Here at Graduate, we believe life is a timeless journey filled with memory-making stops, extraordinary rites of passage and all the courageous leaps of faith that get you where you’re going. Welcome to Graduate Bloomington—where your intellectual curiosity meets your favorite place to stay.

The puzzling major (enigmatolgy for the win?) and checkered past of IU alum Will Shortz, has influenced our crossword-clad floors. The vintage bleachers, over stuffed sofas and court-long tables, play host to a whole lotta hanging out with a warm convo on tap.
