selected highlights

CHAMPAIGN – A Campustown bar closed since May will try to reopen this weekend for the first time under a new entry-age restriction.

C.O. Daniels, 608 E. Daniel St., is shooting for a Saturday-night reopening, bar owner John Phillips said Wednesday.Patrons under the age of 21 will not be allowed to enter.

What's the easiest way to prevent underage drinking in your bar? Don't allow underage people in there.

Phillips said there will be few changes to the bar other than a new machine that checks identification at entry, which he said is required by the city.

The bar will be open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, Phillips said.

C.O. Daniels is not a bar I've been to, and doubt I'll go there anyway. C. O. Daniels is located at 608 East Daniel Street in Champaign.
