The premier leather bar in
Chicago, the Cellblock lies on the northern edge of
the Halsted St. bar strip in the Lakeview
neighborhood. Though it’s primary clientele is the
leather and bear crowd, it is open to everyone and
the bar staff and customers are very welcoming to
all. This is particularly true on Thursdays, when
the bar offers $1.50 well drinks and draft beer and
the crowd is a cross section of gay Chicago. |
|
|
|
The bar is divided into two main
areas. The front bar is open seven days a week to
the general public. Along one wall is the bar
itself, and opposite that is a rarely used dance
floor, though the music played in the bar is mainly
dance music, with live DJs spinning Friday through
Sunday. Towards the back is where you’ll find the
pool table, an ATM, and on Friday and Saturday
nights, you’ll also find the Leather Cell by Male
Hide. It’s a great place to pick up any last minute
leather items or accessories. |
|
|
|
The back bar is only open
Thursday through Saturday and a strict dress code is
enforced. (At least one major article of leather or
uniforms, no white sneakers, chinos, fluffy sweaters
and/or heavy cologne.) It is divided into two
sections; the Holding Cell where you’ll find another
bar and a shoe shine stand, and the Yard, which is
primarily for socializing. For the adventurous, the
Yard contains a chain web, a wooden cross, and a
narrow steel cage. |
