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.

They have a bubble room! It's awesome. A place where you can parachute little figure people over and over again. Shoot I laid down on a bed of nails once here. They have a huge climbing vine that you can climb all the way up to the second floor. But, you have to climb back down it doesn't exit on that floor. They have a cool water science area for kids complete with rain gear - which is optional do what you want ha. It's just a cool place. It's not too big and it's not too small. It the perfect sized science museum. They have the coolest gift shop! I still have my Wonderlab water bottle from years ago. If you've never been make a day of it!

These folks sell maple syrup at some Chicago farmers markets, and let me just tell you that this is…read morethe best syrup I have ever had. Better than various fancy maple syrups I sampled in Vermont. Better than the maple syrup I recently brought back from Canada. This is the kind of maple syrup that will make you understand and appreciate the entire genre of maple syrup, which I previously regarded as pointlessly sweet and a way to squander perfectly good pancakes. They have some varieties aged in various alcohol barrels -- the rum-barrel and bourbon-barrel syrups were really good and had a distinct character that would make them fun to play with in cocktails and at the stove. But the best one is their straight-up super mapley Farm Grade "B" maple syrup. It cost something ridiculous ($20, I think) for one 12 oz. bottle, but it was worth it. UPDATED: 2/28/2016. Everything I said above about the awesomeness of the syrup remains true, but I can now add that they have awesome customer service as well. I ordered several bottles of syrup for Christmas gifts. On 12/23, I realized that one of the bottles hadn't arrived. Tim Burton himself drove to my house(!) on Christmas Eve to hand deliver the wayward bottle, to make sure that Christmas morning was complete. I already gave them five stars, but now I would like to give them six.
