The Fairfax Inn and Market

The Fairfax Inn has been a tradition since 1986 and is proud to be one of the oldest restaurants by Lake Monroe. Our food is unpretentious, fresh, simply prepared and great tasting.


This family-owned establishment is located on South Fairfax Road on the way to Four Winds in Bloomington, Indiana, cozily nestled by the entrance to Fairfax State Recreation Area, an easy drive from anywhere in town. The casual interior with warm cedar walls, many local artifacts and flat screen TV's give you a nice warm feeling.


You'll want to try the Catfish Special that is available on Sundays, as well as our other specials we have daily through the week. This is the perfect place to be on a pleasant evening, while enjoying the gentle breeze near Lake Monroe.
