Time Out ChicagoMay 23, 2012An eclectic musical appetite, commitment to community building and friendly staff keep this cozy bar in a class of its own. Don't leave without ordering a Wooden Leg. -ASK Read more
AFAR MediaAugust 4, 2014The Hideout Block Party is one of the best - and latest - summer music festivals in Chicago. The two-day festival is held outside of The Hideout, an intimate Chicago live music spot. Read more
Nicholas TaylorApril 5, 2013Great place for awesome local artists, especially music. Check out some of the many awesome band that's been on this stage, Derek Nelson and the Musicians, The Mutts, and my fav. Paper Thick Walls!
Kevin M. McNally, CMPAugust 20, 2018You know when you walk into a place and you feel the groove, the vibe, "this is it". Yup. The Hideout Bar's ambiance is memorable. Great people watching and live music. Check it out!
ChicagoistJanuary 27, 2015Other than a good sweater and a roaring fire, one of the best ways to stay warm and cope with the seemingly never-ending winter is enjoying a hot bowl of homemade soup. Get yours here from 5:30pm. Read more
deborah lambertyOctober 14, 2016It is the best bar around. Appeals to all ages and has the coolest vibe. Love it!
Raksha RavikumarFebruary 26, 2014Veggie Bingo is out of season (sad) but is beyond fun. Don't miss The Interview Show the first Friday of every month-- they're great.
- Men's Health MagNovember 15, 2011Where they won’t floor you with décor (what do you expect from a 100-year-old house?), they do it with the music and rye. Order The Wooden Leg, named after an old bartender’s band.
ChrisMay 13, 2010Go to the Hideout just after you've picked up that tool you neede at te North Ave Home Depot. Hideout is a no-frills just great bar & music venue. One of the best places to see a new band.
- Time Out ChicagoApril 17, 2012In the three years since Martha Bayne started Soup & Bread, she’s proven that a modest idea—serve free soup, collect tips for hunger charities—can morph into a movement for social change. Read more
- One of the best and most communitarian venues in Chicago. Always a great time.
Jake SmithFebruary 21, 2013A small front bar gives way to a larger music venue in the back. Order a cheap beer and hang around for some great local acts.
RebeccaNovember 3, 2012So cute venue, but the owner likes to hear himself talk. And will sabotage your experience by talking nonsense. My advice be prepared for a 2 hour show to last 4 hours. The end.- Chicago Bar BracketMarch 21, 2015A little bit out of the way and in a place you wouldn't expect to find a bar, but a great find and worth a return trip. Read more

Adrian AlvaApril 21, 2017Great spot live performances of indie disco music. They often do vinyl releases.
David WeathersbyOctober 15, 2014I really enjoyed this unique venue. Good sized venue that feels intimate.
RCRD LBLJune 29, 2011We imagine this place hasn't changed much since Neko Case was behind the bar. Though it's tucked away in an alley, you feel like home when you arrive.
Lucille FisherFebruary 23, 2019Great night out! Luckily we chanced on the One Liner Chicago Comedy Competition, with 64 local comedians competing to no. 1. Hilarious!
Gregory CohenSeptember 7, 2014The staff here is amazing. The bartenders even make an out of town teetotaler feel welcome.
Bruce PaulOctober 16, 2011The name describes it perfectly, though they host some of the better alternative/country bands in the city.
Buck TownOctober 14, 2014Monday nights with Robbie Fulks -- the best ten bucks you can spend in Chicago.
Travel + LeisureFebruary 21, 2014Anything goes at this music venue in Bucktown—from Baudelaire-inspired shows to performances by indie rock bands.
Sweet place to see a live show! When u leave watch out for cops fueling up at end of the block.
- Erin H.September 14, 2010Hipster Dance Parties mean everyone looks just as stupid with their funky moves. Give in, and dance the night away!
Below-average pricing with a spectrum of beers available.
Daniel AlbertOctober 25, 2010Check out Life During Wartime once-a-month. Best dance party in the city!
- Adam rarestockSeptember 12, 2010I miss the Hideout Block Party as it was in 2008 and before. I love this place though.
