About Hideaway Bar and Restaurant Ponsonby

Hideaway is Ponsonby's garden bar and restaurant, tucked down a laneway off Ponsonby Road. It's built around a fun, vibrant atmosphere — a sunny outdoor garden bar for a cold beer or a cocktail, paired with pizzas and small plates to share.

Hideaway is known for its bottomless brunch and dinner offerings, branded as the Boujee Bottomless Brunch and Boujee Bottomless Dinner, alongside a craft beer and cocktail list that guests have singled out for praise. The venue is both family and pet friendly, with a mix of indoor and outdoor seating in its garden setting.

Tucked away down The Laneway off Ponsonby Road, Hideaway has built a reputation as a hidden oasis — a relaxed garden pavilion for a sunny afternoon, a group brunch, or an evening of pizza and drinks.

Hideaway: Ponsonby's Garden Bar and Restaurant Down The Laneway

Tucked down The Laneway off Ponsonby Road, Hideaway lives up to its name — a hidden garden bar and restaurant that guests describe as a genuine oasis in the middle of the city. It's built around fun, vibrant food and atmosphere, with a sunny outdoor garden setting made for a cold beer or a cocktail.

Bottomless Brunch and Dinner

Hideaway has built its reputation on its bottomless dining offerings — the Boujee Bottomless Brunch and Boujee Bottomless Dinner — giving guests a relaxed, all-in way to spend an afternoon or evening in the garden bar. Both experiences run under their own terms and conditions, so it's worth checking details before booking.

Pizzas, Small Plates and Craft Beer

Beyond the bottomless offerings, the food menu centres on pizzas and small plates built for sharing. Reviewers have singled out the pizzas as a highlight, with one guest naming the artichoke pizza a personal favourite after a relaxed Sunday lunch in the garden pavilion. On the drinks side, Hideaway pours a craft beer selection that's earned praise from guests — one review went as far as calling it Ponsonby's only microbrewery — alongside a full cocktail list.

A Hidden, Family and Pet Friendly Garden Bar

What guests keep coming back to mention is the atmosphere: greenery, warmth, and a friendly vibe hidden down an alleyway just off Ponsonby Road. The venue is both family and pet friendly, with a mix of indoor and outdoor seating so it works for a sunny afternoon session or a more sheltered evening. Hideaway is also available for private hire, making it an option for group events in the garden setting.
