The Hideout is a historic live music bar by the North Branch in Chicago, hosting weddings, private parties and fundraisers for up to 140 seated guests. Planners pick it for a private party with real character: a stage, a full sound system and room for a band or DJ.
A group can book the whole venue, which takes in a wood-paneled front bar and a back music room with a stage about 16 feet wide by 10 feet deep. Zola lists the venue for up to 140 seated guests, and seating is set for each event.
Events here run around the bar and the stage. There is a full bar with beer and cocktails, flexible bar packages and non-alcoholic choices such as root beer, ginger beer, juices and NA beers. No food is served, so groups bring in their own food or order pizza. The stage has an upright piano, turntables and CDJs, and two pull down projection screens, which suits a band, a DJ set, toasts or a slideshow.
Rental pricing is set per event by the venue's manager. Past private events include weddings, baby parties, bas mitzvahs, Christmas parties, fundraisers and memorials, and minors are welcome at private rental events. The bar and music room are on one level with a ramp at the entrance, and there is free street parking on Wabansia and nearby streets.
Groups take over the Hideout's front bar and back music room for weddings, private parties, fundraisers and memorials. The manager sets rental pricing for each event, the bar runs a flexible bar package, and the group brings in its own food. A band or DJ can use the in-house stage and sound.
