The Hideout (officially The Hideout Inn) is a music venue located in an industrial area between Lincoln Park and Bucktown neighborhoods of Chicago in an area called the Elston Avenue Industrial Corridor.[1] The Hideout has been an important venue for live rock music since it was purchased by long-time friends, Tim and Katie Tuten, and Mike and Jim Hinchsliff in 1996.[2][3] While there are regular musical performances, the Hideout is also open and functions as a local neighborhood bar, and often hosts regular residencies and cultural events celebrating Chicago history.[4]

History

The front bar of the Hideout was originally a balloon-frame house built in 1890. The rear performance area was built in the 1950s.[5] The building has operated as a public house since 1916, and was a prohibition-era neighborhood tavern amd liquor establishments.[1][6]

In 1996, The Hideout was purchased and is co-owned by the Tim and Katie Tuten, who are married, and Mike and Jim Hinchsliff, who are twins.[2][3][7]

In 2011, co-owner Tim Tuten gave a brief history of the balloon-framed building to the Chicago Tribune:

It was likely built by Irish workers in the late 1800s, then over time went from being a home to a public house, then an illegal bar run by Irish bootleggers — the Irish were dredging the Chicago River then, and building the grain elevators around Goose Island, building the subways. So Prohibition ends in 1933. And then it becomes a legal bar in 1934 — also called the Hideout. Then it falls into the hands of the Italians, who ran it for 49 years. Then we come in.[8]

The venue got its name, "The Hideout," because of its obscure location next to the where the Chicago Department of Fleet Management stores its snow plows.[9] The name is also an homage to Al Capone's legendary Hideaway.[1]

In 2017, the Chicago Tribune said, "if there’s anywhere that feels like drinking in your family living room, it’s this legendary music lounge neighborhood tavern."[10] Listing The Hideout as one of the top 10 must-visit places in Chicago, The Guardian said, "this beloved local institution has a small front bar and a back room performance space that hosts live bands, comedy acts, poetry open mics and late-night dance parties. With twinkling lights and a homey vibe, it’s also just a damn fine bar to drink any night of the year with a friendly crowd."[11]

Programming

Since 1996, the venue has hosted the Hideout Block Party which Chicago magazine described as “perennially the best music fest of the year.”[12] The Hideout Block Party is a 2-day musical extravaganza that includes kid-friendly entertainment.[9]

In the spring, the Hideout hosts a Farmer Talent Show, where community-supported agriculture (CSA) farmers from the Band of Famers organization of The Chicagoland CSA Coalition (a project of Illinois Stewardship Alliance) put on a talent show with singing and dancing and provide information on the CSA model.[13][14]

For ten weeks in the summer of 2015, the Hideout opened a pop-up location along the Chicago Riverwalk between State Street and Wabash Avenues.[2]

Starting in the summer of 2017, the Hideout put on the Picnics on the Porch series of musical nights.[15]

Performers who have appeared at the Hideout include Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, Glenn Kotche, John Stirratt and Mikael Jorgensen, etc. Billy Corgan played a series of 9 Monday evening show during which he created the band Zwan. Peformers like Rick Nielsen and Neko Case played between sets.[9]

Recordings

In 2008, Grammy nominated Mavis Staples recorded a live album called Live: Hope at the Hideout at the Hideout[16] The WTTW public television program “The Interview Show”, hosted by Mark Bazer, is filmed at the Hideout.[17][18]
