Food was good and the drinks reasonable. Cook has no personality and no customer service.

I had a very negative experience at this establishment. The security guard was rude and unprofessional. After the bar closed, the manager approached me outside and harassed me, making me feel uncomfortable and unsafe. I felt that both the manager and security treated women unfairly, and it appeared that women who did not want to engage in conversation with them were targeted or banned. This behavior was inappropriate and unacceptable. read more

On December 27, 2025, my husband and I had a concerning experience at Hideaway Restaurant that I believe deserves attention and transparency. Upon our arrival around 10 minutes before 8 PM, we were asked for identification as we proceeded to the bar. Everything seemed fine until we left around 10:11 PM. As my husband retrieved his cigarettes from his coat pocket and grabbed our clear food container, a security guard, a heavy-set gentleman in a purple sweatshirt and blue jeans, without any visible identification or formal security apparel, hustled behind us, inquiring about a drink cup. Despite having food, we were treated with suspicion. A second security personnel member followed (Not schedule to work named Charles W.), dressed in casual street clothes without any visible identification or formal security apparel adding to the discomfort with an aggressive demeanor. I voiced my concern, stating, "We are not like that." This wasn't just an innocent misunderstanding; it felt like profiling. As my husband enjoyed his cigar, the second security guard continued to watch us, which was both unwarranted and unsettling. In an environment that claims to embrace Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, we saw none of that during our visit. Questions for the owner of Hideaway Restaurant: 1. Why do your security staff not wear recognizable uniforms or badges? How are patrons supposed to identify your security personnel? 2. What protocols are in place to ensure that all staff, especially security, are trained in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion standards? 3. How do you handle incidents of alleged profiling or discrimination, and what measures are taken to address such concerns? 4. Can you explain the training procedures for security personnel regarding interactions with patrons, especially in terms of recognizing and addressing possible biases? 5. What actions will you take to ensure that no other patrons experience what we did? 6. Are your security personnel certified and properly trained according to Maryland state regulations? We believe that everyone deserves to be treated with respect and dignity, irrespective of their background. I urge everyone who has faced similar issues to share their stories. Please share your thoughts and experiences as we stand together against harassment and discrimination! read more

Neighborhood spot...went for the karaoke after reading reviews. Friendly patrons and server. However, microphone waaaay too loud, especially when people sang. Was disappointed when I was told I couldn't order a side of fries. I would have had to purchase meat (don't eat meat), just to get fries...crazy. Pizza crust was stale, otherwise it would have been good. It's just okay. Not a bad spot to just hang out. read more

Went there today after hiking at Cosca Regional Park. The food was good and the staff and clientele friendly. Caution - this is a bar, not a family restaurant. That said, all good. Note that drinks are ordered at the bar and food via a QR code or ordering screen at the bar. I chose the latter and it was easy to use. We had a hamburger, cheese steak sandwich, chicken breast sandwich and catfish tenders, all good, and the fries very good. read more

Location Just off 5- Keep driving around the parking lit-you will find it. Not the pizza hut looking cigar place. Parking Large parking lot. Atmosphere Local bar. 3!pool tables. Band set up but none since covid. Great TV's all around and excellent sound system. Service Friendly, attentive, efficient. Food and beverage Full bar no hard seltzer. We had the fried whiting-HUGE portion-did not get it sandwich but the amount of fish could not fit into a sandwich. Lightly fried-not greasy-melts in your mouth. The old bay hot sauce-amazing!!! Tons of hushpuppies!!! Yum yum sauce also good. Summary Worth the drive around the parking lot to find this place. Great location! Hope to return! read more

I get why this is called "The Hideaway" LOL!!! GPS has you turning into KFC and it looks like that's the only thing in the parking lot, but if you look closely you see that it's quite a large lot and you need to drive behind the KFC! Clever, clever! My friend and I arrived, and it was quite interesting that the sign said 30+ only... my buddy just made it... a few months ago and he would've been too young XD. Anyways, our IDs were checked, and then we went to the bar. We saw that all the seats were full, so we decided to grab a table. There was plenty of space, and I noticed some pool tables in the back where people were playing... nice! Upon closer inspection, I saw that it was $2 per game and there was a money machine back there. There was a big sign on the wall with the NFL game schedule and some game day deals (like $3 beers), and that was cool. I could tell from the vibe of the spot that there wouldn't be someone coming to our table, so I went to the bar. I saw that a couple had a menu, so I asked to see it and they kindly obliged. They have GREAT prices on food! Burgers and sandwiches are literally $5+ depending on how complex they are... and there were standard bar appetizers and salads as well. Nothing super unique, but great prices for the most part. The bartender finally noticed me and asked if I was waiting to order... and when I said 'yes' she rudely told me not to stand in between people and wait in line. I had no idea there was a line (I genuinely didn't look over) and there was no sign indicating that you need to do so when the bar is full. I kindly apologized, saying it was my first time, but that initial reaction really didn't make a first impression for me. There were about 7 people in line (yikes), and it was kind of just cramming the bar space. After 5-10 minutes, the line didn't even budge... all the while, that same lady was calling out names for food, and quite honestly, the way she called them out was just furthering the not so good vibe for me. There's a way to shout kindly... you know? There was a lady in front of us that saw we had gone straight to the bar first and saw how the bartender had treated us... she apologized on her behalf and said that normally she's not the only one working and that sometimes she acts like that but ultimately she's a nice person. As I said earlier... not a great first impression. My friend and I decided to leave since it felt like we would be in line for at least a half hour... and would most likely have to do that for every order we wanted to make. I would be willing to come back on a day when it's not going to be so crowded to give it another chance, but I felt the need to share this experience. I am not sure if it's the same owners or not, but there is another 'Hideaway' in Odenton, but I chose this one because my friend was coming all the way from VA. I'll update if the opportunity presents itself. read more

The Hideaway is back open! Great little place tucked away. Great place to hang out and have some good food and drinks, very reasonable prices. Very friendly patrons and staff. read more

A great neighborhood Bar to relax, have fun, over 30 customers, and listen to great music! It's a shame for this establishment to have closed! read more

The old bay wings are TOP TIER!!! The cheesesteak was lacking salt pepper. Nice neighborhood bar. I would go back to play pool read more

Sundays are the ABSOLUTE BEST !!!!! CHEF V is the perfect chef for the turn up .... Our drinks were soooooooo darn good we had to order food to accompany and bayyyyyyybe she didn't disappoint!!

Okay local spot to get cocktails and appetizers. Calm atmosphere with an older clientele. Friendly bar staff. Would visit again. Oh they have a few pool tables if you want to play a game or two. read more

Nothing fancy but always enjoy the old school vibe, chicken wingsand drinks. Must be 30+

I use to love Hideaway but my recent visits haven't been so pleasant. There are normally 2 security guards at the door and the light skinned one is always nice and pleasant. The other tall one of darken complexion is always very rude. He constantly locks the doors, harasses me for my ID and smokes inside of the building when he promotes that this a non smoking establishment to the customers. I understand that there are rules to be followed but I've seen a lot of people turn away from your business when he's there. He's definitely not a good representation for your business. Hope this review gets into the right hands. Thank you. read more

So I came to Maryland for the Free Her march , and we decided we wanted to go somewhere for a drink , food and some music. Myself and three of my girls chose this bar / restaurant because it was close to our hotel (as we are tourist ) First the security was soo rude it made no sense. I realized i left my ID in my room and when i mentioned i had to get it he replied " I really dont care , your not getting in " then followed us out the door and locked the place down like we were intimidating a 6' something man . I would never return or reccomend this place . It actually turned us off , probably won't be back ever . read more

Tucked away near andrews airforce base, this little place has pool tables and karaoke, the space is dimly lit and spacious

Fun place to go for food and drinks. Staff is helpful friendly and protective of single ladies here.

I love this place, food and drinks bomb. The people are nice. my brother Big dave always go there he know everyone there

I was planning on visiting but I always look at reviews before I visit a new place. I won't be doing visiting and it's not because of the customer reviews it's because of the responses from whoever is in charge of their customer service department. I mean seriously whoever is responding to these customer reviews needs training in professionalism. SERIOUSLY READ THE RESPONSES FROM THIS PLACE WHEN THEY GET A LESS THAN SATISFACTORY REVIEW.sad Google reviews read more

I've been popping into this Clinton staple for those 30+. Heavy pours, good comfort food and a super casual vibe. Service is bar only though, so it can be a little tough to get a drink on their busier nights. read more

I wish I could give them a better rating but to be turned away because they man at the door thinks he saw me "drinking brown liquior" when I was clearly drinking Starbucks sitting next to the police! He said it was a sight of caution. When you have people coming a great distance to support you and to turn down your own people is just a disgrace! I will never support this place and I recommend don't drink ANYTHING directly in front don't drive more than 9 miles and smack the piss out the old geeky looking dude wearing glasses that looks like he should be working at a library that at the door! read more

The Hideaway - a car parked in a parking lot - Sports Bars Near Me - Clinton, Maryland

Been here a few times and thought I left a review. This is a nice Hideaway for great wings and their club sandwich is awesome. Bar service is friendly and the staff is welcoming. They treat you like a regular after your first visit. This is a good place to enjoy sports, eat and converse. There is usually a good pool game going on too so, bring your cue if you think you are good enough read more

Nice little hole in the wall spot. Food is good. Drinks are heavily poured. Awesome atmosphere. All different types of people. It's wonderful. Stop in and ask for a Dizzy Lizzy! You'll thank me later. Lol read more

This place I really enjoyed myself, I'm not a party goer, but I did enjoy myself. It was packed but I understand its not always like this, on the night i wernt it was standing room only. They have karaoke, which I really enjoyed, some people actually had talent, nice spot will be going back. read more

Best grilled ham and cheese I have ever had in my life. Classic, crispy, fresh ham, melty cheese. What else could you want? Jalapeño poppers with melty cream cheese. The jalapeño didn't even slide out after one bite because it's constructed and cooked to perfection. Service attentive and welcoming. No ragerts read more

What's not to love about hideaway? The drinks are strong, wings are bomb and the music is good! That's everything I've ever wanted in life. No, but seriously, this is a chill spot that has a lot of regulars and great drinks. I think they have Karaoke, but I'm not sure what day of the week it is. There's a few pool tables scattered about and a good amount of seating at the bar. I love a good hole in the wall type of spot that has strong drinks so I have ZERO complaints. I've been here a hand full of times and I always order the old bay wings and fries they are to die for!!! If you are like me and love a good 'ole hole in the wall this is definitely a place to check out! read more

The Hideaway - Old bay wings - Sports Bars Near Me - Clinton, Maryland

See all

Where do I start? Aiight so.. it's a typical hole in the wall so don't expect too much. Old school vibe so everything is brown and dark. It feels like everything in this bih is dirty but u feel at home *shrug* Drinks are strong AF. Didn't try the food ... that's for next time lol read more

Hole in the wall where there is no drama, great service and friendly socializing. Wings, fried shrimp, delicious french fries and drinks!!!! Lets goooooooooo! read more

First time and last time visiting this place. Went on a Sunday about 6:30pm. The place looks as though it could use some major renovations, everything is old. The bathrooms are not clean either, they are practically falling apart. Flooring was chipped and peeling, parts of the wall missing and exposed pipes and ceiling tiles missing. There was a nice size crowd there (must be the regulars) at the bar mostly. There are a few pool tables, if that's your thing. They were occupied most of the night. A few flat screens to watch the football games but no sports package so, you will only watch the televised games on local channels. I gave it two stars because the bartender was a nice guy. read more

I ended up at The Hideaway by tagging along with a friend who frequents the place. It is definitely appropriately named; there's no way I would have ever stumbled upon this place by accident. It sits far back from the road, directly behind some other businesses, so you really have to just know that it's there. The Hideaway is your typical neighborhood bar. There's nothing about the place that you can call fancy but that is what adds to its charm. It definitely draws an older crowd and on a Friday night, it's pretty packed. Arriving around 8 PM and it was impossible to grab two sets at the bar. The drinks provide your standard bar options (and I was happy to see that they offered hard cider) and the bartenders were very attentive,even though they stayed busy. The place charges $5 to enter after 9 PM (even if you arrive prior to and leave to say, retrieve something from your car, you'll have to pay to get back in) and while the cost is negligible, I'm not sure I'd be willing to pay it. If you're looking for a laid back, no frills spot, then definitely head to the The Hideaway. read more

Local spot, like Cheers. Everybody knows your name. It's not fancy, new or modern. But, it's about the people, the times you have. The memories you create. Well, this place isn't going to conjure any vanglorious memories. Just come get a drink, listen to some music and get a little bite to eat. There's a supposed cover charge after 8pm or so. There is also security present. They have an open floor where you can perform karaoke, and have a small dj booth. read more

This is a really decent, no frills sort of place to hang out for a low key night of fun. I visited this place on a whim with a friend while looking for something to do on a rainy night. When we first arrived we noticed it is on the small side, and is definitely not fancy but the people seemed to be enjoying themselves. There are a few pool tables, televisions, a long bar and a small area for bands to set up and play/dance floor. We were lucky enough to stop by on Karaoke night, which ended up bringing in a full house. It was $5 after 9pm to enter if I'm not mistaken. The food was very reasonably priced and the drinks were about average for the what is expected in the area. We ordered chicken wings, which were huge and delicious. After Karaoke ended, the DJ (who was pretty good by the way) played a diverse selection of music and many people danced. We ended up having a blast. Very good sized crowd, everyone was 21+ and there was no trouble or fighting. All be back again at some point! read more

LOVED THIS SPOT!!! I've lived in Clinton my whole life and never knew about this place til yesterday (my girl birthday).. The food was great, bartenders mad cool, and the music was on point! We had drinks and did karaoke.. They also have pool tables! I'm definitely going back! read more

The Hideaway - Sports Bars Near Me - Clinton, Maryland

RATCHET! unprofessional and rude. That was the first time. Second time was a grubhub order. They kept giving me updates and telling me my order would be late... but they were closed for business for the next week. When the Grubb driver showed up, they laughed at him. I won't be spending money here again. read more

Hole in the wall and the wall is connected to a ghetto/country jukejoint. Funny, but I liked it. Dress code, no. Check for weapons, not really. Shared parking with a church, yes. Karaoke, double check (some people were supremely talented and could flat out sang [yes...sang]). Cheap drinks, check. Strong drinks, check. Seedy regulars, "dem bama's" check check. Too loud DJ, check. Old school players, Romey Rome in the House, check. Classy foxy ladies (somebody's granny), check. Stuck up females, not a check...everyone was easy going and in the mood to party. Good ass wings, check check (some of the best for late night at a bar in the boonies off in the cut). Clean bathrooms, clean enough for a place with Ciroc and Grand Marnier for less than $10. Fancy, hell no. This is a down home good time for not a lot of money. People watching (and shaking your head at them) prime spot. If you feel like you are old and out of style, come here to get that feeling that maybe I am not as bad as I thought. Just know what this place is. A down home spot for the average Joe and Jane to unwind and have a funky good time. When I went I saw the least amount of smart phone pic taking I have seen in years. No reason why I should like this place but I did. Now, if only you can find it. GPS will recalculate you down the wrong roads. read more

First time here and it was a good experience. People were distanced and areas cleaned when people left. Grey wings and the truffle fries are bomb! Friendly bartender with nice strong drinks. I'll definitely be back. read more

My favorite chill spot after work. My fav bartender Glen already has my drink poured by the time i sit down. Damn good wings.

Ok, to be clear, please don't show up expecting a 5 star restaurant! But for a nice hole in the wall, where everybody knows your name, this is the place to be. 3 pool tables (there are a few regular pool professionals - don't bet with them - you'll lose. ) All drinks were $6, chicken was good, and staff was quick and friendly. What more could you ask for in a local watering hole? read more

I don't understand for the life of me why my friends like to hang out at this spot. There is always some crazy issue with the staff, the dj, or the police officers that work there. I tried to give this place another shot in spite of the bad experiences that I've had there, but like always the customer service is just a mess. Last night my friend paid for a dinner that we never received. And when I tried to explain to them that they gave our order to someone else the chef got nasty with me. It is just completely dishonest and unethical to take someone's money without giving them what they paid for or their money back. But whatever life has a way of giving folks their comeuppance. I wouldn't suggest this dump to anyone, it is full of cheats and creeps. But hey, if that is your thing have fun. read more

I had a blast at this place. Road past it for years and finally decided to go in once I was invited by a friend. They have a good specialty drink and karaoke. Needless to say one thing led to another and I had to be carried home. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Go there and have a great time. read more
