Now, the 850-square-foot house, where some of the original elements have been preserved, has a renewed life that harkens back to a Colonial, cozy vintage look with white wainscoting and dark wood floors—and plenty of room for modern hospitality options. "There are so many cocktails, classic ones that people don't know about, like three dots and a dash, and it's nice to show how drinks have evolved from pre-Prohibition to New Era," Jacobs said. The cocktail menu spans four distinct periods — pre-Prohibition, Prohibition, tiki and New Era — and use original, historically-accurate recipes, Jacobs said. Jacobs described the food as "New American," with entrees than range from squash ravioli with shiitake mushrooms to miso-marinated salmon served with ramen noodles.

He's been in Chandler for a "long while" now and to open a place like Hidden House in his community feels "amazing," he said. Jacobs hopes that his restaurant feels like a relaxing escape for people from their day-to-day struggles. It's not every day you can dine in a historic cottage built in 1939.
Chef Brent Tratten
He has dedicated over 10 years of his professional career to the study of liquid chemistry and the power of flavor profiles to create an immaculate drink. After working at some of Phoenix's finest dining establishments and launching his own apparel company, Gavin shifted his focus to hospitality and opened his first restaurant in 2012. He now owns and operates The Brickyard Downtown, a 90 seat craft cocktail and tapas restaurant.
Lunch Menu
Originally from South Africa, Gavin Jacobs, a restauranteur and ASU W.P. Carey alumnus, has a deep rooted passion for serving the community of Chandler through an unparalleled dining experience. The Hidden House offers flexibility to diners with reservations for on-site dining, delivery options or take out for their various entrees and cocktails to go. The seasonal fare, overseen by chef Aaron Rickel, includes appetizers like avocado toast, pork belly tacos, lobster mac & cheese, and Hamachi crudo.
Our Chef-crafted menu
Jacons said there will be around 100 wines on the menu, eight beers on tap, and more than 30 beers available in cans. Bobby was 1 of 9 selected globally to fly to Scotland and assist in developing the Achentochen Bartender’s Malt No. 2. This limited release is now available for purchase by bottle, and also featured in a few drinks at The Brickyard. In a year of unprecedented volatility, he brought a level of consistency, innovation and leadership that has profoundly shaped the Hidden House experience. Brent is dedicated to his team of cooks and chefs, and encourages a culture of creative freedom so that his team can realize their true potential.
Phoenix Area Restaurants to Dine Outside
During his tenure at Top of the Rock and LON’s, Brent was introduced to unique approaches to upscale cuisine, which contributed to the framework he now uses when ideating on new recipes and creating innovative New American dishes. His desire is to provide guests an elevated, yet approachable dining experience that nurtures authentic connection. From historic buildings to custom fabrics, he believes that the environment of the dining experience is as important as the food and drink itself.
Happy Hour & Bar Menu
Appetizers and bar food include pork belly tacos, truffle mac n' cheese and shishito peppers with candied ginger. "The reason I’m in this business is because I want to take care of people, I want to nourish," Jacobs said. "I believe in people, family, and love, pulling people together – no matter how bad it is in the world, sit them down and take them away from that."
Dinner Menu
Since the beginning of time, people from peasants to royalty required fine food and drinks to complete their festivities. We believe in celebrating you, celebrating life, and slowing down to enjoy the finer things - like good conversation and good flavors.This 1939 home, once disregarded by its community, is now repurposed into a gathering place. Birthed from a passion to connect people, driven by a desire to share adventure through global flavors, The Hidden House is a place where you can call home. He described the menu as chef-driven new American with a twist. He said people could expect to see ribeye steak, sea bass, salmon, hamburgers, duck quesadilla, calamari, salads, and soups on the menu.
Our Team
The cocktail book lineup includes generation-specific drinks such as sidecars, Hemingway daiquiris, and chartreuse swizzles from pre-Prohibition, Prohibition, Tiki and New Age eras—designed lightest to darkest—and tap cocktails that are made in-house. In addition, approximately 100 wines, eight beers on tap, and more than 30 canned beers are available. A more upscale traditional dining experience can be found inside the cottage where there are tables topped with white linen, rolled napkins, and wine glasses.

Behind that is a hangar, which has more of an outdoor-that-is-indoor feel with live trees, floral chandeliers, booths and tables, and two 14-foot garage-style windows that open and connect to the back patio. There is 16-foot barn door that leads out to a small area where people can play a game of corn hole. We believe that people are more than their job titles, their struggles, or their labels. We believe that everyone deserves a break from everyday stress.
“There was more than a need for the concept,” says Jacobs of The Hidden House’s multi-dining vibe, a focus the team put a lot of thought and detail into before opening the doors for business last summer. Its cheeky name might suggest The Hidden House is off the beaten path. But the 1939 cottage-turned-restaurant in historic Downtown Chandler is no longer a mystery. Enjoy a round of bags, an aged beer or groove to the tunes of a live band on the stage. "When you get a blank slate, (I think) what can I do that’s different, special for the community?" Jacobs said. "You start working away at it, and it took a lot of time. I've been to a lot of places, from South Africa to Israel to every major city in the U.S. to see what’s going on. The focus has always been on trying to do something different."
