PHI bar is a classic for CMU students who want to grab a pitcher (or four or five) after class. the food is so-so.. i don't think i would ever get it unless i was already drinking there. Sometimes i swear that when you order pizza what you get is grease with a side of pizza. Still, can be tasty if you don't think about it.
friday drink specials make this place crazy cheap. recent experiments also confirm that PHI can also be a highly effective study location, as i can tolerate reading over lecture notes much more with beer and pizza.
