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.
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.
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.
