About the bar
Cozy ambiance in a "New York style"-setting
Upon entering The Hideaway, visitors are welcomed by a cozy ambiance featuring a dark green color scheme, a brick wall, and retro bulbs casting a warm glow, creating a slight “New York style”-vibe. The minimalistic decor allows visitors to focus on the main attraction—the well-crafted cocktails. Jazz music playing softly in the background complements the overall relaxed vibe.
While the front room is relatively well furnished, the backroom definitely lacks the attention to detail, with almost no décor and furnished with tables and chair that could be found in a cheap pizzeria – So if there is room, stay in the front.

The homemade hand-cut clear ice cube adds a touch of sophistication, while the subtle bitter aftertaste completes the experience.
Parmigiano Sour
A Savory Sour
For a unique twist, The Hideaway's Parmigiano Sour presents a savory variation of the classic Pisco Sour. The Parmigiano garnish introduces an interesting aroma, creating a well-balanced blend of sour and sweet. Sherry adds a slight nuttiness, harmonizing the flavors for a distinctive taste.
While we appreciate the idea and creativeness that this cocktail showcases, we found the Parmigiano to be a bit misplaced in this specific cocktail.
Pistaberry
Chocolate, Cream and Berries
The Pistaberry cocktail is a creamy concoction. With berry flavors and a mild chocolate taste, this cocktail offers a rich and satisfying experience. The balance of nuttiness and the presence of raspberry make it a delightful choice if you have a sweet tooth.
