The C. I. 32 North Court Street, Athens, OH 45701

"Do not go to this bar. Their staff is violent and rude. I dropped my wallet at the door, and paid the price to get in, but had to step foot outside to get my wallet. The staff would not let me in unless I paid them AGAIN and when I told my boyfriend that clearly they were going to refuse us service though we had just paid, the male at the door said "yeah GO". It's one thing If I had not been inside yet, or that I had not come outside from inside the bar where they clearly charged me, but I paid, they refused service, AND the staff was rude as well. Do not go in this bar. It is cramped and loud. The servers are rude and uncaring. It is not worth dumping money into. What a joke. Hire people that encourage patronage, not actively push them out"

"I have gotten denied from this bar every weekend since I have turned 21 solely because my id is not from Ohio…they do not teach their bouncers about out of state ids at all!"

"We came in the middle of the summer, so no students around, but got to play a game of pool and sip a cocktail. Really fair prices and friendly service. Some evidence that the place gets mistreated by hordes of students during the school, but they clean up well and leave lots of room in the summer."

"Claire the manager is the absolute worse. Makes the bar look like an absolute joke. Pre-covid, the bar was a great establishment. That’s not an excuse though. This girl literally makes the bar a joke of an establishment. I was going to this bar since I was under 21. She was in high school when I was running a muck. Great place, but she did a fantastic job of ruining it. I would recommend any bar but the Ci due to her."

"Well, not horrible, but not great either. Has a couple decent taps, but drink specials are all crappy domestic beer. Cash only, really? Fortunately, I actually had cash on me for once, or it would have been an even shorter visit. Somehow this place made USA Today's top college bar list. Not sure how that makes sense, since there are a half dozen better bars within 2 blocks."
