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

Bloomington, Indiana
Low-key craft beer and live music on Walnut, with a welcoming alternative crowd
If you want craft beer and live music without the college-bar chaos, The Bishop is your spot. Tucked on Walnut Street downtown, it pulls in a slightly older, more alternative crowd and keeps things low-key — no cover, good tap list, and a stage that books everything from indie rock to experimental acts. The vibe skews artsy and inclusive without making a big deal about it, which is exactly the energy that makes Bloomington's bar scene work for everyone. Open seven days a week and never feels like it's trying too hard.
