A good friend Jon recommended this place for watching football. He assured me that you'll have a nice cold beer, friendly staff and good eats. Plus your team will win. So why not watch the Seahawks try to pull off the impossible at a poker hall. I didn't play any cards, didn't bet on the game (guess you can't do that in this state), but buddy Robert and I had an excellent time, helped by the amazing football game right in front of us at the bar. I ordered the five dollar club sandwich and Robert got the three dollar wings. Both were fine for bar food and the menu, although a bit too lengthy for this kind of place, offered almost everything for five bucks. Unless it was three for the wings.
Of course there are a few "characters" inevitably along Aurora at a card room. Most were either getting breakfast and coffee prepping for a long night of gambling or just sipping Rainiers and grubbing on fried food in plush rolling leather chairs at the poker tables. Robert and I were among the few that were there for the game, and there was one cat who was apperently kicked out of Qwest Field and made it to The Hideaway unbeknownst to him. Needless to say, he wasn't being served. The place erupted during Lynch's inspiring run near the end of the game. History was being made, and the moment was classic Shoreline.

From the aforementioned Robert:
ReplyDeleteThe wings were delicious and were presented better than the photo. I removed the extraneous stuff (celery, delicious blue cheese dressing) from the plate to slather the wings in the hot sauce. Also, this establishment has Manny's Pale Ale on draft and Bridgeport IPA by the bottle! Thumbs up!
