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.

The weekend we went happened to be Bloomington Pride, so this place was packed. A fun mixture of college students, 20 something's, and older folks. You enter through a tall fence off of an alleyway, so I'm guessing it's challenging to find if you don't know where you're going, but that's part of the fun. Of the 4 lesbian bars we've been to, this place wins for best decor hands down. We're talking zebra print walls, stuffed unicorn heads, yonic art, glow in the dark paint. Great vibes. They have a super cute outdoor patio as well, and I loved the little food truck on the patio that opens at 9 pm! Great waffle fries and hot sandwiches. Nothing hits as right as hot cheese when you're drunk. They have tons of fun specialty drinks on a menu behind the bar! Also a great mocktail menu for the sober community! Everyone was super welcoming in this space. The one complaint I have is the Dj... we came here to dance the night away and barely made it to 11 pm because the DJ didn't play any recognizable songs or songs with a dancing beat. There were only around 10 people on the dance floor at a given time. On the other hand, this is the first lesbian bar I've been in that has had an operational dance floor with anyone on it, so that's a win. I can't wait to come back again the next time I visit Bloomington!

Its a safe place to foster community of any kind. They support so many local organizations it makes my head spin. I do know the owners on a personal level. That doesnt sway my 5* vote. They are true women who do care. It is undeniably the best place to dance in BLM any day of the week. They do have great drink specials. Some of the bartenders make the best drinks in town, and its not over priced. Gay, straight, anywhere in between has a home here. Come join us.

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.

Despite all the open seating, we were placed right between two other parties, which was a little annoying. The service itself was just okay. Nothing terrible, but nothing particularly memorable either--mostly just taking orders and bringing out food. The portions were on the smaller side, though you'll definitely get full if you order enough dishes. The frites were good and reminded me of Five Guys fries. I ordered the chicken, while my husband got the chef's special: homemade potato gnocchi with tenderloin. The chicken was decent but a little dry and really depended on the sauce for flavor. The chef's special, however, was excellent. We also enjoyed the Rosebud cocktail and the lemon tart for dessert.

The chicken VERY juicy too! I got the Fulaful- I don't even know what that is, but I felt adventerous! I loved the orange sweet potatoes and Pistashio Nuts, and the savory Spinach was incredible!
