Poindexter
Poindexter is a hybrid speakeasy where daytime coffee culture elegantly transforms into evening cocktail sophistication, offering a unique space where morning professionals and evening revelers converge in casual elegance. Tucked inside the Graduate Bloomington hotel near the Indiana University campus, this bar celebrates the intersection of café culture and craft cocktails, with quirky charm visible in its extensive cookie jar collection and welcoming atmosphere that defies traditional speakeasy formality.
