Was Anonym at Upstairs Pub a mag?
LOVE up, easy my favorite bar in Bloom. GREAT offers, great atmosphere, even the food is decent. Beautiful decent beer options, and of course try the AMF. Good luck getting darts didn't have the easiest time to get them. If you are in blossom for the weekend or an IU student, go up! View all feedback.

My visit to the Library located on the upper level was a fantastic experience! The drinks were delightful, and the bartenders were very knowledgeable. It was thrilling to get dressed up and escape the crowded bar upstairs, finding a more relaxed yet elegant atmosphere. This place is a hidden gem for a girls' night out or a romantic date night!

In a place dominated by many college bars, The Upstairs Pub has a bit of a tough time to stand out but it is a solid option for those looking for a place to get together, especially before a basketball game. I greatly appreciate that they check IDs of everybody, including old folks like me. While Nick's is a place where they thrown rotten milk at you (and I say this literally, not figuratively), it is good to have a normal option to go for a drink such as The Upstairs Pub.

Worth it primarily for $2 Tuesdays. The pool table is fun too though! Good place to have a classic bar experience near campus.

Visited the place on a Sunday night with my buddies. The Upstairs Pub has a great ambience and some good music playing. The people working here are super nice and the prices are pretty cheap, great if you're on a college student budget. On Sundays they offer a double up for just a dollar so I'd definitely go here on Sundays. They're working on getting a kitchen setup here according to a staff, and it should be up and running in a couple of weeks so looks like I'll be visiting this place soon!
