Best dance floor in Kentuckiana. Everyone is so friendly. Linda and Sharon are both great teachers.

My days of going to the Bluebird 2-3 times a week are long behind me, but as I was attending a show…read morethis weekend, I realized I have never done a Yelp review, and since it's potentially the best bar on the planet, I decided I needed to correct that oversight. During my college years, a good portion of my Bloomington memories are from the Bluebird. Fantastic bands, good friends and a somewhat aggressive number of drinks were the common theme multiple nights a week. Now that I'm OLD(er) the visits are less frequent, but when the right bands are in town and my calendar isn't slammed with adulting, I still find the Bird to be my favorite place in town. The original Bluebird was about half the size it is today. Several years ago, they bought out the restaurant next door and added a large additional space, leading to a pretty big bar/nightclub with a 'bar area' that includes a nice full bar, booths and tables, and the 'live music' portion which has a big stage, plenty of room for big crowds, and a warehouse vibe that is second to none. When you arrive, you'll start to see pictures of the amazing acts that run thru the Bluebird when they're just on the cusp of being 'huge' - from REM to Miranda Lambert to Gryffin, just about every genre is represented and it's nice to say 'I saw them with a few hundred of my friends' after you give ticketmaster your kidney to pay for their giant stadium shows. Reasonable drink prices, good people behind the bar, and the best bands currently playing the area, you can't go wrong with a night at the Bluebird. I wish I was still young and able to do multiple shows every week, but for now I'll just appreciate having it in my backyard so I can attend with the mood hits . Best bar in Bloomington. Probably anywhere.

Absolutely awesome little place. I visited here for the 1st time last night to see Buddy Guy and…read morethe entire venue was so nice. The ladies working the concession area....were really nice! I didn't get names, but the lady that served me food wore a Vivtor Olidipo Pacers game jersey. Buddy Guy was INCREDIBLE and definitely did not disappoint, his opener, Dylan Triplett was on fire!!! The parking was very organized, and the venue was easy to find. As always I have to review the bathrooms...SUPER clean!! I was surprised at how big this small place was. I was very pleased at the venue, for my first visit....and the food was delicious and the drinks were very nice.

If you've read my prior reviews, you might know that I RARELY review anything other than…read morerestaurants. I always claim I'll do better, but something really needs to stand out (good or bad) for me to venture past the food. The Brown County Music Center deserves a review, and thus here you have it! I mentioned BCMC (called it Nashville Music Center sorry) in my review of Hard Truth. This is what prompted me to follow thru with a review. I want to give it two thumbs up! BCMC is a smallish music center in Nashville, Indiana. It holds about 2,000 people and has a main level plus small balcony. The photo in my review is from row 3 in the balcony and as you can see there isn't a bad seat in the house. Parking is simple - the walk from the worst parking spot is probably 100 yards from the front door. VIP parking has better pavement and is much closer. Once inside, there is a nice lobby for selling merch, two indoor concession stands with snacks, drinks and alcohol plus there is an outside fenced off yard for those who want fresh air or to smoke with its own window for concessions. Bathrooms are huge - or at least the men's room is - and rarely is there a line. I'd bet money the person who designed the place made bathroom accessibility a focus. BCMC gets nationally known acts in a small town in southern Indiana. You won't see Taylor Swift here, but you'll recognize almost everyone on the schedule. The 'room where it happens' is well designed, comfortable, has great sound quality and again does not have a bad seat in the house. I love looking thru the shows because I know there will be something I'm interested and the price is always very reasonable. Finally, and maybe most importantly, I don't know if the ushers and staff are volunteers or paid, but they're all super friendly and seem to love having guests visit their facility. Every time I visit, I'm overwhelmed with how friendly they are. I truly would rather see a show at this venue than just about any other location in the state. It's convenient, comfortable, and easily accessible. Kudos to the good folks of Nashville for this fantastic venue!

My girlfriend used to love The Bishop when she was in school, but after her experience a few weeks…read moreago, she won't be back. She and four friends (a group of five) walked in on a Thursday night and were told by the bartender she wouldn't serve them as a group of five because she was "the only one working." Oddly, she said she would have served them if they were a group of three and a group of two. They offered to come up one by one to order instead. They did just that--individually bought beers--but when one of her friends (a Black man) walked back outside within the rails of the establishment, the bartender followed him, grabbed the beer out of his hand, and poured it in the street. She claimed it was "past the rail," even though other groups in the exact same spot were drinking without issue. When they asked for clarification, she eventually handed another friend ~$7 cash to give back to him. The whole situation felt discriminatory, especially since the group was diverse (including Black, Arab, and LGBTQ+ friends), respectful, and well-dressed professionals. Meanwhile, other patrons were not treated this way. To make it worse, when one of them asked a simple question about whether the former owner still ran the place, another customer started yelling at her, saying "everyone knows [owner's name], that doesn't make you special" and the bartender did nothing. What should have been a normal, fun night out turned into an incredibly uncomfortable experience.

Recently visited Mercury Ballroom for a concert. I appreciated that they had security to get in the…read morevenue. My experience getting in was quick. It started by showing my ID to get a wristband, then scanning my ticket and going through security. I enjoyed the concert I went to - the venue was loud, lighting was good, and there was some outdoor space (with a second place to order drinks.) Close to the stage, people were dancing, moshing, and having a great time. In the back, there was room to enjoy with a little more space. My one gripe, I KNOW that alcoholic drinks at all concerts and venues will be overpriced but the only option for water was an $8 can. Just be aware if you plan to hydrate!

I have now been to several shows through the years at Mercury Ballroom - it is high time for a…read morereview! The pros - - no bad seat in the house, but if you're ground level general admission be prepared to stand with us plebs. Seats are for the VIPs and folks who need the accommodation upstairs. Such is life. - Mercury Ballroom is maybe the most intimate large music venues in town. Downstairs GA gets right up by the stage and even 'the back of the room' is only ~20 feet away. - Tickets here are typically quite reasonable. Watch for the $25 show promos that happen once or twice per year. - Friendly staff! - Access to snacks and beverages upstairs and downstairs. - Upstairs accessible by stairs or elevator - Coat check available. The cons - (not their fault, no stars taken) - I struggle to find a selection of great meal options pre-show right now in this theater district part of downtown. Shout-out to the pizza guys down the street for filling my belly pre-show, you're real ones!

Arrived fairly early for an Ali Wong Live comedy show and prepared to be seated in an upper row of…read morethe balcony sections. An usher approached and offered the option of a complimentary upgraded ticket closer to the stage, which was a nice surprise. Truly feel there are no bad seats in this venue and sometimes bring my small binoculars to see if I'm missing anything (typically I'm not), but usually just sit back and enjoy the great audio quality with no complaints. My only grievance is toward fellow seemingly entitled, self-absorbed, impolite patrons who arrive late for the shows, typically with phone flashlights turned on bright who clumsily attempt to find their seats. They seem oblivious to stomping over other patrons in their quest to access seats they had selected in the middle of the row, loudly talking, and flashing blinding lights around. Rude, Rude, RUDE. I wish theaters would institute holding patrons at the door for specific entry into the theater as a group, perhaps 15 minutes into the show. Also, if you're 30 minutes late to an only 1-hour show, it'd be nice if it was either denied entry or perhaps directed to the back rows of the venue. End of rant. :)

What a spectacular building inside and out. A great place to watch a show, very comfortable and…read moreintimate, and the inside decor is simply astounding. Everyone mentions the ceiling and the faces, which are incredible, but there are so many more details to take in: castle-like doors and faux fireplaces, tile work, angelic statues and a starry sky ceiling in the main theater. Also, the Marquee Lounge is a great place to get pre-show drinks and snacks while also giving you a closer look at that ceiling.

I have accessibility needs, and when I arrived they told me I'd have to pay $5 cash to park (which I didnt have) in a handicapped spot. It felt frustrating, especially since I drove myself and couldn't just park farther away and walk. After some discussion (thankfully, my friend spoke up), they waived the fee, but it seems like that's the default expectation, which isn't ideal for people with mobility challenges. Also, the venue itself isn't wheelchair accessible, so that's something to keep in mind. That said, the event itself was fantastic. You should definitely arrive early because most of the seating is on one level, and if someone tall sits in front of you, you might struggle to see. There is a balcony area for extra seating, though. The bar is on the pricey side--a soft drink in a 12 oz cup is about $3--but they do offer some alcoholic beverage specials. Overall, I love the storytelling events and will probably keep going, but I hope they improve their accessibility policies in the future
