Beyond the Library: Bloomington's Restaurant Scene

Despite Bloomington's relatively small size and its distance from major metropolitan centers, the food scene is surprisingly robust.  Bloomington has a plethora of local eateries to choose from, ranging from standard American fare to specialties from across much of the globe.  The main thoroughfare off-campus, Kirkwood Avenue, offers dozens of options, ranging from pub food to gourmet sit-down locations.  A trip down Fourth Street reveals restaurants offering authentic dishes from Europe, Asia, and Southeast Asia.  If a trip to a local brewery is of interest, the Upland Brewery is for you.  Mother Bear's Pizza, on East 3rd Street, is a traditional stop for any IU student (voted "best pizza in Indiana by USA Today).  The Indiana Memorial Union offers several restaurants and cafeteria options.  The Herman B Wells Library, our conference location, offers the Cyber Cafe (basement level), also with restaurant and cafeteria options.  No matter your tastes, Bloomington is sure to please.

Bloomington's restaurants differ in cuisine, atmosphere, and price. The conference committee created a map indicating a handful of local favorites, but feel free to explore on your own.  You may also want to visit the Bloomington Tourism Restaurant Site for more information and tips.
