Inside The Sullivan Club — the bar

A club is only as good as
the people it keeps.

Bloomington has never had anything quite like this.

The Sullivan is a private members’ club in the heart of it all — a home for the people who love this place most, wherever they call home. IU alumni, neighbors, and friends from away, under one roof. Membership opens the suites, the club, the rooftop, and a season worth showing up for — a place to gather, to stay, and to belong, year after year.

The Suites

Eight suites, three ways to stay.

Every suite has a full kitchen, a living area, a private balcony, and furnishings worth settling into — from a quiet one-bedroom for a solo escape to a penthouse made for a full weekend. Full members stay here; a limited number of nights open to guests.

The one-bedroom suite — a warm living room with a bar cabinet, art, and mirrored walls.

One-Bedroom

Just right for a solo visit or a weekend for two — an open living room and kitchen, and an easy way into the club.

The two-bedroom suite — a serene bedroom with an upholstered headboard, deep green walls, and framed art.
ii.

Two-Bedroom

Room for the family or the foursome, with a full living area and bedrooms made for a long, easy weekend.

The penthouse — a light-filled bedroom opening to a private rooftop terrace with skyline views.
iii.

Penthouses

Two top-floor penthouses — a three-bedroom and a two-bedroom — the place to gather everyone for a gameday weekend.

The Fall Season

Where the season comes alive.

A calendar built around game weekends and long evenings — Friday nights in the club, gamedays on the roof, and the occasional dinner worth dressing for. Members and their guests first; a limited number of seats released to the waitlist.

Friday Night Live

The season opens the night before it does. Cocktails, a live set in the club, and the whole room raising a glass to a title defense.

Opening Day on the Roof

First gameday of the year, four floors up — brunch, bloody marys, and the game on every screen as the Hoosiers begin the defense.

The Cellar Dinner

An intimate evening with Henry Love — a five-course tasting menu, each plate poured against a bottle worth lingering over. One long table, twenty seats.

Veuve Clicquot on the Roof
