| - Ah, Hemingway's. The holy grail for Pitt Litchfield Towers freshman. Every weekend, countless Towers residents walk past the tempting allure of Hem's bumping music and sidewalk vomit on their way to a fruitless, South Oakland party search. Built into the structure of the University's iconic residence halls, Hem's is a awesome spot for several reasons.
During the day, Hem's is a great place to grab a drink and a bite to eat. The menu is pretty extensive, and "Tot-Cho's" (tater-tot nachos) are (in)famous member of trans fat culture. Throughout the day, $5 meal deals cover about 72% of the menu. There is a daytime slot and a nighttime slot. Beware, a $1 "drink charge" is a applied if you don't buy one yourself.
Hem's can be a wild place on weekends. It combines everything that makes a good college bar. A DJ to dance to, drink deals each night, and plenty of corners to hunker into if you need to have a serious talk with some friends. From about 9PM-midnight (check me on that), Hems offers a $4 shot pitcher. It's essentially mixed drink in a giant water pitcher. Each night is a different "special" and each are effective in reducing braincells as desired. Drink choices are extensive, and I've barely scraped the surface of the beers they offer. You're bound to run into people you know at Hem's, as it is the bar of choice for many of those involved on campus.
Hemingway's is a staple of the Oakland and Pitt experience. The diversity of experiences and awesome memories I've formed with my friends will have us returning to the bar as creepy 30-somethings, trying to relive moments our collegiate pasts.
