Things To Do
The Proving Ground Bouldering Gym
Want to try bouldering or just get in a fun workout? Try out TPG! We usually go at least twice a week. We recommend filling out the waiver online before you go. Don't worry, they will take you through an orientation :)
X-Golf Bloomington
Brock spends a lot of time here. Cool place to hit some balls, especially if the weather isn't great.
The Westside Blono
This used to just be called "BloNo Pizza Co" but has expanded to include way more than just pizza. This is off-brand Top Golf, but they also have duckpin bowling, BBQ, and a whiskey bar. We recommend reserving a patio bay to play some golf games, eat pizza, and have a drink.
Uptown Normal
Uptown has some great shops to browse along with delicious restaurants and bars. If you are bringing your kids, The Children's Museum is on the circle in uptown and would be a really fun stop! Take a stroll and our guess is that your only complaint will be the college kids (haha).
The Mystic Kitchen & Tasting Room
We love Mystic. Small menu, big flavor. Great cocktails. Cool vibes.
Wok to Bowl
Wok to Bowl is basically a staple for us after climbing. Stasi's favorite is the chicken tikka masala (medium spice). Brock likes to do different combinations of the fried rice bowl.
Keg Grove Brewing Company
Small brewery right on the Constitution Trail. They have board games you can play and sometimes have a food truck. It's about a 30-minute walk along the trail between Keg Grove and Uptown.
DESTIHL Brewery and Beer Hall
The beer hall is a more casual place to hang out and have a beer. If you'd like something a little classier (and more drink options than just beer), try the restaurant. Both have great food.
Lil Beaver Brewery
Lil Beaver is a fun spot for a casual bite. They have a nice patio, and they usually have some sort of seasonal feature going on.
