Visited on a Saturday for a friend's wedding and was not disappointed by this unique and personal…read morevenue. The couple attends concerts at the theater often so it was lovely to know having their wedding there meant so much. My partner and I watched the wedding from the balcony where the view was spectacular and were easily able to move around the upper level and main level when we wanted to mix and mingle during the reception. If I could watch every wedding from that vantage point, I would; so cool! The venue allowed outside catering, so we had the couple's favorite local barbecue. The serving line moved fast and I was glad for the space allowed to line up all 150+ of us. The stage was used for a dance floor later in the night. Though small, it was a fun experience. The stage is a bit difficult to navigate around as there is only one set of narrow steps in the front. The lights also contribute to making the dance floor a bit warm.

Came to this bar in Bloomington. Diggers is a basic place to get a drink. It for sure isn't…read moreanything special from the looks of things. Good place to meet up for some fun. They have some cheap prices and specials. A bar with the basics. It's about $6 for a cocktail. They have the usual kind of stuff. Classic brands. Jack, Jim, whatever. For sure not the place to get a martini or something fancy. There's also local beers if not wanting to get liquor. For a local bar it's okay to be honest. It's cramped at certain times but usually there's plenty of room inside. There's no real food but they have free popcorn.

Stopped in for a beer traveling through town and this place showed up as a good dive bar. When I…read morewalked in I was surprised it was just a cool old bar-no dive at all. A lot to look at but the wall with album covers is very cool. Bartender was nice and chatted with us. Also offered us popcorn from popcorn machine near the bar. I'd stop through again if driving through.

One of my favorite places for live music. I am a local resident, so don't let the fact that this…read morevenue is on a campus disuade you from checking out this spot. The musicians are incredible - Darcy, of the gravelly voice introducing the artists, brings in the best of the best. Not only will you get to listen to great music, you will be treated to the stories behind the songs. Typically there is a selection of CDs made by these artists and more often than not, I return happily to my table anticipating the new ear candy I'll be enjoying. There is not a bad seat in the house - from a viewing as well as a listening standpoint. In fact, the musicians more often than not will comment on how pleasurable it is for them to perform there. Go to the Blue Moon website and you will see the current schedule, which I am happy to say is filled through the end of the school year. There are links to every artist's website where you can learn more about them and listen to samples of their music. In all the years I've gone to Blue Moon, I have never been disappointed. It makes me look forward to to the return of students. Life is good!

Caught a performance of Chicago here the night before Valentine's Day…read more This auditorium exists inside the Bone Student Center of Illinois State University. They are currently under a bit of construction so getting into the building and finding your way around to the proper check in door was a little disorganized but once there everything seem pretty nice. The chairs are comfy...not squeaky. We got Row 3 seats and I have to be honest....they may have been a little too close to the stage. I think next time I'll shoot for row 6 or 7 to get a better line of sight. There is no drinks allowed as far I saw. Maybe bottled water? I did see they had a lounge called the Circus Room, but I'd venture a guess they don't serve alcohol since it's inside the Student Center. Chicago, the show itself, was great. Broadway calibur actors and musicians. The set was perfect with the band all in plain view. I would like to make a small note of criticism. This shows was scheduled on the same day as a touring production of The Sound of Music over at the Blooming Performing Arts Center. I feel this was in poor taste and timing between the two venues. Performing arts should always be working with each other as a team not in competition. There were plenty of empty seats available at Chicago that may have been filled if the community had not been made to choose between the two shows. Support the arts. Make it easier for everyone to attend both shows if they want to! Evita will be playing here soon.

So, how this place works is that they run your card and they give it back to you but you also get this other card so you can run the taps. This place is absolutely great to try out brand new drinks that you've never tried before. There's at least 20 drinks to choose from give or take. They had a lot of hard cider, meads, hard seltzers and a variety of other drinks. They had other drinks as well up front even some non-alcoholic ones for those that really didn't plan on drinking. They got a great array of games here especially all the pinball! I didn't play any of the games unfortunately but I did look around to see what was featured. I would have been really excited if Speed Demon was featured. Staff here was absolutely friendly, they get a great mix of locals here. Restrooms here were also pretty clean too! Overall, I highly recommend visiting this place if you are in the area. This place has great events as well!
