The Hideout - Chicago

The Hideout is a regular bar for irregular folks who just don't fit in, or just don't want to fit in. It has been called the Hideout since it opened (legally) in 1934. The Hideout is the last hold-out of the rebel club. It is located in the center of the industrial corridor along the North Branch of the Chicago River. It is surrounded by factories, and the looming City of Chicago Fleet Management Facility. Every night for over a decade, artists of punk rock, alt-country, indie rock, post-rock, whatever- break out their instruments and play like it is the last night on earth./n/nThe Hideout is a regular bar for irregular folks who just don't fit in, or just don't want to fit in.
