Join the crew at Cell Block for Thirsty Thursday, a weekly drink special night at Chicago's anchor leather and fetish bar. Whether you're a leather enthusiast or just curious about the scene, the front bar welcomes everyone with a relaxed vibe—grab a cheap drink, shoot some pool, and soak in the neighborhood energy. The back bar opens at 8 p.m. for those looking to dive deeper into the leather and kink community, so check the dress code before you head in to make sure you're ready for the room you want to experience.
