Cocktail Bars near Bloomington

“My baby sister had this restaurant marked as a place to try and so for our sister dinner we decided to check it out. The ambiance is hipster/trendy. They have inside dining and outdoor dining. We chose to sit outside. They also turn on the heat lamps if it gets a little chilly. Our server was David. Five stars all around. He checked on us and made sure that we were good, he even suggested the truffle fries. Now the food, for appetizers my sister had the calamari and I had the Poutine fries. Both were delicious. The peppers in the Calamari were exquisite. We were kind of full so my sister and I split a burger. The beef was cooked to perfection and the truffle fries made with real truffles were outstanding. After our meal we had the pleasure of meeting Steve the manager who was really nice. I will be back so that my Mr. Can have a go.“

The head chef was so nice and came out to introduce himself. The Dj was playing really good music! I would definitely be back and highly recommend this place!“

“I went with my wife and kids for my wife's birthday. This was our first time there and OMG did we make the right decision to go there! Everything from our experience here was perfect. Starting with the ambiance. We started with Shishito Peppers and the Spicy Crispy Scallops and they were both super good specially the scallops if you're not into spicy foods. We also ordered cocktails and our favorite was the Kemosabe but we also had the lychee martini and cherry blossom. They were also great. We then ordered 6 rolls that were to die for and finished the night with a couple of matcha cheese cakes. The service was right on point, our server was super nice and always with a smile. I must say that we have found our favorite sushi place. We will for sure come back. We had an amazing experience.“

“If you're trying to find the sketchiest dive bar as you leave Idlewild, this is the place to go. The photo online only captures a fraction of what you will experience. It's nestled in next to a tire automotive place that allows you to park there if you offer them cigarettes. The staff at lulus is amazing and apparently the customers are also employees because people were getting up and fixing random things around the bar as they were getting drunk. We played pool and got wasted for less than $40 which is unheard of and I think this should be a national landmark. Fat Finger club for life.“

“I am so happy to have a local sports bar nearby home. I ordered the fish and it was delicious with fries and my daughter had the wings. She cried about the hotness and it was just right! Monitors played my hometown team Dah Bears! I loved the vibe and ambiance worth my time and money to make this a place to enjoy and return.“

“We met here for a birthday party. The food was delicious and the service was great. The sandwiches are served on Hawaiian rolls, so they look really giant. The food is fresh, and there are a lot of different sauces to choose from. I chose the Beyond bratwurst. I like it because it was smothered in veggies and a delicious sauce. You have to buy the fries and onion rings separately. There aren't any combos. Drinks are a separate charge, too. I definitely would like to go back.“

“Clean and sleek bar with a relaxed, well kempt vibe and a great staff. We didn't try any of the food, but the drinks were great and the atmosphere was very chill. If you're in the mood for a nice cocktail or a chance to catch up with friends in a cool environment, check this place out.“

“Party like a rock, party like a shrimp rockstar! Located near UCR, this eatery offers a fun experience to grubbing on tasty crustaceans. Dine in or take out, order the shrimp (1lbs) bags, put on your bib, lay out the table mat, and get ready to get your hands buttery and messy. Fun Cajun flavor and simple friendly service make this a good stop for food in Riverside. Try the Cajun sausage and rice too. Parking out front.“

“Best bar around , last of its kind if you like a comfortable place. Not many left like it. Has only one pool table. But has a smoke outside patio where you can bring your drink and it's enclosed and covered too in case it's raining !! I absolutely love this bar. I also love Susie one of the greatest bartenders around, always friendly and remembers your drink. Very comfortable place.“

“Dingers is one of the best places in San Bernardino you can go in there you can go relax you can talk to people you can go eat You can dance you can sing there's pretty much you can play pool throw darts and I can't even think of what else you can add I personally know the owner his name is Dylan and he's a fantastic man.“

“What a great location! The food was absolutely delicious; and the staff, especially manager Armando, was just fabulous. We sat outside at the patio, beautiful breeze, great ambiance (love the fountain) and definitely authentic Mexican food.“

“Neat little hole in the wall. Great service!! Good food. I ordered the albacore nigiri, mango roll, and dragon roll. lol. It was spicy but tasty. The ladies that greeted me were very friendly and made sure I felt at home. Thank you @Sushihgon.“

“Hubby and I came here as part of our date night, and we were so glad we did. We sat at the bar, and the bartender (I can't believe I forgot his name) was amazing. He made us some great drinks! You can genuinely tell he enjoys the art of bartending. We sat and had great convo, sipped delicious drinks, and listened to good music, just an overall good time. We'll definitely be back!“

“Can't rate the food since I've yet to order there but if it's a place ypu want to stop during lunch or after a long days worth of work to get a beer or 2 I recommend it. It's a calm environment a lot of regulars and bartenders are always great no matter which one you “

“Had the pleasure in visiting not too long ago and I had the best time. My best friend brought me to this bar while she lived in the area and the vibe was so easy going. Bartender was so cool to talk to and she was so gorgeous ! The pool table was my favorite part, the professionals there were very helpful with my terrible hand“

“I came to share a birthday with the birthday girl. I live and LA county and this was a cool spot they had live music, DJ and hookah if that's your thing. I didn't try the food and my drink of choice is a French connection and it's a simple drink and some people look at me and ask what's in it, well not this bartender he said one French connection coming up. I stayed until closing the music was a mix as I'm older and when they play my cha cha song it was on. It's was a 45 min drive so if I'm in the area again I will stop by.“

“I saw the fish tacos on Instagram and had to try them. Yep they're on point. Idk how the fish stood so crunchy after I drenched them with salsa and lemon. Loved them and will be back very soon. I took my 3 younger sons ( 2 of them have autism) and wasn't a problem. At all. So happy I've got a new taco spot. Highly recommend this restaurant ?“

“Nice place . Great owner, good prices. Mug Mondays, tequila Tuesdays, good deals on sat.Pool tables, , Sundays some free food. For paying customersJust wished it was a bit closer to my house.But that's why I travel to go there cause it's a great bar.“

“Service was great, hostess and waitress were very friendly. The food was really good, we had the ahi wonton nachos, the lobby Cobb salad, the steak and short rib mac n cheese. We highly recommend the nachos and Mac. I was a bit confused that the salad didn't come with dressing, but the waitress happily brought us a side of ranch. Drinks were good, we ordered the whiskey lullaby (but they couldn't make it) so got an old fashioned instead and it was good. The "just keep swimming" was my favorite drink, it was just full to top of the fishbowl with ice. I'd probably ask for less ice next time. The inside is a little dark and loud. But all in all very good food and a very good experience. And we will absolutely return.“

“Taco Station is a taco lover's dream come true! With its authentic flavors and fresh ingredients, every bite is a fiesta for the taste buds. From classic street tacos to inventive specialties, there's something for everyone to enjoy.“

“Service is great, drinks are very well made , Cuban sandwich was YUMMY! The only thing "negative" is the dance teacher. They need to get a Dominican or Cuban to teach salsa and bachata- I sat laughing watching her. ( I'm Dominican ) Someone show her where her hips are please lol. The ambiance is amazing!!“

“I came in to celebrate st Patrick's day because of the specials I saw on Instagram and let me tell you the ambiance is so awesome. They had a dj spinning up tunes from all types of genres and people dancing!!!!! The drinks were amazing the girl in the bar was doing her thing and I loved every single one.. The paintings are so beautiful cudos to the culture in there. The food let me tell you 10/10 the BEANS even greater. I definitely recommend this place I brought my girlfriends and we danced so much we will definitely be back“

“Solid Italian at Victoria Gardens in R.C. Great atmosphere in what I call casual upscale Italian. Cloth napkins, multiple forks, clean and uniform servers.Grilled Salmon Fresca was refreshing. The Fresca element was light and crisp. There are sweet potatoes in the relish, which was unfamiliar but not off-putting. Salmon is grilled well. Falls apart easily, no bones and a lovely dark pink color.“

“Came in for a couple martinis after our brunch at the mission inn restaurant. This is a uniquely decorated bar and lounge since it was originally a church. They had a good drink menu along with a decent food menu. Our premium liquor martinis were very well made and tasty. I liked how quiet and relaxing this bar was. We would definitely stop by whenever we are in this area!“

“Such a hidden gem! Super affordable. The portions are perfect, the quality of the food is amazing, and their brunch is the ABSOLUTE BEST! Delicious mimosas, and I love that they have brunch until much later than usual. A must-try within the city!“

“Place deserves a higher rating. We stumbled into this place because we were craving crab. Kicking crab didn’t open yet and to our delight, we were just in time for happy hour. From the top to bottom, the place was great. The specials send big bag of seafood for $42-$48 and the sides were so good. 12-3pm is happy hour so you get a small discount on appetizers and such. Overall, really happy to have come here. Their hot and house spices/ sauce were so good. Ate a ton. The crab was cooked perfectly and the potatoes“

“The music was just my vibe. The cook was not working the day we went in but the staff suggested we order food and have it delivered. Great drinks and music. It's a good neighborhood bar we're you could meet up with friends. Very causal.“
