Top of the Hill: The best date spot and the best place to take your parents

Shawn Rocco


Wondering where to take your parents or that special someone? Top of the Hill Restaurant and Brewery is the perfect spot. Located on the corner of Franklin and Columbia Street, Top of the Hill never disappoints with their iconic view of downtown Chapel Hill. 

Few people visit Chapel Hill without dropping by TOPO – and not just because of the view. The restaurant offers locally-inspired lunch, dinner and late night plates paired with house-crafted beers and cocktails. 

Top of the Hill’s brewery serves a variety of classic and community-inspired craft beers to embody the Chapel Hill spirit. It also operates a distillery, which was one of North Carolina’s first distilleries to produce organic vodka, gin, spiced rum and whiskey. Its wide selection makes it a great spot to share a drink with your parents or date.

Top of the Hill is not just a restaurant and brewery, but also has The Great Room and Back Bar. The Great Room is an event space where you can host your private celebration in the heart of Chapel Hill, and the Back Bar offers Top of the Hill’s food, beer and drink selection in a casual atmosphere. 

Whether you’re wanting a quiet date night in the dining room, hosting your parents on the patio or watching a UNC sports game, Top of the Hill is the place to go.
