The Hideaway

Hole in the wall gem!!! A great hidden spot for a lively LGBTQIA crowd. It's mostly for gay men, but anyone would fit in. Cheap drinks and friendly bartenders. Nick was so nice! I enjoyed myself and will be back. Things to note: small bar, nice back patio with tables and chairs, two bathrooms but only one locks, the other is two urinals and a toilet, no stalls. Parking free, but limited. Do not park right next to storage containers as you have a chance of getting hit because of lack of visibility to other drivers.

How anyone could have a bad time here I have not a clue. It is the gay "Cheers". I always feel welcome and the bartenders are always on it. Shawn is so kind and always remembers us which leaves you to want to stay longer and drink more. LOVE LOVE LOVE the Hideaway.

Hey kidz. So ya, I was escorted from the #hideaway #hideawayatlanta #hideawayatl property tonight by non other than APD. That's a first in my life. Ejected from a bar. Not only ejected, but escorted by the rent a cop door security that was clearly under the influence of, let's call it the "weedz". Erm, ya. If you know me, I don't post without first hand views and experience. My friend William was in the urinal bathroom with 3 other patrons waiting his turn to use the facilities. Standing against the door, someone started banging and then forcing their way into the facilities. Breaking the door in the process. When the door gave way, the agitator lost control of his beverage and drenched himself. He reported the incident to security and management. This leaves my friend in a predicament to rationalize his obstruction of the door to the facilities. When I ask the door security where the accuser is, he has no reply. Neither does management. *fishy fishy* You'd think if someone logged a complaint, that security, management or #APD would want to get "the other side of the story". But the complaintant is both nowhere to be found OR is questioned by security, management or APD! As a result, both my friend and I are ejected from the property without due recourse or due process. When I questioned the security guard about the complaintant, I'm ignored. 🤔 What exactly are the door security there for? Do we fear our safety in spaces deemed "safe spaces" and as a spectator frequenting the bar for 26-27 yrs stated he wasn't management or an owner but an "observer" during the actual police questioning refused to offer an option one way or another, even though he witnessed the event...... 🙈🙊🙉 Other than this isolated incident at this bar, I've only had great experiences. The bar staff are wonderful and attentive. But it makes me rethink my actual safety in an environment I'm supposed to be comfortable in without question. If this type of event and then action was not only taken against my friend, but me as an associate, why would I frequent an establishment that caters favor when wrong action is really actually wrong? One post from me on social was enough for #Marys #MarysAtlanta to reach out for dialogue. Let's see how the Hideaway handles my social media experience. Also, I applaude Mary's in EAV for reaching out (almost immediately) and swiftly addressing the issues I presented. As an alt Pup individual in Atlanta, I try to be courteous to all staff, tip well and understand that being patient is the best virtue they can value during budy times. Oh ya, this is a Public post. So anyone searching Facebook or the web will be able to pull these tags. Share and enjoy.

Drinks were a little costly which I don't mind if there's sufficient alcohol in the pour. Great atmosphere, sexy staff and pateons.

Walked in the other evening to find a room full of oiled down, nude men chasing each other around. One of them was running with a tub of butter. Not sure what was going on but they were giggling ecstatically and singing songs from Cher's last album. There was a midget dressed as an Ewok working as the bouncer. Five stars though because they gave out free hand rolled cigarettes.
