But The Hideout is still The Hideout..

So you’ll still see your favorite bartenders and staff, hear great music and share real
conversations with your friends: the artists and activists, politicians and just plain folks who are
our community. Like they’ve always been.

The Hideout is a special place. We've celebrated birthdays, weddings, and memorials together.
During tough and sad times, we came together to seek solace. This is the Hideout community which will continue.

If you have important H/O memories and photos you’d like to share, we’d love to see them!
