The Hideout

Dalva’s Not-So-Secret Back Bar the Hideout Sneaks Back Open For the First Time in Years | Eater SF

"Tucked in the back of Dalva, the Hideout reopens on Friday, August 19 and will be open Fridays and Saturdays from 8 p.m. to close. I learned from owners Erik Reichborn-Kjennerud and Eric Ochoa that although they updated the space to better work for staff, customers shouldn’t notice visual changes—“it’s going to look basically the same”—and that the biggest change is the menu: a dozen classic cocktails ranging from an icy gin martini to a whiskey-laced Gold Rush plus a tempting list of spirits. The owners say they’ve inverted the two bars so the Hideout now provides the dark, moody dive-bar energy they hope will attract industry folks after work, serving “classic cocktails done with really good booze.” Bartenders will work with a limited number of spirits and modifiers, patrons will often fetch their own drinks, the space seats about 40 between down and upstairs (including six stools at the bar), and it will be available for private parties and pop-ups." - Lauren Saria
