DMV, if you're looking for bomb honey lemon pepper wings, strong drinks, good music, karaoke practically any night of the week AND somewhere chill without driving into DC, you need to visit The Hideout--a dive bar located in Laurel, MD! The Hideout has been around for years, so if you know, you know! The prices are pricing, and y'all know I love a good deal. Friday and Saturday nights tend to be the busiest, but it's also a cool spot to stop by during the week after work. Karaoke is five nights a week--every night except Tuesday and Thursday--and happy hour is Monday through Friday from 3-7 p.m., with discounted wings, sliders and drinks. And for my sugar babies looking for their next piece of sugar, you might want to check them out too. You know they got moniesssss out Howard County! Now, distance-wise, this one might not be for everybody. It's on the Howard County side of Laurel, so if you know your tags are dead, don't come--you will get bagged! #dmvrestaurants #laurelmd #dmvnightlife #karaokenight #foodtiktok read more

"The Hideout" is a fitting name for an establishment that's ducked off on a line of small stores. I instantly noted that this place was a daily local favorite and most patrons were interacting with a high level of familiarity. The energy level is high, with pool tables through out and sports talk in abundance ( definitely a great environment to watch a game !! ) I sat at the bar area and was greeted with respect and professionalism. The bartenders here are awesome and they come with wicked pours.... Yes !!! Drinks here are absolutely on point and not for the faint of heart. Now what floored me, was how good the chicken tenders were ( which is the dish I opted for ) I'm talking best ever tenders talk for sure... not too greasy, but crispy, tender with the perfect sauce. And the fries were seasoned to perfection ( like... really good ! ) I'm already planning a cool Football Sunday outing during the season here... See you soon Hideout !!! FYI: the 5-stars are very fitting when you compare this spot to others in the same category ( cool, down to earth, lively with a lot of moving pieces and lit !! ) read more

I went here on a random Saturday after simply put, my friends and I weren't ready to go home yet lol. We arrived around 10p on a Saturday night during football preseason and 100000%, you can kiss the expectation of having a seat or table available to you, right away. Luckily for me and my party, we were around long enough that someo other table left and then, we were able to have our own space. Before that, I was literally bouncing in between the 1-tv that showed the football game that I was interested in and the corner of the pool table, where the entertainment/karaoke side is. On to the drinks, they were good! The bartender was a blessing to the evening. The food, we were not able to get as the kitchen was opened during the later hours - our party just didn't get our desired table space til later in the night when we were almost ready to go. Parking, I there are designated spots within the shopping center (of course occupied by other shops' parking), but I personally would park on the far opposing end of The Hideout & walk over with your crew. Overall, it was not a bad experience. I believe this was my first time coming & wouldn't mind coming again, indeed to try the food, but DEF. earlier in the evening. read more

While visiting a friend nearby, he boasted about The Hideout with incredible food, drinks, and a lowkey vibe. I was looking forward to indulging! It was late morning/early afternoon so brunch was in order. Per his recommendation, we ordered fried deviled eggs. My first time having such a delicious creation!!! Every bite more succulent than the last. And for our afternoon libations, we ordered honey jack & ginger ale on ice. I also decided to try their french toast, which was the only lackluster dish I had. I wouldn't order that again. But sign me up immediately for the rest! read more

Been here a few times over the years. Stopped in on a SUNDAY, around 8pm. Place was semi packed! Good music. Bartendar was really helpful. Tall guy. Thankfully we got a table as soon as we walked in, someone was walking out in the main bar area. Nachos were good. They also had karaoke that night! Bathrooms are less than desired. Parking out front, on the side of behind the building. read more

I went here the other night with some friends and they took care of our party. While there is limited parking at this place. It reminds you of a local bar watering hole to unwind after work. There is alot of TVs and a pool table. Some nights its game nights and a DJ is there. The drinks are great and the wings are just right. If you are a wing person this is the place for you! read more

I pulled up to the spot for a birthday gathering after hearing a few people call The Hideout the place to go, and they weren't lying. You come for the drinks, but you'll end up staying for the atmosphere. The pours are generous so if you're coming with friends, bring a designated driver. You'll definitely get your money's worth. I ordered the fried deviled eggs because so many people recommended them and now I get it. Crispy, seasoned just right, and way better than I expected. They went real well with those strong drinks. I hear the wings are really good as well! The crowd had real local energy in the best way. No pretentious vibes, just friendly people and a laid back atmosphere. It feels like one of those "if you know, you know" spots. If you plan on stopping by, come early. Parking fills fast and once the bar gets moving seats disappear read more

I ordered take out when I got home my order was wrong. I ordered 10 wings 5 mambo 5 spicy garlic. And a separate 5 wing wings old bay. I got 15 old bay. I tried to call the restaurant twice but no one answered. read more

5:00 on the nose and the bar was full, SHEESH! And it's not on the smaller end either, it seats like 15 people. I had tried to come to this bar one night because I knew they were doing karaoke, and that was a mistake... the parking lot was completely full. I didn't even realize how large it was -- I had to park somewhere in the back and walk over. I had a friend go on ahead and he said it was completely packed in there. Fast forward to more recently, I planned to meet up with friends there, and that's when I was surprised to see a full bar at 5:00. There are some high tables around the bar and even those were occupied. There's a second room with several more high tables, a DJ booth, and a pool table. That side was completely empty, so that's where our party of 4 had to go. Regardless of where you sit, you must order at the bar. Their happy hour is a pretty darn good deal -- eats start at $3, and strong drinks like long islands are only $6. I got the mango habanero wings -- that's a favorite flavor of mine that never lets me down. And flavor aside, their wings are great! I was surprised when a DJ took over around 6:00 on a Tuesday! We were sitting very close to the booth, and once he started, it got REALLY loud. Thankfully, we were able to move to the other side near the bar when a table freed up. The place is definitely a neighborhood staple and a total vibe, but I do not recommend showing up at a later time. It's going to be packed! And from what I can tell, it doesn't matter what day of the week it is. read more

I love this place. It's a hole in the wall with delicious food a really good DJ and vibe is amazing!!!

This is the spot that my husband and I met! Neither one of us were looking for love, but found it at the Hideout lol. I say that to say it is such a welcoming and fun environment that now knowing the establishment well I am not surprised I found my husband. The food is great! The people are welcoming and fun! It just feels like home. And if you enjoy a cocktail, this is the place for you. I am a supporter of black owned businesses and this is one of my favorites! read more

I am extremely disappointed by the experience I had at The Hideout Sports Bar. A family member had been telling me about this place for quite some time and encouraging me to visit, especially for karaoke. When I finally stopped by, I actually enjoyed myself. I liked the atmosphere, the energy, and the overall vibe. I even thought it was somewhere I would return to regularly, especially after learning that it was a black-owned business. As someone who intentionally supports black-owned businesses whenever possible, I was excited to have discovered a new place to support. Unfortunately, that changed at the end of the night. As closing time approached, I was standing with a glass of wine in my hand when, to my surprise, a member of the security staff (tall African American man with locs) randomly walked up to me and took the drink directly out of my hand. There was no "Excuse me." No "Ma'am, we're closing, I'll give you a few seconds to finish your drink, then you have to leave." No polite request to finish my drink and make my way out. Nothing! I completely understand that businesses have closing times. That is not my issue. My issue is the complete lack of respect and professionalism in the way the situation was handled. There was absolutely no reason for anyone to remove a drink from my hand without first speaking to me. A simple conversation would have accomplished the exact same result. Instead, the interaction felt rude, unnecessary, disrespectful, and honestly insulting. What bothered me most was how easily the situation could have been handled differently. A customer who is calmly standing with a drink in her hand should not be treated as though she is incapable of understanding a simple request. Respectful communication costs nothing! As someone who makes a conscious effort to support black-owned businesses, this experience was especially disappointing. I walked into The Hideout wanting to support the establishment and left feeling more disrespected than I have ever felt at any business I have patronized. After sharing my experience with a few individuals, I was surprised to learn that more than one person reported having negative interactions with the same security guard. I can only speak to my own experience, but hearing similar stories from others makes me wonder whether this behavior is an ongoing issue rather than an isolated incident. It is unfortunate that the actions of one employee completely changed my perception of what otherwise appeared to be a great establishment. One employee's behavior was enough to ensure that I will not return. I do not spend my money where I am treated with disrespect, spoken down to, or handled as though I am a child! I sincerely hope management takes this feedback seriously because no customer should be treated this way. Respect is the bare minimum when interacting with paying customers, and this entire situation could have been avoided with a simple, polite request. Please train your staff to do better! read more

I had a great experience at The Hideout! The service was incredibly sweet--two ladies and a gentleman behind the bar took such good care of me and were truly top-tier. The food? Chef's kiss. My fish sandwich came out perfectly cooked and full of flavor. I was a bit rushed since I was heading to catch a flight to BWI, but this was the perfect stop before the airport. The atmosphere was just right and the vibe was definitely on point. I'd absolutely recommend this spot--The Hideout might have just gained a new regular! read more

Cool happy hour spot with pool tables, wing specials and nicely poured drinks. The service is great. They have experienced bartenders who can pretty much make anything. The ambiance is cool it's semi older crowd. They have nice music at night which creates a different atmosphere and also have some special events like comedy shows occasionally. Parking can be tight sometimes. Once the other stores in the shopping plaza close the parking opens up. read more

Nice lil hole in the wall happy hour spot. Great drink prices for bottom shelf. Lemon pepper wings weren't bad. My key take aways are The DJ sucked. Played nothing but old people cookout music. I couldn't get jiffy with it. They literally have one person working. My man was taking orders, making the drinks, cashing people out, and running the food out. Severely short staffed. read more

I will start this review on a positive, the food at this place is excellent. Especially for Bar food, some favorites are the deviled eggs and the wings. Drinks are strong and priced well. I went on a Friday night around 10pm and it was busy. My friends and I initially grabbed a space at the bar to try and order food but this proved to be a lot harder than we thought. Bartenders need to work on their customer service. Waiting 5+ mins just to be acknowledged whilst they stand in the corner is disrespectful. Additionally a lot of them seemed under the influence. I can say that I will give this place another try because of their food and beverage but for no other reason. read more

All went well with this neighborhood gem. Sharina our mixologist was welcoming and created mature pours for even the simplest cocktails. The atmosphere was reminding of "Cheers" the '80s sitcom and most patrons were known on a first name basis. I love it here was my echoing statement of the night! The food, cleanliness and service was epic! read more

Best wings in town!! Hands down.. The now have karaoke nights which was pretty cool. Drinks were ok nothing to rave about. But those wings were delicious cooked perfectly.. a little pricey for 5 wings but they were worth it. Small spot with a bar, pool table, several high top tables, DJ Check them out they have open mic comedy nights every 1st Thursday of the month too. read more

Able to figure out it is a very popular place from my 30 seconds there. Full by 6pm on Friday. Patrons are not welcoming to give you any space, even if there are open spots, claiming all open spots are only for their friends. Don't go if you're not local or not meeting someone people there know. read more

Nice bar with good food. Definitely loved the fries, chicken wings and fried mushrooms. Had a decent experience with the price paid.

We went to the Hide Out as an impromptu date and were not disappointed. The place was crowded, but we could still order our drinks and wings without a long wait. The DJ was good and played songs that made me dance and reminisce on my old college days. read more

This is the definition of a hole in the wall. It was a bit chilly inside , limited seating, and could use a bit of updating. I was there to celebrate a friend's birthday and they had a comedy night. The redemption was the beautiful bartender and the burger I had. Not sure if I would go back again but overall I did enjoy myself. read more

BE CAREFUL of the rift raft. I was attacked and jumped inside and outside of this bar on friday. I had my gun stolen and security shady. Dont think you are safe because the cameras inside dont work. I believe they saw me by myself and saw an opportunity to steal from in an unprovoked altercation. Security targeted me instead of the aggressors and I feel it was a setup. I know the security gaurd with the dreads stole my gun, just found this fools flashlight in my purse.This clown made a whole lie of claiming it fell out of my purse on the ground. Turning it into the police. God dont like ugly! This bar is not safe at all. Tried to speak to the owner and she doesn't care. I bet she is in on it too. Why you aint got the cameras on? No one deserves to get jumped and their belongings stolen... and stop lying about what happened and quit trying to tarnish my good name. You will get sued for defamation. Try me. Keep my name out your mouth. I hate cowards and thieves. Tell your little friends who jumped me they better lay low...police is on yall behind. read more

Stay away from the hideout if you want a drink and a bite to eat. It is chaotic and significantly understaffed! Ordering a drink requires much effort and involves jockeying for position to get the one bartender's attention, which takes a long time. Good luck. Oh, and the one bartender also serves the food for the entire place, so there is no one at the bar half the time. So bad. And don't even make an effort to order food. Ours never arrived after waiting for an hour. We finally had it and checked out; of course, our food order was on the check and had to be removed because, as I said, we were waiting for an hour and got nothing! There are much better places that are adequately staffed, where you don't have to fight to order, and where you actually receive what you ordered. Imagine that. read more

Came here as a recommendation from a friend. It's a neighborhood staple for several years according to the locals in there. They have karaoke and pool tables but the best part was in my opinion the food! Ordered lemon pepper wings and seasoned fries; the wings were seasoned to the bone like they were injected with seasoning or something , crispy like I like them and overall outstanding, the fries were seasoned as well. My friend ordered the fried deviled eggs which to her they were okay but the total effect wasn't tasted with one bite. The drinks are definitely good I hate ghat I don't remember the bartender she is one of the reasons I will return. The hideout gives me Cheers vibes where everyone knows you. Well worth the 30 minute drive and will be returning soon. read more

Got here at 9pm. Got a table that was dirty with another groups checks and old drinks on the table. Husband got drinks at bar and was told someone would come and clean our table. At 10pm exactly the waitress comes to our table and says they are no longer offering the full menu, only the late night menu, which was significantly smaller and didn't have the entrees and appetizers that we wanted. How convenient. Can't review any food because we never got any. Oh and our table was finally cleared at 10pm as well. read more

This spot is definitely a "hole in a wall" place. Drinks were great...food was good... but there didn't seem to be any servers... the table tops were dirty when I got there... cleaned it off myself. I took off two stars just because of that. The vibe though was 10/10. I think I'll give it one more shot... maybe it was an off day. read more

Sharina was our bartender. This is a place for locals and regulars which was very obvious however we were truly welcomed from our bartender buying one of our apps for us to try to the gentleman who covered a round. If this place wasn't so far from my job it would become my regular after a long stressful day of work. I ordered the jerk chicken tenders with rice and broccoli. I appreciated how everything is fresh including the pinwheel fries and mushrooms. I love hot food. Sharina was attentive and makes a great drink. Also the food is priced well read more

So glad I came here - a friend told me about it a few months ago and I had it bookmarked! I must say, this place can be a lil hidden if you're not paying attention...my GPS kept telling "you have arrived" and I did not see it at all (also it was pretty dark out). Parking in front of the bar is tight, but there is actually additional parking around the back which I didn't see until I parked a lil further down. I was starving after a long day and I ordered a chicken quesadilla appetizer and some wings. The quesadillas were a full meal size! The wings were delicious - yummy in my tummy and no it wasn't because I was so hungry. They really were that good! The happy hour actually goes until 8 p.m. Our server, Femi was awesome - very attentive and personable! Kudos!! Can't wait to come back here. They have a DJ and there are also pool tables! And they serve breakfast here - this is going to be my new spot : ) read more

I've been scoping the place since the beginning of the pandemic after moving to Laurel and wanting to find a local bar. I finally made it out and had a good time! It's clear they have regulars and everyone was having fun. Happy hour prices are great and even though I don't usually eat meat, I tried the wings because of the reviews and the lack of menu options for me. The flavor was good, but I wish they were fried harder. Will make the request next time if I order food, but will likely eat before going. Our bartender was really nice and My friend and I have decided to make it our new spot for music and drinks. read more

This place is a nice hidden gem. The thing that has them falling short of 5 stars is how tight it is inside. You can really breathe or sit near the bar. The room that they have on the other side is more comfortable to sit and enjoy yourself (but you still have to walk over to the bar to enjoy). Other than this the food that I got was delicious. The drinks were also strong and you really can't beat those happy hour prices. For these reasons I will definitely be going back to the Hideout! read more

On a Friday night (11:30PM) I was invited by a friend I havent seen in 20 years to join him to have some drinks here. I arrived not knowing what to expect. I thought it was going to be a Country Music/Biker Bar with locals. The exact opposite they had a DJ playing Trap/Hiphop music. They had flat screen TVS and pool tabes. This is one of the places you cant judge on the outside. The security at the door was cool and the bartenders were friendly. I dont remember the drink specials. I was tipsy when I left so I will be back to do another yelp review. Priorto coming I heard Yelp reviews that the Fried Devilish Eggs are a must eat... Yes they are a must have. Highly Recommeded I will defiinitely go back for them and try some other bites. Delicious Great Bar food. read more
