A long time ago, late 50's or early 60's, the Hideaway was named by Jack Foster from Portland, Oregon.
He jungled with Jim Davis and they were in there having some suds. They were
the only ones that weren't locals and many were from the railroad.
Jack was talking to the bartender and said, "a lot of these fellows stay a longtime."
The bar keep replied, " They come down here to hide out before going home at night."
Jack's reply was, "This must be the Hideaway." The name stuck.
