This is the only real bar in Hillsborough but I would never go back. My husband and I went there twice. The first time was shortly after we moved (new to the area) and were wearing our favorite college team shirt after moving all day. Apparently, the owner took issue with the college and basically told us to leave the bar. The bartender apologized, saying the owner was kidding, but the owner continued to be rude until we felt we had to leave. He was also not friendly to other staff or customers. We decided to give it a second chance years later just recently and noticed the same ""owner"" being rude, argumentative, and arrogant. He was short to his own staff, rude to the other customers, and seemed to be using his bar as a place for his friends to gather rather than run a business. It was almost as if we walked into a party that we were not invited to. I was surprised the bar was busy, as most people were not there for him but were not treated well. We ordered food and it was very greasy and not worth the price. Very slow waitstaff. The fries were greasy and limp, the hamburgers were thin, and the presentation was in a basket with paper--all the grease soaked through and the paper broke up and into the food. Not a welcoming place by any means. We tried to give this place a second try, hoping that the owner had cleaned up his act and started acting in a manner more deserving of his position but we got the same unwelcoming and condescending attitude. I would not recommend this place to anyone and can't believe it's still in business.
Pros: only bar in Hillsborough
Cons: bad food, poor customer service, condescending and rude owner
