The Hideout has never aimed to homogenize our patronage. So when the Tribune included us in an article last month depicting the various havens, spaces and homes in an exploration of Chicago’s nightlife and entertainment industry’s relationship with the LGBTQIA community, we were honored. From our programming to our staff to the people that walk through our doors everyday, we’ve remained cemented in the idea that best places, the most important places, are those that are rooted in individuality, diversity, self-expression and acceptance. We hope that everyone who comes to the Hideout knows that they will be treated with dignity, respect and understanding–and that we are proud to put out a program that caters to every corner of Chicago’s social spectrum.
