Diggers

If I could, I'd give this bar more than five stars!  BEST bar in Bloomington BY FAR.  Last local dive bar.  My favorite, and now that I moved, one of the only bars I'll return to.

Went to ISU for 4 years, lived in the area a lil longer.  Here's a few reasons whyyyy Diggers, Again! rocks!!!

1.  3.00 frosted mugs every single day of the week.  Please and thank you.
2.  Best group of regulars you'll ever come across.  They become your family quick.
3.  Jukebox available so you can put some money in and listen to what YOU want to.
4.  No liquor over 5.00.  End.of.story.
5.  Free ping pong in the back.
6. .50 darts.
7.  Peg, the owner, is the sweetest thing ever.  
8.  The bartenders care that you're having a good time.
9.  Frat boys usually don't fit in (thumbs up to that!)
10. Live music often...both local newbs and more well known bands!

I really don't think that I should be the first one to review this place because I acknowledge that it is totally not my scene. At least, not yet...
My group stopped here on a bar crawl once and within a few minutes, we had a new rule: once the first person in the group finishes their drink, (s)he can either get another or make everyone else finish theirs and leave within 5 minutes. I think that's a great rule and, as a result of that rule, I only spent about 10 minutes in here.
All signs point to this being a local spot. I hope that someone who knows this place better will write a review because I admit that mine is based off of very limited experience. Although at least now people will find it on Yelp!
