If you love good live indie music in a place that also loves and whole heartedly supports it, you gotta go.

Always love coming to the Hideout, small venue with great sound. Great place to see acts up close and more personal.

Great place for a show. Can get a little too cozy for comfort if the show is sold out Still, it's a Chicago institution worth visiting & supporting.

I played this place with my 10 piece band, I cant say what an amazing place this is to play. The green room, staff, and ambiance are yet to be matched. The sound guy working that night was attentive and made our band sound the best it has ever been live. The drummer and I laughed in the middle of the set because we could finally hear all the parts of the tuba, violin, cello, flute, and PAKAHAWAJ.

The Hideout feels like a small summer camp rec hall converted into a hip speakeasy by night. I truly enjoyed this place, however the bar tab minimum was a pretty shocking $20. The bar, which was crowded, was the only pathway connecting their music room to the outside world, but this is not unique to The Hideout as this is a shared trait at similar locations like Cole's Bar and Beat Kitchen.

The location makes it feel like it's not just called The Hideout, but that it actually is one sitting across from the parking lot of some of Chicago's garbage trucks, with the Chicago skyline lingering over it. Once the river of squirming customers pushed me downstream to the front doors I realized you could take your drinks outside to their front patio, which was pretty enjoyable. The live music continues to play through two mounted speakers outside as well.

The music room is dressed front to back with strings of lights and warm bulbs that act as the overhead lighting for most of the room. Contrary to a handful of Chicago music venues, which leave your ears shrieking in pain from the awful acoustics and sound EQ, this place had all of the bands sounding really wonderful (even if they were belting into the mics and thrashing their keyboards and guitars) and clear from any point in the room.

Good spot, bar tenders are pros and the stage area has a great vibe with the fairy lights and the disco ball

One of the best spots in the city to hang out and catch a variety of live shows, from music to talking politics.

Too many tickets sold for a comedy show, but could imagine the space works nicely for music shows. Cool little bar in front.

Went to see a friend of a friend's band last night, and was thrilled with this place! Bar has a great vibe, service was great, ATM was a little slow, but did work! Will definitely recommend to others and be back sometime!

Love this joint. I'd give it five stars if it was in just about any other Midwestern city, but Chicago is easily the best city in the Midwest for live music and music venues, and it's easily in the top three cities in the whole country for such things.

So, since The Hideout has so much excellent competition in Chicago, it only gets four stars, as venues like Metro, Lincoln Hall, Double Door, etc., get five stars. But this place has an awesome vibe. The atmosphere is excellent: tiny place with a cool front bar; the live room is in the back and is similar to the live rooms at Beat Kitchen & Schuba's, albeit a bit smaller than those joints, but it's a great place to see smaller bands as well as just to hang out.
