    Smokin old fashioned   Best in town
    John B.

    I stumbled across this bar and one of their signature cocktails is the smoking old fashion. It is quite the show to see them make it in front of your eyes, fire, smoke, and all the wonderful ingredients... Their concoction uses bullet rye It was a wonderful drink Service is outstanding. No food, except for the free popcorn in the back and some chips behind the bar. Eat elsewhere, come here for the conversation and beverages. You will be glad you did.

    Good drinks and atmosphere and music, we didn't try food but it was a cool after dinner spot

    Our bartender, Albert (or Albie as we heard some call him), made a FANTASTIC Old Fashion, and he did it the RIGHT WAY.

I tried several different options and relaxed on the patio. The band playing was setting a fun, funky vibe, and the crowd was getting down. This place proves you can have classy and a bit wild at the same time. I loved the little lounge areas with vintage chairs and beautiful decor. Word of mouth gets around fast, and I see why my neighbor keeps inviting me to this spot. She has good taste and knows where to go drama free. This is a great spot for females to feel safe to go solo or bring your crew. The surrounding customers and staff were friendly and fun. I will return soon and try out some other options.

This place absolutely nails the vibe, an incredible selection of wines, a great lineup of beers, and a laid-back atmosphere that makes you want to stay way longer than you planned. The live music is hands-down the best in Fredericksburg, and the patio? Easily the coolest, most relaxing spot in town to unwind with a drink and good company. Whether you're a wine lover, beer fan, or just looking for the perfect place to kick back after a long day of exploring, Lincoln Street Wine Bar delivers every single time. Friendly staff, great energy, amazing music, and an unbeatable patio, what more could you ask for? 10/10 recommend. This will be a must-stop every time I'm in Fredericksburg.

    8/05/25: Visiting from Dallas, TX. The restaurant is right off Main Street. Yes, it is "hidden" and…read moreyou have to walk down an alley to get to it. Blake greeted me and he was very friendly. I sat at the bar and ordered a burger and fries, chicken wings, and onion rings. They had one cook, and he was pretty cool. This was definitely a "locals" bar, but the staff made me feel comfortable. The food took a while to come out, but when it did, it was fresh and hot. Everything tasted ok, but the burger and onion rings, which had been recommended by the bartender, were really good. The bar was well stocked, and the beer was cold. They had plenty of patio seating, and they host live music. The bar area and the bathrooms are in need of some TLC. Parking on Main Street can be a challenge. I went the next day to have a burger and onion rings, but they were out of onion rings. I settled for seasoned fries, which were ok.

    We stopped by Hidden Hideaway on Main for lunch and had a mixed experience. Parking is street-only,…read morethere's no private lot, but we found a spot nearby without too much trouble. Our server was friendly, but there were a few communication hiccups throughout the meal. We were served bottled water without being told there was a charge, which caught us off guard since most nearby restaurants offer complimentary water. The server also offered chips and salsa as we were handed menus, so it sounded like a complimentary starter, but it's actually $10 on the menu. After waiting about 40 minutes, we decided to cancel the order (which turned out hadn't been entered anyway). Service was pleasant but inconsistent. One of our friends arrived a few minutes after us and ordered coffee right away, but her cup didn't come out until well after ours, and when it did, the cup wasn't very clean. Also worth noting that gratuity is automatically added for parties of six or more, and they don't split checks. We accidentally double-tipped, but the manager was kind and quickly resolved it. On the plus side, the space is casual, dog-friendly, and has plenty of shaded outdoor seating. The food was the highlight. My Chicken Bacon Ranch sandwich was flavorful with crispy fries, my husband's Hideaway Burger was cooked well, and our friend's Chicken & Waffles were tasty, though a bit heavy on the waffle and light on the chicken. Overall, the food and atmosphere were good, but the lack of transparency around pricing and a few service missteps made the experience less smooth than it could've been. Decent spot, but I'd probably try somewhere else next time.
