The Inside Track with VisitBN: Windjammer Bloomington

Windjammer Lounge in Bloomington is the perfect spot for lunch, dinner, after-work drinks, or a night out with friends. This laid-back local favorite serves up great food, cold drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere.

We had the cheeseburger and fries—so good we didn’t even get a photo! The burger was juicy, the fries were crispy, perfect combo!

Summertime is a must at Windjammer! The outdoor seating is perfect for relaxing, and the sand volleyball courts bring the energy. Whether you’re grabbing a meal or joining a game, it’s the ultimate warm-weather hangout.

Pro tip: Get there early—this place fills up fast! 🎯
