Top of the Hill Restaurant & Brewery

On Top of the Southern Part of Heaven

  • Micro Brewery
  • Outdoor Dining available
  • Fine Dining Experience

Created to prevent a national chain restaurant from occupying this same space, Top of the Hill was conceived to be the social crossroads of Chapel Hill- a mingling place for graduate students, faculty, town residents, tourists, undergraduates or anyone lucky enough to find themselves in the Southern part of heaven.

We strive to provide not only a great dining and social experience, but one that is intrinsically linked to Chapel Hill and Franklin Street. Please enjoy the view over historic downtown and make sure to take time to look at our collection of historic Chapel Hill photographs.

We have been awarded over 25 "Best in the Triangle" and "Best of" Awards including Best Restaurant in Chapel Hill, Best Micro Brew and Best Outdoor Deck, among others.

Our beer selection is unbeatable and our menu, served at both lunch and dinner, offers eclectic upscale American cuisine.

Editorial Review for Top of the Hill Restaurant & Brewery – by Jennifer Bringle

In Short
The spacious interior includes a large bar with signature beers brewed on-site. Step out onto the patio and enjoy your meal at one of the outdoor tables. Menu offerings are more sophisticated than other restaurants on Franklin, with appetizers like creme fraiche shrimp cerviche and entrees such as oysters Florentine gnocchi and chef's filet mignon. More traditional diners will like the buttermilk fried chicken, and lunch options such as the Top cheeseburger and paprika chicken sandwich.

Stopped up at Top of the Hill to try their beers......unfortunately the bar was so crowded I settled with a scotch and water since I didn't know when I was getting back up there. One thing I can say is this is where the women go!!!

Pros: Beautiful women and decent liquor selection

Cons: Slow service

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended
