Another smaller, intimate place great for a drink and a chat. Excellent beer on tap , and good cocktails too.

Time Out San Francisco

The jukebox , named Orpheus, carries a wonderfully diverse array of sounds, from Cuban music to tiki kitsch. When it's not on, DJs spin drum 'n' bass, jazz , soul, funk, salsa and other odds and sods. Read more

Tom Coates

Nice bar that has some atmosphere and decent drinks. Better for slightly larger groups and good for meeting up with groups of friends.

Will Bertelsen

Apparently they have karaoke on some (non-strict) subset of Sunday nights. The space isn't great for this but it livens the place up. The pro move is (as always) get a hideout drink and bring it out.

Phillip Chin

They have a pretty decent selection of Belgium style beers . Try getting a bottle of Lindemans Framboise Lambic . It's a Belgium style sour beer and it's only $15. Light and refreshing. A good value .

Mika Jain

Order the special 'bourbon and ginger cocktail ' (not on the menu ) from the speakeasy cocktail bar inside.

Order beer here, but head to Hideout in the back for some bomb cocktails .

SFGate Manager

It's no longer much of a secret, but tucked in back of the Mission District dive classic Dalva, the Hideout is proof of the neighborhood 's secret desire to embrace cocktaildom.

Jonathan Percy

Sure Third Eye Blind wrote a song about this bar , but it is my favorite bar in the Mission. As the bartender for some goldfish .

Frances James

Head all the way to the bar in the back to order off the "real" cocktail menu

Sabina B.

Walk through to the back and grab a seat at the secret cocktail bar .

Joey Combs

They make a mean Moscow Mule here with ginger syrup , not beer ! It's so much better.

Kyle Minor

A no bs bar with bartenders who know their stuff. No cocktails list , so come armed with your favorite classic -- but no Cosmos , please! They're plain sick of them. Read more

Hideout in the back is where it's at!

Used to be goldfish , but now it's Costco style trail mix . Ask for it!

Cheap beers and a good place to hang if hideout is too crowded

Very cool place. Sangria is yummy. Hideout is in the back - better drinking ?

The bar in the back is intimate and fun with amazing cocktails

If you get peckish while you're imbibing, head next door to Truly Mediterranean and bring back some tasty felafel to go with your beer .

Donald

Sangria during happy hour for $3 can't beat those prices (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

The tiny back bar is great, but very crowded .
