Our Favorite Places
The Video Saloon (aka The Vid)
This bar was the location of our first date! Say hi to Mike, the bouncer, for us. Pictured: The first photo of Allison & Brandon as a couple, taken at the Vid fall 2019
The Root Cellar Lounge
One of the couple's favorite bars in Bloomington. Order a Cheap Sunglasses and sit on the red couch! Pictured: Allison & Brandon's first time back in Bloomington since graduation. For a brief period after COVID, we weren't sure if the Root Cellar would remain open, and we're so happy it did!
Dagwoods Deli Sub Shop
Brandon worked his way from delivery driver to manager at Dagwoods from sophomore to senior year, and met our officiant, Ryan, through working together! His go-to order was the Dagwood Supreme, while Allison loves the Italian. Pictured: the last sub Brandon made for Allison during his career as a sandwich artist
Soma Coffeehouse and Juice Bar
Allison & Brandon are coffee-crazy, and would never steer you wrong on the best coffee shop in town! Allison loves an iced latte with oat milk while Brandon prefers a cortado. Pictured: latte art during a study session taken by Allison her freshman year at IU
Mother Bear's Pizza Campus
You can't go wrong with Mother Bear's! Brandon loves cheese pizza, and Allison loves sausage. See if you can spot our names written on the wall, and add yours! Pictured: Allison & Brandon having dinner at Mother Bear's senior year
