Love the horror theme and they play horror movies on the TVs. Definitely a touristy kind of place. They have video games and specialty drinks. There are mocktales and shots, but really they taste about the same, super sweet. I loved there selection of craft beer in the cans and bottles. Definitely worth a visit if you are looking for a cool way to spend a few hours.

Came to The Hideaway to watch a football game with a group of friends. We were able to get a table…read moreand there were plenty of TVs around, so it was easy to watch the game from where we were sitting. We had to order at the bar, but I'm not sure if that was because it was busy or if that's typical. I ordered the chicken quesadillas, which were very large and cheesy. The chicken itself didn't have a ton of flavor, but thankfully they served salsa and jalapeños on the side, which helped add some flavor.

Had an early morning follow-up doctor's appointment the other day and received the news everyone…read morewants to hear, a clean bill of health and a "keep doing what you're doing." Naturally, I celebrated by heading to Hideaway for breakfast. While I'm not a regular, I've been visiting Hideaway for years. The original location across the street had a classic smoke-filled dive bar atmosphere, and I could tell stories all day about memorable experiences there. Those stories are best saved for another time. The new location is unquestionably an upgrade in comfort and appearance, though it lacks some of the character and smoke that made the old place so memorable. Fortunately, the things that matter most remain intact. The beer is still ice cold, the drinks are solid, and the food is consistently above average at prices that are hard to argue with. This particular morning, I grabbed a seat at the bar and took advantage of their $5 breakfast burrito (available before 9 AM). The menu lists bacon or ham as protein options, but I was also offered sausage, which I happily chose along with the eggs and cheese. I'm glad I did. The sausage was nicely rendered with crisp edges that delivered little flavor bombs throughout the burrito. Wanting to dress things up a bit, I asked for pico de gallo. My server laughed and replied, "This is a dive bar," before offering salsa instead. Fair enough. The salsa, combined with a generous squeeze of their hot sauce, turned out to be exactly what the burrito needed. In fact, it was so good I briefly considered ordering a second one to go. Then I could practically hear my doctor whispering in my ear, advising restraint, so I reluctantly passed. For those unfamiliar with Hideaway, it's also a major Miami Dolphins fan destination. Whether you're a Dolphins fan or not, I highly recommend experiencing one of their game-day watch parties at least once. The atmosphere is electric and one of the more unique sports-viewing experiences around. My only minor gripe was being charged an extra dollar for the small container of salsa, and it wasn't even pico de gallo. Not enough to ruin an otherwise enjoyable visit, but enough to earn a raised eyebrow. Overall, a great breakfast, a little nostalgia, and a fitting way to celebrate a positive doctor's visit.

It has a friendly atmosphere and the people here were all welcoming and quick to strike up conversation. The staff here is extremely attentive, even when the bar got busy. They were really good about making sure everyone was tended too with drinks and food. From what I could gather, a few of the owners were there and were walking around and introducing themselves to people and thanking them for coming out. Little things like this go a long way and make me want to keep coming back. The drinks here were also great and well priced. They have hookah here too that was reasonably priced. If darts are your thing, they have two electronic boards near the rear of the bar. Can't wait to go back. I want to thank one of the owners; Spyro, for saying hello to Me and my friends and welcoming us. Hell of a bar, Will for sure be back next time I'm in town.

Side Bar is a Downtown Orlando staple. I've been venturing to this little hole-in-the-wall bar for…read morenearly a decade now, and I've watched it grow in popularity over the years to what it is now. While it is nothing like it used to be back when Vintage, Vyce, and some of the older bars/night lounges existed, it is still a solid spot. It has also SURVIVED the various neighboring bar changes throughout the years. The bartenders, throughout the years, have also been quite solid! I have a couple of favorites that I always look for when I visit. Even the doormen are cool people. They have resident DJs that play throughout the week and weekends - all are pretty good! The vibe is usually pretty chill. The nights when they are slower are my favorite because they can get pretty packed. Service is usually pretty great. From time to time, they have specials/deals. They offer nice, fairly affordable mid-shelf (or top-shelf) drink options (as well as well-drink options). They also offer hookahs, if you are into that. Please keep in mind that if you have cash on you, you can get the hookah at a discounted rate. They have a decent number of TVs if you are looking to watch any games. As the name suggests, it is a "side" bar, so seating there is limited, but it does make for more than enough on slower days/nights. They have great hours, and you can also order food from Gitto's next door at the bar counter. All in all, it is a good spot to add to bar-hop rotation or to just visit in general.

In fact, when we arrived here the musical group was on a break and the place was full. Once the band started up again, patrons started filing out, possibly due to how loud they were playing. By the time they got to their 3rd song, the place was about 1/2 empty.

I dare say 10/10 if you're a Gators fan for sure but hey... you cannot just walk up here on game days.. you need a reservation or it's not happening so you've been warned !

Started with oysters on the half shell which came from the Chesapeake Bay and Lisa shucked them in front of me. The rock shrimp were good but would have preferred them to be deveined but that is my preference. Was wanting a little more food and ordered 6 hot garlic wings that finished the meal perfectly.
