I have been coming here for years but it was my first time since they revamped the building and updated it. Luckily not much changed. It is still a great local hangout even though the beer prices seemed to have gone up a little, but still very reasonable. One note, it is cash only so remember to bring the greenbacks. But if you are a fan of local dive bars like I am, you will definitely like this spot. This is a pretty simple review, because what you see is what you get. read more

Great little hidden gem - Darko and his staff are the best - food and drinks are outstanding

Favorite bar in Michigan hands down. Love the food , quick service & local regulars who visit often. I really like the high ceiling & how affordable this place is. Check them out & take a friend!! read more

Has great curb appeal, the vestibule is a little odd. Really nice once you enter the bar. About five tables, not counting the shuffle board table. Nice long bar with a decent tap. The service was a little slow but very friendly. I think everyone that worked there stopped to see if our food was good-and it was. Surprisingly good. Some of the best restaurant chili I have ever had, the BLT was very tasty and more than a little unconventional. Served on a hamburger bun. My colleague had the steak sandwich that he said was very good. So over all the food is excellent and I want to go back and try the steak sandwich and a burger-they look awesome. NOTE: This is a CASH ONLY establishment. Keep that in mind, I'll say it again, CASH ONLY establishment read more

Very nice neighborhood bar. Staff is friendly and they also got the kitchen open and the food is on point.

Love this place! They did a really good job with it! I just wish they had a slightly bigger menu

Best bar around, great jukebox. All the servers here are awesome! I knocked over my beer and they replaced it right away.

Met a friend there for a few drinks. Cute place. Very casual corner type bar. Only complaint is the outdoor sign is so small that I passed it up twice lol read more

Great place for a couple beverages with friends! Music isn't too loud that you have to yell to have a conversation. Had my girlfriend's birthday party there and Darko and the girls did a fantastic job. Very friendly, fun, and a pleasure to do business with! THANK YOU for helping make her party an enjoyable and memorable experience!!! read more

Fucking joke of a bar. Owner should get a new job. Wouldn't take debit or credit in a large group (40) and then took cc from individuals. I was trying to pay one tab for everyone. Dick read more

It is what it is. I hate when people say that! Like it should, could be something better if only it tried... No way...I say, if it ain't broke don't fix it... Weird that this place was (according to my review stars) the highlight of my weekend...but....it is what it is...haha....just kidding.. I wouldn't change a thing about this place....it was just what I needed to end the night of busy, weird experiences.. read more

Hilltop Bar - You can't really see it, but every bottle of booze has a price (per pour) on it... No foolin anyone here! - Bars Near Me - Shelby Township, Michigan

Okay, the hilltop bar is by far one of my favorite places to go simply because they're not trying to be something they aren't. Draft selection is from 2 to 3 kinds of beer. They don't carry any dark beers (amber or otherwise), and their top shelf is $40 bottles- johnny walker black for example. But if you need a beer and don't want to deal with the long waits and snooty, horse-faced self-entitled waitresses (hello downtown utica) then this is where you're going tonight. Get your beer, put some good classics on the juke box, turn on the window ac unit, and relax. Nobody cares that you're at a low class place because at least you won't have to deal with all the douchebags from high school that go to the locker room saloon and cactus jacks. Go you. read more

2009 - 2010 I went there a few times. I knew one of the employees ( think she was only employee at the time) that gross place was washing and reusing drinking straws. They also bought booze from stores and refilled bottles on display. Hopefully the owner who lived behind the place sold it. I found the place to be pretty gross. read more

Had a party here last night with 30 people. Darko was a gracious host and Cathy, the bartender, rocked!!!! Not only did she take care of our big group, she solely cared for everyone in the place. She remembered names, orders, and remained cheerful and pleasant the entire night. What a delight!! We chatted with other patrons coming and going throughout the evening. What a great group of people!! read more

Sickest bar in the twp. Darko is the man, even through his thick accent he is still a sweetheart. The drinks are cheap. How cheap? So cheap even a five dollar hooker could catch a buzz. The staff is phenomonal. Want a grey goose martini? Too bad get the hell out of here. Want a Long Island that will knock you out like Mike tysons punch out? Get your ass up here. For everything your dreams ever wanted, hilltop is the place for you! read more

First time, great experience. End of night, maybe 1am.only people in there though. Played jukebox and shuffleboard. Bartender showed us how to play on that board which was nice. He was really nice even though it was so close to closing time. Will definitely be back. Been searching for the best neighborhood bar hole in wall type and this is the first place contender I think. read more

Another 3 star bar for the Utica/Shelby Twp area. Don't expect much from this place and you'll do alright. Its low class, pure and simple. I love dives, but this is about at my limit. It is relatively clean though, and usually not too busy. I would recommend staying out of the bathrooms. read more
