The Hideout

Illinois’ Minimum Wage Increases for 2023 | Eater Chicago

"A dive and small concert venue nestled between Lincoln Park and Bucktown along the Elston Industrial Corridor, the Hideout is reopening Tuesday, January 10 after a two‑month closure prompted by an Instagram post from a former worker who said owners created a toxic workplace that was not welcoming to Black people; among the incidents cited was an allegation that ownership refused to act when the worker was spat on by a white customer, the worker was later fired for alleged performance issues, and ownership says they’ve used the closure to create a Diversity & Inclusion Council and better staff resources." - Ashok Selvam
