    In addition to being a Bloomington institution, Uptown is the best restaurant and bar in the town's heart. The signature dishes are all good, the service friendly and attentive. Big thumbs up.

    A family business located in the heart of an Indiana college town, Uptown prepares food with a Creole flare and features soccer for local Hoosiers and transient college students.

    Brunch is amazing. Especially the biscuits and gravy! The bar addition means more seating now too.
