tripadvisorIf you do not like this bar then you do not understand Seattle! It is one of the best local only bars, with an immediate, wonderful visual experience and just plain fun. You will never know what music they will play, or what local artist has recently hung their work on the walls, plus the atmosphere and amazing vibe makes this a must experience hidden gem. Oh - and I haven't even mentioned the perfectly mixed craft cocktails.
MoreWe asked our server at Vido's if she could recommend a good bar close by. She sent us to the Hideout and I am glad she did. This is not a fancy bar by any stretch of the imagination, rather dark inside, but a very funky, local bar with a good mix of young and old patrons. We left about 10am on a Saturday and it was starting to get very busy. If you have a little adventure in you, check it out.
MoreMan, I love weird places. I walked by twice while specifically trying to find the place. Strange that there are only three other reviews on TripAdvisor for a place this cool, but then again maybe the folks who frequent the Hideout don't write reviews on TripAdvisor. The ambiance is great, dark, art-filled, and intriguing. There is a vending machine that dispenses bite-size chunks of art, and the walls are filled with bizarre but beautiful paintings. There are clip-boards filled with blank paper hanging on the wall for patrons to complete their own works that are collected and entered into some kind of magazine, and at the time there was also a bathroom selfie contest taking place that was for...well, best bathroom selfie. Of course, drinks and service are what matter to most and the quality of both exceeded expectations. Kudos and thanks to the staff.
MoreI love it here, the happy hour is incredible, and higher up in pricing are the craft cocktails they make. You can tell the bartender what sort of thing you normally like and they will create a dream in a coup for you! Not easily seen from the street, but totally worth the search. Plus great music and fun parties!
MoreRead recently a list of things to do in Seattle and this place was on the list. High walls covered with local artists. The wife loved the chandeliers that dimly lit the place. Classy music and quiet clientele during a Tuesday happy hour.
