C3 Bar

I discovered The C3 Bar during the Pandemic in July 2020, 17 months to the day. At that time there was no sitting at the bar and limited seating. It was as fantastic tonight as it was then. I came for the Shrimp and Cheddar Grits but quickly learned they change the menu often and I had just missed them by several weeks but despite my disappointment the menu is still as awesome tonight as it was then!! Please if you ever find yourself in Bloomington this is a must stop for drinks and dinner!! I’ll certainly be back!! Ricky

Friendly, comfortable, not pretentious. Fun menu and really, really good food and cocktails. The burger was amazing and cooked perfectly to order. The Espresso Martini (see pic) had floral tones that brought it to next level delish. Highly recommend. Handicap accessible parking and entrance. Prices really reasonable for the quality of the food and environment.

C3 was great. The company obviously was the best feature, but we were sat outside near the fountain and it was such a tranquil environment to enjoy our food and drinks. No erroneous bill issues. Great prices for an upscale establishment. Dress nicely and expect great service. Although reservations haven't been mandatory, they're highly recommended.

C3 has good food but it is not inexpensive relative to other Bloomington locations with similar caliber fare and atmosphere. Personally a fan of sitting out doors here and unlike places near campus this is quiet with minimal foot traffic. I've yet to identify what I'd deem to be their "signature" dish so to speak but food has always been good albeit ala carte.

Wonderful experience. Sat at the bar with a friend and tried several drinks; all fantastic. The bartenders know their stuff! Enjoyed asking Brian questions about the cocktails and the process. He was great. Food was fantastic. Great atmosphere. Prices weren't ridiculous. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a nice evening out!

Amazing cocktails, truly next level stuff. Probably the most sofisticated cocktail bar in Bloomington. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Decor is comfortable and modern. Dinner is also no slouch. The menu doesn't really have any low points. From soup to nuts, everything is great. The chef specials are easy picks if you aren't sure.

A pleasant dining experience starts with professional and courteous welcome followed by smooth and efficient seating. From there it's all about making the patrons to feel cared and heard. After all, given the pricey menu, a four top could be north of $400 including drinks and desert. C3 fails in all the stages of a pleasant dining experience. More than once, unclear communication detracted from our experience. For us the fourth time was the charm. Needless to say... C3...No more.
