Hideout
4.7
"In the middle of nowhere, surrounded by everything," says co-owner Jim about Hideout's location . . .or maybe it was Mike. They're twins. In any case, finding the Hideout is half the fun. It's off Elston between North Avenue and Armitage, on the outskirts of what remains of the North Side's steel district. Live music almost every night.
