Four golf simulator bays off Davie: tiki drinks, dollar wings on the right night, and a multi-sport menu for non-golfers.
Hideout is off Davie near English Bay, and calling it a golf bar undersells the whole operation. Yes, there are four simulator bays with high-accuracy IDRA tracking that will log your slice with forensic detail. But load the multi-sport menu and suddenly you're playing virtual hockey, soccer, or bowling in the same bay with the same drinks, which is a much better description of what actually happens on date night. Tiki cups arrive with whatever you ordered. The wings are, reportedly, a dollar on the right night and worth every cent. Each bay seats up to eight, so you get a genuinely private room rather than a table in a loud bar. Book the bay ahead, load something neither of you has played before, and let whoever loses buy the next round of tiki drinks.
