Far away enough from the craziness of the college campus and downtown bars but still not too far away. They have events and food trucks, so there's some good times to be had. A brewery that's located in a shopping plaza with a patio and indoor area. It's bigger than it looks. There's arcade games and even more tables upstairs. For sure anyone can find something fun. It's about $7 a pint. Last time I got the Show Me Your Stem. Good one. This is a pumpkin pie wheat. On the rim is graham crackers. The rest of the beers include IPAs as well as wheat beers in flavors such as blueberry and peach. For sure we could come here again. It's located on Empire Street in a shopping plaza. There's no food menu but usually there's a food truck.

My husband and I were just in Bloomington/Normal for a conference and decided to hit up the local…read morebreweries. We enjoyed all of our stops, but Keg Grove continued getting recommendations from locals. As a result, we had to stop by. And, in the end, Keg Grove WAS our favorite! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a kind warm welcome from the bartender. The space was also welcoming. It was wide open, clean, and spacious. My husband each got our own flights (see pictured). We loved all 8 of the beers that we got, but here were our 4 favorites: 1. #3 Malo Pina Colada Wheat, 2. #1 Holey Jeans Blueberry Wheat with a sugar rimmed glass, 3. #11 Love is Love Orange Guava Passionfruit Hard Seltzer, and 4. #7 Cornfuzed Corn Ale. There was not a bad beer and there were several more we would have loved to try. We ended up getting a 4 pack of the Hokey Jeans because the Malo was sold out. Prices are great, portions are reasonable, and presentation was solid. There was nothing to complain about and much to praise. We will definitely be back at Keg Grove the next time we are in town! Thanks for a great visit!

The bouncer stopped me and then yelled at me and said "oh you want to waste my time?" when I asked what he meant he said "answer the question". "I said no and he said right so why are you wasting my time." Again I asked him what he meant. A guy walks past who I assume is a manager, my friend tries to talk to him and the bouncer shoos the guy away. The bouncer proceeds to get in my face and asks me do I want to take this outside. I again ask him WHAT IS HE TALKING ABOUT. After about 15 minutes of being verbally assaulted I was finally let in. My friend who I brought with me is now in tears because she was so afraid. After waiting for her to go to the bathroom and settle down we decided to head to the bar and try to enjoy the rest of our night. Im not sure if it's because Im black, if it's because he wanted to create a line, or if he was fresh off doing a line. But I will not be coming back. This place is racist and has bad music. Don't come here.

Find some pretty okay drink specials and more. The atmosphere sucks at times but it can be okay. A good thing is it's near lots of other bars. If you don't like it here, there's many other places to go. Truthfully it's not all that bad though. It depends. Like all campus bars, its atmosphere changes throughout the year. It's very quiet in summer, and hardly open. They even have limited hours during the school year. Mostly just Friday and Saturday nights, if even. The drinks are the best thing. It's about $3 for the cheapest. The cheapest isn't good but it's cheap for sure. Games in here include cornhole. It's typical drunken fun. They also have live music but there's often a cover though.

They have some cheap prices and specials. A bar with the basics. It's about $6 for a cocktail. They have the usual kind of stuff. Classic brands. Jack, Jim, whatever. For sure not the place to get a martini or something fancy. There's also local beers if not wanting to get liquor. For a local bar it's okay to be honest. It's cramped at certain times but usually there's plenty of room inside. There's no real food but they have free popcorn.

So, how this place works is that they run your card and they give it back to you but you also get this other card so you can run the taps. This place is absolutely great to try out brand new drinks that you've never tried before. There's at least 20 drinks to choose from give or take. They had a lot of hard cider, meads, hard seltzers and a variety of other drinks. They had other drinks as well up front even some non-alcoholic ones for those that really didn't plan on drinking. They got a great array of games here especially all the pinball! I didn't play any of the games unfortunately but I did look around to see what was featured. I would have been really excited if Speed Demon was featured. Staff here was absolutely friendly, they get a great mix of locals here. Restrooms here were also pretty clean too! Overall, I highly recommend visiting this place if you are in the area. This place has great events as well!
