My favorite restaurant in Bloomington. The Irish Coddle and Blarney Puffballs are standouts. Soda bread is nice too. Just off the main square.

The building is superb, and the drinks are quality - try the Snakebite. Grub is fairly legit - this place got me through Lent many a time.

Oh the memories I have from this place in college! My freshman year I used to walk the half hour in 2 feet of snow from my dorm to the Lion in order to have their lamb stew in a bread bowl. Oh man,...

My boyfriend used to go to the Irish Lion when he was in college in Bloomington and we went while we were in town for the weekend. Sadly, they no longer had the potato soup that he remembered so...

Fun atmosphere and good drinks. One thing to be careful about this place--don't get too wasted. This place is filled with obstacles that could leave a plastered individual with an extra mark on...

Love the atmosphere and the bar. The food is ok, and I'm not much of a beer person, but It has a nice selection of bourbon and whiskey. It (was anyway) an IU hangout, and IU is always rated as one...

Great Irish Bar in downtown Bloomington. My favorites are the Blarney Puffballs and the best hangover pick-me-up ever - Irish Coddle. Also, they have beers by the 1/2 yard and yard. Careful though,...

Blarney puff balls are magical and a perfect snack while having a beer.They also have these beers called yards and 1/2 yards, which are not only fun to drink but also a challenge to finish them! The...

This place looks absolute wonderful inside. They also make some pretty good Irish food. The bartenders here also understand how to mix a good drink too. Try them out!

I like the food here a lot. I like the fish and I don't usually even like fish. It's can be overpriced depending on what you get. The building is groovy to say the least.

This isn't one that can be a regular on the student budget, but it's got great food and an excellent beer selection. There's also a great scotch selection, if you're into that.

If you've never drank beer by the yard or half yard, you have to go to the Irish Lion. But be careful or you'll end up with beer all over yourself. They have great imported beer in these really tall cool...
