User Reviews for Don Hill's

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

This bar is a NY institution. The likes of Courtney Love and Alice and Chains play here unannounced. Don is the coolest guy I ever met and the bartenders make STRONG drinks. This is a GREAT place to see a band. I'm never disappointed here.

Pros: ROCK & ROLL atmosphere

Cons: Depressing on slow nights

2 Star Rating: Below Average

1 - the great band, The Ropes played there (they ROCK) and they have a POLE! :) Other than that, the people were rude, the place was kinda creepy and I just was not impressed...

Pros: pole dancing

Cons: mean workers

Go to Don Hills if you want to pay 30.00 per couple only to get cursed out by the bouncer for asking for your change. Go to Don Hills if you want to have your money thrown back at you and get rejected at the door for no apparent reason. There's a bouncer nazi working right here in our great city and he is looking for more innocent people to take his agression out on so if you're into that like of thing, then this is your club.

For the last several weeks, the great crowd and vibe that made Thursday so great has been missing. One time it was packed at 11:30, who gets there before midnight? Hopefully the old crowd will return and bring back the magic.

I went here totally randomly and thought it was actually really fun. The live bands are definitely worth a listen, and, since the place is pretty small (but not too crowded) we were able to chat with the bands after their performances. The staff was great, but maybe with the exception of one surprisingly self-righteous cocktail waitress who actually took my half-empty drink and poured cigarette ashes into it before carting it away... Charming, sure. Bad attitiude? Aww yeah. Seriously. Stay away from her, order from the bar, and you'll have a great time.

Pros: Great bands, Not too crowded, Cheap

Cons: Bad server

The music was great 80's new wave and my friends and I danced our asses off all night long! The bathroom lines were a bit ridiculous, but the fact that we managed to score a table with waitress service made up for it. Good place; I'd totally go back.

Pros: music

Cons: bathrooms

Since when do bad bartenders, eardrum-crushing music, and a generally lackluster atmosphere equal an 8.5 rating on Citysearch? I acknowledgee that the range of events and theme nights held at Don Hill's is fairly wide -- which makes it even more difficult to figure out why the bar's basics are still so crappy. Service was wack, with the possible exception of one doorman who waved me in using a single thumb. He was either really bored or really awesome.
