Hunter’s Hideaway gets a new look

By Anthony Godson Editor A new family-oriented restaurant recently moved into downtown Nappanee, the only problem is the restaurant was always there. Hunter's Hideaway, 153 S. Main St., has long been viewed as just a local tavern, but with recent renovations, that mindset may be changing. "We wanted to make it more of a family-friendly atmosphere, not just a tavern," Hunter's Hideaway Manager Miriam Hochstetler said. "Our main thing was to set it up to make it feel more like the corporate restaurants." By corporate restaurants, Hochstetler refers to the set ups used by the Hacienda's, Applebee's and T.G.I. Friday's of the world. At these restaurants, bars are accessible, but so to is plenty of dining space. "We have a non-smoking dining area, which is a great positive for the community," Hochstetler said. The establishment built a dividing wall between the bar area and its non-smoking area last January, and with its latest renovations, a loft is also now available. "With the additional dining area, we've added between’so to 70 more seats," Hochstetler said. NOSTaigio

The area above the restaurant used to be a vacant apartment, but its now an area utilized by customers. "We had to put in a new heating system, so we went ahead and built the loft too," Hochstetler said. In the loft, a big screen television can be found, and Hochstetler said the area can be reserved. "In the loft, we can seat between 50 and 70 people, so it can be used for groups, or for regular customers," she said. Renovations began in the beginning of November, and once construction was over, Hunter's Hideaway saw its biggest crowd. "We opened with the new renovations on Nov. 23, and had a record day," she said. Customers had waited to see the new renovations, and shared positive thoughts on the improvements. ' "Customers were just really in awe, and loved it," Hochstetler said. With the improvements, Hochstetler hopes the community can see Hunter's more as a restaurant, than a bar. "It was a misconception," Hochstetler said about the restaurant's reputation as just being a bar. "We've had people come in, who didn't even know that it was also a restaurant." In time, Hochstetler sees that

hot dogs, play some foosball and basketball, or they can just hang out. "We can get about 600 to 700 kids in for the Teen Club," Slagle said. The Teen Club is under the same roof as the Event Center, and even share some of the same space. The Teen Club is on the north end of the building, which contains a stage, sound booth, dining area and a lounge. The Teen Club also has collapsible windows, which allows youths to flow into the Event Center to play basketball, foosball and other games. While youths will have the liberty to have fun at the Teen Club, supervision will be prevalent. Right now, the Teen Club and Event Center are both venues to showcase Christian values, but Slagle commented that The Tower is open to non-Christian' performances and DJ'd music as well. "We do have a lot of Christian Contemporary music, but there will also be some secular music too," Slagle said. While it may be open to secu-

lar music, there are lines. "We do have strict standards of discipline and God-honored performances," he said. Slagle currently sees the Event Center hosting six to eight Christian Contemporary concerts each year, but he wouldn't mind seeing other types to music performed at the venue. "I'm not opposed to having some good Country Western here," Slagle said. "I also wouldn't mind seeing some Big Bands or Jazz." Slagle also threw out the possibility of a Dinner Concert, which would be a catered affair. A Battle of Bands could also be in the cards for the Teen Club. "I would like to see live performances at the Teen Club,"* Slagle said. "I'm anxious to see the local talent. All they need to do is submit a CD, a glossy and we may look to promote them."
