"String lights, hurricane candles, a disco ball, exposed wood beams—and some great live music. This is one of Chicago's oldest music venues, decked out with posters from past shows, brewery signs, and band flyers soliciting new members. Don't expect so much as a garnish here. The Hideout is a shot-and-beer joint—and they sell a lot of PBR and Jameson. You're here for up-and-coming acts, as well as some national headliners, poetry slams, podcast tapings, and even political panels—but at the end of it all, this is an old-school dive serving ice-cold beer." - Brad Japhe
