About Hemingway's Cafe

Hemingway's Cafe is a local bar near the University of Pittsburgh, frequented primarily by college students and staff. The restaurant offers a casual, dive-bar atmosphere with a good beer selection and classic bar food. Portion sizes are generous, and prices are reasonable for the amount of food provided. The establishment is known as a quintessential Oakland bar, with a lively and nostalgic atmosphere, especially on game days.

The bar staff provides great service, and the place is clean, making it a chilled-out and safe environment. Multiple TVs showing different sports are a plus point. The drink pitchers are always a hit, and the gummy worms on top are a nice touch. The staff is amazing, and the overall vibe is great for younger college grad-aged people.

Customers describe Hemingway's as a "cool little dive bar" with a "nice sized bar with booths and tables for groups," perfect for grabbing "pub grub" and enjoying "some nice local craft brews on tap." The service is praised as "nice and attentive," and the food and drinks are described as "reasonably priced" and "solid." One customer even calls it a "dive bar through and through" that brings back "so many nostalgic memories" from their time at the University of Pittsburgh.
