TheWatShot Posted December 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 Dairy Queen strikes again. Went to the drive thru last night to order 3 items. I read off item #1. Pause. I read item #2. "What was the first thing again?" I repeat item #1, pause, repeat item #2, pause, read item #3. I hear the employee asking someone for help, followed by "so, you want such and such?" To which I said no, and read my whole order a third time. About 10 seconds go by, and I add "that's all." Another 10 seconds go by. I said, "Are you there?" Nothing. So I pull ahead to the pickup window. They got all 3 things wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUfaninIllinois Posted December 26, 2022 Report Share Posted December 26, 2022 So I’m very stoked! For Christmas my wife got me two tickets to IU vs Illinois even though she can’t go so a buddy of mine is going with me. This will be only my 3rd time ever going. We will come to town Friday night. I have the following questions…. 1.) Where is the top 3 places to get food? 2.) Also where is best place to go after dinner for best atmosphere? We are in our high 30s/early 40s. 3.) where is best place to get breakfast? 4.) where is best place to go before the game? 5.) what time do gates open? 6.) where is best place to park to not walk far but also get out fast after the game? 7.) does anyone have connections for a parking pass that I can buy? Thanks for reading my long post and answering all of my questions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Zagrebs.. idk your budget, it isn't cheap, but its very good.... obviously Mother Bears is good too. .... ummm.. mexican restaurant by the mall is damn good. 2. The upstairs is fun. My wife and I are relatively close to your age rangeand we enjoy it.. but what exactly are you looking for? Nick's is fun. Alley Bar is cool. Irish Lion and Crazy Horse right there by the Alley Bar Is is my favorite Btown bar, though.... Video Saloon. 3. Uptown Cafe. I will have to defer to others on other options. 4. Before the game? Most places I named in #2... plus Kilroys, plus every college kid bar on that street. 5. Not sure. 6. imo... I would would park Gate 11 (off of 46)... its $10.. just a tick of a walk, but you should be able to get out quick too. You'll park behind the Melloncamp Pavillion, over by the baseball fields.

btownqb Posted December 26, 2022 Report Share Posted December 26, 2022 7. There are parking passes available online you can purchase, still. But, imo, if you are wanting to get there semi early anyway... I think Gate 11 is a solid option. Not really that far of a walk, at all. Again, imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always respect and enjoy what you bring to the board and are precious interactions as well. I’d be happy to meet you if you come to town that weekend and I’ll buy you a drink even though I don’t drink anymore. Just shoot me a message anytime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering steaks and pizza, The Avers pizza college mall location has a buffet. I like The Tap, and Big Woods. Crazy Horse is good for food too. There just aren't many dedicated steakhouses in Bloomington that aren't chain restaurants. The best breakfast I would say is Runcible Spoon. Inkwell Bakery and Cafe is a good second option. I can't really help with the rest, I park anywhere there isn't a tow sign, I don't drink anymore and I outgrew the college bar scene awhile ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We started renting a condo out at Eagle Pointe in the fall because even if we were down there for two home weekends...it was cheaper to rent a condo for the month vs 2 night minimum hotel rates, 2x a month at home football weekends. Enjoy your time. Bloomington is one of those places that will never age. Always an awesome place to visit or live. One thing if not in a hurry on Sunday morning to get out of town....Tudor Room at IMU still has a pretty darn good breakfast buffet. I worked there for 3 years during my time at IU. Greatest job I could imagine while at college. Plenty of free food and tips. Edited December 29, 2022 by Seeking6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrflynn03 Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 I've stayed at Candlewood Suites a few times right off second street by the I69 interchange. Never more than $150 a night after fees and taxes. Rooms have a fridge and kitchenette. I know the downtown hotels and others are more expensive but I've never had a hard time finding a non-craphole place for a decent price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
