“ It’s been far too many years since I visited this place and the pizza was so good! I’ve already had some delivered since my visit last week. Glad to find this place again and plan on making it a regular pizza stop. ”
“ Made a old man feel young again! Too much fun. Pregame warm-up. WKU is awesome. Parents weekend a success. My daughter made the right decision to extend her education here. GO BIG RED! ”
“ Love this place!! College town yes, but we the parents are at WKU dropping off or visiting our children and this is walking distance from the hotel on campus. Great staff and great service. ”
“ I haven't been here in over 6 years, to say I was surprised by the menu update is putting it mild. I won't describe before, but now their menu shines. The menu is not overwhelming, but I found it hard to decide regardless. I had the pepperoni chips w/ ranch dipping sauce, unique and delicious. Next a couple taco options I found well prepared and tasty. Last, I had the Hilly Cheesesteak Scoops, a different cut of potato, truly awesome. All of this was washed down with great beers on tap, sorry, no children allowed. It has a great sports bar atmosphere and plenty of room for gatherings of all sizes. It will not be another 6 years before I return! ”
“ I had the bourbon molasses wings and they were absolutely the best wings I've ever had. The restaurant was a great, typical college town sports bar. The atmosphere was good and service and pricing were excellent as well. I would highly recommend Hilligan's when visiting in Bowling Green Kentucky. ”
“ I absolutely love Hilligan's, they have the best drink prices and happy hour in Bowling Green. My friends and I have always been pleased with Hilligan's--especially their front porch, which is perfect during a warm summer day for enjoying the delicious food and beverages they offer. ”
“ Stopped by on a Monday night to grab a beer, something to eat and watch the game. The wings were good, the beer was cold, and the staff were great! Especially Emily, the bartender. She made my night! She is one of those people that can make me, as an out-of-towner, feel welcome and like she's known me forever! Thanks to Emily and the whole staff there! Employees are what makes or breaks a business. Y'all definitely made my experience there great! ”
“ I was in Bowling Green, KY, for one night and wanted to go to a place close to the hotel to watch a game, enjoy a beer and have a bite to eat and I came to Hilligan’s. I chose the spicy chicken wrap along with a small Caesar salad a beer; it was all good! ”
