Hemingway's is good at what it intends to do: get college students drunk. The drink selection is pretty terrible unless you like discount shots, with no top-shelf liquor and mediocre-at-best draft choices. I never went here much as an undergrad, and I only go now before 9pm and only for the exceptional grilled cheeses--they have a great variety and all are made with thick Italian bread. If you work in Oakland, you can't beat a delicious non-chain-restaurant sandwich for $5.99-7.99.
