What People Are Saying About Hilltop

Featured Review

Contributor

Contributor

In Short – This is where people go for a brew and a meal, but the usual burgers and pizza won't do. Expect pub fare like baked goat cheese salad and Hilltop Halibut Cakes with sake-citrus sauce. While the menu here doesn't track 74th Street Ale House's precisely, the two places share many items, including gumbo and a signature chicken sandwich.

Editor's Tips

Know Before You Go:
This spot is smallish and narrow, which makes everyone feel like a regular.
When to Go:
Mondays through Fridays from 3pm to 6pm is happy hour with $1 off of all their 18 draft beers.

I always drink too much when I go here. Boundary Bay.

One of the best mainstays on Queen Anne Avenue. Excellent service, decent food, and great selection of beer. Is it perfect? No, but what is.

It doesn't get any better than this

by GregF13 at Citysearch

We seriously think about the reuben for days after having it. It is the best sandwich I have ever had, and I never really was a big fan of reuben's before this one. Make sure to order it with a side ceasar salad, which is just as good as the sandwich. The local beer selection is tops, service is great, location can't be beat.

  • Pros: Best Reuben and beer selection
  • Cons: None

Yum! Great place to eat :)

First of all, great location. Right at the top of Queen Anne hill so it has that chill atmosphere to it.

Second, Hilltop has hands-down the best chicken sandwich I've ever had in my entire life. It's on rye bread ( and I usually hate rye bread, but this is how good the sandwich is ) and comes with either tabouili or chips. If you haven't tried this, you must!

Very nice staff every time me and my guy go there and prompt service.

I also really like the pub vibe it has, very cozy.

Thanks, Hilltop!

  • Pros: Best chicken sandwich ever, location, service
  • Cons: none

Best local hangout for great food and beverage

by grubexpert at Citysearch

This has been my favorite pub for over 10 years........and now I live in QA so I am really happy!

The food is way beyond pub fare; everything is VERY well done, albeit somewhat of a bias for spicey; good for some, not all. I personally love the burger.........in fact, it's one of the best I've ever encountered. Start with a large quality beef patty, grill with fresh onions, bell peppers on a fresh roll topped with your favorite cheese.......and order with the gumbo........wow! Can only be topped with a Guiness.

  • Pros: great food, excellent beer selection on tap, and friendly, effecient service
  • Cons: can be a bit loud...but it is a pub
