Getting lost in a moment of nostalgia is what Johnny’s Hideaway is all about. Losing your mind as the first pulsing notes of your favorite ‘70s disco hit begin to echo across the nightclub is what Johnny’s Hideaway is all about. Losing your inhibitions and cutting loose on the dance floor with friends and strangers is what Johnny’s Hideaway is all about.

But losing your stuff? That is simply a bummer. Fortunately, Johnny’s Hideaway is as well versed in taking care of lost property as it is in taking care of its guests. Johnny’s staff carefully stores anything left behind at the end of the night, and people are welcome to return during business hours to pick up forgotten items. Johnny’s opens at 11 a.m. Monday through Friday, and at noon on Saturday and Sunday. Johnny’s closes at 3 a.m. every night except Sunday, when the music stops at midnight.

Johnny’s Hideaway has been serving up “dancing, dining and cocktails” in Buckhead for 45 years, and it has had more than a few unusual things left behind. Among the more interesting items, staff members have found a single shoe, a pair of leggings, dentures, wedding rings, a passport and one woman once returned to retrieve her pants. Given that discretion is the better part of valor, when pressed to share more about the story of the pants episode, Johnny’s representative only offered, “Woman walks into the bar. Woman leaves her pants. Woman comes back and picks up pants.”

Perhaps the single most common items guests leave behind are credit cards. Other things that are routinely left include jackets, phones, sunglasses, hats and jewelry. In the case of credit cards, the cardholder must come back and present identification to retrieve the card. Otherwise, guests can send friends to pick up items, but that individual must be able to accurately describe the lost items.

Johnny’s holds all items that are left behind for 120 days. After that, credit cards are destroyed, and any personal items are donated to Goodwill. If clients want to confirm whether an item was indeed left, they can call Johnny’s main number, 404-233-8026. For guests who visit Johnny’s from out of town and are unable to come back to collect their belongings, Johnny’s can arrange shipping.
