The Hideaway Grill, Cave Creek AZ

Arizona Bike Week is quickly becoming one of the largest bike rallies in the country. Celebrating its 16th year in March 2012.
Hundreds of thousands of riders trek to the Phoenix area for a week of early season riding and partying before continuing on to CycleFest at WestWorld in Scottsdale.


For many people, the party doesn't start until they pull into The Hideaway Grill, just outside of Phoenix in Cave Creek, Arizona. Mark Bradshaw opened The Hideaway Grill back in 1998. He wanted a place where bikers could get out of the city, get some wind in their faces and relax with some great food and a frosty beverage. For 13 plus years, The Hideaway has continued to attract more and more of the Arizona Bike Week crowd.... and become quite possible the perfect biker bar!

Hideaway Grill features a daily Happy Hour from 2 til 6pm, with free food and discounted drinks. Every day of the week is special, from Taco Tuesdays with 75 cent tacos to Blue Collar Night, with cheap PBRs and well drinks.

Bike Night is pretty much every night, but the official "Double Down" Bike Night is Friday, when you can make your drink a double for an extra 2 bucks. The staff is friendly, attentive and hard-working


The menu at The Hideaway ranges from  chicken wings and cheese sticks to salads, burgers, hot dogs and pizza. They recently added a breakfast menu and now open at 6 AM for those who want to get in a full day of riding!

Mark Bradshaw was honored as  Arizona Bike Week Hero of the Year in 2010. for his hard work, dedication and selfless contributions to the biker community. Congrats, Mark! Keep up the good work! 

If you're planning to attend Arizona Bike Week and Cyclefest, make sure you pay a visit to The Hideaway. Say Hi to Mark, get a picture with one of the bartenders, and grab a Quickie before an awesome day of riding (it's a breakfast dish). Don't forget to tell them that Jeff from Bars4Bikers.com sent you!

Chrome Horse Saloon, Cedar Rapids, IA

Our featured Bar of the Week is The Chrome Horse Saloon and Slop House in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. It opened in 2004, featuring an 80 seat outdoor patio and an ice bar. The decor is pure motorcycle, and features 6 bikes hanging from the walls and rafters, including a super-rare 1911 Excelsior. Chrome Horse Saloon was well on it's way to becoming one of the top biker-friendly bars in the Midwest.



Then came the Cedar Rapids Flood of 2008. The Chrome Horse Saloon took on 12 feet of water in the devastation, and it was weeks before the owners could get in to see what they could salvage. After 9 months of hard work and determination, on March 13, 2009, Chrome Horse Saloon re-opened bigger and better! A great menu (Try the Biker Trash Pizza!), huge selection of canned, bottled and draft beers (Fat Tire on tap!), and live music, both indoors and outdoors, makes the Chrome Horse Saloon a top destination during a day of riding! They've had national acts like Hank Williams III, Blues Traveler, Jeff Healey Band and Black Oak Arkansas, and host some of the top local bands in Iowa.



The Chrome Horse Saloon is located at 1202 Third Street SE in Cedar Rapids. It's located only 27 miles from the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa, and is 28 miles from the headquarters of  J & P Cycles,  where they're holding their annual Open House June 25th and 26th. If you are ever in the biker Mecca that is eastern Iowa, stop in to the Chrome Horse Saloon! You'll be glad you did! Tell them Jeff from Bars4Bikers.com sent you!
