Hemingway's Cafe

Nice bar, open seats esp for weekday nights. Came here after a IM ball game with some buds and got some shots and split some pitchers. Good vibes all around. Pitcher cocktails are fun but super sweet/not that alcoholy if thats what ur into (i am).

As far as college bars go, this place hasnt changed a bit in the last 20 years. The food is all fried, the beer comes in pitchers and the staff is rarely in a good mood.If you're just drinking and maybe eating a few appetizers this place is exactly what you'd want, but their food is fairly mediocre otherwise. But they have kept their prices low.

This is a University of Pittsburgh staple. This bar is a must for bar food and cheap drinks

Local bar near U of Pitt and my son and I stopped in here for dinner while we were visiting the university. They ID you as you walk in, and at first I didn't think they were going to allow us in given my son was not 21, but they ultimately sat us. Primarily college kids hanging here. Food was ok and about what I would expect for a bar. Portion sizes are huge and prices are good for the amount of food you do get. Service was generally good throughout our meal and refills were attended too quickly. The amount of sour cream you get with the Pierogi's isn't really enough for the amount of Pierogi's, so I asked for more sour cream, which they do charge for.

Typical college bar with pub fare. We liked the vibe of it and the food and drinks were pretty good. The staff were amazing. We made multiple stops here during our stay in the area. We will definitely be back when/if we are in town

Casual university crowd with wonderful cheap eats. This is a no frills bar/restaurant that pulls in the nearby university crowd. Food is decent and abundant. I got the tots loaded with pulled pork and it was definitely a dish to be shared! The service is good as friendly.

Perfect little college bar for quick bites and brews! They also offer awesome mixed drink pitchers with cool gummies for photo ops. The bartender was fast and knowledgeable! I used to come here years ago and was happy to see not much changed! ( nothing needs to be )

I have come to this place many times. Always have a good time and good drinks. Their food is super good and the atmosphere, while a bit chaotic at times, is fun and upbeat. Very much a college town bar. They have fun events such as trivia and karaoke. If you come here you can definitely expect the crowd to be on the younger side***Weekends they are usually super packed, so I would recommend getting there before 7 if you want a seat. If you are going for trivia definitely sit up front or you won't be able to hear.

Maybe one of the last establishments still around in Oakland that most students and alumni have been two in the past few decades. Came here on a game day and you could hear the nostalgia all around. On top of preserving memories, they have a solid beer selection with a handful of local and craft options. It's the kind of place where everybody hangs out. Most people were in Pitt gear but there was an eclectic group ranging from a wedding party to a group that just finished a construction shift. Lots of TVs and drink specials.

Nice local college bar. Inexpensive with good bar food. Nice atmosphere and great service v
