Bloomington is a college town, so it is (in)famous for its night life. Many of the local watering holes often feature an odd, hippy-vibe; this is classic Bloomington.

* The Vid : Features tons of pool tables and dart boards. If you like sweet drinks, try a "Sweet-Tart".

* The Tap : Has a great Wednesday night Trivia (if you make it in early). Only serves beer and wine.

* Upstairs Pub : This is one of the most famous bars in town. It is the first bar you'll see if you walk toward Kirkwood from IU campus.

* The Orbit Room : Often showcases musicians and artists. Check their website for information on dates/times. If you are lucky, you'll see a jazz performance from some top tier professional musicians, trying to enjoy their evening.

* The Bluebird : This is a *very* popular bar among locals and college-folk. It regularly features rock bands and hosts karaoke nights.
