Popped in hungry and hot after walking around McCormick's Creek State Park…read more The space itself isn't especially appealing; the exterior is an unassuming brick building-we almost missed it-and the interior is fairly minimal as well. If you have a large crowd you might be challenged. But we weren't there to take in a scene and icy water was brought immediately after we seated ourselves. We were provided paper menus but also check out the digital versions! There were a couple of differences, one was only wording but did result in a side upgrade for one in our party. I got the standard burger and, with the server's recommendation, added bacon jam and aioli to make a smaller version of the double-pattied civilian burger. Delicious and right sized for me. The fries are a must. They're beer battered steak fries, crispy outside, soft and steamy inside. The pulled pork got positive reviews but looked messier than what I wanted to manage in that moment. The menu has a good variety, including a couple of vegetarian options. I was also very happy to find a rye beer with a more modest ABV as I like the spicy bitterness of rye beers but they tend to be more than I want after hiking around on a hot day. Service was great. Our server was familiar with the menu and super friendly. This spot is a great option after a hike in the area, especially if you're cringing at the thought of navigating the student crowd in Bloomington but still want a good meal and beer. Added bonus: fantastic prices.

This spacious winery has seating inside or outside on a large patio, along with picnic benches and a walking trail around the lake. There is also a large pavilion where you can have a beautiful wedding ceremony. Because this is such a beautiful spot, you will want to book far in advance. This winery has seasonal events and when the nights get colder you can even light up a bonfire! I'd highly recommend trying one of their signature slushies because they are incredibly tasty!

My husband and brother enjoyed the beer they tried. I enjoyed the atmosphere. They have popcorn and games to play. They have a cat who seems to love there. It's kid and dog friendly and just an overall nice place to spend an afternoon. The bartender was very friendly as were the other patrons. I was so happy to see this place and the memorabilia throughout. Highly recommend it to anyone. They have an outdoor patio that I hear is packed in the summer! We'll definitely return!

Afterburner is my 259th brewery that I have visited. I am a beer fanatic but am somewhat of an…read moreadmitted beer snob. I'm not a guy who has a sophisticated palate that tastes notes of Madagascaran pine nuts or hints of organic apricot. I just like the beer or I don't. Afterburner is veteran owned local brewery. They don't have food inside but there was a food truck parked out front. The facility is rather large but their beer menu is pretty small. When I went they had 5 beers, 2 ciders and 3 wines on tap. There is also a fenced in area outside with picnic tables so you can let your pets or children off their leash. I had a standard 4 beer flight (just samples here so same thing without the board). I got their Nunquam Fractum (wheat beer), Unscoreable (pale Ale), Midnight (double Imperial Stout) and Mach (hazy IPA). All were solid but the Mach was great. My only criticism is I'd like to see a few more beer styles on the menu and I wish their sticker had their name and location (I'm a nerd with a brewery sticker wall in the garage). Other than those little critiques, it's an awesome place

The area was well maintained, and had a nice outdoor space to sit. We all ordered one drink each- with the price of how expensive the drinks were, it was hard to have multiple. I will say- I am not a craft guy, nor a whisky guy, but was along for the ride. I had a Bahama mama cocktail- it was strong, but not overpowering. Would try again in the future when returning for food and possibly a tour. Overall, drinks and the ground were great, but the price of the cocktail kept me from staying too long.

The location of the brewery was in the downtown area, which, as a visitor to the are, looks like it…read morecould be a great location for restaurant s, bars and shops. A much needed revitalization plan for businesses could make the area a hot spot for local upscale people wanting a nice evening out. 2) the brewing companies look or ambiance was definitely taken into consideration when the owner designed it. For example, it does not look like the dive bar in the corner. Well done! 3) the brewery had five of their own brews available and this is the only reason I wanted to check it out. The stout was my favorite, not that any of them were bad. However, all the beers, and we sampled all of the home brews, tasted thin. Thin meaning they lacked flavor- I felt like I had watered down beer. In addition, I kept tasting metal- there was a metallic taste to four of five of the beers I tasted. This is a common issue I have noticed with many start up microbreweries that the owners will need to figure out in the brewing process. Light beers such as Coors light and Bud light are also watered down beers, in my opinion, but the flavor of the beer still comes through. I'm not a fan of Coors light and Bud light but I find a light beer less heavy and, at times, satisfying as a staple day-to-day beer. I prefer a craft beer for its bolder flavors as they are much more enjoyable. Overall, I think this brewery needs to perfect their formulas but I am hopeful they will figure it out. I'll return in a few years to see if they stepped up their game. Nonetheless, I appreciate the owners enthusiasm to deliver a unique set craft beers. I forgot to mention the service was vert good! I hope this doesn't come across too harsh and the feedback is considered constructive!! Good luck!

I've only ever had the pizza here but it is better than I had originally expected. The dough is fluffy and the cheese and marinara are flavorful.

The building and atmosphere is welcoming and provides space for small or large parties, and though the servers are pulled in several directions at once all the time, they make sure to come back around and check on you often.
