Mitchells Hilltop Pub & Grill Restaurant

Two visits, each of the last two summers at the end of July; I think I might have been here one other time too, around ’07 or ’08. As others have mentioned, this is *RIGHT* off the interstate, so it’s super-convenient if you’re driving through, which I’ve done each of the last two years on my way to my family reunion way Up North. You know you’re in a beer-friendly place right away when you walk in - through a large beer barrel. Inside is your typical rustic Northwoods décor, but in this place it looks and feels authentic. Beer list is basically all Wisconsin, and half of it Point or Central Waters. If they ever have rarities I haven’t seen ’em, but if you appreciate those breweries, or New Glarus, Ale Asylum, etc, you’ll find something. Food is typical pub grub but a bit better than average; I had a brisket sandwich special one time that was really excellent. Prices are low by my standards, and I now live in a very cheap area; hard to imagine anybody complaining about prices here. Both kid and biker-friendly, which is rather cool.

I enjoy stopping here on my way to the Northwoods of WI. Great atmosphere, good food and decent beer selection.

This is one of the better pubs in the Stevens Point area. It also has a long history. The bar area has a nice ambiance - a lot of wood. The food great - especially the specialty burgers. They go great with either a macro of local craft brew (e.g. Point). I strongly recommend if in the area. It’s just off of I 39.

Great resting spot for journey to the north woods. Nice barrel doors. Ate at the bar. Decent menu and good pub appetizers. Beer selection was decent and service was good.

This is a nice friendly place. Standard pub food and a reasonable selection of beerturned me on to some wisconsin brews I didn’t know about. Nothing to go out of the way for, but if you’re in the area it’s worth a beer or two.

Great eats at a coll place. We used to go to Point quite frequently and I always insisted we stop here for the food. Actually it was because they had a huge Keg as their front door. Great selection of beers, Point specials, Central Waters, and some New Glarus.

Great food, good selection of beers, excellent service.

I ended up at this place in October 2004 on my way to a wedding in Wausau, namely because one of the brewers for Central Waters (makers of the reknown Bourbon Barrel Stout) was working there as a bartender. I ordered three growlers of his beer ahead of time and picked them up at this brewpub. Hilltop had 4 Central Waters beers on tap, 2 New Glarus, and a handful of Point beer products. I didn’t eat, just sat up at the bar and talked to some interesting folks while sampling a few of their tap beers. (The conversation started when someone asked me, "Why are you smelling your beer?") Anyway its a convenient stop off Highway 51. Note that this place is in no way affilated with the Hilltop beers listed above. Not sure why they show up here.
