The Kennel

The Kennel is your chance to dive into Chicago's legendary leather and alternative scene at Jackhammer, a Rogers Park institution that's been a judgment-free home for the community for over two decades. Expect a welcoming crowd ready to celebrate self-expression, whether you're into the leather aesthetic, looking to connect with like-minded folks, or just want to experience the authentic energy of this iconic spot. With a dance floor, pool tables, darts, and a killer outdoor patio, there's plenty of ways to hang out and have fun—all while enjoying daily drink specials and the kind of genuine hospitality that keeps people coming back.
