The new, and somewhat improved, Hideaway Brew Garden reopened for the season with an expanded building and menu. It looks nice and has a solid lineup of entertainment and events, like this past weekend's "Pups and Pirates" Pet Fest and "Margaritas and Makers." However, there are long lines and wait times for food and drinks. The food seems pretty much the same, quality-wise, just newer variety. Also, how can the bathrooms be out of order, due to a burst pipe, this early in the season? If you are here and having drinks, be sure to plan ahead for the long walk (and lines) for the porta johns! We love setting up our chairs and blanket in the shady, back area, under the trees where the music isn't too loud for pups and it isn't as crowded. read more

Hideaway is the kind of place that comes alive when the weather cooperates. The outdoor beer garden is the main attraction -- filled with games, live music, and an easygoing energy that makes it hard to leave. On a nice day, there simply isn't a better spot around. It's a fun, lively destination that delivers exactly what you want from a great outdoor hangout. read more

My family and I recently visited Hideaway Brew Garden for a Taylor Swift Dance Party, we rented the 2D camper which was right next to the DJ and it did not disappoint! The DJ played all the best hits, he had the crowd on their feet all night! The food was amazing with plenty of options to choose from the menu. We also got the Sears Tower beer tower for our group which lasted all night, definitely a must! You can also make it into a cocktail tower, they have other fun towers like the dynamite as well. Our waiters were very attentive throughout the whole night(sorry I forgot their names), we had such a great time, it's definitely a must this summer! & it's kid & pet friendly! read more

What a hidden gem, unless you know about it, you'd never venture here as it's off the traditional path. There is plenty of nearby free parking and they are pet friendly! We came by for an event recently and had such a great time. They have food stalls and a beer garden for you to purchase food and drinks to enjoy at their picnic tables and enjoy great music. They also have campers and saloons that you can rent out for groups ahead of time that you can pre-purchase items for and the bar staff will bring over. We are already making plans to visit again this summer for another show soon. read more

Such a fun and unique summer spot! We visited Hideaway Brew Garden during their Irish Festival and had an amazing time. The atmosphere is super laid-back and family-friendly -- live music, great food and drinks, and even corgi races (which were adorable!). There's plenty of seating, cool vendors with handmade crafts, and string lights that make it feel really cozy in the evening. It's great for both adults and kids -- plus it's pet-friendly, which is a huge bonus. They have themed events all summer long (can't wait for Pet Fest!), so it's definitely worth checking out before the season ends. Highly recommend if you're in the Chicagoland area! read more

Roomy outdoor venue that attracts a lot of fun bands during the warmer months. There are food and beer shacks that serve up summer fare and libations. The staff is fairly invisible while maintaining a nice atmosphere, which is a hard balance to strike. The acoustics are very good for an outdoor experience, and large trees provide a good amount of shade. You can reserve dedicated tables, and there are plenty of places to set up a lawn chair. read more

Nice outdoor beer garden, a great place to meet friends and enjoy live music. Parking here is a bit of a hassle. Beer and drink pricing is high. Bring plastic, the venue doesn't take cash. read more

What a hidden gem!! I had such an amazing time at Hideaway Brew Garden -- I honestly didn't want to leave. The vibe is unbeatable: twinkle lights, live music, picnic tables under the trees, and such a relaxed atmosphere that makes you feel like you're on a little getaway. The drink selection was solid (great beers and cocktails!), and the staff was super friendly and welcoming. I also appreciated how spacious everything felt -- even when it was busy, it never felt overcrowded. Perfect spot for a summer night out with friends, a casual date, or just to unwind with some great music and fresh air. Definitely one of my new favorite spots in Hoffman Estates. Can't wait to come back! read more

Fun day listening to music. If you were disabled or can't walk long then it might be an issue . Drinks were a bit pricey and wish they recycled the cans instead of just throwing them away with the food . read more

This place helped us make the most of our memories at the tail-end of summer night. It was our 2nd time back at the Hideaway Brew Garden to see one of our favorite local bands "Run Forest Run" featuring Isabella Snow for the night who was simply amazing. It was fun to share this night with the family, snacking on Oreo Churros and dancing to some blasts from the past. Hideaway Brew Garden was the perfect venue to start the weekend and getting our kids acquainted to music and dancing with us. Perfect for couple dates, friends gatherings and family get togethers too. We brought our own seats and chilled out. What I love most about this place is there is no cover or entrance free. They also have some amazing looking spaces for reservations as well. This night we finally redeemed ourselves from the rain pour on the first round (which bad luck ensued twice for both times featuring Taylor Swift nights, one due to power outage and next time closed early due to inclement weather). We will back for more! read more

This is a really cool and fun place to hangout with some friends and enjoy live music, drinks, and food. We came here for a friend's birthday celebration- she rented out the "Friends" trailer area(just like the show Friends). Everything is outside, and there are other trailer/tent areas that can be rented out as well. Next to us was The Office trailer. We were served by a waiter and waitress all night and they actually did a really good job considering how packed the place was, and the fact that there were many others celebrating in other sections with pretty large groups. They had some local beers on their menu, such as the Summerly from Pollyanna brewery located in Roselle. Loved that they're supporting local breweries! I could be wrong, but I think you are only served if you're renting a tent/trailer. There are food and drink stands that you can walk up to and order yourself if you're just hanging out in the lawn. I've attached photos of our Friends trailer. Sooo cute! It resembled the show just enough to make it fun and exciting! The food was decent as well (we had the chicken and Al pastor nachos to snack on). I would definitely come back here. The atmosphere and layout of everything is super nice. read more

Such a fun experience! SO much to do and a nice, interactive experience for families, couples, and people of all ages.

Such a fun spot! Hideaway Brew Garden has such a unique vibe with all the different themed campers, great food, and plenty of drinks to choose from. It's the perfect place to hang out with friends, relax outdoors, and enjoy the atmosphere. The staff is friendly, the music is great, and there's always something going on. Definitely one of the most fun seasonal spots in the area--I'll be back for sure! read more

Obsessed with this place! Great summertime spot for groups with fun activities and great drinks!

Came here with 3 friends for their Thirsty Thursday Theater night and we had a blast! From live music, to trivia games, to good food, and of course, the movie - what a fun way to spend your summer weeknight in the Chicago suburbs! They even have themed cabanas and large scale drinks for you to share with the whole group! Definitely a spot to add to the bucket list, I know I'll be back! read more

This place was a lot of fun! Went with a small group and got their early enough for a bench at Dueling Pianos show. Food was ok - little overpriced but good enough for snacking around the table. Beer prices on par with any outdoor festivals. Once the band worked out their audio issues it was easy to hear and a good crowd. Definitely recommended for a fun group outing. read more

Late post: We went to the dialing pianos with my parents last year and had a great evening! This is a great space to hang out, enjoy the ambiance of a chill patio with bistro lights and picnic tables with some good beer choices. I'm a fan of Hoffbrauhaus Dunkel and it's one of the only places I can find it on tap. If you like German beers, be sure to check out the events leading up to Platzkonzert in September each year. read more

Great environment! Love the trailers and dance floor as well as the wedding g pavilion but the drink options are lacking, the bathrooms are the same as the baseball park my kid plays at and its a hike from where you have to park. read more

The whole concept of Hideaway is on point. It is a great venue, there is a lot of beer variety on tap, in cans, and there are plenty of other drink options. There is also food available that is good with enough variety for a place like this. I also love the space, it's got a very cool vibe with nice tables and also plenty of grass for open seating or lawn games. I would check out the Hideaway anytime the weather is great or you hear of a concert in the park there...Bring your kids and their friends...You will be entertained and they will be too from the sheer open concept of the land there. I have been twice and plan to go back again and again. Why not a perfect review you ask...Well, the prices are a bit high for the suburbs. Most draft beers are $8 which is a bit much for what you are getting. Also, most of the workers are clueless. The people who run the social media do not communicate with the workers. For instance, every Tuesday for awhile now, I would see a Taco and Margarita special posted for Tuesdays...I just went this Tuesday and not only was there no special, multiple workers looked at me like I had two heads. It wasn't a good feeling, especially since two other families came with us on my recommendation. I think they need to keep the promos consistent and fully communicate with all workers at the bar and the food truck. That said, the convenience of being able to bring your kids, is too good to pass up. So pack the kids a cooler to save a couple bucks so the adults can enjoy the bar. read more

What a cute venue. Food/drink line went quick. Bathroom is small for women and the line was nuts. They need more bathroom facilities.

Wonderful outdoor space for summer music. Great tacos and canned drinks. We attended on a Thursday and wasn't crowded read more

Great little Hideaway! Enjoyed ourselves very much. Pulled pork nachos were delicious!

"We want to make this place the new Poplar Creek!" The MC announced. That's a bit of a stretch, but it was fun to hear live music in an outdoor setting so close to the original Poplar Creek Theater. Food was good - especially the quesadillas. Pretzels looked good, too. Beer selection was top-notch, and even the cocktails in cans were tasty. Great crowd, the only complaint is the seating. You have your choice of picnic tables with umbrellas over them (no backs on the seats, hard bench), or those cheap plastic "Adirondack" chairs you see at the home center (you lean so far back in them you swear you're about to get your teeth cleaned), and there's really no elevation to anything, so unless you're in the front row, you won't see most of the band. But those quibbles aside (bring your own chairs and quit whining!), this was a fun night out - when the weather cooperates. Recommended -- but watch the radar! read more

This place is so fun, but came to see an outdoor movie and they turned it off half way through the movie! They said it was due to "rain." It rained a couple drops then completely stopped. I suspect they shut down because they wanted to go home. So disappointed! read more

This venue is cool however, out of touch with pricing. When a white claw cost me $8.(more expensive than Shore Club, downtown Chicago on the beach) something is wrong! They now charge you a fee to sit just about anywhere. It used to be a neighborhood place that everyone went to all the time and now nobody wants to go because it's just too expensive. It is cheaper to go to a four-star restaurant than it is to go to this backyard brew garden. It never used to be like this! I get the whole economy thing I'm all about it but, It cost us more to go here than it did when we went to Ruth's Chris with a great bottle of wine. Something is wrong here. We try really hard to support local and there's a very large group of us but I can't get anyone to come back to the Hideaway and that's sad. The last time we went was just a few nights ago and it was dead! read more

We decided to see this venue (Thursday) it was country music. It was great, beautiful weather. People wore masks and distancing was done. read more

Hideaway Brew Garden - Music started at 7 till 10. They also have a taco truck. - Beer Gardens Near Me - Hoffman Estates, Illinois

Nice venue. Free music. Incredibly expensive beer. $14 for a 16oz can of Wild Onion Misfit and it was warm and fizzed out when I opened it.

I bought a giant pretzel for $12 which is what it is its a good pretzel but then they ask if I want cheeses or mustard and I say both and she didn't tell me that a little cup of cheese and a little cup of mustard was $4 EACH!!! I PAIED 8 DOLLARS FOR A CUP OF CHEESE AND MUSTARD!!! read more

Attended yesterday for some live music. $23 for 4 tacos, $22 for a white claw and a glass of wine. Definitely tried to look at pricing before we went but no surprise that they are not listed anywhere when they cost that much. I'm very confused on why this place charges so much when there is no overhead? No waiters, no cleanup, no rent? Not even a parking lot? Upon walking out we discovered how much it costs to rent out a "special area" , like a booth, an enclosure or "pit" close to the bar, or even a fenced off area near a staged camping trailer. Outrageous. I'm sure many people are willing to pay that kind of money for Instagram worthy photos and the ambience, but I am definitely not one of them. Bravo on the business plan though :-/ read more

This secret beer garden party is the coolest thing ever!

Really cool place. But literally took almost half hour to get a beer. Hopefully service gets better ! You have to stand in long line that barely moves , since they serve food too. They need Express Beer lines ! I would give the Venue 4 stars ! But add in the time to get a beer drops it , and makes it hard to justify going back. read more

Stopped in yesterday for an hour and might have found my new summer watering hole. Very cool place. Nice setup, laid back atmosphere. Numerous beers on tap, plus canned beers and other drinks. $8 draft is a bit high, but great craft beer selection. Play music, and also have a "stage" for live music. 2 sets of bags to use. Plenty of shade to be found, or seats in the sun. Dog friendly. read more

Outstanding ambiance where you least expect it. Get ready for great selection of beer, food truck items and great sunset views off the pond. Perhaps plan ahead and grab Adirondack chairs with bon fire pit to boot. Watch for the nights with music which can be hit or miss in talent. But it's still a great time every time as a whole it's tucked away and allows you to just hideaway. Side note: they are handling COVID-19 in stride. Social distancing done well and enough space to find a lawn spot to just chill. If you are looking for a time out away from the house then grab a beer at this awesome place. read more

This review is in regards to their new Winter Refuge. It has been so nice to be able to find a space where you can be socially distanced and still see live music and have a drink. Having said that - wowza! The drinks are pricey! But, you are helping support a local place, which eases the pain just a little. I'm taking one star away, because, as the designated driver on our night out, they did not offer free water. I had to buy a bottle, which okay, but most bars will serve water to patrons for free. Also, get your reservations early - like weeks in advance - if you want a table! read more

Hawthorne's Backyard is so much better. They have a huge fire pit and a huge outdoor fireplace. Free multiple corn hole setups, free volleyball, free bands, free tents to sit under or rent a large one. Every table has an umbrella and an actual server! They have a whiffle ball stadium, pig roasts, a large menu and cheapest drinks around. And you don't have to walk a mile to get from your car to get a drink. On top of that, Hideaway is only open 3 evenings a week and only for a couple hours. No thanks. read more
