About this event
Heat IML is your chance to experience the energy and community spirit of International Mr. Leather weekend at Jackhammer, a Rogers Park institution that's been a welcoming home for leather and alternative communities for over two decades. You'll find yourself in a judgment-free space where self-expression is celebrated, whether you're into the scene or just curious to see what the buzz is about—grab a drink, shoot some pool, and soak in the vibrant atmosphere on the dance floor or out on the patio. It's the kind of night where you'll meet people who get it, in a place that's genuinely happy you showed up.
