History
Began in 1992 after the closing of The Library. Since the demolition of The Tomato and the other buildings east of Cool Beans in 2007, this bar looks very lonely. Before the demolition, there was another room connected to the ground level with a pool table. Now there is a strange step up into a wall. They still have games in the back, however.
Cool Beans is less lonely, now. Student housing is all over the place.
As of 2011, Cool Beans is the last of the original buildings standing on its block. It is a beacon of hope for everyone who hates The Man.
Beanstock
Cool beans hosts a regular "festival" called "beanstock". Get it?
The first Beanstock was in 2008. A bunch of bands play, and people drink and wrestle. The 2011 Beanstock was April 16 at 12:00pm - April 17 at 1:00am.
Bathrooms
