New Years Eve in Bloomington

My friend and I are looking for something fun to do for New Years Eve in Bloomington. Any ideas?

New Years Eve in Bloomington

Did anyone ever respond to you? My husband and I are looking to do the same. We have a camper parked near Moore%26#39;s Creek on Lake Monroe and were thinking about doing New Years in Bloomington and I%26#39;ve searched the internet for Bloomington, IN New Year%26#39;s Eve events and can%26#39;t find a thing.

New Years Eve in Bloomington

REAL briefly

Bloomington is not that large of a town and doesn%26#39;t have any huge, major, public events for New Year%26#39;s Eve. That said, many of the local bars, clubs, restaurants, etc. have things scheduled.

The local paper (The Herald Times) today (12/21) has a listing in its ';Your Weekend'; section naming many of these (including some nearby towns and even a few in Indianapolis).

Here%26#39;s the briefest of recaps of this article (mainly naming the venue %26amp; event, no details or costs included); forgive me if I left anything out:

Arthur Murray - groups class %26amp; party;

American Legion - Terry Lee %26amp; The Rockaboogie Band

Classic Bowling - Bowl for a Buck

Cardinal Stage Company - Matinee performance of Oliver! followed by family celebration (this is at the Buskirk Chumley Theater)

Indian Memorial Union - ';Reading Writing %26amp; Rhythm'; Fundraiser w/The Dynamics and a jazz combo

Bear%26#39;s Place - Stand up comedy

Bluebird - Blackwater Surprise (Autovaughn opening act)

Player%26#39;s Pub - Kookamongas, Brookshire Brothers %26amp; Hambone Blues Band

Uncle Fester%26#39;s - DJ Wushu

Jake%26#39;s - Retro Dance Party

tutto bene - Wine tasting/Jazz Quartet ';Dance Floor in the Round';

Jazz at the Station - Monika Herzig (sic)

Eagle Pointe Golf Resort - Big Band/Swing w/The Stardusters

Rhino%26#39;s - The Few, A Moment%26#39;s Affair %26amp; Concordia

Office Lounge - Karaoke

Crazy Horse - The Benders

Kilroy%26#39;s Sports Bar - Insight Bowl %26amp; then DJs

Cabin Lounge - The Wrexx Band

As I said they also list a few events in the surrounding area: Cities include: Bedford, Ellettsville, Nashville, French Lick/West Baden, Indianapolis, Needmore %26amp; Spencer.

Without knowing your tastes, can%26#39;t say what I would recommend. I can, however, say that if I were going out I%26#39;d lean towards Player%26#39;s Pub, Bear%26#39;s Place or tutto bene as my first choice.

On the other hand, The Cabin is closest to Lake Monroe and it might even be quicker/easier to drop down to Bedford or Needmore. If driving is not an issue, I%26#39;d be tempted to look at the stuff in French Lick/West Baden (which you should check out regardless, the West Baden Hotel renovation is superb).

Hope this is helpful, I should be able to check this forum again before New Year%26#39;s Eve so if if you give more information as to your likes/dislikes I might be able to help you out more.
