The Back Door

This place is incredible! I stopped in on karaoke night and what a blast. The crowd was very mixed and everyone was having a great time. Some singing, some dancing, some canoodling out on the patio. It is great that bloomington finally has a refuge from all the the "brew bro" bars that seem to be proliferating.

The Back Door is a gay bar that is brilliantly named on several different levels. We were in Bloomington for the Limestone Comedy Festival and one of the official after parties was hosted by The Back Door. I had a pretty good time here, even though I'm not a gay boy. There were tons of people there dancing, taking over the back balcony, and sitting everywhere you could imagine. The bar has a weird thing going on for it in that they weren't serving liquor shots, only sake shots. I'm not sure if that's all the time or just for this particular night. They had a decent selection of beers, but nothing out of the ordinary. There is a huge, spacious dance floor with lights and music and people seemed to enjoy it. The outdoor patio is massive and can hold many, many people. We partied with Doug Benson and several other comics while we were here and that made the entire experience even better. I'm not sure if I'd ever come here by myself as I'd feel somewhat out of place, but it was a fun time nonetheless.

A FABULOUS GAY BAR IN BLOOMINGTON!!! WHOOP! This place is wonderful! Hip, welcoming to ALL, great music....the list goes on.  It is so great to have such a fun and easy going place to hang out and get your dance on if the spirit moves you!
