Fun bar with a chill vibe. Theyve got darts, pool, skeeball, and pinball. Solid drinks and cool bartenders. The only downside is that in the ladies bathroom, the stalls have curtains instead of doors. Not a deal breaker, but definitely less than ideal. Other than that though, great place to chill with some friends!

Walked over to Hillside in search for a dartboard. The friendly bartender let us use the good darts behind the bar and was extremely helpful. Beers were good - porter and blonde and darts were fantastic.Chill environment that really never got busy but always somehow managed to have a plethora of different characters in it.

Friendly and communicative atmosphere with a feel of midwest comfort but in Capital Hill. Pool table, darts, a place to meet w friends, family and meet new friends. Order food from Revolver and eat there. Will go back.

Great place. East coast vibes and atmosphere where the seattle freeze is just a myth. Drinks are poured great and everyone is so friendly and open to talking.

This is a fine place to go hang out with friends - its never too crowded. Its a little divey, but their whiskey selection is surprisingly good for such a hole in the wall place. Ive ended up here when other places were full and never regretted it, although the seating in their downstairs area is a pretty uncomfortable, its still manageable.

Awesome bar. Free peanuts, lots of taps, has a pool table, juke box, dart board, ski ball, and a couple pinball machines.

I love the hillside- it has a few different spaces (back room with couches, upstairs game room, pool area, bar) and the bartenders are great. Its everything a bar should be, cheap and stiff drinks, fun community, doesnt take itself seriously.

I love that one bartender. That scary one from monsters inc. Randall? Not so frightening behind the bar.

Quick bar service paired with clean bathrooms and plenty of space to grab a drink with friends. Some call it a dive bar, but dont let throw you. Its simple, offers good beers without a crazy markup, and make for a great place to enjoy a drink

One of the best dive bars left on the hill. Pinball, pool, and darts!

I loved the bartender. He was very polite and welcoming. I had a rough day traveling to Seattle, then with my vehicle. After ordering pizza from next door (aaaammmaaazzzaing) then having a pbr on draft my worries subsided and I felt I could continue to overcome whatever Seattle could bring my way.Id recommend this join to anyone, especially ones with a dog. The customer is rad, the atmosphere is welcoming and they had about 10 + beers on draft. Two thumbs up on the prices too!!

This place is a ZERO. Hated it. A long hair hippy type girlie-man tried playing traffic cop on me. I put him in his place. I WOULD NOT recommend this place for anyone.

Review №36

Jaw-droppingly rude bartender. I came in sober and polite, and made a dumb joke about Rainer beer. She went off the rails and was bizarrely rude to me and my date for about 5 minutes straight. We tried to apologize repeatedly, but she stared us down like a crazy person. So odd.I assume that she was reacting to some recent personal tragedy or that maybe she was off-meds? Rachel or something like that. She was on shift October 16 at around 10pm. She also claimed to own the bar, which would surprise me.

Pool, pinball, darts. Two floor bar with a city block of character.

Review №38

Like the bar tenders a lot, the layout is awkward, but its been like that since it was the previous bar.They have pinball, big buck hunter, *horrible* dart boards, skee ball, pool, a cute sitting area nook. Great selection of booze and beer on tap, as well as bottles and cans of beers/ciders!No food menu with the exception of pizzas they have and peanuts but they allow outside food, so venture that corridor, theres some amazing food within walking distance!

Probably my favorite place to hang out for a couple of beers in all of Seattle. I live around the corner and the Hillside is the neighborhoods living room. Awesome staff, friendly regulars, fun place to watch the Hawks (the TV situation isnt completely ideal as its not a sports bar, but the experience is awesome just the same - the place is always packed and somebody always brings in some sort of spread for the crowd to eat). No food except for small pizzas from SODO Pizza (which are actually quite good) but you can bring in food ordered elsewhere. A real sense of community exists here.
