One of my all-time favorites. There is always someone celebrating something and the attitude is the more, the better the party. It's also a great place to celebrate with family or just hangout. I highly recommend the burger dilla and everyone has to try the Dr. Pepper shots at least once.

The staff were super attentive and friendly which is why it’s 2 and not 1 star but everything else about KOK has changed for the worse. The seating is just awful now, they took out tons of booths so now it’s stand and lean almost entirely inside. The outdoor seating was weirdly tight and not comfortable. The drinks are definitely smaller, I remember when they made long islands in a small pitcher, now they’re made in cups the size of Pizza X. Also, it was a Friday night and I know it was summer but we went when they opened at 9 and the kitchen was closed? We literally just wanted long islands with an order of bread sticks for old times sake but I guess that’s not possible on Friday’s anymore? The upstairs was also not open. Overall, pretty disappointing, won’t be back, not like it used to be.

The famous breadsticks were out of stock at 7:00pm on a game day and there was no wine available. Restrooms were in sad shape.

The “DJ” played repetitive, non-innovative songs causing the atmosphere to be stale. The drinks helps one overcome the musical deficiencies. Drinks are your average college beverage.

Connor Fisher was an amazing bartender. He did a great job taking care of our party. We had a great birthday celebration at this college bar.

Of course the targeted audience is college students but it's still a good place for townies to enjoy the bar scene. (usually when students AREN'T out in droves) but you can still meet a lot of interesting people!

One of the best bars with best bars staff I’ve been to in 37 states

It's a typical college bar. The bar is usually very crowded and has an average drink selection. Prices are not outrageous and they run specials frequently. The floor and seating areas are fairly sticky, but again, it's a college bar. Their breadsticks, though, are to die for!
College bar, service speed hit and miss, will never go in filthy restroom again. Maybe I was little tough on them...was there during Spring break ... restroom was clean and rest of bar floor was not covered in Beer either. It gets crazy when students are around.

Management neglects the bar in every way possible. NOT a friendly enviornment or inclusive. Hopefully there are no flaoters in your drinks. If you get lucky you might catch the owners and management doing Coke in the office instead of working. Coudnt leave a half star or i would.

The go to place in Bloomington. Huge space with two floors and an outdoor dancing area. Lots of fun to be had throughout.

A staple of Bloomington and Indiana University, Kilroy’s is by far the best bar in town. With tons of people flocking there daily, there are always activities and sales. I would highly recommend the never ending party at Kilroy’s on Kirkwood!

The drink specials were the only thing that impressed me. The service was awful. Asked the server what type of cheese was on the sliders. She said she thought it was cheddar. I said that's fine as long as it's not American and reiterated that I could not eat American cheese. It took over 30 minutes to get five sliders, and they did have American cheese on them, in addition to being very overcooked and dry. We saw the server only when she took our order and to bring out the food. Neither of which times she asked if we needed anything else or if our food was ok. To top it off we had to ask for our check and still ended up having the bartender get it for us after waiting for over 10 minutes .
If you're in town, KoK is the place to be!
