It's home. Great people, good times, and strong drinks.

I came here for the first time on a dismal weekday night, one of those inevitable outcomes of a long stressful day. Nick, one of the three awesome bartenders I've met thus far, quickly served my drink and entertained a chat about the origins of the girl punk rock band currently playing. The numerous frequently-rotating taps eased my mind as I tried a variety of new brews. The locals and randoms, too, were happy to let me join in their conversations. Needless to say, much needed unwinding that evening.

Every time I came here since, I ended up having at least one good drink and interesting conversation. There's plenty of space, a comfy couch area, as well as a pool and arcades. And peanuts! Remember when that was standard at bars?

Whether you're looking for a stiff drink, a good company, or just getting your mind off of things, Hillside never disappoints!.

I love Hillside. Came across when i first moved to cap hill. I've since moved north but stop there after work every so often. The bartenders are great and personable, it has a divey feel but not too divey, and plenty to entertain yourself. Pool table downstairs, pinball, buck hunter, skeeball, and darts upstairs. Hillside is my comfort bar for sure. I greatly appreciate those who run it and am very thankful it's made it through the pandemic thus far. Keep it up!
