Campus Icons Series: Nick's English Hut - Bloomington - Indiana University

We're romantic about a college town. Whether it's Athens, GA, Madison, WI, Ann Arbor, MI, or Lawrence, KS, college towns all have a certain je ne sais quoi. And one of the driver's behind that are the establishments that live only in that town. They are one of one. They're iconic. The Campus Icons series will highlight those places, share their histories, learn about their traditions, and champion their stories. Pull up a barstool and join us!

EPISODE 1: Nick's English Hut - Bloomington - Indiana University

Bloomington is a world-class college town. And any trip to B-Town must start with a stop at Nick's English Hut. Gregg “Rags” Rago’s joint is singular and oozing with character and unquestionably IU. Put simply, it’s iconic. Belly up, play Sink the Biz, get a full-size order of Biz Fries and cheer on the Hoo-Hoo-Hoo-Hoosiers. When we were planning our Campus Icons series, we kknew that Nick’s had to be the leadoff hitter. Gregg walks us through almost 100 years of Nick’s history and shares the stories and traditions that have sewed it into the fabric of IU and Bloomington.

If you find yourself in Bloomington, Nick's needs to be your first stop:
