Chicago's Hide Out Inn

Chicago's own secret place to have a good time -- the Hide Out Inn, 1354 W Wabasania Avenue, Chicago, Illinois

Tel: (773) 227-4433

It's been some years -- like eight -- but I have always meant to post something about the Hide Out. It is a small place, but with a rich history of mobsters from the Prohibition Days of Old Chicago. Today, it is a great small venue and a lot of the literary types hang around there, as well as musicians.

The food was great. You can't be afraid of closed in spaces if you go, but if you are okay with that then expect a good old-fashioned time. The service, as I recall, was friendly and very good.

It's out of the way but not too far out of the way, which is good. The bands are especially good here. Meanwhile, the beer is cold, the food is hearty and the facilities are clean. You meet a lot of interesting people here and the conversations are great. Someone should write a book just about this place.
