years. The place also offers wonderful beer on tap and friendly, efficient service, making for a nice overall experience. Visitors have enjoyed the Stromboli, which is more like a calzone with folded-over pizza dough, and have praised the tortellini and stromboli as excellent choices. The restaurant is well-regarded for its thoughtful management, using locally sourced food and empowering staff to fix issues proactively. It is also one of the few places in Bloomington where reservations are accepted, and outside seating on Kirkwood Avenue provides a pleasant option. Guests frequently mention the warm atmosphere, great menu for children, and small touches like Hershey's Kisses with the check, making it a popular spot for good food and drinks. Overall, prices are reasonable, and the cozy environment adds to its appeal.
