The Hideaway

2565 Franklin Blvd
Sacramento, CA 95817
(916) 455-1331

Some people are calling the Hideaway a dive bar. Others a tiki bar. They do cater to the tattooed, sometime rockabilly crowd and the place has a kind of tiki flare. The furnishings are sparse around the pool table with just a few tables, few booths and bar space. There's no windows and it looks divey from the outside, but it's not truly divey.

The first thing you notice is the really impressive menu. Burgers and fries and salad. Sounds basic, right? Well, not the way they do it. Giant, top quality burgers and salads with arugula, roasted beets and chevre. You will not believe how very un-divey the food is. We all loved our food from grilled cheese to pear and brie paninis and huge, juicy burgers. It can take a while to get your food but is worth every mouth-watering minute you wait.

The jukebox is quite phenomenal and probably the best one in Sacramento right now. Even if you don't particularly like a song, it all goes together so well. This is the type of place you want to hang out at. Bring some friends, get some drinks, grab a bite and stay a while. We will be back often!
