A classy, hidden gem that Bloomington has needed for quite a while. Superbly crafted cocktails using fresh juices and sometimes the Flavour Blaster or Ripple, highly trained staff combines to elevate your craft cocktail experience in Bloomington.
Very cool bar weirdly hidden in a typical college bar. You must have a reservation or get on the wait list., which we lucked out in getting a spot on. They have a huge cocktail menu and many fun options. You also get a Chicago mix popcorn bowl to snack on. Fun vibe, exactly as you would expect it to be.
DunnKirk Library was a highlight of our recent trip! We were only in Bloomington for one night, and it was the right choice to spend it here. The atmosphere is exactly what you want from a hidden speakeasy, but the drinks were somehow even better - creative and genuinely different from what you'd find on a typical cocktail menu. Our bartender (Chase) was wonderful and nailed every recommendation, and the bourbon selection impressed my bourbon-collecting husband.

The Dunnkirk Library is a classy and jovial cocktail bar that offers an exceptional dining experience. The attentive staff ensure a memorable visit, even going the extra mile to accommodate guests. The ambiance is unparalleled, and the expertly crafted drinks are worth the premium pricing. This hidden gem is a must-visit destination for cocktail enthusiasts.
Tucked away within a popular college bar, guests make their way to the hallway leading to the hidden entrance. A reservation or a spot on the wait list is required to gain entry. The space is small and intimate, with several tables along the wall and great bar seating, which is where you want to be. The ambiance is welcoming and fun, with the talented bartenders crafting the myriad delicious cocktails, which is worth the visit itself. Friendly and more than happy to recommend something if you're not sure what you'd like, the menu is fun to peruse while making your choices. Visitors are bound to find a concoction to suit their fancy, and it will be pretty amazing. The bourbon selection includes select bourbons for 1.5 oz pours, alongside a Chicago mix popcorn bowl to snack on. The Dunnkirk Library is a fantastic spot in Bloomington and highly recommended for cocktail enthusiasts.
