A Bloomington Tradition Since 1982
Cead Mile Fáilte
A True Public House Experience
Since 1882 | 1982
Located in the heart of downtown Bloomington, 1/2 block west of the square. The locally owned Irish Lion Restaurant & Pub offers a true taste of Ireland. Where friends & family gather to dine on traditional Irish spirits & fare — seafood, steaks, lamb, Dublin pub stews, and pub grub.
A restored historic 1882 vintage brick tavern, with cast iron columns, stained glass windows, an original Brunswick back bar, Civil War vintage front bar, 1900's mahogany & 1915 oak back bars, it will be sure to remind you of the Victorian pubs in the old country.
For the whisk{e}y connoisseur, an extensive collection of single malt scotch whiskies, Irish whiskeys, and American Rye & Bourbons. Full bar, classic & 1800s cocktails, wine list, and pouring the finest Irish & European imports on draught. Sláinte (cheers)!
