Bloomington, Indiana
Bloomington's 1927 sports bar — where Indiana's Gay Liberation Front held early protests
Nick's has been a Bloomington institution since 1927, and its place in local LGBTQ+ history runs deeper than most people realize. In 1971, the Gay Liberation Front held one of Indiana's earliest public protests here, and the bar has remained a welcoming space ever since. Today it's a classic college sports bar on Kirkwood — cheap pitchers, Sink the Biz in the back room, and a crowd that skews heavily IU but mixes in townies and grad students. It's not a gay bar by any stretch, but it's the kind of comfortable, unpretentious dive where everyone ends up at some point during a night out in Bloomington.
