Crazy ship shaped themed bar we've frequented off and on for over forty years…read more Times have changed since everyone dressed like pirates and they had a lunch crowd back in the eighties. At one point there were even stag films and a bottomless waitstaff. The drinks are a bit lacking, as to be expected by the atmosphere and there's no longer the same vibe they once offered. Sadly, we saw no food and an incredibly filthy dive bar. The only saving grace was the nice staff and bits of the Pirates of the Caribbean film. 08/25

Walked in with about 6 friends ( all 25-30)years old) last week. We wanted to play some pool, throw…read moresome darts and have some drinks since " On the rocks" had no tables left. We walk in and we all show our ID's to the bartender. About 5 minutes goes by and the bartender comes back over to us and explains " the manager called and said some of you look under 21" and that " we must leave immediately"... we thought it was a joke, but it certainly was not. We all left promptly and went to the liquor across the street and played uno at home instead (way better than the salty dog anyway) Totally explains why there was 4 people in there on a Friday Night !!! I hate writing a bad review but id like to prevent anybody else from having this experience ! Go to on the rocks 1/4 mile north of there if you want to have fun / a good time with your friends that enjoy karaoke and actually getting served . Made for a good story and a reason to never go back. Marty if you're reading this, either make a way for your bartender to feel confident reading an ID, or get a scanner to confirm authenticity. Certainly never bringing any friends there for a good time again. Ill give 3 stars to not completely diminish your rating and be favorable towards one bad experience but personally id like to give 1 star for being such a vibe killer and ultimately making me a salty dog

The food is excellent no matter what you try. Some of my favorites include the patty melt, shrimp carbonara, and their Greek salad with gyro meat. They have a vast menu as well as a daily food and drink menu so there's always something new to try out. It's much more than just bar food too. They have a separate dining area for families as well as a pool table, darts, and club keno. It's a great place to meet some friends and watch the game. They also have a rewards program you can sign up for. Friday and Saturday night they have karaoke starting at 9 PM and music trivia bingo on Tuesday (I think) night. They get a decent crowd and sometimes it can be hard finding a couple spots at the bar but they usually will have a high top available if you prefer to sit in the bar area. I like that their kitchen stays open until midnight which is pretty rare these days. Bottom line you can't go wrong checking out On the Rocks!

Both mine and my ladiy's burger were ordered medium rare; what we received resembled two NHL hockey pucks, only slightly warmer on a sloppy, sogggy bun. UNEDIBLE. Gross. We showed the barkeep and she agreed to have th re-made. Fast forward another 20 minutes and they were over-cooked again. I haven't experienced this here ever before. Something seemed off. Caitlyn, the barkeep took care of our drinks for the inconvenience. Upon leaving, I saw the "cook" outside smoking a cigarette and sipping off a flask. I love this place, but if your kitchen staff can't hold it together, maybe it's time to look at other options. Thanks to Caitlyn for being as accommodating as possible. Next time I'll order something no-brainer, like some tatertots.

For downtown Royal Oak the prices can't be beat and they do have a private parking lot which is always a plus.

Their burgers I've been told are excellent! My antipasto salad was good but I would've liked a better Italian dressing and would've liked to have been told in advance that they charged you for an additional dressing! Had I known that I would've just ordered ranch (safer bet). I do feel they need a bit better ventilation system as I hate leaving smelling of greasy food! Also, their vegetarian options are very limited as they cook with beef tallow. I'd possibly go back to try their burger or get the antipasto salad again! Service: 3.5 Food: 4 Value: 4 Atmosphere: 4

The last menus I saw on Yelp for the Hideout were over 3 years old so I added pics of the current menu, cocktails, shots and beers on tap along with pics of our burgers!
