A garment hanging device includes an elongated bar, having a plurality of receptacles defined in the bar, each of which can receive a garment hanger. Each receptacle has a receiving portion open at the top edge of the bar, and a retaining portion between the top and bottom edges being connected with the receiving portion. At least one hook is provided, having a coupling end pivotably coupled to the bar, a hooking portion extending from the coupling end through an apex portion opposite the coupling end to a terminal end. A distance between the hook's pivot point on the bar and a corresponding receptacle corresponds to a distance between the coupling end and the apex portion such that the hook is flexed and pivoted into a stowed position wherein the apex portion is disposed within the corresponding receptacle, and into a deployed position wherein the apex portion is removed from the corresponding receptacle.
