The Irish Lion - Bloomington

The food and atmosphere are excellent! Be sure to try the Blarney Puffballs!

The restaurant has a great old-school vibe, and we were seated in an elevated section on the main floor, which offered a charming view. There seemed to be several other levels throughout the venue. While the food was enjoyable, it didn't quite stand out. Unfortunately, the soda bread was a letdown.

I absolutely adore this restaurant! The food and drinks consistently impress, the staff is both friendly and knowledgeable, and the ambiance of the building is stunning. On our most recent visit, which was a chilly, rainy Saturday, I enjoyed a spicy cup of mulled wine alongside the best potato and leek soup I've ever had. Our waiter paid close attention to my husband and niece's drink preferences and made excellent recommendations for whiskey and cider. It was a fantastic experience, and we will definitely be back the next time we're in the area!

Usually get the eggs benedict which is wonderful and plentiful. Easter I got the seafood crepes, also very tasty and great portion.

Amazing meal yesterday... friendly service from beginning to end... lol my only complaint... clearly I'm not ready for an actual Irish coffee...bit strong ... Blarney balls and whiskey pie soooo good!!! Can't wait to eat there again in a few weeks
