I have to say, that i adored this place. Â 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. Â Thank God a place like this still exists! Â
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.
Turn off the paved road of Kagel Canyon to Don's & Cyn's Hideaway and you've now entered California Western, circa 1900's. Â 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. Â
I wouldn't attach the name grill to this place simply because theres no kitchen. Â 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. Â With that said the nachos were far from memorable, Ive had better nacho's in a movie theater. Â 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! Â Also, the untraditional upside-down Christmas Tree was pretty clever!
