This is a simple college bar with affordable drinks and bar games. It can get busy, so arrive early. A standout was the coconut porter; I did find the cocktails to be slightly overpriced and wouldn’t recommend anything too complex. Enjoy friends and beer in all it’s glorious simplicity.

Didn't try any food, but went there with a group of buddies for some drinks. Old school basement pub with some pool tables and tons of seating. Loved the atmosphere and the employees were friendly. If I still lived in Seattle, this is where I'd choose to go for a drink.

A casual pub with very good beer options without being overwhelming. There are usually about 15 tap options. The food menu is good, but fairly limited, mostly sandwiches, chili, and bar snacks.
The staff has always been friendly and attentive. It's often bustling with students when the UW is in session, and quiet when it's not.

Could not be more pleased with our service!! I didn’t catch the bartenders name (i believe he may have been the owner) but SUPER friendly and kind! Amazing customer service and highly recommend checking out this pub! Student or not, show this place some love because they deserve it!!!!

A great place for locals and visitors alike. Also, check out their website for information about how some regulars saved this iconic pub from the effects of the pandemic. A true feel good story.

Love everything that College Inn has to offer. If you are of legal age and a student attending UW, the College Inn Pub is a must stop place to visit and to have fun. Almost everyone who been to UW have been to this bar, so come check them out! Great History, great people, great place to be! Don't miss out:)

Been coming here almost weekly for about 8 years to spend time with my brother. Great staff, great prices, and amazing vibe. Can’t recommend this place enough!

New owners. Great, former regulars. Get down here and support a historic and wonderful part of "old Seattle" that is updated, but has all of the great traits that made me love it years ago.

We had an after party with about 40 guests at the College Inn Pub in July. We cannot say enough good things about this place! The owner, Jen, and manager, Dan, were so accommodating and easy to work with. They set aside time to talk with us one-on-one before the event to make sure we had the best experience possible. They made us feel very special on our big day and all our guests loved the place. Hopefully we have converted some of them into regulars! 10/10 would recommend this place for a great intimate and laid-back vibe in the summer.

I went here and first.. this is not a juice bar. They don't advertise they are, but i was already upset. Then they refused my demand that they go next door and buy me juice because they were "busy".
Finally after screaming for 20 minutes, they asked me to leave 'politely'. So I just yelled at people in the parking lot for an hour.
The owner was highly responsive and made my night better.

Anyone who rated this place low honestly is just a bit stuck up. Best place in the area to hang out and chill. Everyone is super sweet the drinks are reasonable the food is good. There’s two pool tables there’s two dartboards and lots of space. My friends and I walked in on New Year’s Eve one minute before midnight and the owners were so sweet and handed out champagne for everyone. Flowers after 9pm has turned into a lame imitation of a club for desperate college kids with no chill. This is the spot.

Fun tucked away bar. The service was pretty good and the atmosphere was great for conversation and watching a game.
Taylor Wang
We come here all the time, love this place! Grate game options, in addition to tap list and cocktail menu. The trivia is always fun too, really can't go wrong.

Great vintage brick basement atmosphere, with cheap pool tables and darts (50¢ to play). The drinks are a little steep but that's true for every bar in this area, and the happy hour deals help make up for it.
Saurabh Kadam
Absolutely love the place. Certainly more suitable for grad students.
Pool and dart are free.
Great place to grab a few beers and get some work done.

Was by far the best bar on the Ave when I was a student, went back today and it hasn't changed a bit.

A little grubby, but the staff is friendly and it’s a comfortable place to drink a beer with friends.
Vivian K
Definitely my favorite place near UW to get a drink. They have a great seasonal drink menu, as well as pinball, darts, and pool tables. It's low-key in comparison to some of the bars nearby, which only adds to it's charm.

Recently reopened with new owners, but they have been faithful to the original. In fact, for those of you who frequented it back in the day (which for me was late 80s and early 90s) you probably won't notice anything different. That underground tavern feel with good beer and bar food. Still has darts. And still has that grimy old condom machine in the men's room, presumably for decoration only, as its label warns you that anything coming out of it is not to be trusted.

Great Place. Try the pastrami grinder and the pub nachos (half off on Mondays last time I checked). Reminds me of Cheers, where everyone knows your name.

The Pub!. A bar with Jimmy Silva and the Young Fresh Fellows on the jukebox can't be wrong.
