Bar Details
The Hideout’s location, just off Elston in the middle of an industrial corridor, seems like an unlikely one for a bar. But that doesn’t stop lines from forming outside for the dance parties, live music shows, theatrical performances, and soup nights it hosts. On nights with no scheduled events—or if you arrive before their start time—the place can feel like a sleepy neighborhood bar, low-key and cozy. An outdoor seating area with picnic tables affords a view of the scenic parking lot for the City of Chicago Fleet Management facility. —Julia Thiel
