Editorial Review for College Inn Pub – by Paul Fontana
The Scene
A staircase descent leads directly to a turret-like bar, which shares a room with a pair of pool tables and a few clusters of motley university sorts--haggled overachievers who can't put aside their notes even while drinking, chess combatants, lonely souls engrossed in "Star Wars" novels and perma-sodden ball-capped dudes. The cozier place to be, though, is in the low-lit back room that features comfortably weathered wooden booths engraved with graffiti that ranges the full spectrum of profundity.
The Draw
A frequently rotating roster of microbrews, complemented by a full bar and decent pub grub (half-price nachos on Monday), offers ample incentive to visit, but it's the sturdy environs and low-key atmosphere that provide the greater comforts here. The charm extends beyond the student body--professors and informed outsiders also make up a sizable chunk of the clientele.

I loved this bar! It has the underground feel of an Irish pub and is relaxing and low key. They have pool tables, darts and glossy wooden tables, it's not too loud and definitely a great place--and safe--place to end up at on your 21 run (or a friend's). I would definitely recommend this location to anyone wanting a relaxing drink after work.
Pros: great atmosphere
Cons: A bit of a walk down the Ave
