The Hideaway Bar - The Sub Marino - Dive Bars Near Me - Orlando, Florida

The staff is so nice. Burgers are big and juicy. A small dive and good place for a relaxed drink or beer.

We walked up to order food to-go. None of the employees had mask on, which is concerning since they handle food and we're still in a global pandemic... Wings: Great! BLT: Good Mozzarella Sticks: Cold Fries: Bland... zero salt and soggy read more

A group of friends went to Hideaway to watch a football game with my husband and I. Service was pretty slow and at times I had to get up and remind the staff that we were on the patio in need of assistance. Drink prices are inexpensive, food is inexpensive as well, but the quality is just okay. Based on the service we won't be returning. read more

Cheap liquor and beer, awesome wings. Favorite burgers. Weekly pool tournament. Friendly bartenders. Credit cards accepted read more

The Hideaway Bar - Dive Bars Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Ok I'm going to start with saying I hate leaving a bad review... but the only reason I'm leaving 3 stars is because if you are lucky enough to get one of the old school bartenders everything is amazing... however out of my last dozen or so visits I have not been so lucky..... be prepared to have to try and wave someone down even if they are not busy .Also, it's a great thing that all of their food is good because your chances of getting what you actually ordered is slim to none, in addition you will see no one to tell about this.. I've kept coming here because it is a staple in the neighborhood but I am finding myself short on excuses to keep making for the ABSOLUTELY terrible service. ...as it stands now I've been sitting for an hour with an empty glass just looking for my check. read more

If you want flavorful, crispy wings, this is not your spot. The garlic wings literally were not edible because they were undercooked. Incredibly soggy and lacking flavor. Aside from crushed garlic sprinkled on top, there's no evidence of seasoning. The lemon pepper wings were at least done, but underwhelming in the flavor department. The blue cheese dressing is delish and the highlight of the meal. The chef salad was pretty decent. The waitress was excellent, with fun personality, and a willingness to get me whatever I needed. read more

O hai, quintessential dive bar. Like all good dive bars, EVERYONE comes here, so whether you're a hipster looking for a cheap PBR or a Miami Dolphins fan looking for a place to watch a game (though I'm not a Dolphins fan, still +1 for the dope Andrew Spear murals outside) you'll feel comfortable and like you've been hanging out there forever. I first encountered The Hideaway during that horrible summer of '04 when we got hit with no less than three hurricanes, and I was desperate for cold beer, hot food and air conditioning. At the time, dogs wandered around the bar and it was no biggie (not sure if that was official policy at the time or they made exceptions for pooches given the Stormageddon conditions) - now, the patio is canine-friendly. I've been back over the years for Worst Music Parties, trivia, birthday parties for people and a dog (Jake - a chocolate Lab I'm pretty sure everyone at The Hideaway knows), a breast cancer awareness event and who remembers what else - and lots of beer, wings and fries. They have had full liquor for a couple years and make strong drinks, as well. The food isn't healthy but they'll crank out anything you might ask for - including cheesy bacon fries :) If you don't live close enough to walk, yeah, their parking lot is tiny but parking abounds on nearby streets. read more

The food here is great and i don't think that there is a better burger in a 10 mile radius. However, the staff and wait time is not the best. I will only order food through delivery services. WIll not be going back in person. read more

I've been here once and can't wait to go back. This is the kind of bar where the staff always knows you by name and usually has your favorite drink poured for you before you even sit down. They are extremely personable and fun. The Burgers are awesome. The drinks are awesome. And everything is well priced. I don't believe they accept plastic but there is an ATM inside, and come early if you want a good parking spot. The lot is little. read more

Great neighborhood bar in the Ivanhoe Village district, but remember the Hideaway is CASH ONLY and the fees at the cash machine are steep. Cheap drinks, with a varied beer menu and drink specials almost all of the time. Good food: burgers, quesadillas, wings, and the Hot Marino sandwich (I recommend this one pressed Cuban-style). On any given night there is likely to be some stiff competition on the pool table. Parking is tight, but many patrons walk or bike to the Hideaway. read more

Best hamburgers in town. There, I said it. (OK, others may have said it already, but I wholeheartedly agree!) No frills, nothing fancy about it, just a juicy burger on a perfect bun. (The hot dogs are good, too.) I've been coming here for a few years now. Whether for dinner or just drinks, the staff is very attentive and friendly. The inside is fun but sometimes smokey and loud; the outside patio, however, is always great with a good amount of seating, fans, TVs, and people watching. It's kind of an all-ages place, where you can bring friends or your dive-bar-loving dad. Parking out back is a little tight, but I usually find a spot weeknights before 7:00pm. Otherwise, you can easily find a space in one of the quaint side streets in this great little neighborhood. The only con is that they don't accept credit cards, but there's an ATM inside. read more

Great local 'dive' bar, but bring your cash or use the ATM. Some of the best burgers in town. Good beer prices (and food prices, actually-a lot of people call in lunch orders). Interesting crowd. read more

Probably the last dive bar in the area. Fair prices and chill atmosphere. Just beware, it's allowed to smoke inside so even if you don't smoke you'll go home smelling as if you did. In spite of that it's actually a neat place to go to occasionally when you're tired of all the pretentious and hipster bars. read more

Nice dive bar between Orange Ave. (Ivanhoe area) and Mills/17-92. The staff is fun, the patio is nice (the inside is too smoky for me), and the beer is present. They have your standard offerings for decent prices. I drive past The Hideaway Bar and its Andrew Spear mural when commuting to work and became curious enough to try it. I went with one of my roommates on St. Patrick's Day earlier this year (yes, the review is late). I ordered a pint of Guinness and my roommate ordered a Magner's Cider. Both were good. The food was okay, but it felt a little over-priced. I ordered the chili cheese burger and my roommate got chicken strips with onion rings. Pretty standard and not that memorable. The woman behind the bar was friendly and funny, and all the other staff seemed relaxed and chill, so props for that. The environment was very laid back, which is another positive. If you're looking for a bar to relax at (preferably outside) with a beer in hand, this is a good spot for that. read more

Gross and disgusting. Not much AC. I couldn't hold my breath long enough to get past the 1970s era smokers clogging up the entrance. Then we got inside only to find a dive of a joint that still smokes where they serve food. We walked right out. Freaking disgusting. read more

We lived around the corner and decided to play some pull tabs and have couple drinks. We won some money and was happy and was saying cheers. Next thing they stopped serving us drinks. So we took the money and left. Went back tonight and played pull tabs. 2 hrs with they had served us twice. We're from Hawaii with darker skin color. They never payed attention to us. Very poor service. We felt that we been discriminated Later a bartender said that the reason why she didn't come around is because the last time we were in there they thought we told them that we using Uber. She did not make sense at all. She mistakened us from someone else. Very BAD service. I don't plan to go back again. Low class bar Not enough employees Poor service Bad atmosphere Nobody smiles Bottom line. "Ghetto' read more

I discovered The Hideaway over 10 years ago. It was summer 2004, the year Florida had three hurricanes pass through. I think this was around the time Charlie hit. We were looking for place to chill and the Hideaway was open, much to our pleasant surprise. Since then we've been returning every so often to this little sports bar tucked away near Virginia and Orange. For years we would take our golden retriever Missy and hang out in the front patio. For awhile we were known as the "Missy" party. We would join friends and have beers, wings, burgers, philly cheese steaks. We would hit trivia night on Tuesdays, attend patio birthday parties, or just chill with a drink. Inside, you know the drill: divey atmosphere, pool table, tvs behind the bar, friendly bartenders, pinball machine, jukebox. They still don't take credit cards, but there is an ATM available. Check out the big murals from local artist Andrew Spear. Park on a side street (on the other side of Virginia) if their small lot is full. Magic and Dolphin fans are welcome. Note: smoking is allowed here, but their filtration system is pretty good. This is a real bar with no pretension. It's a constant in the area, like gravity. read more

Looking for a dive bar, but don't want to smell like Wally's? Look no further! (DISCLAIMER: I do love Wally's, so that's not a slam. Hideaway is a little smoky inside, but not to the extent of Wally's. And Hideaway has a nice, relatively smoke-free outdoor area.) The Hideaway is a fun spot for a casual afternoon bar/bike crawl. With so many bars and restaurants in that area, it's easy to add this to your Sunday Funday plans. There are also plenty of TV screens, making it easy to tune in to a sporting event or two (it helps if you're a Dolphins fan). This is one of the bars in town that plays the Orlando City soccer games. Be sure to check the drink specials. The drinks are already pretty cheap, but they also offer a lot of specials. Two Things to Know Before You Go: 1) BRING CASH! They do not accept cards. They have an ATM, but fees apply. 2) Right now, there's no bathroom, but there's a perfectly fine porta-potty outside. read more

I found this place by accident yesterday. The staff was really personable and friendly. I went around 4:00pm, the place was packed and they greeted almost everyone that came in by name. The inside is cool and they also have a large porch outside. Guests can smoke inside and out. Bring cash or be prepared to go to the ATM. There's one pool table and a couple arcade style games. I got the mushroom Swiss burger and opted for the potato salad side (it's either that or potato chips). The burger was great! I wish they would have asked how I wanted it cooked but the favors were awesome and the bun was fantastic. The potato salad wasn't to my liking but that's my own fault (don't really like potato chips or potato salad). All in all this place was great. Definite dive bar scene, and I will for sure be back to try the wings. read more

Divey Dive bar goodness. Friendly staff that treated you just like a regular. Some great beers on tap and in bottle. Neat artwork and murals thanks to the talented Mr. Andrew Spears and really good burgers. The burgers are really good because they are perfect when you are craving just a regular size burger with the standard ingredients. My mushroom Swiss burger was really good and my husbands Bacon Cheddar burger hit the spot. I really dig how early/late they are open. and the mix of people that frequent the bar. Cons - Cash Only but they have an ATM - Smoking inside so you must be okay with that. - Small bathrooms, Women's bathroom stall doesn't lock well Must love dives. read more

I was here a few times this past week (most recently, last night) and, as always, had an awesome time. The staff is so personable, funny and friendly. The prices can't be beat, either - there's a special right now ... $2.50 for mixed Bacardi drinks ... all flavors. What a deal! Last night, I asked to have The Hideaway Special burger but with the grilled rye toast from the patty melt instead of just a regular hamburger bun. Of course, they were more than happy to do it ... and it came out so, so good. I probably will be here pretty often in the coming months for football and whatnot, so look for me! I love this place. read more

For BAR FOOD, this place is a great choice. Start with the wings, which they are known for, and work your way down the menu from there. I'm not as familiar with the alcohol choices at Hideaway, but I think I recall they are beer and wine only? The beer is ice cold and spot on, just not sure the selection is real deep beyond there. I don't give out 4 stars lightly, but for BAR FOOD, I think Hideaway warrants the high marks. My biggest reason for not frequenting the place more often is the smoking...seems to be everywhere, indoor and out. And the loyal patrons are all big smokers, so you get smoked out sometimes. The parking situation is crazy too, be careful even pulling into the lot in a large SUV, because getting back out can be a real challenge. If you drive a bike, or an electric or pedal power tiny car, you like smoke, and enjoy good food...you may have found your new home. read more

If you can get over the fact that this place is CASH ONLY, you may be pleasantly surprised. The inconvenience factor had always kept me away since I don't carry cash, but I made a plan and followed through. The place is as divey as I could have wanted. The music was great the atmosphere was perfect. We sat at the bar and each bartender was so amazing. Friendly, knowledgeable and made great suggestions. The prices were very reasonable (the bargain bin? Fantastic idea). I haven't tried the food yet, but we will be back. read more

This place is great. Just a chill spot to have drinks and the food is really good. I wanted to write a review because of the staff- they are all awesome!! Everyone is so nice and that keeps me coming back for sure. read more

Cool little neighborhood bar to grab a drink Enjoyed the outside seating area, didn't enjoy all the smoke inside. Cash only. read more

Just like all other reviews this place is fun. The burgers will surprise you. They don't look big at first but you will keep on eating. The drinks are made with a loving and heavy hand. They have a weekly pool league with one of the fastest table I have experienced. Now if your not big on smoke you will want to be out side. It's a smokers paradise.... read more

The Hideaway Bar - 8-ball league Monday's - Dive Bars Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Cool little dive bar to go watch football games at and grab some good bites. I had the chicken wings and chili cheese fries. The meat fell right off the bone but they weren't too greasy. The staff was busy hustling and running around. They were quick as well as the food. The inside and outside were full of people enjoying their games and grubbing. Definitely a good little bar to visit. read more

Many times have I brought friends and family to the Hideaway to prove that Orlando is not all Mickey Mouse and chain restarants. On the contrary--hidden gems are just waiting to be discovered, and The Hideaway Bar and Grille is one of the best. Upon introducing said friends, never have these lucky ducks failed to express enthusiastic enjoyment for this quaint little dive. The Hideaway has been in the same location for over 60 years, and one could imagine the same characters sitting in the same stools every day since then. Even so, this is NOT an old man pub. Its trademark seems to be that every type of person--from younglings to old war vets to hipsters to bikers--simply everyone fits in and finds something to love at the Hideaway. I heartily recommend lounging on the patio and burying your face in the humungous hand-shaped burgers, but only if you love a big juicy burger that drips down your arms and makes you moan. Personally, I go for the Hideaway Special--the combination of crispy bacon and A1 sauce just hits that YUMMM burger spot. You know the one I mean. Other food is good too--big and meaty hot wings, silly-big quesadillas, and a cheesesteak sub that is too good for words. Not to be overlooked, The Hideaway has been voted CHEAPEST BEER IN ORLANDO by Calendar magazine. The cheapness is not outdone by the selection, which is impressive for such a tiny sports-pub establishment. The bar service is efficient as well--often the affable owner, Chip, will wait on you himself and always makes pleasant conversation. Go there. Do it. You'll love it. I brought my rugby team in for one social event and now they won't leave (as Shannon, the ever-smiling barmaid informs me). The reasons for such loyalty will become obvious after one visit. Have I perhaps gone overboard with praise? Well, so be it. After living in Orlando my whole life, I can easily say this bar is my favorite. Whether you're looking for a casual spot that's good for lazy afternoon rendezvous or beer-fueled late-night dancing on the pool table, The Hideaway just can't be beat. read more

This place is a dive and the food is amazing. I had the patty melt with bar tots and they were delicious!! The waitress was very nice and offered up plenty of options -- she was also very attentive. I went inside once and it was super smokey, but what bar isn't. One critique is that the waitress took our cards to "run tabs" but didn't actually do it. So when people were leaving individually, their card wasn't charged but was added on to someone else's tab? Doesn't make much sense there, but regardless I will still be back and it's highly recommended! read more

Love this place. No frills, no pretention. Exactly what a dive should be! Just people from all walks of life leaving their egos at the door to relax and have a good time. Food is deep fried deliciousness. Staff is very friendly. Not a huge craft beer selection, but at least more than your average bar. Cash only! read more

This place is the definition of dive bar: smoky, loud folks getting a little too sloshed, sassy servers keeping everyone in line. Oh, and it's filled with Miami Dolphins fans, so it really doesn't get much better than that! I stopped in while on a bike ride in the area with a friend to grab a drink, and catch up on some scores before heading back out. Decent selection of beer, and the food that passed by looked really good. I can't wait to come back for some Dolphins football and to try out the food. read more

The Hideaway definitely falls into the dive category, but has some character and quirks that makes it a fun stop on a bar crawl of Orlando bars. They have a limited menu of food but the kitchen stays open until 1am each night. It's not a terribly large space but it's open enough for a big group with a pool table, a juke box and patio seating. Overall- fun atmosphere with the right crowd, a bit smokey, and parking may be tough. read more

Cool spot, haven't been since they did away with smoking, but that is probably a nice addition. Food is delicious wings are my go Tomas always come out nice and hot, but the burgers are great as well. Parking isn't great, but side street parking available. read more

The best thing about this place is that it is a Miami Dolphins bar! I went every Sunday to watch my team this year and had a blast doing it. It's small, but on certain games they open up the back and you can sit outside. You can also sit out front too. The drinks are cheap and you can smoke in the bar. I don't smoke, but if you have a problem with smoking than go somewhere that you won't bother anyone with your complaining. Good food too, I tried almost everything and was never disappointed. Try the Hot Marino Sub, the wings (when we played Baltimore, they blackened them, which I think should be an ultimate stay on the menu), Roast Beef sandwich, and the Fajitas. And just like Johnny, it's CASH ONLY. read more

They do not accept credit cads which just doesn't work for me. There's an ATM on-site but I rather not pay the $5 transaction fee. I took off 1 star because of it. Food is greasy and tasty. I had the steak sandwich which was delicious. It had the white fat on it, which I didn't mind but some people might. My buddy had a burger which he said was good. The prices are very reasonable. It is what it is, a very smokey bar inside with a nice seating area outside, greasy food, and a decent beer selection, and very friendly service. read more

Dankest wings in Orlando. The bar is whatever. If you are into smokey, dim lit bars- then this place will be like heaven for you. My 5 star rating is purely on the fact they have the best wings in Orlando. Tip: Mix the sauces, try the honey mustard. Seriously, no better wings. read more
