Nightshop - Live music bar in Bloomington - 517 N Main St, USA

Nightshop is doing their best to continue to serve the community! We ate on their outdoor patio recently for brunch. They have a great selection of brunch items and it's one of my favorite places for brunch. Their menu has changed a bit since they originally opened but I always leave satisfied. They have Bailey's now which is nice! They have an excellent beer selection and the staff is attentive and knowledgeable.

Great selection of beers, with a frequently-changing list that often brings back the most popular drafts of previous rotations. Great entertainment, including live music, karaoke, and the occasional movie. They've almost always got something entertaining on the TVs, and the staff are usually pretty quick to come take your order when you're ready.

This establishment was lovely, a modernized tavern-style theme with vegan comfort foods, yes please! I was overwhelmed at how mouthwateringly delicious the vegan fry basket was but was rather disappointed by the salted exterior of my tacos. I could barely finish the tacos due to the overwhelming amount of salt and lack of overall flavor. I apologize for my honesty but would most definitely try the rest of your vegan menu the next time I pass through the area because I’m sure they’re wonderfully delicious! The staff was handsomely kind and accommodating.

A uniquely styled restaurant with a developed variety of food. Really nice iced tea that compliments the food well. I got the brisket hand held with the rotating cold side, which were both exceptional. We also got the brisket nachos, pork belly ends (a bit salty, but tasty) and feta hand pies. The restaurant has a very nice, modern atmosphere/mood that would seem to have a very cool night life, especially with dart machines and a big stage. Overall a good experience.

Gourmet breakfast. Best biscuits and gravy I've ever had. Biscuits are light and fluffy and made from scratch. Gravy is nice and rich with delicious crumbled sausage and a slight spiciness. The eggs Benedict is great with a homemade hollandaise sauce. The potato cake is just a hash brown patty, but is good. My wife loved the scrambled eggs with cheddar and the sweet potato hash. The bacon tasted good but was so thick and tough that it was difficult to chew. Not a warm ambience as it is a bar, but the staff are great and very friendly.

The Nightshop bar was a good surprise in Downtown, Bloomington, IL. The place is modern, new and offers great food and a good selection of drinks, especially craft beers. The staff was absolutely friendly, prompt and attentive. There was a bartender girl from Spain and she was fantastic. If you like Wings, I recommend the Sweet Chili Wings and you won't regret it. They are delicious and served in a good quantity. Also, if you like dark beers, the number 14 in the list is one you must try. The bar has internal and external area and many darts machines so you can have fun playing it. They also have a karaoke day, so fun. If you are in Bloomington, IL looking for someplace to drink beers and eat something, this is a very good option.

Sorry guys, have to update my review here. My last two visits have been incredibly disappointing compared to my first few visits. Both quality of food and quality in staff is suffering. I believe it appears to be due to high turnover or inconsistent staffing. I am hoping the best for these guys to turn it around and get back to good quality like when they first opened. Please!! Original Review: This incredible gem is oddly eclectic in all of the right ways. It's contemporary vibe mixes a bar with dart boards and live music with incredibly polite staff and BLOOMINGTON's Best Vegan menu! You can't go wrong so throw a dart at the menu and order away. My wife and I will be frequent visitors. Fresh fruit, healthy avacado toast, vegan French toast, it's simply all amazing! Calling all vegans and vegetarians, please come and support!!

Love going there, the owner and the staff are really nice. The service is fast, the food is great! Me and my husband go there for our Weekly date night!
