I want to increase the screen real estate for my Chrome app. The Address Bar is useless in a Chrome App and I was wondering if there was a way to disable it.
You can run Chrome in application mode.
Windows:
Chrome.exe --app=https://google.com
Mac:
/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --app=https://google.com
Linux:
google-chrome --app=https://google.com
This removes all toolbars, not just the address bar, but it will definitely increase your real estate without having to use Kiosk mode.
Even though the question is about gaining some space removing the address bar, you can also gain some space by toggling the bookmark bar on and off, using Ctrl + Shift + B, or ⌘ Cmd + Shift + B, in Mac OS.
Hitting F11 may work for you.(Full-screen mode)
It appears that the hiding the address bar without going full screen is no longer an option:http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/d7LfleRNX7M
Visit the site you want in Chrome. Click the Chrome menu in your browser toolbar.
Once you launch from that shortcut it will be a window without toolbar.

wanted this done for a 'YouTube Pop-out Player' without Chrome Address / Toolbar or Bookmarks Bar; solution ended up being a small edit of MarkHu's answer (because of new updates, i guess?)
Go to the page you want altered, select Chrome Toolbar's 'Hamburger button' (3 horizontal lines).
From there: More tools > Add to desktop... > Open as window (tick box) > Add (button).
... and, simply open your page from the new desktop shortcut, adjust as needed, and enjoy!
On macs chrome browser:
cmd-ctrl-f
Just repeat to undo or hover above top
cmd-shift-f
cmd-shift-f
undo hide cmd-ctrl-f
undo full screen
