The CC Club is a popular grunge hangout where everyone feels comfortable. The crowd is usually pretty tattooed, pierced, and plays the best rock and indie rock out of the jukebox. They pour a pretty stiff drink here, but stick to beer if it’s not on special (cocktails cost $5 and are pretty small, even if they are strong). The daytime crowd is older while the night time crowd is below 30. They always have rotating specials and offer a decent selection of beers. Old school design and red pleather booths seat a chill crowd (but sometimes tough) drinking at cheap prices. The CC Club has a large following of regulars because of this.

The food here is actually really good for bar food, great nachos, huge portions, and excellent burgers (buy 1, get 1 1/2 off during the week) with their breads coming from French Meadow next door. Highly recommended when on a budget.

The CC Club used to be the smokiest venue in the city, but now they are more noted as having one of the nicest smokers' patios. Great outdoor balcony with heated and protected tables good all year round!

THRIFTY TIP- Hey, some type of pitcher is never more than $7 before 12am, what more could you want?

Weekend Breakfast (10am-2pm): $7.50 Steak, Eggs, Toast, Bloody Mary

This place was better when it was smoky, and the suburbanites (and yes, you too mr. pierced and tattooed art major - as if that would matter) were nowhere in sight. When punks and skins filled the booths, and meatheads lived in fear. But the money do drive the bar, so Moe and Sharon do what they have to to keep stiffing their employees out of health insurance, who strangely continue to love them. I continue to visit the CC. If only because I'm sure to run into an old friend from time to time...that is if they haven't been 86'd for offending Moe's delicate sensibilities. And hell, its better than the gentrified shitholes that have infested the neighborhood in late years...Bring Back the Red Dragon's Door!

Love the CC! Mostly everyone there rocks, except some of the ID checkers who are 22 and think they are the shit cause they ride bikes.Bree is a BITCH. But other than that it's awesome! Beside the T Rock they have the best jukebox. PS-ASK THEM TO TURN THE JUKEBOX UP AND THEY WILL!

Really good food. Good jukebox. Prepare to get looked down upon unless you have permanantly disfigured yourself so that you look cool.

NOTE TO PATRONS: stop playing "Alex Chilton" every 15 minutes. I know, I know, Westerberg, here comes a regular, history, whatever. But seriously, I hate you all.
