Where the “26 girls” rolled the dice for dances and 10 cent drinks.īorn as a 19th Century Shanty, straight from the mud by ditch-digging Irishmen with dirty boots and hats, always hats, pushed aside by the nickel and dime Prohibition Era Sicilian button men. The Hideout is the place where the hard working man and the hard working hustler met for beer and eggs.
Built by undocumented 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. Hammers pounding in nails faster than the city could tear it down. The Hideout is a 100 year old balloon-frame house, built in two days, still here a century later.
We didn’t choose the name it has been called the Hideout since it opened (legally) in 1934. The Hideout is a regular guy bar for irregular folks who just don’t fit in, or just don’t want to fit in.
