Our People

Like the movie Cocktail, but without the fancy shit

We’re A Lot Like You

We like sunsets, the smell of rain, and long walks on the beach. And booze.

Origin Story

In 2012, Sean McAteer got tired of working for the man, and decided to follow the American Dream of giving up his vacation and health insurance to run his own business. And thus, Hillside Bar was born.

Hillside Bar opened its doors on Capitol Hill on December 8, 2012. It quickly became a favorite neighborhood hangout for locals who just want to, well, hang out.

Hillside is a come-as-you-are kind of place. So come, as you are, and have a drink.

What a great place! I wish I was there now. Found the referral on Beer Advocate for a place to get a craft beer not too far from the REI Camping Store. Service was great as well as the folks around the bar. I even got offered and gladly received a bag of whole bean single-origin roast from a patron. It was unbelievable, as if I was having a pleasant dream. Check out their web page for a list of offerings; I had the dark cherry cider.
