Politico’s Illinois Playbook Live! with Shia Kapos & special guest Former Mayor Lori Lightfoot

03/19/2026

After 30 years of owning The Hideout, Jim, Mike, Katie and Tim have sold the club to Teri O’Brien, a musician and former Hideout employee.

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!
Email images and notes to [email protected].

Here’s to everything that makes The Hideout, The Hideout!
