For many years, Max's Place was known for their unique pizza offerings, good beer, and live music. After closing down on the Square, about 12 years ago, owners Travers Marks and Abel Garcia have revived Max's at the corner of 17th and College with the same great pies and a stage for local performers. Throw in hearty salads plus $7.99 lunch specials and you'll be greatly remiss if you don't go check out this revived Bloomington staple.
