The College Inn Pub is my favorite place to go on Friday afternoons. My boyfriend and I usually order a pitcher of beer and an order of nachos--nachos which, by the way, are the best in the University District. In short, the nachos are unbelievably delicious. The bartenders are very friendly, the service is quick (when you don't have to wait in line on busy nights), and the atmosphere can't be beat. The place can get busy on the usual college drinking nights, but the crowd is largely jovial rather than annoying.
If anything, you must go for the nachos. And the rotating taps of microbrews, which are often really good choices.
Pros: Good food, low-priced daily drink specials, good happy hour
Cons: Can get busy during nights
