Hideout
Maybe it’s all the Pabst, the strangely industrial surroundings, or the room of sweaty thrift-store bedecked hipsters grinding to soul records at the postshow dance party, but an evening in this two-room lodge of indie rock and alt-country can be downright transcendent. The owners have nursed an outsider, underground vibe, and the place feels like the downstairs of your grandma’s rumpus room. Music and other events (bingo, literary readings etc) take place nightly.

California Clipper
Chicago’s literary scene might be small but it is feisty, featuring locals and out-of-towner readings in comfortable (often boozy) DIY settings. The California Clipper host reliable events.
