| - Hem's is a must-try bar and café located in the heart of the University of Pittsburgh's Main (Oakland) Campus. Hem's has been voted one of America's best college bars, and it definitely deserves that. The food here is delicious, and it is especially worth it when it is half off (11am-12pm, 2pm-4pm, 9pm-12am)! ...but remember to tip on the full price even though food is half off! I highly recommend the pulled pork grilled cheese, the Philly cheesesteak wrap and the spinach-artichoke dip. And you must get their sweet potato fries! They have some of the best sweet potato fries. During half off hours, they'll charge you $1 if you don't buy a drink, but you'd be crazy to go in here and not get yourself a shot pitcher (unless you're under 21). I think the Long Island shot pitcher is the best bang for your buck (and it comes with gummy worms on top). Most of the shot pitchers are pretty great, with a few being kind of gross. But the gummy worms are definitely worth the buy. At night, this is one of the best bars in Oakland. Sometimes it can get overcrowded, but it is generally still super fun. The DJ isn't always the best and the ones that are there don't actually care about properly DJing (proper transitions, etc.) but I like that they sometimes take requests. Lindsey is the best bartender and waitress there because she is the nicest, friendliest, and most attentive! Overall, great bar and I love the food, atmosphere, and drinks!
