I had been stopping by Hillside occasionally for a while, always enjoying myself. I am a beer and a shot kind of guy and they have plenty of both there. Service was always good and there was a good mix of friendly regulars and people from the neighborhood, like myself. Chill atmosphere and free peanuts didn't hurt either.What brought my rating up to 5 stars was their trivia night. My friends and I had been looking for a trivia night on the Hill that worked with our schedule. Hillside has one the first Wednesday of every month. We tried it a few times and LOVED it! The questions were a good mix of easy and challenging. There were 3 rounds. Some specific categories and some random. The winning team received the cash pot from the entry fees. What we really liked was that the team that came in last won a free pitcher of Olympia beer. We almost considered bombing just to get the free beer. :)
The host is entertaining and fun. We have gone twice now and will definitely be back! Even if you are not into trivia, Hillside is a great place to have some cocktails with good friends and maybe even make a few new ones.

This bar was amazing. $1.50 PBR/ OLY and something else from 2p - 6p. Lots of games to play and the bartenders are amazing. We also ate the pizza because it was the only food that they had. It's frozen, reheated pizza that you would expect from a place like this. Food they would get 2 stars but prices for drinks and what they have to offer easily give this place 5 stars.
