Chicago, Illinois
Independent cottage music bar with a monthly queer variety show.
The Hideout is a small music and performance bar tucked into an industrial pocket on the edge of West Town, run as an independent venue since the 1990s. It books indie music, storytelling, and offbeat live programming, including Derry Queen's monthly queer variety show. The space is a converted two-story cottage with a worn, welcoming barroom and a back-room stage.
