What User likes about Video Saloon:
One of the best bars in Bloomington. There is pool, darts, good drink deals, and strong drinks. The bartenders are super fun and friendly! The bouncer can seem rude on your first encounter but he's hilarious. There's never cover (even last weekend for homecoming) and it's usually not very crowded. The SweetTart drink is a classic and literally tastes just like the candy. Chill vibes and super fun! View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Video Saloon:
I went here with my family and wanted to try a lowkey new place, but I had met with such unexpected terrible experiences. We sat and didn't see our server 20 minutes later. The food and drinks were one of the worst I had in this city and seemed almost personal. Please, if you want to have a good night, just go to another place. View all feedback.

This place was great 10 years ago, now it's just a lame friat bar. Avoid the cellar bar there, the owner of the Vid bought his legitimate son a bar.

Despite the college crowd, this Bloomington bar offers a fun and welcoming environment. With pool, darts, and great drink deals, it's a hit among locals and visitors alike. The bartenders are friendly and the signature SweetTart drink is a must-try. While some reviews mentioned unprofessional behavior from staff, the majority praised the overall experience. The bouncer may come off as rude at first, but patrons found him entertaining. Overall, this bar stands out as one of the best in the city, offering a laid-back atmosphere and strong drinks.

Amazing service, Sammy was a great bartender. Bouncer was to cautious, he refused my military ID and wanted 3 other forms of identification.

Cool and hip bar, plenty of rooms and activities too. some drinks were $10, though, which is unfortunate.
