The Hideaway Bar & Grill

I really don't know this place very well under it's newer name, The Hideaway. In my underage years, it was called Whiskey River and then The Anchor.

I remember it most as The Anchor. There was a huge airbrushed lifesize Popeye near the front door. Very dark and dank, the ultimate dive bar.

This place is within walking distance of my parents house and my friends and I were here all of the time - especially after we realized they would never card us. (I'm not sure if they still engage in this practice - obviously they've changed hands in the past 12 years).

I have many fond memories of this bar. I once woke up on the dirty bathroom floor after one too many shots of tequila - thanks to the DeMarco's donuts guy.

Too bad the old owner started blowing lines of OxyContin.
