Went for Lunch by recommendation of several friends and the Chef himself. Went in with open mind and was blown away by the atmosphere. I sat at the bar and ordered. Bartender was great and knowledgeable about the items and listed the great options. I ordered a drink and talked about trying something new substitute as an ingredient wasn't available. He made a fantastic drink I'd order again. Bob Ross painting special on the TV was top notch aswell.

They were actually playing good house music. Vibe was good, a bit less fratty than other bars

Mid tier mocktails. I was prevented from reentry due to the bartender saying i was previously “too drunk when i left.” I only had non alcoholic drinks and ONE singular shot so they’re either drunk themselves or too afraid to just say they’re at capacity. Made me feel insecure the rest of the nights

I've only been there two times once for private party and once when it's open to the public. Keep in mind that this is Bloomington, Indiana. The time I was there at that it was open to the public it was a majority of Gen Z LGBT crowd, so if that is not, your crowd keep that in mind. Service for the time I was there for the private party was great. I don't remember the other time

This is a fun, eclectic basement bar. Lots of themed nights! Karaoke nights! Great drink specials and mixes. LOVE the Bill F**king Murray! Small bar area, but seem to sling drinks amazingly quick! 90s and 2000s DJ NYE party was my favorite night!!!

Great music on DJ nights and good karaoke nights too. Pretty decent drinks too. Staff is really nice and friendly. Three different room like spaces to handle with different theme. Had a ton of fun during graduation weekend. 10/10 would recommend.

A “sweet spot” bar for bloom. It’s always diverse and eclectic; drinks are great and music is good. Something for everyone.
