By Bill DeYoung

At the Hideaway Café, “business as usual” is live music, with a kitchen and a bar. Pretty much in that order (well, with some people the bar will always come first, and that’s just the way it is).

Of course, there hasn’t been any “as usual,” for any public business, for a couple of months. But Hideaway owner John Kelly is making... Read More

by Bill DeYoung

Nearly 20 years have elapsed since Rebekah Pulley arrived in St. Petersburg, acoustic guitar in hand, and set out to create a place for herself in local music.

She was, by her own account, shy and tentative, and unschooled in the mechanics of “fitting in” to the scene – inasmuch as St. Pete had a scene to fit into in 1991. This... Read More

The Hideaway Café is unique among St. Petersburg’s live music venues. You can get wine and beer, but it isn’t a bar, exactly. There’s a kitchen, which turns out pretty tasty food, but it’s not really a restaurant.... Read More

By Kelly Church

In a saturated world of bars with live music, the Hideaway Café is a breath of fresh air. This Nashville-esque venue calls St. Petersburg, FL home and owner John Kelly wears many hats. John not only comes from a musical background, but a culinary one as well and he incorporates the best of both worlds in his combination recording studio, original music venue and... Read More
