C.O. Jones Fire: East Rock tequila bar temporarily shuttered

By 12 July 2010 No Comments

C.O. Jones, the raunchily-named and much-lauded Mexican eatery/tequila dispensary on State Street, suffered a fire several weeks ago, and is temporarily closed for repairs. The cause of the fire is as yet unknown, but the Bullblog’s Fire Protection analysts have said that New Haven’s high temperatures during last week’s hugely dangerous heat wave may have been enough to put some of CO Jones’ 130 types of tequila past the flash point, and thereby spontaneously combust. The restaurant did not pick up multiple phone calls to confirm the analysts’ suspicions, but a voicemail greeting claimed C.O. Jones will be open again for business in “the second or third week of July.”
