BarFly's Review of Top of the Hill Tavern
They’re not kidding about the hill; it’s pretty much off-limits to bikes that don’t come equipped with engines, and the hog-riders that do frequent Top of the Hill aren’t likely part of a gang, unless one counts the close-knit group of regulars. Those who come from the neighborhood—which is to say, most of the patrons—are pure of heart, toothless in the best of senses, with an air of hard work well done: a mix of heroic NASCAR fans and aging rockers slowly recreating themselves as old hands at construction.
Top of the Hill also hosts a Thursday Fun League of elderly Gresham doyennes who, we assume, are responsible for the bathroom graffiti asking that you “imagine the world to be beautiful, fun and pure.” Friday karaoke is hosted by a guy who’s a perfect blend of Willie Nelson and Santa Claus, which is to say: he’s a saint.

Karaoke Friday rocks here! The kj is cool, biggest song selection I've ever seen, computerized so if you want to switch a song at the last minute, it's not going to piss him off, it takes seconds!
Food 'till 2, great neighborhood bar where everyone welcomes you. Kinda like Cheers (norm!). 2 pool tables, friendly staff on the weekends. Not too busy, good place to Karaoke or bring a date at the end of the night where you won't have to worry about Pu**y hungry creeps hitting on your catch.
