About Jackhammer's Nightclub

Jackhammer's Nightclub is a pioneering LGBTQIA+ venue on Chicago's north side, featuring multiple levels for dancing, sports, fetish spaces, and an outdoor patio. Since its purchase by 2Bears Tavern Group in 2018 and a January 2023 reopening after renovations, Jackhammer's continues to host iconic events like the IML Black and Blue Ball and regular Playland nights. This page covers seating, parking, transit options, and nearby hotels and dining to help you plan a seamless visit to this inclusive, community-focused venue.

Located at 6406 N Clark St in the Lincoln Square/Rogers Park edge of Uptown, Jackhammer's is easily accessible by public transit and is surrounded by accommodations and eateries that cater to visitors seeking a convenient, enjoyable night out.

Venue spaces include labeled areas such as The Hole, Rec Room, and Den, plus a large dance floor and an outdoor patio. While there is no public seating chart, guests typically move freely between spaces to enjoy dancing, socializing, and events. Parking relies on street parking and nearby lots.
