Downtown Bloomington Indiana - Eat, Shop, Stay and Invest in the heart of the Midwest

Downtown Bloomington is a city of true originals. It's that independent spirit and sense of adventure that attracts so many local restauranteurs, shop owners, gallery owners, innkeepers and artists to our area. When people in Bloomington ask, "where do you want to eat?", the answer could be anything from Tibetan to Greek to Indian to Italian, with multiple choices of each. And when it's time to satisfy that shopping urge, downtown Bloomington is a place like no other. One-of-a-kind gifts, many created by local artists, are available in abundance. Much of what you'll find in our downtown shops you won't find anywhere else.

Downtown is a mix of sophistication and comfort—Bloomington is a come-as-you-are place, and the shops and restaurants and galleries and hotels downtown reflect that. There's never a jacket required, but you're welcome if you're wearing one.
