IML XXXTRA! Monday Bunday + Late Night Lights Out Party

Cell Block's Monday night mixer brings together the leather and kink community for an evening that spans both the front bar and the legendary backroom. The front opens at 1 p.m. for those looking to start early; the backroom action kicks off at 8 p.m. It's the kind of night where the vibe shifts as the evening deepens — casual connection up front, more uninhibited exploration in back. 21+ with valid ID.

Disco and backroom classics curated by bartender DJ Zack — the kind of night that reminds you why Cell Block exists. Free entry, free coat check, and a dance floor that gets properly packed. 21+ with valid ID.

Backroom beats and club bangers from multiple eras, curated and pre-mixed by bartender Zack. Free entry, complimentary clothing check — exactly the kind of no-frills, good-time Wednesday that keeps people coming back.

Karaoke meets kink at Cell Block's Wednesday night showcase — Phab Phil behind the mic, a leather-clad crowd ready to cheer, and the kind of song selections that range from power ballads to pure camp. It's the sweet spot between getting loose on the mic and soaking in the unapologetically bold energy that makes this venue legendary. Whether you're belting it out or just here for the show, expect a room full of people who know how to have a genuinely good time.

Ruff Trade's IML welcome party brings together the pup, pet, and handler community at Cell Block, a legendary home for leather and fetish culture in Chicago. Meet other pups and handlers, swap scritches and sniffs, and dive into the scene that's been central to this community for decades. Whether you're new to pup play or a seasoned handler, this is the night to connect.

Sweaty, trashy, and unapologetically fun — this is the house music dance party that doesn't take itself seriously. Milty Evans and JANKY are behind the decks spinning dirty house that'll have you moving without thinking. Free clothes check means you can shed what you don't need and just dance. Ten bucks gets you in; the rest is on you.
