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 !! )

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.

If you love onions you'll enjoy the onion crumble on this burger. A good balance of flavors and well worth the try. Parmesan fries also had roasted garlic so it was a big "Yes" for me! My husband got the jailbreak burger which was also a big crowd pleaser. To the right they have a full bar to try their different beers. A great spot to take your friends for after work drinks and eats. They even have a cozy lounge area to relax. Plenty of seating and great service. The staff was ready and willing to help and cleared off our tables for us. The tab system makes it easy to move from room to room so you don't have to worry, it's easy to add drinks and food as you relax and enjoy the atmosphere. Will definitely recommend for a relaxed atmosphere where you can watch games and also enjoy lively conversation. Better than a sports bar for food AND drinks.

We didn't stay for the DJ, but the atmosphere was already lively and fun while we were there. We ordered margaritas, empanadas, and the octopus. The margaritas were decently strong, had great flavor, and were about double the size of what you typically get at most restaurants (a win in my book)! The empanadas were a 10/10! Absolutely delicious. The dough was perfectly crispy without being too hard, and they were fully stuffed with ground beef and cheese. I'll definitely be thinking about those empanadas for a while! Now, the octopus was my first time ever trying octopus, so I didn't really know what to expect. It came out sizzling and the presentation was great, and there was even a good of amount of shrimp (head on) on the side, which I didn't realize came with the dish.. It also came with a side of rice beans and the choice of corn or flour tortilla. The flavor was absolutely amazing. You could really taste that fire-grilled flavor. For the most part, the texture was good as well. However, the thicker bottom portion didn't seem to be cooked all the way through and had a very fatty texture. We asked our waiter if they could put it back on the grill, and he took care of it with no problem. Service was really great. Our waiter was on top of everything and got every part of our order right. Parking was easy, and the restaurant itself has plenty of seating. Although I didn't stay for the DJ, I have a feeling this place turns into a really good time later in the evening. I'd definitely recommend Salsa Brava, especially for happy hour...and I'm absolutely coming back for those empanadas!

I like a neighborhood dive bar, and Nuzback's met the standard wonderfully…read more I've been here a few times now, always on a Saturday evening after 7ish. The bar has a nice buzz about it but isn't overly crowded. This a bar which seats 10ish guests, plenty of 4top seating, and a pool table in the main area of the bar. There is also outdoor picnic style seating set up outside; it seems like that outdoor seating is sometime available but also sometimes not (maybe depending on the weather or what staff is available). The food is solid; I've had the old bay wings, clam strips, and fries. My girlfriend really loved the clamstrips (and that's saying something because she's had so many from different spots). The wings were good but not the best I've ever had. We got mostly well drinks on our most recent visit; they were all well made and were at a great price point.

We waited quite a while to be seated despite the restaurant not seeming overly crowded. Our server was friendly, though a few requests had to be repeated. The food was just okay. My fettuccine Alfredo was mediocre, my mom wasn't impressed with her meal, and my daughter didn't eat much of hers either. I also ordered a margarita with tajín on the rim, which completely overpowered the drink for me. The highlight of the visit was the complimentary Mother's Day stemless wine glass, which was a thoughtful touch and a nice keepsake. Overall, BJ's remains about where I remember it--perfectly fine, but nothing that has me rushing back.

We just got a round of rails and we're satisfied for the night. The Vibes were pretty awesome and both the patrons and the staff were very nice. Now, if I ever want to go anywhere randomly late at night, I can get here in 10 minutes. I should give the food another shot. I wonder if it is improved over time?

As soft life luxury girls, we knew this just wasn't our scene. Because of that, I can't speak on the food or service, but first impressions matter and this one didn't land for me.

It's become our little tradition, and we always have a good time. Typically, this place is PACKED for the game, and over the years I've had mixed experiences with the service. Sometimes things move along pretty smoothly, and other times it can be a little chaotic--long waits for food, mix-ups with orders, having to ask for things more than once, etc. But yesterday was different, and I have to give them credit where credit is due! I arrived around 4 p.m., right around the end of one server's shift, and we ended up getting a new server named Maria. She was GREAT. She was friendly, attentive, and on top of everything. Our food came out quickly, our requests were handled promptly, and when I asked for the check, it came right out. We never had to sit around wondering where our food or server was. Everything was orderly and efficient, which was a major improvement from some of my previous experiences. And of course...the EAGLES WON! So that definitely helped make it a good day! I do have a couple of things I think Looney's could improve. First, the TVs. I understand that there are multiple football games happening, but considering we're in the DMV and this is a Commanders/Eagles matchup, I would expect the game to be on the majority of the screens. That wasn't really the case. There was also tennis on at one point, which my mom was enjoying, but it was switched off before the match was even finished. I think they could do a better job of balancing what games are being shown, especially during major matchups. I was also a little confused by the ID/stamping situation. When I first arrived, I wasn't asked for my ID; I was simply given a stamp. I'm not sure what the stamp was for or whether I was supposed to receive one, so I was a little unclear about the purpose. I don't mind following the rules at all--I just wasn't sure what the process was supposed to be. And the bathrooms could definitely use a little more attention in the cleanliness department. Overall, though, we had a good experience this time around. The atmosphere was fun, the crowd wasn't nearly as overwhelming as it has been in previous years, and most importantly, Maria was on it! The food and service are a huge part of the experience at a sports bar, and yesterday was definitely a step up from some of the experiences I've had in the past. We'll be back next year for our annual Eagles/Commanders tradition. Hopefully the Eagles will be bringing another W with them!
