About this event
Primal IML is your chance to dive into Chicago's leather and alternative scene at one of the city's most welcoming institutions—Jackhammer has been a judgment-free home for self-expression for over two decades. This Saturday night, you'll find yourself surrounded by folks celebrating leather, denim, rubber, and everything in between, with plenty of space to dance, connect, and just be yourself on the dance floor or out on the patio. Whether you're a seasoned leather enthusiast or just curious about the community, Primal IML brings together people who get it, in a place that's been earning trust and loyalty since day one.
