The music is described as "bumpin'" and nightclub-like, creating a lively atmosphere. The drinks are known for being strong and affordable. The bartenders are friendly and attentive, though some mention that the back bar staff can be inconsistent. The front bar is relaxed and welcoming, while the back bar is fun and a highlight for many visitors. The decor is a bit dated but suits the dive bar vibe. The staff is praised for being friendly and inclusive, especially toward trans individuals. Many customers appreciate the safe space to let loose, dance, and have fun. The backroom is often highlighted as a cool, adult fun area with a great crowd, making it a favorite spot for those seeking an inclusive environment. There are private bathrooms available, although the front bathroom stall does not latch. Overall, Cell Block Chicago is a lively and inclusive bar with a mix of fun nights and occasional service hiccups.
