Blues is a great bar in CP. What struck me the most was the excellent music! I've been to a lot of bars all over the country, and I have never come across a place with such sophisticated taste in music. I got to hear, in a single sitting, Brooks and Dunn (country), Tom Petty, Sergio Mendes (Brazilian jazz), Hot Butter (Electronica from the '60s), and even a classical piece or two! The intelligent music really brightened up my mood; such a refreshing change from Bryan Adams! Of course, this was earlier in the evening. At night, to cater to popular tastes, they play more 'mainstream' stuff.
Now to the menu! Drinks *are* a little pricey, but still reasonable by CP standards. There's a great selection of foreign wines and beers for those so inclined. I haven't tried the cocktails, but have heard only good things about them. The food is good too, though a little expensive in my opinion. It's mostly Tex-Mex, with some other contemporary standards thrown in.
In sum, this really is a great place, and fits a variety of occasions! If you haven't already been here, go now!
