Each person has brought their own ideas and interests to the table. Jeff, Irma, and the Wright children have taken this project on as a labor of love. After climbing the stairs to the rooftop bar, guests can enjoy the scenery of the entire downtown area, with a drink in hand, and good company beside them. “We have future plans to extend the outdoor area, creating one seamless place for guests to enjoy,” said Jeff. As you go up the stairs, you find yourself in another bar area, that also leads to the rooftop patio for guests to enjoy. On the bottom floor, you will find a bar, two-stage areas, arcade games, the MMA ring, and seating areas for patrons. The Hideout location includes three separate levels. Currently, a giant MMA fighting ring has been placed in the back of the event venue that will be used for the Peak Fighting event. The Hideout will officially open its doors on October 23rd, with an event hosted by Peak Fighting. MMA Ring for Peak Fighting Event located within The Hideout Though the whiskey barrel is falling apart, it appears as though their venue was ‘meant to be,’ with the connection to the prohibition era. One of the greatest finds the Wright family has come across during their renovations, was finding an early 1900’s whiskey barrel, hidden underneath the alley bricks and mud. During the construction and renovation process, the Wright’s have encountered many hidden pieces of Texarkana’s own Prohibition History. If you look closely enough, you may see some of your very own Texarkana locals in one of the many murals adorning the walls of The Hideout. Hidden within the paintings are family faces, friends, and even some stores from the history of Texarkana. Each mural also holds special meaning to the family. Taylor has taken imagery from 1920’s gangster movies and historical events, and painted hidden Easter eggs throughout her murals around the building. One of the many key features found throughout The Hideout is their mural art, painted by local artist Darlene Taylor. Rooftop Patio area for guests to enjoy at The Hideout While every detail has been meticulously designed by Irma and Jeff, they note that their children have had a huge impact on the design, construction, and creation of The Hideout. Guests have the opportunity to relive their childhood memories of visiting an arcade while enjoying a great drink from the bar, and watching live bands, or fights. Spotted throughout the building are video arcade games from the late ’80s and ’90s. The specific attention to detail, highlighting the history of Texarkana, and the 1920’s prohibition era, are only part of what makes this new event venue and bar stand out. Old equipment from the original building has even been made into giant fans that will keep patrons cool. “I’ve been telling my girls whenever they go to an antique store, or to Goodwill, to find old odds and ends for us to use here!” Her design and repurposing of vintage items are found throughout the location.Įlectrical spools have been used to create hanging chandeliers, the original fixtures of the building including the boilers, heating and air etc., have been repurposed as fireplaces, tables, and chairs. “We have repurposed everything in this building,” said Irma. Irma and her daughters have been collecting vintage items for the building over the last few months to use and repurpose. Walking into The Hideout location, one can’t help but notice the incredible attention to detail found in every hanging fixture, bar table, seating area, and game.

The Hideout, according to the Wright family, is designed with the 1920s in mind.
Having sat as a storage building for years, family Patriarch Jeff, decided before COVID hit, that he wanted to use the location to add another event, bar, and recreational center for Downtown Texarkana’s growing list of businesses.
After opening El Frio in July, they have turned their attention towards their newest project: The Hideout.
