City Beat

What a cute little bar!  We actually found this bar hiding under the interstate one night while driving home from who knows where.  I was on the interstate and all of a sudden I saw some neon beer signs down below.  I did the responsible thing and took the next exit and circled back to figure out what it was.  That little drive is actually the last time Jen pitched the idea of the Phonebook Tour to me before I finally gave in.  Anyway, back to reality, on to the bar!  This place is just is stones throw from the downtown, in a really random place, but it is pretty nice inside. It obviously flooded in 2008 with the rest of downtown, so everything is pretty new inside.  We were there on a Monday night, so it wasn't that busy, but the bartender warmed up to us real nicely and was telling us about their live music on the weekends.  I could tell that they don't get a lot of stragglers during the week, mostly just locals, but I bet the place fills up a little more on the weekends.  Overall I would say this place is nice, but there isn't a huge draw to pull me in unless there was an entertaining playing that I wanted to see.  If I lived close I would probably pick this as my chill hangout spot.  They have food too, but since I forgot to write this entry until like a week or more from when we went there, I don't remember what they serve...sorry.
