Review Source:GET YER HOMEMADE GINGER ALE, HIDEAWAY STYLE.
True story: I strolled in here on a Sunday evening with a friend, jukebox was blasting (I mean it was on eleven) Led Zepplin, Foo Fighters and there were maybe about six or seven patrons (local regulars for sure) chilling at the bar. My friend ordered us two Jamesons and...get this...ginger ale. (scoff) As if you need to add ANYTHING to Jameson. But whateves the guy's from Yorba Linda, and he didn't grow up with a dad so it's understandable. The bartender said they didn't have ginger ale but she could make it. Coca cola + Sprite for the win.
We also each enjoyed a Captain Morgan and coke. Both drinks were tasty, well-poured, and five to six bucks each. Location is very, very divey. There's a pool table in the back and plenty of seating. Good spot to chill after work, or pre-game but maybe not the kind of place you'd find your soulmate or anything. The search continues for this yelper...
Sunday: After finding a sweet, if not THE sweetest parking spot that any human being could possibly find. My friend and I walked into this cozy little, what's the word...Oh yeah, Hideaway. Upon entering, one can smell many a fights, drunken quarrels over which of the bartender's boobs is bigger, and a strange longing for times past when the Confederate South reigned supreme.
But in spite of this, it has a very welcoming feel to it. We trudged in, and sat at one of the high tables with a magnificent view of the bar. A football game was on, not too sure who was playing, but one team did win. There were a small batch of older regulars going about their usual Sunday night, and a small group of younger hoodlums on the long table next to us. As for the rest of the bar, it was empty.
My friend decided to buy our first round, and ordered us Captain and Coke...PuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuLease! Originality isn't her strong suit, but the drink was had, and enjoyed.
After indulging I then got up to get us a drink...Ordered us a Jameson and ginger, okay so maybe originality isn't my strong suit either, but whatever! That's what happens when you're Fatherless in Yorba Linda...which is the title of my up and coming memoir.
But I digress.
When I ordered the drink the bartender shot me down by informing me that they do not have ginger ale. As the tears begin to surface alongside the memories of my days in an all girl's Catholic school for boys, the bartender decided to cheer me up by stating that she can make ginger ale.
To which I said: "Are you Heisenberg...?"
She looked vexed, and told me it was just Sprite and Coca-Cola. Apparently she wrote her thesis paper on mixing the two for her Master's in remedial elementary chemistry at Long Beach Polytechnic High School.
The concoction was okay, tasted more like coke and Jameson than ginger ale, but it got the job done, and we were left satisfied. My friend's drink was much stronger, which was okay because I was trying to get her to blackout, and I am assuming the bartender knew that because I had my creeper gaze on the whole time.
It's a cool dive bar with a down-to-earth atmosphere, nothing fancy, just regular people talking about a hard day's work in the coal mines. Cheap drinks, and music playing everything from classic rock to modern rock.
Definitely would do it again.
Like this place a lot
Its very homey
Lots and lots of parking space, just watch for the drive way its hidden and theres a bit of an incline
Once you walk in its a surprise how small the actual bar area is
The beer selection isn't the greatest but the people are great
They have pool and darts (like any typical bar does)
THE OUTSIDE SEATING AREA IS MY FAVORITE!!!
It has white Xmas like lights all around and wooded benches
The outside atmosphere is amazing
Highly recommend to check it out
Love The Hideaway. Â None of those fancy guns that dispense tonic water, club soda, etc. Â We get 2litre bottles. Â And I am more than okay with this. Â They pour them heavy, charge them light, and serve with a smile. Â You must know ahead of time. Â This is purely a drinking establishment. Â I've seen drunken hookups, fisticuffs, and injuries occur here. Â What makes this place special to me personally is the purity in it. Â A very mixed crowd, with a very mixed selection of music from the jukebox, but we're all here for the same reason. Â We want to get drunk and enjoy ourselves. Â Period. Â End-o-story. Â I don't think I've ever not surpassed my drinking limit here, at least just a little bit. Â Not much in the area of atmosphere or flair, but damnit, it's always a good time.
Not for the weekend warrior, or the type that goes to "da cluuub."
This is some Bukowski shit going on here. Â And I love it.
And I have to retract my previous statement about the restrooms and general state of cleanliness here. Â I was just there two nights ago and they now have a health code grade of "A"
Restrooms are totally redone and even smell slightly pleasant, opposed to downright intolerable in the past. Â The fact that they've made the effort and investment to clean up a bit makes me enjoy the place even more. Â By the way, the fuzz were posted up in the back parking lot trying to catch some drunk drivers. Â So the owner, Larry I believe is his name, kept the place open longer to allow for his customers to sober up a bit. Â Thanks Waylon Jennings!
I wanna catch the wednesday night jam session.
so since I go mid day drinking meet a few locals had a few beers it was dead lonely kind of vibe with regulars. Second try I check it out at night its packed and that was a lot of young (can you smoke in  there) crowd. I left after I got my drink spilled on me and went down the way t othe blue dog.
Review Source:After stopping by the Snug Harbor and seeing how crowded it was on a Friday night (ridiculous for that place), we decided to go to the Hideaway. My friend has been there many times but it was my first time. We walked in and there was a total of 8 people between the pool table and the bar. It was the Hawaiian theme night. Once we sat down at the bar, the bartender was very friendly. She told us about all the specials and gave us each a lei. The jukebox was playing a mix of currently popular songs, country, and those oldies but goodies. Because we like all of that, we minded our own business and just sang along with the music and made conversation amongst ourselves.
I eventually had to pee and went off to the bathroom. O so nasty. I like dive bars so I have experienced a lot of nasty bathrooms but this one takes the cake. I suggest peeing before you get there and not peeing til you leave. It was probably more sanitary to pee outside than inside.
Now as to the people, its definitely the bros and bro-hoe's discussed in other reviews of this place. While I ignored them, they definitely run that place and think that they are hot as shit. I think people forgot to mention that the 909 should stay in the 909. However, anyone we came into contact with were friendly.
I recommend this place if you like dive bars, you live close, you want a cheap strong drink and you arent scared of bros. Three star rating only because the bartender was so outstanding.
EWW EWWW EWWW EWW is all I have to say! I was dragged there one night by some friends and honestly this place is disgusting! The night crowd is a young crowd, but it's made up of bros and bro-hoes. From what I hear, everyone who goes there is a regular...but I'm not sure why. I know it's a dive bar but damn! I was afraid someone would hit me on the back of the head with a bottle at any minute. Basically, if you're bro or bro hoe, an old man, or part of  the garbage pail of lakewood high school alumni, you'll enjoy this place. Anyone else just shudders at the thought of it! The only good things I have to say is that the drinks were cheap and the bartender was a sweetheart.
Review Source:i ended up accompanying my buddy to make some glassware purchases at the store next door on a sunday afternoon. Â as all shopping excursions should ideally end, we decided to step in to replenish our souls.
snuggly trimmed in wood walls and adorned with vintage beer-related memorabilia, it's a dive bar in all its glory. Â the service was adequate, seeing as how we requested beers and seconds later the beer was flowing.
in typical dive bar fashion, the bar sported a couple plastic dart machines and a juke box to those musically inclined. Â it also seems that the bar has the usual regulars. Â although we didn't talk to any of them, they seemed friendly enough, allowing us to toss a few back in their home away from home.
there it is, the quick and dirty lowdown. Â for some odd reason, though, i feel like i'm not doing this bar any justice. Â but hey, a dive bar is a dive bar is a dive bar. Â it's the atmosphere itself that defines a dive. Â unfortunately, you have to go there to experience the atmosphere itself.
I'm giving the Hideway 5 stars because it is 5 stars in my book....why? because I can walk there! No DUIs for me! This place is a total dive bar, it's really gross. I only go when my friend comes into town because she knows everyone there. Everytime we go there is a fight, usually some old chick beating on her man for one reason or another. I suggest you sit with your back to the wall and throw back shots because you need to sterilize your system in case you need to use the bathroom. Us girls go in pairs because there is a hole in the second bathroom door, so you have to hover over the seat while also pinning the side of your foot over the hole to (1) cover the hole (2) keep people from walking in because there is also no lock. If you get home without contracting "the hep" congratulations, you just survived the Hideaway. =)
Review Source:Hahaha...The dive bar that dives to the depths of Hell.  Dark, dingy and smelly.  I've been going to this place for about 6 years.  In the beginning I used to hear rumours about it being a "tweaker bar", drug deals going on in the back parking lot, and lots of fights.  Years ago, it did have more of a "Locals Only"  intimidating kinda feel and you'd get the stink eye if you were new to the place.  Everyone used to smoke inside, so you'd  leave there smelling like an abandoned cars ashtray.  Over time, the owner Mike cleaned up the place, so to speak.  He started hiring better looking bartenders, 86'd some bad element.  With the new bartenders that are in college, came the college students, d-bags, and so on.  The crowd has changed a lot at night, but the regulars are still there as well.  Oh, and be warned, this place has THE WORST men's restroom in the world.  When they remodeled, they tiled over the floor drain, and the ceiling vent is broken so it reaks of corpse piss.  You'll walk out dry heaving..guaranteed, haha.  The prices are cheap, the drinks are stiff, and once you get to know the girls, they may slip you a shot or two.  The owner Mike passed away recently and the new owners don't allow smoking anymore.  5 stars because it's a TRUE dive bar, and Mikey was the best.
