T h e o wners of The Hideaway are newlyweds Courtney and Camilo Usuga. Camilo worked in the restaurant industry for a few years before he decided he would like to open a restaurant of his own. Together with his then girlfriend Courtney, who was doing her internship at the Saba Tourist office, they made the decision to open a restaurant once she graduated. They envisioned opening a fun, vibrant and inviting restaurant with good food and drinks. Their vision soon became a reality and The Hideaway Bar and Restaurant opened its doors on December 31st, 2015. Both Courtney and Camilo work in the restaurant to ensure that everything goes smoothly and that their customers are happy. Along with their staff (who are awesome by the way), they have worked hard to make sure The Hideaway is a success. Jack Fire Glow Festival Parties The Hideaway has been known for throwing some of the best parties! During the Summer time, two main parties are held: The Jack Fire Glow Festival and Summer Splash. Both are themed parties. The Jack Fire Glow Festival has been thrown every summer since opening. This party includes lots of glow accessories, glow paint, glow jello shots and special deals on Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Fire. This year was the first time doing the Summer Splash party and it was a huge success. Party goers dressed in their best beach and summer wear and accessories like sunglasses and Hawaiian leis, were given out free of charge. Another party to note, is Halloween at The Hideaway. This party is usually thrown together with students of the Saba University School of medicine and is a fun night for all. The plaza is transformed into a haunted party zone with decorations, drink specials such as zombie juice and syringe jello shots. Costume prizes are also given. Taco Tuesday Every last Tuesday of the month The Hideaway has Taco Tuesday. Each Taco Tuesday the menu is different, offering about six types of tacos. However, a staple on the menu is the classic taco which is seasoned ground beef, cheese and lettuce. Other tacos are made up of shrimp, steak, chicken, etc. Once in a while they go a little crazy with their taco ideas and make something like the sushi taco! Tacos
