worst bar in bloom. you can pay 5 bucks for a two hearted anywhere else i town, not worth going here. your money is hard earned!

Had never been there before. Menu wasn’t super clear to me so I was trying to get a recommendation from the bartender. He didn’t like that, was incredibly rude. Got a random drink I could think of after being essentially told off, tipped anyways, and left. If you’re not a regular or not coming with a regular I wouldn’t recommend. The crowd was very kind and welcoming though. Wish the staff matched.

Went to a Briscoe Concert here and was greeted at the door by the bouncer and he was very nice and professional. Concert venue was small but it was nice overall and the atmosphere was very cool. Would definitely go back.

Awesome place to meet up with friends, have a reasonably priced & carefully-crafted drink, or see a show. Seasonal drinks and rotating specialty cocktails are a must here. If you’re a performer, the stage is raised, a great size for audience engagement— and the sound crew has your back. It was awesome to feature here for Bloomington Poetry Slam/ National Poetry Month. Thanks for being such an awesome venue.

Fun place to grab a drink, gather with friends, catch a performance, or just hang by oneself at the bar. Many beers on tap. One type of wine, best lemonades 😉

The Bishop is awesome. Great space, great employees, and the owner is wonderful as well. Plus, live music! Can't go wrong. Especially on a Wednesday. Pint Night has introduced me to beers I love but never considered before out of fear that I wouldn't like them and never wanted to waste a pretty penny to find out. But it's worth it at Pint Night, makes it easier to be exploratory and not just rest on the "tried and true." shake it up a little, let Pint Night be your guide!
