About the venue
Jackhammer is a gay bar on North Clark Street in Rogers Park, at the far north end of Chicago's gay bar map. It has a Levi's-and-leather feel and draws a lot of bears and leather men, but the door is open to everyone and it works as a neighbourhood bar too…
“Beautiful gay bar with outdoor seating and an upstairs and a downstairs. All restrooms are gender neutral. Delicious house shots. I had a green tea shot. Yum!” — King Crow, Google
“Came for karaoke night, was not disappointed. The DJ was amazing, all the staff and patrons are so welcoming. One of my favorite gay bars I have ever visited.” — Sean O'Connell, Google
