College Inn [11.5]

"My personal history of the College Inn: Thursday Night Jordan Collier Time, I once went there with a professor and a class, and hearing some old dudes talk about it at Husky football games." - Mike McEvoy





For those who don't know, the College Inn is located on the Ave south of 42nd. The entrance is a tiny door in the back of a building that is next to an unkempt field of prairie grasses. You descend the stairs and you enter into a poorly lit basement. It's not that creepy because this place is technically a bar, they just happen to serve food too. Mike ordered an Italian Grinder which is a stark departure from the fan favorite: the Howard's Special. (Oh college...)





The worker there was confused to say the least when Mike and his eating partner only ordered food and not an adult beverage. They have a few darts boards down there as well. Mike didn't partake but he was glad he had the option. It's an interesting atmosphere, but it was extremely conducive to holding a conversation. Different, but in a good way.

That's about it. It's the College Inn. It's a lot more simple there.
