Hideaway

I absolutely love the hideaway. They just do it right. Their prices are good, selection even better. Went in on Black Friday for the 40%/50% off/​BOGO sale and scored some nice smoking lamps. My friend got a waterpipe there for 60 bucks! I just went for some cheap smoking accessories and some other stuff.

I was in the market for a new one hitter, so I stopped by here when husband and I were done getting chicken fingers at Raisin’ Cane’s a few doors over.
Walking into the store was amazing. I’d never seen a smoke shop as big as this. The whole front room was their tobacco selections, mostly shisha and cigarettes. Seeing packs of Djarum clove cigarettes made me feel nostalgic for my younger days when you could still smoke in bars and then sick because clove cigarettes are disgusting. I did not inhale.
We walked into the back and there was a huge selection of glassware. I couldn’t even figure out where the hell to look, even after the lady behind the counter told me where I should be. Most of the pipes were made in China, but they did have a small selection of locally-​made glassware (with prices to match). Further down the line and all the way in the back were crack pipes. Fucking disgusting. But whatever… crackheads gonna crack.
I chose a small pink glass pipe (NOT crack pipe… I am far too fat to be a crackhead) for $ 10 and went on my merry way. All in all, super impressed with the selection and the price and I’d visit again.

I moved from MN to Seattle a couple years ago, and I must say that Seattle doesn’t have anything on Hideaway. I felt like I needed to update my first review to let people know that this store is truly the best. You would assume a big city could top this chain of stores, however I have been severely disappointed with most head shops in the Pacific Northwest. I went back to MN this last January and then again in May, I made sure I had time to stop in to Hideaway and look at their great selection before I left. Bought a couple pieces to bring with me back to Seattle, to show my friends that THERE IS BETTER GLASS. MN Legit/​Hideaway, thank you for the great selection. I will always find time to stop and shop when I’m in MN :)

Great selection– shady employees
Hideaway has everything you’d need.
Know the rules– no pics, no weed talk or stoner slang. Employees are helpful but easilly upset– mostly hippy girls with dreads (do not offend their style or have an attitude)
Be chill, find what you need, & enjoy the culture of shopping at Hideaway

Great place and love the staff! Anyone can find something, wide variety of price and style. Parking can be hard but hey it’s Dinkytown, don’t use that one lot behind it anymore they actually tow cars now.
The only bad review about this place is from someone who asked the staff if they sell weed there *face palm*

Best pipe shop in MN hands down!!! Great selection with plenty of choices at all price ranges. I bought a sidecar from here for 30 and most people guess I paid around 100 for it. If your around dinky town and looking for some new glass this place is the only né I’d recommend.
And to the idiots that asked if they sell weed. Your going to get grief from any glass shop in MN if asked this question. These are professional establishments that don’t participate in illeagal activities.

I go here for Hookah stuff and they have great shisha selection (get FANTASIA if you’re unfamiliar !) and also their coals are well priced and a great variety — everyone has their favorite coals of course, and they happen to carry mine. Enjoy!

Apparently there is a store policy that says the people who work there can be complete ass holes.
My girlfriend asked whether they sell weed there and they became complete ass holes asking us to leave. We didn’t know that they had a story policy that was written in fine print somewhere in the store that prohibits us from asking that question. If the sign was visible then we would’t have asked. What was funny, as we were walking out someone asked the same thing and guess what? Automatic response by the clerks was to do what? That’s right, become ass holes.
Why the store policy is designed for the clerks to becomes rude ass holes instead of politely saying something like «No we don’t sell weed here and our products are designed for tobacco use only» is beyond me. What is wrong with that instead of turning into complete dicks?
Terrible service. Go somewhere else, there are plenty of shops that sell this kind of paraphernalia and are ok with talking about weed because everyone knows that’s what it’s for especially when they put weed emblems on their merchandise.
Geez I wonder what marijuana leaf on this pipe means but we can’t say anything about it even rhetorically. What kind of hypocrites are these store owners anyway? Unbelievable.

Holy glass, batman.
For some reason it’s hard to find a headshop that can maintain class and more importantly, organization. The Hideaway has both of these down pat.
It’s very easy to look around at all of the different pieces. Yes, overwhelming, but categorized and displayed attractively. They also have an impressive selection of hookahs and uniquely crafted hiding mechanisms for… goodies.
I could have spent hours upon hours drooling all over the pretty blown glass from local artists. They really do a good job of collaborating and selling work from artists in the Minneapolis area, which I enjoy. Lots of giveaways and opportunities to get discounts, from what I can see on their Facebook page.
The staff is awesome, down to earth, and helpful. Top notch place.

I’m amused that they call themselves «The Hideaway» because absolutely nothing is hidden. The second you enter you’re surround by pipes, hookahs and other contorted glass thingys in well-​lit cases.
I came in on the hunt for a hookah and instead of feeling overwhelmed by the vast selection, my roommate and I were asked by 3 different employees if we needed any assistance. I ended up finding exactly what I was looking for: a baby hookah ($ 15!) and some wild mint shisha.
The saleswoman informed us of the buy one, get one half off tobacco sale, so we also left with another flavor that’s an apparent customer favorite.
In summary: Huge selection. Great service. Glad I finally stopped in!
