Cell Block

Located in the heart of the Halsted nightclub scene, this Boystown gay bar’s known for its leather theme nights; exposed brick, black walls and cocktail tables match the mood. But don’t worry if that’s not your thing: Everyone’s welcome here. Don’t expect much dancing. Instead, the crowd often subscribes to the “stand and bop” school of movement. On weekends, a second bar in back opens up to accommodate overflow.
