Join the Monday night crowd at Chicago's anchor leather and fetish bar for a laid-back mixer vibe. Whether you're a leather enthusiast, curious newcomer, or just looking for cheap drinks and good company in a no-frills neighborhood spot, this is where the community gathers. The front bar keeps things casual and welcoming—grab a drink, shoot some pool, and connect with folks who get the scene. This event was imported by Out x Out.
