⚠️ WARNING ⚠️

The Local Hideout has been notified by Bloomington that too many people are skipping lunch and dinner and making questionable food choices at home. We have decided to step in and help.

That means you can enjoy your favorite meal and then treat yourself to one of our unique desserts without feeling quite as guilty about it.

Whether you’re craving a loaded brat, panini, flatbread pizza, or something else from our menu, now is the perfect excuse to save room for dessert.

TODAY 6/17/26 ⛈️

After closely monitoring the weather and out of an abundance of caution, we are going to make the call now and close today at 3:00 PM.

The safety of our customers, staff, and families always comes first. With the potential for severe weather and having small children at home, we feel this is the best decision.

We appreciate everyone’s understanding and support. If you’re looking to grab lunch before the storms move in, stop by and see us before 3:00 PM!

Stay safe, keep an eye on the weather, and we’ll see you soon at The Local Hideout Bar & Grill.

🚨 Ladies, are you tired of your husband asking, “What’s for lunch?” every 30 minutes? 🤣

We’ve heard some of you are already calling us “The Local Hideout Away From the Husbands!” We can’t confirm or deny those rumors… but we can confirm that we’ve got some great food waiting for you today! 🌭🍕🍨

The weather may not be cooperating, but that doesn’t mean you have to stay home. Come hide out with us, enjoy a delicious lunch or dinner, and let us do the cooking!

🕚 Open Today: 11:00 AM – 8:00 PM

As always, we’ll be keeping a close eye on the weather throughout the day. The safety of our customers and staff comes first. Since we do not have a basement or storm shelter, we will use our best judgment on whether to remain open or close if severe weather becomes a concern.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support of our small local business. We hope the storms stay away, and we look forward to serving you today at The Local Hideout Bar & Grill!
