I love this bar so much, I don't even know where to start with this review. My friends and I have been coming here regularly (1+ times a week) for the last couple of years. We've spent so much time here, sometimes I feel like it's my second home. I feel so connected to this place--we've had so many laughs, cries, good times, and serious times here. It's so nice to just go hide away in a booth for a few hours with your friends and some good food/drink. The music is always changing, depending on the bartender and mood I'm assuming, but it always hits the spot.The bartenders and other staff are amazing. We mostly see Gabe and Barrett and we love these guys. They have great personalities, great jokes, and provide especially great service.
Alright, enough of this sappy stuff and on to the menu. The Pub Nachos are my absolute favorite. Hands down, these are the best nachos I have ever had. They're drenched in the works and I mean it. It's hard to come by nachos that aren't dry. I'm pretty sure every chip on this nacho plate is topped with something tasty. Also, did I mention that these nachos are only $4.50 all day Monday, and $4.50 EVERYDAY at lunch. $4.50!!!!! The Plain ol' Nachos are pretty good too if you're not into all the chili, but personally I love the chili. I've tried the Vegetarian and Spicy Turkey grinders, chili bowl with rice, and caesar salad. I've never had something here that has disappointed me. They have a great rotating beer selection which changes frequently, as well as some year-round staples. Lately I've been drinking a wine spritzer kind of drink recommended by the bartender, which has been especially refreshing.
I don't know what my life would be like if I didn't discover this bar, but it would probably be pretty lame. My best friend even threw me a birthday party here this year--there's a room in the back you can reserve for a group! Since my friends and I frequent this place during the lunch hour when it's not very busy, I thought this was a hidden gem, but it gets pretty packed in the evenings (from what I've seen). Selfishly, I would have loved for this to stay a hidden gem, but it makes me happy to know that this bar is doing well--they deserve it! I hope the College Inn Pub never closes so I can continue coming here for the rest of my life.
