Video Saloon

It's a large space with a variety of bar games to keep you entertained. Drink prices are standard.

I like coming here with a solid group. The local crowd can be a little sketch but you're okay if you're surrounded by your friends.

Tons of games to play upstairs with cheap beers.  If my friends and I want to play pool this is where we'd go.  Definitely a "hip" crowd here too.  Its a place to stop in for an hour during a bar crawl.

I had heard this was a Bloomington institution, but for years I never went in.  From the outside, it looks like some dirty biker bar that a guy like me would never enter.   However, that was before I found Yelp and read the reviews.    After reading a couple, the Vid seemed like the perfect joint for me.   Rock music (no Katy Perry!), cheap draft beer, no frat guys (for the most part) with their collars popped, and best of all, dart boards (real bristle boards, not electronic).   So I packed up my darts and headed for the unassuming door, walked upstairs and found exactly what I was looking for.

I highly recommend the Vid if you just want a chill place to have a brew and avoid "the scene" crowd.
