The hobnob is an old bar that's been there forever, and I thought it was closed and possibly even completely abandoned, but people act like sometimes you see people in there, and I just recently saw an entry on TouchTunes for them. I thought they had closed down before TouchTunes was a thing, so I'm curious, does anyone know anything about them being open again? The bar I'm referring to is at 6th and Maryland close to what used to be Rosie's diner. It's two blocks off of Fulton, and technically, it's right next to Mr. Liquor, because I think it takes up the whole block. That would be the back of it that faces Columbia Street though, and I think there at 6th avenue is where there is or used to be an ice house where you could buy ice. Across the street is a skatepark.

Hey guys, I'm a tourist from Evansville. I'm from Southern Indiana, and I have this folksy friendly energy. I love to socialize, but I don't like to bother people. On top of that, I'm 41 years old, but I love the energy of college kids and younger people. I often go to bars.

I absolutely hate snobbery and any kind of uptightness. I love dive bars, but I like college Hangouts too when they aren't two of their own ass. I'm coming to a concert in August in Bloomington. Where should I hang out. I have to show up a day early, because I'm coming in via train. I would love a bar to go to either in normal or Bloomington, but I don't want to deal with something too uptight where there's a dress code and bottle service, but I also don't want to bother people. Also, something you probably don't deal with in this area, even though I love my dive bars, a lot of them are filled with dinosaurs like me. I'm cool with that, but since I'll be staying in downtown normal, what's closer. It would be nice to check into my Airbnb and just walk somewhere., but of course, if I can't, that's cool too. What's everyone's opinion on all of the local social spots, including the dives and places you normally wouldn't go to. I'm not afraid of those. It's just interesting to know how the local crowd view the place is available.
