Cell Block Chicago

"The Cell Block has it all: Darts! A pool table! A leather bar in the back! Coined by regulars as “your neighborhood bar with a fetish,” this spot is a great place to meet your new queer best friends and then subsequently make out with them a few hours later. The main area of the bar is low-key and a nice place to chat with buddies over a heated game of pool, which is also free on Mondays. And the back is open for anyone wanting a more intimate, adult experience. Whether your preference is to be whipped or play a relaxing round of darts, this place caters to all." - abby keller

Love how welcoming this place is from management to bartenders. It's not uptight even though it's boys Town. Actually I don't think boys town is uptight. Make sure you stop in you'll have a great time

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had the pleasure of being served by Sergio, and I have to say, he made my night unforgettable! Not only is he an exceptional bartender, but he's also one of the coolest and most welcoming guys I've ever met. From the moment I walked in, Sergio made me feel like a VIP. His friendly demeanor and attention to detail made the entire experience top-notch. Whether it was crafting the perfect cocktail or just having a great conversation, Sergio truly knows how to make his guests feel special. If you're looking for a spot with a great vibe and an even better bartender, this is the place to be. Thanks, Sergio, for making my night one to remember!. World Class Service.

I go there every time I come to Chicago. Each time before last night, I’ve had a good time. But last night 08/23/2024 the bartender at the back bar, was paying attention just to his friends. He ignored me while I was waiting for his service at the service station at the bar. He probably made a good amount of tips from his friends but definitely, his choice to ignore other customers hurt the bar and left us other customers unattended.

Bartenders are cool. Clientele is diverse. Something for everyone. Front is chill, welcoming, and plenty to do. Back is fun and worth the visit at least once. More if it’s your thing!

On gay pride weekend, management let a cackling group of girls in the back room while dudes were doing their thing. Total buzzkill. They just stood there awkward for nearly 10 mins until they left on their own. Nobody wanted them there. You’re either going to run a seedy gay bar w a back room for MEN or you’re going to run a Disney-themed dive bar where no one does anything. You can’t do both. If management wants to retain its clientele , they shouldn’t be allowing groups of girls in.

Super friendly staff and very welcoming atmosphere. The drinks are very reasonably priced and the music fits the fun upbeat vibe!

Great location look for Sergio the bar tender very cordial n very customer service oriented. Always able to make my drink with no issues. As to parking its a hit and miss. The atmosphere is wonderful everyone is so friendly. Want to just sit and conv with friends pull up a seat. Maybe shoot some darts or maybe play some poll. The back room is a bit darker with a bar n dance floor plenty of seating area and musiic to set the mood. And the rest is just great.
