“I didn’t eat here because I was already full, just looking for a hole in the wall to drink. I found the hole. This place had amazing feel/atmosphere. Gave me Irish pub vibes. Mark, the bartender was awesome. I am in town visiting family and I will definitely be coming back everyday until I leave. 10/10“

“I hosted a private event (50+ people) at Upland Brewery on Thursday, Oct 19. Anna was my contact at the location and she was sensational. She ensured that I had everything that I needed in order to have the event be a success. The food was delicious and came out hot and ready. The bartender was so sweet - our large crowd was no match for her as she was quick and ready! The space was absolutely perfect and was made even more eloquent by the Edison lighting hanging above. If you are looking for a unique, cool, and fun place to host any event, this is your place! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“
“Best locally-brewed beer in Bloomington.The prior experience in the industry held by the brewer at Heartwork results in—for the customer—a craft beer experience filled with knowledge about the production of the beer itself. You'll know why the beer you drink tastes as good as it does because the staff is well-versed on that information, and that's a really cool way to begin to get repeat customers (myself included).You aren't just there to drink a beer, it's almost as if you're sharing the staff's love for craft beer in general. Where else in Bloomington is it normal for me to openly nerd out about the mineral profile of water in relation to beer production, or about the design of a beer tap/faucet?“
