When you host a special occasion at FARMbloomington, you take advantage of our ability to create a distinctive and memorable event.

The menu he will create for your event will reflect your personal taste and his outstanding culinary expertise.

May we also suggest it as a place to entertain clients, show a good time to out-of-town guests, or toast a special occasion. FARMbar is where Bloomington gathers!

The Silo Table - Seating – 6 people
We must be truthful, this is the most popular table in Bloomington! Secluded from the main dining room, but still with a view of the action, the Silo features a prime view of the kitchen. The Silo is a remarkable location for any intimate dining occasion.

The Oddfellows Table - Seating – 8 to 10 guests
FARMbloomington once housed the Oddfellows organization, so this table is a fitting historical tribute. Partitioned from the Main Dining Room with antique quilts, this semi-private space with a large antique farm table permits the ambience of the restaurant to quietly drift into the space without disturbing your event. There are even Oddfellow ceremonial masks displayed on the wall. Whether you want a business conversation or a celebration among friends, keep in mind the Oddfellows Table.

Quiet Room - Seating – Up to 45 people
A warm, inviting atmosphere that celebrates Hoosier farm heritage. Suitable for small or large gatherings, our private dining room displays antique farm implements from the Orr family farm. Whether for business or pleasure, the Quiet Room allows for an unparalleled, intimate dining experience.
