Hideaway Country Bar & Grill

I have to say, that i adored this place.  A friend of mine and i rode our horses today about 2 miles to get to the Hideaway and then we tied them up at one of the hitching posts outside and walked in to a true L.A. time warp.  Thank God a place like this still exists!  

It was about 2 p.m. on a Friday so there weren't too many people in there (Bonanza was on the tv)  but it felt friendly and the girl working the bar was real nice.  We each ordered a bowl of chili with cheese and onions and i couldn't believe my ears when she said it cost ONE DOLLAR.  I thought she meant the addition of cheese and onions was $1 but the whole bowl with everything was a buck!  And it wasn't bad!  Since it was really cold  and windy out - 50 degrees at 2 p.m. - i ordered a shot of sambuca to warm me up - $4.  I'm used to paying double that at any other place so that was great too.

Can't wait to go back.

Used to be great place. New owners couple years ago and went to heck. They can't fit the new dart boards cause ceiling is to short. If there's more then a handful of people it's standing room only. Oh yeah even the neighbors hate it.

Turn off the paved road of Kagel Canyon to Don's & Cyn's Hideaway and you've now entered California Western, circa 1900's.  The outside front is wooden, a wide boardwalk flanking the dusty street, a few wooden hitching posts, all that was missing were swinging entrance doors.

The Hideaway dive bar is quaint, maybe 9 comfy stools, and a small second room with more seating and stage for live music.  

I wouldn't attach the name grill to this place simply because theres no kitchen.  A small neon sign displays the grill "menu" offers 3 items: Nachos, grilled cheese and tomato soup and is easy to miss!

I couldn't help but notice we were the only ones that ordered food.  With that said the nachos were far from memorable, Ive had better nacho's in a movie theater.  I was hungry, didn't want to waste the food & so I ATE IT and washed it down with a cool brew! :X

What kept me at the bar was the music, I enjoyed listening to some Blue Grass over a Stella!  Also, the untraditional upside-down Christmas Tree was pretty clever!
