About this venue

The Hideout is a 100-year-old balloon-frame house, built in two days, still here a century later. Hammers pounding in nails faster than the city could tear it down. Built by workers at the end of the 19th Century, run by undocumented bootleggers and gin runners, running numbers, racing horses, making deals, and moving in the make.

    The Hideout made our wedding incredibly special and their organization put us at ease during typical wedding stress. The staff is top notch and I cannot imagine having such a great day anywhere else. Definitely perfect place to bring in live music and your own food. Looking forward to returning for shows and events!
