Mona Slips Into Downtown Bloomington With Quiet Vibes And Serious Cocktails
Downtown Bloomington is getting a new spot for low-key nights out as Mona, a cocktail lounge with a menu-first mindset and moody lighting, gears up for its debut. Early interior shots show bartenders carefully staging drinks and plated cocktails before the doors officially open, hinting at a bar that cares as much about the look of a drink as the taste. Muted lighting, upholstered seating and a compact back bar suggest a room designed for crafted cocktails and conversation rather than shoulder-to-shoulder nightlife.

This Indiana Hole-in-the-Wall Restaurant Serves a Cheeseburger So Legendary It Puts Your Favorite Fair Food to Shame
I grew up hearing stories about Miner-Dunn from my parents, and when I finally walked through those doors myself, I understood why this place has been a Highland institution since 1932.
