Every time I visit my family from out of state I have to make a stop at the CI bar. It's not much to look at from the exterior-nor the interior for that matter-but it's a great place for a cold beer, generously liquored cocktails, and what I would say is better than average bar food. I highly recommend their salads (especially the fajita salad-beware that it is a ton food!)
I consider all of these to be ""bonuses"" to the biggest draw that this place has for me: the live music on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. It isn't the kind of music that I normally listen to (I'm 25, and admittedly not a huge audiophile) but the talent of the musicians at the CI lends timelessness and the possibility for cross-generational enjoyment and extreme entertainment.
