Did you know that Cardinal Spirits doesn’t just make great alcohol? Cardinal Spirits is a restaurant located on a fabulous little neighborhood street just north of Bloomington‘s Switchyard park bridge. Driving down this tiny little street you’ll see adorable multicolored homes to your east and to the west situated on a hill you will see the Cardinal Spirits restaurant. They have a small parking lot just south of the restaurant. Inside you will find a tiny area containing Cardinal Spirits gifts. These are perfect for your drink local fans. We sat on the deck out front for our date night. We walked in and were able to get the last available table on the patio. There are only a handful of tables including the seating inside so be sure to make a reservation. On this night we were told we got lucky. The host was charming, our server was delightful and knowledgeable. We were greeted by the manager at our table thanking us for visiting their restaurant. The menu items were absolutely delicious and the drinks were superb. Cardinal spirits also hosts group tours of the distillery and would be the perfect place for your wedding party or office event. Since our visit, we have become huge fans of the Cardinal Spirits brand and drink selections. Put this on your must-do list when visiting B-town!

I recently went to Cardinal to enjoy dinner and drinks as an early celebration to the weekend. The atmosphere was quiet and undisturbed. Our server Alex provided us exceptional service that was frequent and timely but not bothersome. The appetizer was good and reasonably portioned, the entries were rich in flavor and cooked to order. Overall probably the best combination of both food and service I have received over the past 10 years in Bloomington!

A real treasure in Bloomington! Some of the most unique cocktails I've seen and tasted. They really put a lot of thought and care into their craft and come up with unique flavors. I love that they source a lot of their ingredients locally. Jeff is a charismatic and wonderful host and gave a great tour of the distillery. I look forward to going back again. Do yourself a favor and check this place out!

Hospitality at its best! Our server Alex was incredibly thoughtful, polite and attentive. They even have complimentary doggie treat bags, and serve kids water in Mule mugs (bonus points for the little umbrellas). The menu was progressive the cocktails were tasty and beautiful and the patio overlooking the B Line was relaxing. Must try next time you are in Bloomington!

Would not recommend attending the VIP Distillery tour. Spent almost $100 for two tickets and it did not feel worth it at all. The tour guide was not very engaging and awkwardly threw around some terminology while pointing out some of the equipment for 10 minutes before switching to a tasting of their alcohol. The best part of the tour was that we did get to try all of their different types of liquor. However, the “cocktail class” consisted of the tour guide mixing their coffee liqueur with ice and serving it as well as a rum daquiri that was just a mix of rum, lime juice, and simple syrup. The tour also advertises that it includes a bottle of spirits. My partner and I were not given an guidelines so we chose the four grain whiskey - however that apparently is not included in the deal and we were only given a $5 discount on a $60 bottle of whiskey. Kind of ridiculous considering you can get a $40 bottle of gin for free with the tour. I was not impressed at all and will not be recommending this place to anyone.
