I will never return to The Vid again. My friends and I went out for my friend and his twins 21st birthday. The doorman (Mike) informed my friend and his twin that their IDs were "clearly fake" and gave them the option to leave with their IDs or try to get in and have to cops called. My friends chose to stay since their IDs were real. We all waited at the entrance for the cops to arrive and stayed there while the officers ran the licenses. Once the cops arrived he was trying to convince the officer that the IDs were fake. He was overall rude about the whole situation. Lo and behold the IDs came back real and me and my friends (about 10 total) all left the establishment. Mike was rude to us during the endeavor and attempting to convince the officers of one thing instead of just letting them do their job. Overall, the poor treatment my friends received from Mike has ensured that I will not be bringing my business to The Vid in the future.

Used to like the Vid years ago, so went back here a few months ago. Some things have definitely changed from the last reviews. Stopped being a cash-only bar for one, and while obviously one experience isnt scientific, seemed to be more a fratty bro crowd these days. However Im not going back. Fellow trans* folks: Heads-up, Mike Shiflet, the usual bouncer, isnt good people when it comes to us. The owner, Michael Black, hasnt represented himself very well either. Ill leave it at that understatement.

This place has really everything you want in a bar. 2 Pool areas with 6 and 2 pool tables, dart area with I think 6 dart boards has a main bar area that has a few booths. Has a dance hang out area. It is pretty cool and laid back college kid hangout. A lot of locals work here and some hang out here too. It has kinda gone main stream over the last few years but is still a cool bar to go to.

Door guy is a pretty rude, which is based on my experience over the course of a couple visits. With that being said, its still a pretty decent place to hang out and have a cold beer after work. If youve never been here, its definitely worth checking out.

Bar staff was attentive and patient while ordering multiple, complicated drink orders. Really liked all the different rooms throughout the bar, and the option to sit, stand, or play bar games. Good music and video screens going. Would come here again.

Great bar downtown that doesnt get super crowded. Theres a great selection of beer and Mike was in a band on MTV! I will give 5 stars when they take a stance against the City of Bloomington banning vaping in public places.

This is not the classiest establishment but its lackluster appearance is made up for by its unique character and charm. This bar is never packed to the brim and you can almost always get a dart boards or pool tables.

$0.50 pool games, lots of tables with quality cues. Weekends it gets a little rowdy and crowded with college kids, but early evening weeknights and weekends its very quiet and theres no wait for a table.

Low key classic town bar. Darts, pool, affordable drinks, not trying too hard to be anything other than what it has always been.

If dancing, frats and fighting arent your thing at the bars check out the Vid. Warning maybe dubbed a bit to hipster for some.

Dive bar gone trendy. Johny Walker Black now costs 9$!!! Just weeks ago it was 7$. Still a decent place to play pool or darts.

Chill place for bar games if you can get there early. Even then its a nice atmosphere away from the common college bar rabble

Great place to play darts or pool! Drinks are reasonable priced. Definitely the less traditional college crowd at this bar.

A different bar with Pool tables and darts. The downside is it gets too crowded and sometimes it is hard to find tables

The vid is a dark and grimy place, where fights always seem just about to happen but never quite do. I like it
