So I typically eat lunch at The Office Lounge on Monday or Wednesday, as it's the day their 'Butt…read moreSteak Special' takes place, but this week I did a Thursday with a small group of friends and realized I haven't ever reviewed the place. Figured I should fix that. It's a great dining option, and I'm sure if I was a bar-going person it would be an amazing bar option in Bloomington if you want to stay away from the downtown/student/club like vibes. The office lounge is located on the East side of town, and has all the 'dive bar' feels with great food and people, good service and reasonable prices. The steak special lunch is a nice piece of sirloin, French fries, and a piece of Texas Toast for less than a basic meal at McDonalds. And it's good. This week I tried the sirloin burger for the first time, also with fries, and everything was great. The tenderloin is also a favorite (it's Indiana, of course it is) and I hear great things about other meals. Service is always quick, though it can get pretty crowded at lunch so keep that in mind. Plenty of parking if you're creative in the lot. All in all, a great option for anyone looking for a great bar-level food menu and good prices.

Great spot...I'm ashamed to admit it took me as long to get to as it did. Review is solely on the…read moresocial venue aspects, as I've not done any tours or tastings. But nothing but good things to say. Lots of space, cool design...was there on a day when the courtyard type area had a tent set up for World Cup viewing, had an energetic crowd, and the rooftop bar had a more chill vibe, for lack of a better term...both fantastic in their own ways. Rooftop setup is amazing! Yeah, you'll get some sun at different points, but the space is classy but relaxed, and the city views are pretty damn nice. Great selection of cocktails (love getting to try some brandy options, I enjoy something different), bartenders are welcoming and helpful. Failed to get a pic, but the charcuterie boards from Cultured are top notch! Well worth a visit...or maybe making it a regular happy hour spot, as I intend to do.

We shopped in the gift shop and took a look around. We went up to the rooftop bar and I will say the bartender was nice and good at her job. This visit to the distillery was part of an all day and night trip in Louisville in which we made 10 stops. I will say that the cocktail I had was the best of the day and definitely a good way to start my day. The cocktail I had was the Grape in Rio and it was made with the Copper & Kings Brandy and had coconut creme, pineapple juice, lime juice and a brandied cherry. It was also a very pretty cocktail. We went out on the patio to take a look around, it was breezy out there but I could see where it would be nice to sit out there and have a cocktail. We will stop in again as it looks like they offer some nice amenities on their patios in the warmer weather.

Street parking is available.   Vibe: Classy, upscale, and comfortable. One of my favorite local spots to relax and enjoy a good meal.   Service: Great customer service. The staff is attentive and enjoyable to interact with.   Food: Everything I have ever eaten here, including our most recent visit, has been delicious. Cooked and presented perfectly, with fresh and flavorful ingredients that go well together.   Quick Tip: If available, try the Deviled Eggs - they are always top tier! For an entrée, you can never go wrong with their steaks!

They have a catalog of over 2,000 unique bourbons from which you may choose and watch the bartender climb the old library style ladder to retrieve it! I'm sure there are many pictures of this online and I apologize for not adding to the multitudes because it really is impressive! I was with a large party and neglected to take pictures because I had such a great time! The food and drinks really deserve to be seen; I apologize for missing that opportunity to show them off. We had out-of-town family visiting and they really enjoyed the experience. The service was exceptional and the food even better. Our experience was all around wonderful and we will be back! The pricing there is on par with the finest restaurants in town and is well worth it. If you're on a tight budget, get a seat at the bar for one drink just for the large catalog of bourbons to browse and the overall bourbon club atmosphere and experience.

Food 2.5/5: This obviously carries the most weight. The menu itself is excellent and the descriptions and components of each dish sound perfect. The execution was way off! Literally everything was far too salty and we ordered things that should not be salty... diver scallops and black cod. These are delicate proteins that don't need much help. Why oh why over-salt these?! Oddly the cook on both was very good but the seasoning ruined both dishes. Drinks 4.5/5: We had 3 different cocktails all of which were excellent.

You do have to make sure you get a reservation, which can be tricky but if you do it's worth it. There is a time limit on the reservation, but there's plenty of time for you to enjoy a couple drinks and take in the atmosphere. It's a really small spot, but the vibes are strong. They give you popcorn to munch on while you sip your drinks and the noise of the upstairs is completely drowned out. I highly recommend checking this place out.
