Hideout

This longtime neighborhood tavern and retreat for local working class folk has become a focal point of the Chicago bar scene, has been featured in Rolling Stone magazine as Best Of Chicago, and for good reason. This is one of the few bars in town that does not stick to one genre of music. Rather, it presents the best of jazz, rock, folk, and basically anything as long as it's great. There's a certain rustic charm about the place, with a mounted deer head over the register, and a stuffed marlin in the adjacent Chinook Lounge. There are live acts every day of the week.
