Shocked that they only accept cash at the door for cover/ticket charge!! Caught us off guard for sure.

I visited the venue last night to watch a band I enjoy. I pre-purchased my tickets so I could just scan them off my phone when I arrived however they did have tickets available to purchase at the door. There is street parking which is free after 9 p.m. The staff were not overly polite but the space was unique and the sound quality was great. The drinks were priced a bit high which is expected at most music venues, in my opinion. Overall I had a good time.

If you want live music, there is no place like a dive bar. Intimate, up close, and up and comers.This place doesn't look very good on the inside. The floor is sticky. There are few seats and tables or counters to put down your drinks. But there is a lot of space, which they make good use of, because it fills up. Several rooms, 3 bars, and multiple levels as you make your way down to the stage. Thankfully they pump in a lot of A/C, so it's not a sweaty mosh pit. The mixed drinks young people were drinking looked like vodka and blue sugar water, and the beers were ok (not much on tap), but they get great bands and you can stand right up at the stage. $10 cover. Prepare for it to be crazy loud. You won't have a conversation here, but enjoy the show. There are TVs above the 2 bars toward the front if you want to check a sports score, but don't plan to hear them.

Bar in Bloomington with nice stage and seating. We didn't try food. We did get drinks and they were water down. Service was not best just very right to point and not very friendly

Smaller venue, great performers = great experience. Friends and I saw Shane Smith & The Saints here and they rocked.. I expected so many more people at the show, especially with their recent mention on YellowStone, but to our surprise it was a lite show. No complaints here as it made the experience that much better. The band absolutely crushed. The venue is solid and has seen some amazing bangs come through it. Plenty of alcohol behind the different bars and prices were reasonable overall. The venue was clean for the use it gets and staff friendly. Look forward to catching another show there in the future

Jerks through and through. The only expectation you can have here is that you'll pay too much for drinks and have a cruddy experience along the way.

Love the Bluebird! Saw Dawes here this past spring. Atmosphere was great, and there was enough room for everyone while still feeling like an intimate venue. Also had a great variety of viewing spots and seating. Bar service was great -- quick and efficient and friendly. Overall, highly recommend.

Bartender with painted nails and big forehead was so rude to my friends and I. No hospitality..... I have never seen a bartender who gives no fuck about his job. Rude, rude, rude... one customer after another he would be bitchy serving drinks to paying customers. Not a bartender any industry would want.

If you want to see a show, better check if it's SRO or you will be sorry. Ridiculous!!

Showed up before 930 so no cover charge. Cool. But if you want to step outside to smoke after 930 they will not give you a stamp without paying a cover charge to regain entry. What??
