Description

While it's easy to dub this popular neighborhood spot, which has been around for decades, a sports bar, the College Inn attracts a lot of folks who are interested in more than just watching the game.

Brothers in 2010, the place got a bit of a facelift, but without stripping away all of its charm.

2007 | Best Sports Bar for the Non-Sports Fan

The College Inn has great food and drink specials -- Monday is Tank-N-Tacos night, for example, with three tacos and a tank of any Bud or house marg for $4.50. It always has fine chicken wings. Ditto for boisterous crowds of off-duty nurses and working-the-crowd guys. And then it has all those large, flat-screen TVs hanging from the ceiling. So the College Inn looks like a sports bar -- but it doesn't sound like one. You don't hear the play-by-plays, the whistles or the announcers' banter... More »

When purchasing a home, you must consider many points. The location needs to be somewhere you'll feel safe -- and must also have good resale value. When the time comes to sell, it's difficult to cut a deal if your potential buyers are abducted fro... More »
Mouthing Off

The inn crowd: The Schmoozers sign that had hung over the space at 4400 East Eighth Avenue has disappeared, replaced by one proclaiming that the place is once again The College Inn, the name it had gone by since the Fifties. But while that identit... More »

Great drink specials. I'm pretty sure this is part of the Buff Brothers' chain of neighborhood sports bars.
