Part of the Gay Bloomington Guide — bars, events & things to do.

Bloomington, Indiana
The quieter half of Bloomington's queer nightlife duo — cocktails and events next to The Back Door
Sitting right next door to The Back Door on College Ave, The Atlas Ballroom is the other half of Bloomington's queer nightlife corridor. Where The Back Door brings the energy with drag and dancing, Atlas is the spot for a quieter cocktail and actual conversation — think low lighting, good drinks, and an event space that hosts everything from comedy to live music. The physical proximity means you can easily bounce between the two in a single night, and plenty of people do. It's a natural extension of the scene without trying to be something it's not.
