Super cool vibe, Jazz on vinyl, a great whisky selection and a specialty drink menu with a 70s wood paneling and natural stone decor. Life is better than good when you are at the Little Hill.

Chill neighborhood bar. They do everything right. I’m always on the fence with leaving reviews for places like this. You want to show appreciation and you want them to be rewarded, but you also don’t want the crowds to ruin it.

A fantastic lounge for a quick drink or a night of musical entertainment. Perfectly blended mixed drinks, including, but not limited to, their own specialties. Drinks like a proper Manhattan, Singapore Sling, and even house Margaritas!

A retro lounge / dive bar that’s clean and updated with fantastic drinks and great music? (And clean bathrooms???) Welcome home. The updated Little Hill Lounge has lots of options for sitting at the bar, in booths or has tables. Our mixed drinks were on point - especially the prickly pear margarita with mezcal. The night we were there, a night of 60s surf / lounge music added to the fun ambiance. It’s easy to park and a friendly spot to meet friends or maybe more. (Currently no food is served so plan ahead. :) If you’re a DJ or have a record collection, try asking about being the DJ for the night. I hope to be sometime!

Great neighborhood bar, just reopened recently after a change in ownership and remodel. The back room now has a stage and a dark, David Lynch-style vibe. Great Mai Tais and a good selection of beers at reasonable prices. They’re starting a live music program with bands in the back and there’s a DJ booth in the front.

Drinks were pro. All around. Retro bar not dive. Though feels soooo down to earth. Music was slightly too loud to have a convo the night we went but local friends tell us that’s usually not the case and they have dope live music. I really appreciate the Photo Booth. What a fun thing for a bar to have. Thank you for a great night.

Neighborhood “dive bar” that was remodeled a few years ago to still have the same look and feel but cleaner upgraded. Parking across the street is plentiful. Great selection of drinks well executed. They host bands more frequently.
