I went to this establishment on yesterday for the first time with some of friends, while i have heard of this bar before. I did not know where it was located. While sitting in the back near the dressing room with my friends, 1 black and 1 Hispanic and I'm black myself. A white patron came over to the table and said to us"Oh this must be the ethnic table" which meant to me, to imply "this is the black or colored section". Many of you may read this, and not understand how I as a black gay man would feel, because you have not walked in my shoes or that of my family and fellow black Americans. If you were in a "straight" bar with your friends and someone came up to you and said "is this the gay section or alternative section". you would be offended. I was visibly angry and became more angry, when staff and management attempted to make excuses for this patron. I have been in the bar/club industry and if one of my patron ever made another patron feel uncomfortable, they would be escorted out. Its sad as gay men or women, we want equal rights and acceptance for ourselves, but unable to extend to others.

Friendly staff. The bartender made me feel very welcome. Good and fast service. Google maps says that there is food at the bar and that's not true. The crowd/demographics here is mostly older white men in their 40s+ and above. I came here on a Saturday afternoon.

My 3rd time here, won’t be going again. Bartenders seem to have a bit of an attitude… I peeped that out the very first time I came here. I was sitting at the bar with a friend of mine and one of the bartenders came over talking to a female that worked there, he got all in my personal space without an excuse me or anything like I was nothing, me and my friend got up and moved to the other side of the room. Then when I came back to the bar to pay the tab, one of the guys collecting glasses brought some up to the bar to be cleaned, he dropped the stack of glasses on the bar, ice and straws landed on my jacket.. again no apology or anything. The bartender that I was paying my tab to basically slammed the ticket on the counter. Much better prices and attitude at other bars… I’ll be spending my money elsewhere.

Hole in the wall gem!!! A great hidden spot for a lively LGBTQIA crowd. It's mostly for gay men, but anyone would fit in. Cheap drinks and friendly bartenders. Nick was so nice! I enjoyed myself and will be back. Things to note: small bar, nice back patio with tables and chairs, two bathrooms but only one locks, the other is two urinals and a toilet, no stalls. Parking free, but limited. Do not park right next to storage containers as you have a chance of getting hit because of lack of visibility to other drivers.

Hey kidz. So ya, I was escorted from the #hideaway #hideawayatlanta #hideawayatl property tonight by non other than APD. That's a first in my life. Ejected from a bar. Not only ejected, but escorted by the rent a cop door security that was clearly under the influence of, let's call it the "weedz". Erm, ya. If you know me, I don't post without first hand views and experience. My friend William was in the urinal bathroom with 3 other patrons waiting his turn to use the facilities. Standing against the door, someone started banging and then forcing their way into the facilities. Breaking the door in the process. When the door gave way, the agitator lost control of his beverage and drenched himself. He reported the incident to security and management. This leaves my friend in a predicament to rationalize his obstruction of the door to the facilities. When I ask the door security where the accuser is, he has no reply. Neither does management. *fishy fishy* You'd think if someone logged a complaint, that security, management or #APD would want to get "the other side of the story". But the complaintant is both nowhere to be found OR is questioned by security, management or APD! As a result, both my friend and I are ejected from the property without due recourse or due process. When I questioned the security guard about the complaintant, I'm ignored. 🤔 What exactly are the door security there for? Do we fear our safety in spaces deemed "safe spaces" and as a spectator frequenting the bar for 26-27 yrs stated he wasn't management or an owner but an "observer" during the actual police questioning refused to offer an option one way or another, even though he witnessed the event...... 🙈🙊🙉 Other than this isolated incident at this bar, I've only had great experiences. The bar staff are wonderful and attentive. But it makes me rethink my actual safety in an environment I'm supposed to be comfortable in without question. If this type of event and then action was not only taken against my friend, but me as an associate, why would I frequent an establishment that caters favor when wrong action is really actually wrong? One post from me on social was enough for #Marys #MarysAtlanta to reach out for dialogue. Let's see how the Hideaway handles my social media experience. Also, I applaude Mary's in EAV for reaching out (almost immediately) and swiftly addressing the issues I presented. As an alt Pup individual in Atlanta, I try to be courteous to all staff, tip well and understand that being patient is the best virtue they can value during budy times. Oh ya, this is a Public post. So anyone searching Facebook or the web will be able to pull these tags. Share and enjoy.

This was our second time here but may be our ladt. We sat at the bar where an older female served us however afer we finished our first drink she said she was leaving and ask us to pay, however the next bartender hadnt even arrived yet! So we waithed paciwntly for rhe bartender to serve us when he finally came in. We never got waited on after about 20 minutes so we left. We told the owner but he didnt seem to care either. I can spend my money elsewhere

How anyone could have a bad time here I have not a clue. It is the gay "Cheers". I always feel welcome and the bartenders are always on it. Shawn is so kind and always remembers us which leaves you to want to stay longer and drink more. LOVE LOVE LOVE the Hideaway.

We need that front room opened and with a dance floor

They need to stop hiding and let every one know about this nice little spot. The fuzzy navels are delicious, the sex on the beach is almost like the real thing. Both Rodger and myself loved every minute there and had a lot more fun back at the hotel ;) ;)

This was the worst bar experience of my life. We were dismissed and belittled by the bartender.

Honestly one of the worst experiences ever. A drunk customer tried to break down the door to the bathroom. Called the police on me for trying to protect my privacy. I would encourage you to reconsider before giving this bar your hard earned money. #antigay #civilrights

It's simple....feeling down? Lonely? Work got you so stressed out you don't know what to do? Head to the Hideaway! I can't tell you the last time I went there and wasn't welcomed with a happy greeting. The staff at the Hideaway just know how to treat people. From what I can see, it's like they know everybody that walks through the door! If you have to wait for anything at all, it's only because it's so busy there lately. It may be called "Hideaway" but it should be called "Freeway" because all roads lead right here, no matter who you are. Just turned 21 and need to go somewhere you feel safe? This is your place. Just turned 61 and need to celebrate with people who won't shame you because you're an older man? This is your answer. I could go on and on (obviously) but I won't. Bottom line...if you're looking for a bad experience, then you're probably gonna find it wherever you go. Happiness starts with YOU! If you're looking for fun with friends who treat you like you just got home??? Then welcome to the Hideaway, my friend. This is how I honestly feel about this place because it's how I've been treated and how I've witnessed others being treated.

Handsome & polite bartenders. Cheap drinks. Loud music. My kind of place.

I love this bar but why did that little drug dealer Josh Tucker get permission to come back? He is a vibe killer and always causes problems. Won't be going back if I see him there. Erik is the best bartender hands down. He is fast and not emotional..the absolute best.

Neighborhood bar type vibe. Good conversations with strangers with heavy pours from the staff. Favorite gay bar in at Atlanta. Super welcoming environment.

No cover charge, nice lowkey chill environment, I enjoyed hearing some of the old school tunes and you can def relax.If you're a bit more mature you won't feel out of place because most of the clientele is 31+ in appearance. Nice if you just wanna go to an LGBT space and chill with a drink but not really a "turnup" space. Pleasant environment though.

Walked in the other evening to find a room full of oiled down, nude men chasing each other around. One of them was running with a tub of butter. Not sure what was going on but they were giggling ecstatically and singing songs from Cher's last album. There was a midget dressed as an Ewok working as the bouncer. Five stars though because they gave out free hand rolled cigarettes.

Check your credit card statements!! I hit the 25% tip button and it showed on my statement as 125% tip!! Huh interesting. And sad

If you like mature men, this is one of atlanta's hidden gems. I like to stop by there when I'm in town.

The atmosphere was very down to earth and laid back and I felt welcome the crowd is very warm and friendly not mention my good friend Darlene DJs there on Saturday nights I recommend anyone who has a open mind or who identify as proud queer.

Cozy fun great staff and old dog mascot you can pet!

My standard hangout.

Being an aficionado of low key dive - ish type bars this place fits the bill. But I wouldn't go so far as to say it's a dive, it's not. Refreshingly No attitude, good drinks, and good prices, and did I say no attitude?

Very friendly staff. Shawn is amazing

Perfect casual neighborhood hangout.

A bit hard to find it, local little bar, friendly people

Very fun and with good price on dronks

The staff is amazing ! Best place in town ! A hidden jewel !

I go for the Diet Coke, but I stay for the daddies.

Great bar space and game room turns into a great performance space. Friendly staff, management and owner and I hear the Thursday night comedy show (Hot Mic Thursday at 10pm!) is really fun!

This place is great and has a diverse crowd! The drinks are strong and everyone was so nice. Can’t wait to go back!

(Translated by Google) Good place to spend a couple of hours (Original) Buen lugar para pasar un par de horas

This neighborhood bar is a great place to meet locals. They have expanded their location. I am hoping they use the extra space to have a Sunday T Dance. I believe this will grow their business/clientele / Thanks Hideaway

Odd. Quirky. A brick fireplace. Golden retrieve laying in the middle of the floor and not moving for anyone. Strong drinks. Mixed crowd. Dive bar-ish. Will be back.

Atlanta’s go-to bear bar now that the Eagle is gone. Strong drinks. Woofy dudes.

Love this place: Great music, wonderful stuff, never boring!

Drinks were a little costly which I don't mind if there's sufficient alcohol in the pour. Great atmosphere, sexy staff and pateons.

Never a dull moment. Friendly staff and great drinks! The weekends are my favorite

Watching out for trans beatings. But I hear the regulars will have your back.

Fun bar with a cozy kind of sports bar-ish vibe

Great hidden gem in Atlanta!

I liked the experience and atmosphere of the place, at first I was kind of unsure about visiting this place, but it was good.

Great neighborhood feeling spot

Super nice place with great drinks and even better people :)

Nice atmosphere great drinks and food. Inexpensive $

Brian the bartender is incredible!!

I love there drinks are super strong .

The bar recently expanded nearly doubling its size by adding a gameroom and TV lounge. The bar is still tucked away behind the shopping mall in a most inconspicuous location. Partons crowd the main bar away so you can still find yourself waiting for bar service. The crowd has become more diverse over time. It's worth paying a visit.

Great Bar !!! Something different every night of the week. And they just added the Armorrettes on Sunday night at 8p.m. cheap drinks and daily specials. this is my favorite bar .

My my favorite and the best bar in Atlanta

Laid back real folks

Good place!.

Eh, honesty it’s ok. No frills bar. Drinks are limited and there’s no Kitchen. (Not that that has any affect on the review, I just thought anyone should know.) Went for Trivia night and wasn’t thrilled. Thankfully there were no rude or snarky comments made towards me this time.

Great people. Some are like family. Very enjoyable

I'm here visiting my friend kenny.i'm from Milwaukee wisconsin.i had a great time last night played black jack the dealer was so awesome.i will be back again next year.

Great hangout. Everyone is friendly and inviting

Was excited to check out the space especially the karaoke but the DJ was an absolute mess. As soon as we walked in, she told our group “no more slips” 3 hrs before close, cut people off when they were singing just to mumble and talk to herself in the microphone (she did not seem coherent), and then the most horrendous part was a racist comment when she called the wrong person up saying “how should I know- you all look the same” ! We all looked at each other with shocked faces and had to leave after that. What a mess :( Would love to try again with someone else leading the activity…
