I'm not a big fry lover, but I loved these. The wrap was just okay. They forgot to put dressing in it, so I had to ask for a side and then dip my wrap in it. The chicken in it came crispy and had a healthy amount of cheese which I was a fan of. We went on a Friday late afternoon & it wasn't busy at all but the service was not good. Our service was very nice but everything just took awhile.

The Stromboli is incredible! Lots of flavor, great bread, meat, cheese yum!!! Oh, and the bread and butter pickles on the side are delicious too! The inside is really cool! Lots of booths always a plus, I U memorabilia, TV's playing sports, a bar, all in a very warm and inviting down home college hang out. I took home one of their great glass mugs. Took a keychain home also on the at out. Just nice friendly staff in a great college town. Oh, I will say I don't like mushrooms but on the way out we saw a plate of breaded mushrooms and my goodness they were huge and looked good. I might've tried one. Ha

NICK'S ENGLISH HUT IN BLOOMINGTON, INDIANA IS NOSTALGIC…read more============================== I attended a parent's cocktail party about nine years ago when I visited IU during the student orientation for my son. I had fun, had a beer and collected a Nick's Hut glass jar/glass. Fast forward nine years and my son and daughter-in-law had their "Welcome Party" the evening before their wedding on Friday, June 19, 2026. This was after their wedding rehearsal and dinner elsewhere. We had a great time on the second floor that was totally reserved for our big group. They had more food, beer and other beverages as well. Kind of cool to attend events before my son started college and years later.

The prices were also very reasonable for both food and drinks. You can get the typical no-frills bar food, but if you're just looking for a space to relax before an IU game I'm not sure there's a better spot in Bloomington. We had great service and our whole group kept talking about how it was such a great find. It's attached to a motel and can be easily overlooked when driving into town.

It's kinda not about the drinks or the food, it's really about the vibes, that you either get or you don't.

Entrees: Sweet Plum burger, Bad Elmer's burger & Blue cheese slaw. We loved the plum sauce & BBQ sauce. The chef has a neat and different take on dips using in-house beers. Blue cheese slaw had lots of red cabbage but maybe missing something or more sauce. Suggestion: order bbq sauce on the side for dipping the Bad Elmer burger. Overall, our meals were correct, service was excellent and worth going back to try other menu items.

On the night of our visit to Brothers Bar & Grill, my friend Nariah and I had only been inside for…read moreapproximately 5-10 minutes waiting in line at the bar when a large male approached us and aggressively asked us to move because he wanted to meet his friend at the bar. Despite there being very little room, we moved as much as physically possible to accommodate him. When the man realized we could not move any further, he forcefully pushed past us and bum-rushed through the crowded line. We calmly asked him not to do that again, at which point he became hostile, continued pushing, and called us "black bitches." Shortly after, security approached us instead of addressing the man's behavior. We were aggressively told to "get the tf out" and informed that we were going to be banned. When I asked why, explaining that we had done nothing wrong, security responded by saying they "don't want any ghetto birds in our bar." As women of color being publicly disrespected, shoved, verbally attacked with racist remarks, and unfairly removed from the establishment, we became understandably upset and frustrated. While being pushed out of the establishment, security standing outside also spat on us. For legal purposes, I recorded portions of the incident and took photographs. I am also aware that the establishment has security cameras that should contain footage of the interaction from beginning to end. What makes this even more heartbreaking is that my family has deep roots in this community. My grandfather served as Captain of the Fire Department in Bloomington, and I have personally visited Brothers locations in my own hometown locally without issue. Receiving this type of treatment in the city of Bloomington is deeply saddening and disappointing. It feels as though respect and treatment toward minorities and people of color in certain establishments and parts of the community has significantly declined. No one should feel unsafe, degraded, discriminated against, or racially targeted simply for existing in a public establishment. Based on this experience, I would never recommend eating at or visiting this establishment. No customer should be subjected to racism, physical aggression, verbal abuse, or discriminatory treatment by patrons and security staff alike.

They don't arrive quickly, but they're worth the wait. Secondly, there's a good variety of both vegetarian and meat dishes. Several were tried, including curries as well as tandoori. All were good. Thirdly, this is formal dining, and served correctly. Not plastic plates, not table service in a crowded noisy venue. Although it's a "sports bar", there is no cacophony of noise, although the monitors are distracting. Also distracting is the fact that the Edison lights sit low, and those seated can see these bulbs across their vision too easily. It's actually quieter than its competition, and there is stiff competition. Service is good and not overbearing, also not distracted by whatever the waiter/waitress is looking at on their phones. Parking is downtown, and therefore horrific on a good day, but there's a parking garage nearby. Recommended without reservation.
