Touche

Overweight white guy with long beard looking like a hell’s angel biker from the 70s is rude I was told to get out because I wasn’t buying a drink not could you sit somewhere else no I had to leave because I wasn’t being fair to the staff because I didn’t buy a drink listen I get that’s how yall make money but customer service needs to improve so it’s a no go for me first time there never again

Problematic and out of touch

Monday with Jimmy is always a good time. Mellow vibes. Fun music. Lots of laughs!

We had nothing like this on the South Side. So I am making up the time and enjoying myself to the fullest when I get the chance to stop by. This place is Heaven on Earth for people like me who like to experiment with new looks and smells.

I walked in, paid the check for my bag and was immediately told by the bartender he wouldn't serve me. I've been there a couple of times and always been nice to the bartender even though he can't get an order right. Honestly I think it's a race thing.

Touche is a local gay bar that harkens back to a time before hookup apps and cellphones changed how men meet and socialize. Most of the staff is friendly. The drink prices are reasonable. All are welcome, although the majority of the customers are LGBTQ men looking to relax and have a good time after work or on the weekends. David, the manager, keeps everything running as it has for almost half a century. The calendar is sprinkled with events throughout the week from movies to leather club nights to play parties to contests to fundraisers to .... Touche has one of the rare 4 am licenses (5 am on Sunday morning) so it is a great place to end the night after other bars or events have closed. There is nothing modern or trendy or pretentious about Touche, which is exactly what makes it a great place to hang out with old friends or meet new ones. Touche is just itself, so you can be yourself there as well.
