Here’s what the Brain Bucket Magazine had to say about the Hideout Patio Bar & Grill.
Jerry W. Wolcott is a man just enjoying the ride. Whether hitting the open road on his Thunder Mountain custom motorcycle or watching customers enjoy Fort Collins’ newest bar and grill, Wolcott is a happy man.
Colorado - Pat Ferrier (Coloradoan) - Wolcott, 66, came out of retirement in April to open The Hideout Patio Bar and Grill on Lincoln Avenue. It’s a job that suits the former RV and auto dealer and avid biker.
“The whole idea of this was to have a place for people regardless of their hobbies or walks of life to come and enjoy them-selves and have a good time,” he said. “I’m having a ball.” Five huge garage doors in front open to an ex-pansive patio below with a stage and dance floor partially covered by fabric sails. Garage doors on each side create a natural air flow. Gigantic ceiling fans provide a constant breeze in the event Mother Nature won’t cooperate. Wolcott has owned the 1.67 acres underneath The Hideout for 24 years. It once held a commercial rental building that was damaged “beyond sensible financial repair,” he said. He razed the building and wondered what to do next with the property. “Dirt doesn’t appreciate in value,” he said on Wednesday as the lunch crowd filtered in. Cruising on his bike through Texas, Arizona and Southern California during his 11 months of retirement, he wracked up 14,000 miles on two bikes and saw lots of ideas for the next part of his life. Fast forward 11 months and retirement is just a view in his rear-view mirror. “It’s not that I was bored, I stayed busy but felt like I needed to do something for the property.” With about
55,000 registered motorcycle owners in Larimer County and few places left for them to go since Bruce’s in Severance and the Feed and Grain in Timnath closed, Wolcott got the idea for The Hideout. “And here we are,” with 21 employees serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, a full bar, stage and dance floor, he said. Bartender Rusty Clin-ite said Wolcott is just a “down-to-earth, great guy” who had a vision for what he wanted to do and made it happen. Billed as Northern Colorado’s “newest and best biker themed bar and restaurant,” The Hideout plays host to business people bikers, music lovers and others who sit table-to-table enjoying the in-door/outdoor ambience, Wolcott said. “We get a very good mix of people,” Wolcott said. During a lunch crowd last week, Wolcott said he counted between six and eight business men in suit and ties; 30 “blue collar guys” and eight to 10 bikers. Situated in a light in-dustrial zone across the street from Fort Collins Brewery, “we set it up with the biker theme but I wanted the blue-collar workers,” said Wolcott, who can look the part of biker or businessman, with a diamond stud earring and short thin-ning tail of red hair at the back of his neck. The patio atmosphere at The Hideout means it is one of the few restaurant/bars where patrons can still smoke since the state smoking ban went into effect two years ago. It’s a factor that Wolcott says helps business, but it’s far from the only reason people come to The Hideout, he said.
