After spending the day driving and exploring, it was nice to find a quiet and peaceful spot for a beer, sitting in the corner and writing out a few Yelp reviews. Yes, a great selection of local and craft beers. I greatly enjoyed a "Sun Bump" witbier from Wiseacre Brewing.Since they don't serve food, I asked and was told that sure, if I want takeout I can do that. So I ordered a pizza from the place nearby and brought it back to enjoy with a second beer.Neat little spot. Friendly service. And if the weather's nice, sit outside though the view is only of the parking lot.[Review 20553 overall - 91 in Indiana - 1534 of 2023.]

Jazz on a Saturday evening; the band was awesome. Yes, you have to go down the strip mall for food (Avers is nearby). Yes, it seems to be only beer. Fru Fru, hand crafted silliness and well, I rarely drink beer. And this makes me wonder, how will they stay in business with a limited selection. I hope they do, because it was a nice experience, friendly people, great music and a nice vibe in a smaller tavern sort of arrangement.Would I buy more and different stuff if they had it? Hell yes. I had money in my pocket but IPAs with a pedigree don't do it for me. Would I have eaten something nice? Again, sure. I drank $2 canned soda water. Blah. I'll be there again. Maybe it'll improve. The music is very *good*.

This place was phenomenal and truly a hidden Bloomington gem! Great selection of craft beer and had great service. BYOF or we had Aver's deliver from 2 doors down. I absolutely will go back here!

Not much selection, and was surprised by how much it cost. No craft beer from any brewer in town that I saw. Will try again but not a good first impression

Meh. Kind of divey, only so-so selection. Surprised they didn't have more local-ish brews to choose from (even from adjacent states). Overall nothing special.

Great little craft beer bar on the south side of Bloomington. Typically not very crowded and good selection of rotating beers on tap. Nice outdoor seating area too.
