Steal Away For A Few Hours And Hideout With Al Capone.
Al Capone’s Hideaway
Couderay, Wisconsin
Step outside this century, and join the mob back to the Roaring Twenties, when you dine and tour Al Capone’s Hideaway in Couderay, Wisconsin. There is so much more here than just fine dining, cocktails and a snack bar. Al offers up a Roaring Twenties Museum, guided tours and a gift shop. It’s a shame it’s kept so well-hidden, as it’s something no one should miss.
Reportedly, famous Chicago gangster, Al Capone, used this place in Couderay, Wisconsin as a hideout from the likes of Elliott Ness, and anyone else meant to bring him down. During the walking guided tour, you will be introduced to the mob boss’s main lodge on the property, with its hand-cut stone fireplace and custom-made spiral staircases created in Chicago. You will also see the Gun Tower, where machine gun-armed guards watched out for the authorities whenever Capone was hiding out.
AAA recommends the Hideout as a place of exceptional interest in the Northwest Wisconsin region. The museum itself is nationally recognized for its artifacts from the 1929 St. Valentine’s Day massacre, and memorabilia of Elliott Ness and The Untouchables. You don’t need Geraldo Rivera to open a vault to see any of this, as it’s open to the public, and guaranteed to hold more than a few empty liquor bottles.
The fine dining restaurant of Al Capone’s Hideout in Wisconsin includes a menu of porterhouse and other steaks, chicken, pork chops, seafood such as stuffed shrimp, glorious Italian cuisine such as Sirloin Italiano, Shrimp Scampi, and veal parmigiana, and some of the best prime rib you will find. And, of course, the Hideaway features a terrific Friday Night Fish Fry of Icelandic Haddock. Despite bringing you back to the time of prohibition, cocktails are served both here and in the snack bar, which includes items such as Chicago style hot dogs, pizza, and ice cream.

Is this place still open? Their website no longer exists, and no one answers the phone.
The “place” is open from May to Labor Day, as stated in the informaiton above so look for them again in May and go and enjoy the experience!
I was just up in that area June 21 and after some extensive looking found Al Capones hideaway. I was closed for the season. So if you looking to go there it will not happen. I was very disappointed!! I was very anxious to go there and it was closed. Bummer Even tried calling the phone number and could not get through.
Went to see it 2 years ago, it was great & the food was so good & drinks also. Went to see Public Enemy & wanted to take my son & his wife up there. I thought it was so interesting. Sorry to hear it is shut down. What a shame, couldn’t some gangster reopen itLOL
I was just past the former site of “the hideway”. I am pretty sure it is goe for good. The huge sign on highway CC pointing down the driveway is nothing but two tall utility poles with a “AAA recommeded” sign on top. All of the signs concerning the hideway are gone. Also no mention of it in the Hayward summer happenings as there always was. Maybe they were closed due to tax evasion!!!
Was foreclosed on this past spring. The sheriff’s auction is 8 Oct…The bank is reportedly not going to accept less that $2.6 million
The hideout has been reported closed and for sale by the news media in Milwaukee.
