The Eastside Blono

We have enjoyed crafted since it opened. The owner Joey is amazing to work with and the drinks are really good. The low star for service is due to the attitudes of the managers for events, my first two events were in 2024. The manager on site for our paid event was rude, they double booked and at the time of event no apologize and pushed our party mid reservation to move in the next event, as not happy and i paid for this time. The other 2024 event the manager onsite again was rude, the same occurred again at an event in 2025 same issue, owners are polite but not onsite for events. The managers are not polite. Would not recommend for an event after the service we received.

What a hidden gem we have in here in Bloomington. The atmosphere is light and fun and the food is amazing. Chef Dana’s menu is simple yet delicious and will satisfy any craving you may have. The Chicken Caesar wrap is to die for.

Everyone was attentive, friendly, and I was greeted when I came in! Dana made a phenomenal triple grilled cheese with prosciutto and tomato! I was in toasty cheese heaven. Def make this a stop for a great bite to eat!

I enjoy the heat Wave watermelon cider. Nice little light to a hard hard cider.

The owner is awesome and so is the rest of the staff. Really cool venue from morning till night. Outside is awesome with a huge patio and two beach volleyball courts. Great local spot!
