"Conveying chic beach bungalow vibes, I found the 5,500-square-foot Hideaway has come ashore in Pacific Beach on Mission Boulevard near the iconic Crystal Pier. Related to Tower12, the space echoes that pier-side venue’s retro decor honoring vintage surf culture and leans on a casual menu of American regional classics. With a public grand opening party scheduled for Thursday, June 20, the restaurant will offer live music and DJs and a variety of hangout options including outdoor patios, cozy fireside lounges, and large dining areas for groups, each supported by two full-service bars with 30 beer taps, specialty drinks, and large-format “social bowls” of sharable cocktails ranging from a flaming Volcano bowl to a mini party keg filled with margaritas. The all-day, late-night menu features bar bites, salads, wings, wood-fired pizza, sandwiches and burgers, and comfort-food favorites such as chicken pot pie, braised short ribs, rotisserie chicken, and rigatoni with meatballs, with weekend brunch in the works." - Candice Woo
