About this place
Bar Hide Out in Kameido is the sort of neighborhood spot that welcomes drop-ins for an after-work drink just as easily as those looking for a proper, satisfying meal. Alongside the cocktails, wine, beer, and spirits expected of a bar, the establishment stands out for a substantial food menu designed to fill the table.
A good place to start alongside a drink is the thoughtful selection of à la carte bites. The house-smoked platter brings together bacon, cheese, nuts, pickled plum, and quail eggs, flanked by options like house-made liver pâté and chili con carne served with baguette slices. Other picks range from savory anchovy potatoes and garlic butter chicken to refreshing tomato kimchi, letting guests tailor their appetizers to whatever they feel like sipping.
For heartier appetites later in the evening, the menu turns to comforting mains. Offerings include penne with pâté cream sauce, dry curry, chef’s-choice pasta, a daily risotto, and a daily doria gratin ordered with either meat or white sauce. The kitchen also provides traditional Japanese finishes like grilled rice balls and chilled green-tea cha-soba noodles, giving guests plenty of ways to settle in and enjoy the quiet surroundings at their own pace.
