I mean the ultimate WI bar. An old house still set up like an old house. Dingy old and perfect. Bluegill was some of the best I've had in the entire county. Highly recommend.

We never knew this place existed until stumbling upon it on Google Maps. It literally looks like just a house with a small sign out front. The bartender was very personable and the owner was the sweetest. Food was excellent! My boyfriend got the reuben which he loved! Thick sandwich with REAL meat (not lunch meat slices!) I got the garlic-lime shrimp skewers which were smokey and delicious! We can't wait to go back for the fish fry which seems to have amazing reviews! Glad we found this place!

We went for Fri fish fry. The food was excellent. I had the fried cod, and the breading was crispy without being oily. The broccoli crunch is a must-have addition. Very comfy atmosphere, if you like old fashioned and eclect bars.

The fish fry is phenomenal. Very friendly staff. The heated outside gathering spot gives a different meaning to night out. My man loved the burger with Mac and cheese on top. Food has been delicious every time.

I had the perch, fries and broccoli cauliflower crunch. My husband had the fish sampler, fries and coleslaw. Everything was delicious!

We were looking for a fish fry to try. We both had the cod-it was a bit tough, probably overcooked. It was served with a ton of tater tots and coleslaw that was a bit sweet for my taste. So the food was just okay in my opinion. The restaurant is in an old house. The eating area is in a part of the house that was added on to the original structure. This addition is definitely sagging quite a bit. There is noticeable water damage to the ceiling tiles. I also noticed some heavy duty cobwebs in the corners. Some high dusting or vacuuming is needed. Now I wonder what the kitchen looks like. I will say that the servers were extremely personable and attentive. Service was outstanding. We were here on a Friday. There is no reuben sandwich on Fridays. So if you're interested in that, don't go on a Friday. It was not very busy when we went but customers were coming in, so people like this place. I'm glad we tried it. I like to try new places but I don't think I'll be sending my friends or family there. Bring cash because you will be charged a fee if you use a card.

First time coming here for dinner while camping near by. We weren't sure what to expect. Walking in we were seated towards the back room and we were surrounded by a very quaint furnished area. Our table ordered the mushroom appetizer. It was very good. We also ordered the baked cod with potato pancakes and the broccoli crunch salad. I absolutely love how you can order an extra side with your meal. Also, the best crispy potato pancakes i have ever had. Usually they are soggy and i dislike them but the hideaway has the best potato crispy pancakes ever!!! The breaded cod is also absolutely delicious. For drinks must have the old fashioned. It was perfection as well. I must say the hideaway is amazing and we want to come back soon! Thank you for such great food and service.
Last minute decision to get food on way home and was first option from location we were at and it was ABSOLUTELY worth it. Great service and fish fry was excellent. We all had fried fish but each a different potato and sampled from all plates...homemade chips/fries were the clear favorite. Appreciate the history lesson of the building as well.

Honestly THE BEST Baked Fish around! The breaded fish is good, too! Truly a hidden gem.

Stopped in to nearby Bristol, WI to visit with a good friend on the mend. We looked for somewhere close-by for dinner and Yelp helped me find this place. Wow! We were out with another couple and had a great dinner and fantastic cocktails. The waitress was also the cook and the bar tender and also the daughter of the owners. What a great, intimate place for dinner and a cocktail. Looking at the menu, they have three different options for fish on Friday nights for their fish fry. We'll definitely be back for that! The Old Fashioned's we had were great. The burgers and chicken sandwiches were very good too. Don't be in a hurry and only go if you like small, quant eateries/taverns.

Went to the Hidaway for the first time . We had some great Old Fashions and a fish fry. Both were very good. Mike the bartender made excellent drinks. We even met the owners who were very friendly and the staff was very friendy and hard working . We will definitely go back .

I'm giving it 3 stars because of Betsy and Mike. The owners seem to be very nice but the waitress, Marty is AWFUL. She is rude, ignores customers, always looks annoyed and doesn't seem to know where the beer is kept. After a little awkward small talk that she was VISIBLY not interested in, She took down our name for our order and that was it. She walked away to help everyone else in the place except us. We finally caught her eye after about 20 minutes, she looked at us and then AS WE WERE TALKING TO HER, turned away to help someone else!! I wish I could say it was just because it was busy but it's been that way every time we have been there. Mike finally took our order and served us for the rest of our time there but we probably won't go back. A shame because Betsy is incredible. She greets everyone as they walk through the door, even if it's busy, she remembers our names, our beers, and our usual order.
Great Fri fish
