I always have a nice time here! The back bar is my fovorite... don't bother if it's not open; only because the 'front bar only' guys are very clicky... but in back, everybody is friendly and good... i'm coming from milwaukee, and the gay scene in milwaukee is one of the most Toxic in the whole of the united states... i stopped going out to the gay bars in milwaukee because their attitude here is very immature and hateful... if you are not the exact same as them; a clone, then you will be 100% ostracized... but at Cell Block i am treated like a hunan being... i was just there on saturday, and it felt so good to be talked to, and looked at, and interacted with... i forgot what that was like here in wisconsin hell... thank you cell block for being what you are... 🤗

Bartenders are cool. Clientele is diverse. Something for everyone. Front is chill, welcoming, and plenty to do. Back is fun and worth the visit at least once. More if it’s your thing!

I go there every time I come to Chicago. Each time before last night, I’ve had a good time. But last night 08/23/2024 the bartender at the back bar, was paying attention just to his friends. He ignored me while I was waiting for his service at the service station at the bar. He probably made a good amount of tips from his friends but definitely, his choice to ignore other customers hurt the bar and left us other customers unattended.

I had the pleasure of being served by Sergio, and I have to say, he made my night unforgettable! Not only is he an exceptional bartender, but he's also one of the coolest and most welcoming guys I've ever met. From the moment I walked in, Sergio made me feel like a VIP. His friendly demeanor and attention to detail made the entire experience top-notch. Whether it was crafting the perfect cocktail or just having a great conversation, Sergio truly knows how to make his guests feel special. If you're looking for a spot with a great vibe and an even better bartender, this is the place to be.
Thanks, Sergio, for making my night one to remember!.
World Class Service.

Did you know they have an ATM? It’s in the back and it’s only $3.00!
On gay pride weekend, management let a cackling group of girls in the back room while dudes were doing their thing. Total buzzkill. They just stood there awkward for nearly 10 mins until they left on their own. Nobody wanted them there. You’re either going to run a seedy gay bar w a back room for MEN or you’re going to run a Disney-themed dive bar where no one does anything. You can’t do both. If management wants to retain its clientele , they shouldn’t be allowing groups of girls in.

Love how welcoming this place is from management to bartenders. It's not uptight even though it's boys Town. Actually I don't think boys town is uptight. Make sure you stop in you'll have a great time
