      I've been here over the years and this place isn't the same. The place has gone down hill, so it's approximately named.

      I was here with friends. The place was like a ghost town. Only a few seats at the bar, were filled.

      We were hungry... no food was available. No kitchen help. Big disappointment.

      Close to drive through places...and main roads.

      Bathrooms were dirty yuck

      Awesome little bar within walking distance of Morgan Hill's Willard Hicks.

      My girls and I hit up The Hill Bar & Grill after dinner in hopes of continuing our girl's night out|friend's birthday celebration. The bar was pretty bare up until our party arrived but Im not gonna complain, i appreciated not having to elbow people for some room.

      The bar is fully stocked, bartenders are friendly, and the establishment was good in size- offering up plenty of space to get down and boogie!!
      Although the bar was a lot dimmer than I like, the company surrounding this spot is AMAZING!!

      I enjoyed my visit from the moment I walked in until the time I stumbled my happy behind right outta there! 5 solid stars in my book.

      FYI: Heads up, make sure you bring ID because security does not play!!

      Wow, this place has really gone down "hill". We were in town this weekend for our high school reunion and one of the goals of the event was to stop in to the major MH staple bars. We had a great time the The Tav, Running Shops and Sinaloa, and I'm actually mad at myself for paying the $5 it cost to get into The Hill that night. We brought a crowd of 100 people eager to patronize the bar. Most of our class left when they found the bar literally at 0 capacity and wanted to charge all of us $5. That's the bar's prerogative to charge, but I should've taken note like the rest of the group and left before paying myself.

      The staff is almost all security guards wearing bulletproof vests. Unfriendly as they can possibly be. Getting in to this bar was a more in-depth process than going through TSA.

      As folks who have been visiting from out of town, we asked several of the security guards and bartenders what had happened that made security so intense. They kept saying things like "The other local bars don't care about your safety" and that "there is an alarming uptick in local crime and you're the safest here". Honestly, the staff made me feel very unsafe between their demeanor and protective gear. They say there's a problem with gang activity, and somehow they're the only bar dealing with it. Sounds like it might be time to reflect on the ambiance they're creating instead of punishing the community who wants to enjoy this place.

      OH and there was no air conditioning. It was 100 degrees this weekend. It was probably 90% humidity in this place.

      I think this place needs a major makeover. If you're the only bar in town that offers a real night life feel, you DO have a responsibility to keep people safe, but that includes them feeling safe around your staff.

      I don't think there's much left to redeem The Hill. RIP to what used to be a fun local spot.

      Security was very relaxed when we went and the DJ kept it a fun vibe but the bar itself is dinghy and rundown and the service was spotty. The two females working Saturday night we're doing a good job, but the male with the chains was awful and aggressive. Also don't expect much in the way of drinks. Probably should just stick to beer and shots here.

      Pros: Good size and location, roomy , dancing area , upstairs private
      Seating and tables ,
      clean,
      good security ,
      Good lighting
      GOOD MUSIC (hip hop / Latin mix / booty shake
      good sound
      No creepers
      Sometimes cougars

      Cons : pricey drinks
      5$ Weekend cover charge ?? It's only 5$ but why lol?
      Security can be overwhelming
      Sometimes no chicks


      Overall if your in Morgan Hill and are with your gf , wife or hot date , group of friends or coworkers it's a cool spot and you will probably have a good time ;) ;) I would recommend it...if your single this place can be hit or miss. either way it's way better than anything else in the area or having to drive all the way to SJ ....

      Cash and card accepted. The Hill Bar & Grill is located on Monterey and offers street parking.

      I went in on a Friday at 7:30 PM with 2 friends and it was pretty dead but a few groups were in and out while we were there. There wasn't any security when we got there so we had no issues getting in. (There were 4 security guards by the time we left and we saw them patting everyone down.) The place was pretty spacious with a decent-sized dance floor and upstairs area. The music ranged from hip hop to some edm and it was pretty good.

      The bartenders were on their phones and talking to other customers frequently but it wasn't that hard to get drinks. (We were the only group that stayed at the bar for a few hours). We did have one issue paying at the end: When we got the bill there were items on it we didn't order and some of the drink counts were off. The bartender said he accidentally closed our tab but the amount was still correct. The next day the card we used was cloned and tried to use at a gas station in Carson.

      Overall this place was ok. Maybe my friends and I went too early...

      This place discriminates. Initially, I was told I couldn't go in because my shoes were "too red" (see pic) so I went to a car to change them. Than when we tried again they said my friend was wearing too much sports material & all he had on was a black Jordan shirt similar to the one in the pic provided. Meanwhile during all this, a woman wearing all red to the heels was allowed in & a man in a baseball jersey, who was standing behind us, was allowed in. Safe to say this place didn't want our type of people in, whatever that may be, they didn't like how we looked which was obvious because people in similar clothing were allowed in right in front of us. It sucks because we used to enjoy this place.

      Example shirt that my friend had on. They said this was "too much sports material". Meanwhile people had jerseys on inside.
      This was the shoe that had "too much red for entry" on it.

      Where do I start. ??? It took 30 min to get a drink. The women's restroom was out of service. I was there for a birthday party and that wasn't enough to keep me . I left as soon as the second stall in the women's restroom went under. At first it was 1 stall out of the two that was out of order. Then the women were instructed to other establishments to use the restroom. I provided a video of 6 people behind the bar and one particular person waiting for a drink. It took half an hour for us w 3 people behind the bar. It took. Almost 45 for this particular person. Please don't waste your time here. Money aside , this place isn't worth it. Pictures and videos attached.

      I went to this place as a go to spot to have a few drinks with my wife last week and security told me I couldn't go in because no red was allowed, I had on red and black tennis shoes that went with my fashion and I'm far from looking like a gang banger. my wife then pointed out to security that there was a guy inside with red shoes on that she could see and security sarcastically replied well he's the owner he can wear what he wants too. I don't know who these people think they are but the patrons are the people that keep these establishments open and they treated us with disrespect, that being said they just lost any business from me and I will definitely tell a friend this place has gone downhill in a nice city of Morgan hill. I wish I could give them zero stars but it's not an option. This place sucks ass I'm sure the only good reviews are from family and friends!
