I came here on Monday night for happy hour. There's nothing special about this midtown sports bar, so I'll keep this short and sweet with a list of take-away points.
1) Food+drink specials every night of the week, some more appealing than others. On Mondays, there are 2-for-1 appetizers (you get charged for the more expensive one), $4 Bud Lights, $5 Shock Tops, $6 well drinks/Cosmos/apple martinis/watermelon martinis.
2) Despite what their website reads, they do not offer 1/2 priced wines on Mondays; it's been moved to Tuesdays. They will not honor this special even though it's advertised as such.
3) It's pretty dead on Mondays with one bartender and one runner working the whole floor.
4) Decor is modern and sleek. Great for a date or just catching up with friends.
Standard sports bar in Murray Hill. Watch out for Tennessee fans, as this is deemed a "Tennessee" bar, whatever that means.
The crowd is slightly older for Murray Hill (later 20s -30s), they serve typical drinks, and get crowded around 10-11. Lots of TVs/places to stand, but little to no interior flare…its very bland.
Came to the Hill on a Monday night to watch the nba finals game.
The positives:
-welcoming and professional staff; res was made over phone and confirmed via text
-good waitress service
-lots of specials. On mon, $4 bud light drafts, $5 shocktop drafts, 2 for 1 apps (you can mix n match)
-lots of TVs so no bad seat for viewing
-they played game sound
-clean and upscale space
-you get 5percent off total bill with a Yelp checkin
The negative:
-food was not good at all. Edible but average at best and this is considering the value as it was 2 for 1 pricing
-the chicken tacos were the best of the bunch. Basic but decent
-the loaded nachos stuck to the plate from overheating and overload of cheese. They were rock hard as well
-the chicken fingers were small. And burnt
-the pizza cone looked good but only thing that was positive about it was the garlic knots it came with
Good space for game watching esp considering all the specials. However I'd skip the food here and just stick to the drinks.
I dined at The Hill on Valentine's Day and took my boo out for a Boozy Brunch! It's a Sports Bar/Lounge (TVs just about everywhere) but it had a Western feel to it based on the décor. It was really busy that day but we were seated quickly and ended up doing the $35 Bottomless Brunch – you get a choice of an entrée (additional sides cost extra obviously) and a choice of your beverage screwdriver, mimosa, blood mary, or draft beer I believe – unlimited for 2 hours.
We had the mimosas… our waitress was nice and attentive especially when it came to the refills… and the food wasn't too bad… my husband had their popular breakfast pizza (eggs, bacon, home fries, and cheese) – which tasted soooo good (I was jelly)… and I stuck to the basics and eggs and home fries (meh, it wasn't nasty but I won't lie I picked a boring meal I could've made at home, smdh)… My next visit I will definitely do better also they have great Happy Hour Specials during the week; and the wings I saw pass my table looked good enough to drool over so I'll be expanding my selections.
The music was a mix and wasn't too overbearing especially since it was a sports bar. We were on the main floor so I didn't get the see the second level but overall we had a great time just drinking and talking…. It's easy to lose track of time there – well until they give you the bill!
I've walked past The Hill dozens of times over the years, but I went inside for the first time on a Wednesday night with reservations for 5 to watch the NBA Finals. Compared to some of the other bars/nightlife immediately surrounding it (or how I imagine they are), The Hill is a nicely decorated and relatively mature looking establishment, and I really appreciated that as we got settled in at our table. It was never crowded – no one standing in between the tables or bar area – but all the seats inside were filled throughout the night. In other words, it was an ideal environment for us.
Wednesday specials are happy hour all night ($4-5 draft beers, $6 well drinks, etc.) and 2-for-1 appetizers, so naturally we abused the deals. Food-wise, we ended up getting 2 pizzas, 2 orders of wings, an order of tacos, and chips + guac (plus our own birthday cake at the end). Aside from the mehness of the guac, we were all impressed with the quality of the food. The honey sriracha wings were especially a favorite amongst us – I definitely recommend if you're looking for actually spicy wings. Drinks were exactly what you expect for all-night HH, but hey, if you get enough it doesn't really matter how good they are.
Service was for the most part solid; there were a couple instances in which we couldn't find our waitress for the life of us but otherwise we were satisfied. The game was terrible, but at least we had great views of a ton of screens playing it as well as local baseball games. It wasn't silent at The Hill, but we never had to yell at each other across the table or strain to hear the audio coming from the game. Based on that night, I'd totally come back to watch sports in a not-dive/sports bar environment.
Overall, our party really had nothing to complain about here. I'm not sure I'd order their food on non-deal nights, but it's really nice to know there's a lowkey, respectable place in Kips Bay to catch up with friends or watch a game!
We came late afternoon on Sunday, a glorious spring day, conducive to dining al fresco. With tables outside their door on Third Avenue, The Hill fit the bill. Good for people-watching, we drank beer (there was a Sunday special), wine and excellent bloody Mary's.
Having indulged in a late brunch — dim sum in Chinatown — we weren't particularly hungry. The four of us shared an order of beef tacos (good!) and loaded nachos with chicken (also good).
Our server was pleasant, prices were commensurate with the area, and all in all, a pleasant place to pass an hour or two.
I ordered via GubHub delivery food. I ordered a Hill Burguer (their signature dish, apparently)
The burguer came in an awful plate, with very small amount of fries and overall the food came colder than my ex's heart. I do not recommend ordering delivery food from here. I'll post a picture of what was advertised vs what was delivered.
good food, somewhat dysfunctional service…granted we had a group of 16, but we waited an extremely long time for our food, at one point the waitress telling us some of it was done but since 8 or 9 burgers were ordered it was taking longer…seriously?
