Love the horror theme and they play horror movies on the TVs. Definitely a touristy kind of place. They have video games and specialty drinks. There are mocktales and shots, but really they taste about the same, super sweet. I loved there selection of craft beer in the cans and bottles. Definitely worth a visit if you are looking for a cool way to spend a few hours.

Had an early morning follow-up doctor's appointment the other day and received the news everyone…read morewants to hear, a clean bill of health and a "keep doing what you're doing." Naturally, I celebrated by heading to Hideaway for breakfast. While I'm not a regular, I've been visiting Hideaway for years. The original location across the street had a classic smoke-filled dive bar atmosphere, and I could tell stories all day about memorable experiences there. Those stories are best saved for another time. The new location is unquestionably an upgrade in comfort and appearance, though it lacks some of the character and smoke that made the old place so memorable. Fortunately, the things that matter most remain intact. The beer is still ice cold, the drinks are solid, and the food is consistently above average at prices that are hard to argue with. This particular morning, I grabbed a seat at the bar and took advantage of their $5 breakfast burrito (available before 9 AM). The menu lists bacon or ham as protein options, but I was also offered sausage, which I happily chose along with the eggs and cheese. I'm glad I did. The sausage was nicely rendered with crisp edges that delivered little flavor bombs throughout the burrito. Wanting to dress things up a bit, I asked for pico de gallo. My server laughed and replied, "This is a dive bar," before offering salsa instead. Fair enough. The salsa, combined with a generous squeeze of their hot sauce, turned out to be exactly what the burrito needed. In fact, it was so good I briefly considered ordering a second one to go. Then I could practically hear my doctor whispering in my ear, advising restraint, so I reluctantly passed. For those unfamiliar with Hideaway, it's also a major Miami Dolphins fan destination. Whether you're a Dolphins fan or not, I highly recommend experiencing one of their game-day watch parties at least once. The atmosphere is electric and one of the more unique sports-viewing experiences around. My only minor gripe was being charged an extra dollar for the small container of salsa, and it wasn't even pico de gallo. Not enough to ruin an otherwise enjoyable visit, but enough to earn a raised eyebrow. Overall, a great breakfast, a little nostalgia, and a fitting way to celebrate a positive doctor's visit.

While it is nothing like it used to be back when Vintage, Vyce, and some of the older bars/night lounges existed, it is still a solid spot. It has also SURVIVED the various neighboring bar changes throughout the years. The bartenders, throughout the years, have also been quite solid! I have a couple of favorites that I always look for when I visit. Even the doormen are cool people. They have resident DJs that play throughout the week and weekends - all are pretty good! The vibe is usually pretty chill. The nights when they are slower are my favorite because they can get pretty packed. Service is usually pretty great. From time to time, they have specials/deals. They offer nice, fairly affordable mid-shelf (or top-shelf) drink options (as well as well-drink options). They also offer hookahs, if you are into that. Please keep in mind that if you have cash on you, you can get the hookah at a discounted rate. They have a decent number of TVs if you are looking to watch any games. As the name suggests, it is a "side" bar, so seating there is limited, but it does make for more than enough on slower days/nights. They have great hours, and you can also order food from Gitto's next door at the bar counter. All in all, it is a good spot to add to bar-hop rotation or to just visit in general.

In fact, when we arrived here the musical group was on a break and the place was full. Once the band started up again, patrons started filing out, possibly due to how loud they were playing. By the time they got to their 3rd song, the place was about 1/2 empty.

It's at the end corner of the plaza right by the apartments. The place is a pub/bar style with pool table, several TVs, and 2 bars. They also have a darts wall. They have oysters that are chucked right in front of you if you sit at the longer bar on the right side upon entry. There is no smoking inside and there are regular tables inside. They have oysters in a dozen, half dozen, bucket (30) and they do them Rockefeller style as well. They are absolutely delicious raw or steamed-my own preference. The owner(s) is/are wonderful! We had a minor thing happen due to something they just didn't foresee happening but they thanked us for letting them know and being kind about it and fixed things right away. If you ever have any question or issue, please just tell them and they will totally fix it right away. They are sooooo sweet and friendly. Protect them at all costs!!
