I love Up th' Hill. Â Dani and John a great purveyors and take great care of their loyal following. Â Ryan, Tibby, Jenna and Ashley make sure your class or bottle is never empty. Â For the lucky ones, stop by on any given holiday and John's probably cooking up a feast for the masses. Â This man is talented behind the BBQ and should seriously consider getting the place next door and expand it into a restaurant/bar. Â Honestly, he's a gourmet with food.
Pool is free most nights, definitely on Saturday nights. Â There are 2 tables, one is regulation bar-size and the other one is a bigger table. Â It's a pool-heavy bar so expect a wait to shoot. Â But, people are friendly and while you're waiting, grab a dirt cheap beverage. Â Beers are around $3 and well-drinks are less than $4. Â For $20 there is no reason not to be pretty well tanked. Â The bartenders have cabs on speed dial so there's no reason to drink and drive. Â Local law-enforcement definitely frowns on that. Â
Great bar, great people, great prices. Â Just great!
In a word: YUK. Â I felt like I needed hand sanitizer the moment I walked into this bar. Â We came here in search of a new local watering hole after the sad demise of The Mix and couldn't have been more disappointed.
There was not even basic bar nosh available, nay, in fact, no food to be had save a bag of expired Funyuns. Â Could not get a shot at the pool table for cash or fabulous prizes. Â Bartender had no personality at all, but judging by the extremist right-wing bumper stickers slathered all over the bar mirror, I don't think I would want to know anyway.
We won't be back, but I certainly won't lose any sleep over it.
The first time you walk into Up Th' Hill, you'll be wondering what you've gotten yourself into. The decor is non-existent, save for a few beer company decorations. The walls and ceiling show the results of decades upon decades of cigarette smoke. (It's smoke-free now.) The linoleum on the floor is worn down to wood in places. The patrons even look like they've seen better days. (I know I do.)
But spend a few minutes in the place, and you'll soon meet a friendly bartender, and chances are the guy or gal at the bar next to you will strike up a conversation. The banter among the regulars and the bartender is entertaining, and if they start including you in the mock trash talking, you'll know they consider you a friend. I've been going to Up Th' Hill for nearly 20 years, and don't recall ever seeing a fight, despite the somewhat seedy appearance of the place and its customers. It's a true workingman's neighborhood bar.
The drink prices are rock-bottom, but poured generously. The pool tables vary in condition...they are resurfaced from time to time to keep them in decent enough shape for various pool league games. The jukebox is connected to the Interwebs, so the music selection is huge. (And there's a good chance you'll hear Frank Sinatra mixed with hip-hop or The Eagles. Ya just never know.) This is probably not the best place in town for a romantic glass of wine with your significant other, but it's a great place to party with friends, or to hang out solo and chat with some interesting people.
Came here last night for drinks. I will say one thing is that usually vodkas are watered down at all bars, This place they actually opened a new bottle for us so not watered down at all! The place is super tiny. Basically its two side tables, two pool tables, and the bar. The restrooms are clean suprisingly. They have a tiny outdoor padio where you can smoke in the back parking lot. Everyone here is friendly, and the bartender is super nice and fast. This place is super tiny!! Dont judge it right away, give it a shot. The people makes the bar fun, not just alcohol. This is my new fav place when I want to grab a super quick drink with friends.
Review Source:Went here for the first time last night. This is a bar where everyone knows each other. The bartender was really nice, the locals were friendly, and the drinks are dirt cheap. Plus, the jukebox is pretty good too. And there's two tv's. Good stuff.
I'll definately get drunk here again if I'm in the area. In fact, I'm writing a review with a hangover courtesy of this place.
Went at about 8pm on a Friday night with my husband and a friend. We walked in and the first thing that struck me was the silence. No conversation, no glasses clinking, no music. We were immediately asked for ID by the friendly bartender, even as two grade-school children in plaid uniforms and polo shirts came giggling out from the back and took their places BEHIND the bar. The boy, about 7, kept threatening to spray us with the soda gun unless we produced ID, which of course we did immediately.
Three whiskey-and-cokes were only $9.50, which was a major plus. There are two pool tables, an electric darts game, and a counter with a crock pot, microwave, and industrial fan in the corner. Spider webs and neon signs grace the walls. The word "dive" does not really do it justice.
That being said, we had a good time. A few more people stumbled in over the two hours we were there, and eventually some music came on and it was a little more lively. I would not recommed going here to meet people or on a date - only with close friends that you know can entertain each other.
This place doesn't deserve the compliment of being a dive (at least not the way dive is used now to describe bars). Â Very small place, inhabited by retirees. Basic beers, dilapidated pool table and sports playing on ancient TV's.
I went one weekend for happy hour and seriously doubt I will be back to see if an actual crowd shows up.
This is one of the best dives ever. Â Ryan is the best bartender and even though there are "usuals" they are always welcoming to us "almost usuals" and together we are stand offish yet respectful to the "non usuals" that mosey into Up Th' Hill. Â It is dirt cheap to drink here, the juke box is legendary, there's a pool table, and a banquet table with slow cookers. Â Need I saw more?
