  I'm going to give them an extra star for having trivia, a good beer selection, and nice staff. At least during the week. On the weekend it's filled with drunk college kids. This makes sense since you have to be drunk to not notice the horrible state the place is in. If you are looking for that this is one of the better bars in town for that. If you are not you probably want to stick to going on the weekday. If they put some money into fixing and cleaning up the interior it would be a good place to go during the week or weekend afternoon. Food is not very good either though. It's more of an afterthought. They could definitely get me to stay longer if they had better food. I like the different food items they have but they just don't execute it. They don't have much of a kitchen, ingredients, or cooks so it comes out lacking any real flavor. I will say some of the wraps and paninis are good. But to their credit they don't seem to want to do all that & do the college bar thing well. It's a shame because they have a good craft beer selection & I think try to promote that part of it but they don't take advantage of it because of my previous points.

  We were served infected Deschutes Redchair, it's an insult to the brewers and makes the beer undrinkable. They need to clean their lines/taps and keep the beer fresh.
  
  Furthermore the bar lacks a proper walk-up section which means you either end up pushing aside people at their bar stools or accidentally standing in the waitress station (as it's the only hole in the bar with a rubber mat for placing empties).

  Decent prices for drinks (the usual) but really great place to dance at! My favorite place downtown Bloomington.

  Huge selection of beer, great cocktails as well. Multiple rooms makes it feel like a bunch of places in one.
